IG-100 Magnaguard tips and tricks, with video
I've been quite vocal about how valuable a droid team member 100 is, so I'm putting this up for later reference if I need it. The first important point to note is that he's not the best at anything...

@Zombie961 You've already got a solid lineup. I was FTP for the first four months I played. But I have to be honest, as a FTP player, Grievous is not worth the grind. He is undoubtedly one of the best toons available for droid squads but to get him to the level I have (50/100 for 7*) has taken nearly 4 months of grinding.
This grinding meant spending about 300 crystals a day refreshing energy to complete all the hard mode battles that would get me shard shop currency and spending every Arena, GW and Cantina payment on toons I'd already maxed.
If Guilds hadn't have come along, I could justify it. But I now find myself with a serious deficit compared to my piers. I was already at 5* on GG when they were introduced so I resolved to stay the course. I'm not in a particularly active guild so I still hold my own but I could have been a top contributor to a top guild if I hadn't chased GG.
It's your call. I saved 50+ purple mats and 10 Omega mats + 3M creds and a whole bunch of training droids to get GG involved as soon as I unlocked him. But the truth is that you will have to endure that grind many times over to make him a top tier toon.
My honest advice would be to max out 100. You'll see the benefit in a very short time by comparison to GG. By the time you have, B2 will be farmable and R2D2 will be available which will change the droid squad dynamics considerably. It is fair to say that GG is a rich man's 88 and you already have that base covered.
Good luck. If you're on my server, I expect to see you soon. (",)
EDIT: Apologies. By the time I'd spewed all that out, two posters had already given solid advice. That'll teach me for frothing.
