IG-88 or Darth Sidious

IG-88 or Darth Sidious? Who should I save for?

I currently have IG-88 at 3* so I would simply be upgrading him.

My Team

Dooku
Darth Maul
Talia
IG-88
Dathcha
  • I've decided to go with Sidious But I'll be keeping them both in my team

    Wanted to get Sidious so I can start gearing him
  • Sidious is a MUCH better choice if you don't have a lot of toons that synergize with droids( there are some wicked droid combos). I cant get over the fact people would rather have Barriss measly 15% health over a straight 12% crit chance that Sidious leadership skill provides. Crazy. That 12% crit stacks with other characters crit bonuses on there own abilities. Talk about a huuuge spike in DPS with the right teammates. Sidious changed my pathway to designing my pvp squad. Crits my friends and crit damage bonuses are the future of PVP I would bet. Take a look at Princess, Luke, Landos AOE that if it crits "Here comes an instant reset nuclear bomb" and quite a few others toons abilities. Crit monsters. You add 12% on top of inate crit from main stats on top of crit provided by gear on top of crit provided by abilities it starts to get crazy.
  • I've got so many mixed heroes not enough to make a full team but a hybrid maybe. I'm sat at 130 on the leaderboard and not struggling to move up

    Going to run like this when I have Sidious

    Sidious lead
    Lando
    Maul
    Dooku
    Offee

  • IG-88 is not a strong unit. High attach but low health. A safer choice is sidious, he even has an ability to stop healing effects

    I agree. I've started spending on Sidious now. Going to build a full sith team when i have Vader but for now I'll be filling in the gaps with lando for his crit nuke and Sidious combo

    IG is a phenomenal unit when he is in a droid synergized team. There are 60's running a complete droid synergy with NO healer and are melting peoples faces. But as you said alone he is meh.
  • Sid is 80 shards, so 4* when you unlock him. Only have 3 more days, can't wait.

    I've just hit half way. I'm in the top 50s and it's getting very hard to stay there without a complete squad
