Ig 88 team

So with 88s omega leader ability a Dot is placed for every crit. I was thinking i could run a team like
88, jawa, jawa engineer, RG, rey.

On the other hand i think i could do much better. Perhaps switching RG and rey for St han and kylo?
The dilemna is that rey would get attacked first and kylo would get ignored.
What team would you guys suggest for ig 88 leadership? It doesnt have to be one using the toons i mentioned. Just have fun with it
  • Ig88, jawa engineer, jawa, datcha, ig86? All the jawas go first, get the crit up buff and use their aoes landing two dots each. Then jawa deals more damage for debuffs units, ig88s Aoe, and finally 86 for synergy, speed, and assist
  • I'm trying 88/Lando/Phasma/Vader/RG. Phasma advantage up plus Lando drops quite a few dots. Works best on offense and against Leia/Rey teams that try to hide them behind taunters.

    Against other teams multi-hit crit attackers work best. 88/Rey/Leia/SThan/RG do impressive work. None of these teams are good on defense. The AI manages AoE as ineptly as anything it does.

    Also note that 88 teams are pretty incredible against Rancor on Phase 2 and 3. When the door drops and all you do is crit all day and all night the results can be 25+ dots on the big dood.

    If you have HK you'll get much better use out of his leader ability than 88s. I've tried both. If you're only setting Vader up for a culling blade one-shot, you don't really need that with an HK lead droid team with JE. Vader's too weak in other areas. Critting for less than 2k is pretty bad.


    I do agree HK with JE is better if build involves droids/jawa. But this thread is on what if with IG88. And I switched to IG88 from HK lead just because I got bored with HK and wanted to try something different. : ) Both are viable, end of day, try what you enjoy / have fun is most important IMO.
  • I have been playing around with 88 lead as well.

    So far I like:

    88 (L)
    Phasma
    Vader
    RG/ ST Han
    QGJ

    If I had a beast lando I would sub him for QGJ.

    Do everyone's basic first turn
    use Victory March
    light up the AOE's and watch as your opponent is showered in DOT's.
  • If 88 is your leader you want Geo Soldier with omega ability- 50% turn meter on critical, he goes so often it is crazy.
