Ig-86 in droid squad for AAT

Is he worth it? I currently have him g7 almost 8 and 5* and his attack is still kind of weak. Does he grow or do I leave him alone?
  • His assist and criticial damage bonuses are the difference between Ig-88 hitting like a freight train and Ig-88 hitting like a Tactical Nuke.
  • Droids can put up big numbers in phase 2 and 4 of AAT. They are still decent in Phase 2 of HAAT, althoughnot to the level of some other teams like clones.

    Team would be HK47 (L), 88, 86, Jaw Engineer, Chief Nebit. Can use someone else in place of Nebit like B2 in AAT, but for HAAT you will need Nebit.
  • All "classic" droids are weak till gear 10. The classic setup is hk (lead), ig88, and ig86 with CC and CD mods. Works super great on phase 2 of aat raid with jawa engineer. The fifth toon favorates are B2 or Nebit. Though I use Lobot, yes lobot, on aat raid to cleanse debuffs and heal my droids.
  • For arena I wouldn't use '86 since there are better options that bring usefull utility to your squad (B2, K2, R2). However, their utilities are not needed in AAT phase 2 / 4. There's nothing to dispel (B2), nothing to daze (K2) to prevent assist and TM gain or to stun (R2) appart from B2s in phase 4, but '86's special will outright kill them, which is much better. '86 is by far the better choice.
