IG-86 is terrible. So terrible, in fact, I refuse to promote him. GA benefits aside (but not ignored), there's an argument to be made that you should simply collect his shards, without promoting him, until the game no longer exists. Because he's terrible. As such, I am currently at 5 stars on him (before I knew what I was doing), but now at over 600/85.Convince me I'm wrong.

No he’s not! 86 is then linchpin to my tricky HK lead droid team where everyone assumes they suck, then they die. Sometimes.

He was..... OK back in the day to fill out a droid team. I still use him on my reserve Droid team sometimes.

He was on my first arena team and raid squad. He actually does ok damage on a droid team. Slow as heck though.

All droids should be taken to 7* and geared to max. 86 is no exception. Respect the droids!!!

Respect the droids?!? When the only viable leader (R2) is a rolling trash can and their only viable attacker (IG88) falls over if you sneeze on your phone, I find it hard to give any respect to them.

I use HK-lead + IG88 + IG86 + JE + Nebit in phase 3 of HSith to bring down 2 of Trayas Light Sabers to set up an easy Chexmix run. 86 pulls his weight.
