Just faced one in arena.. he had phasma lead and straight off the enemy Sid's AoE he had a bonus attack and hit a crit over 9k.. lost one of my characters literally in the first move, he had no buffs or anything and phasma was lead so there wasn't a leader ability to increase crit damage like Sid for instance, is it normal for him to be hitting over 9k on his basic?? If so I may need to get farming xD

He hits like a tank yes. Very low health tho

I just looked at his unique and it's +45% crit damage and +15% for every enemy suffering a negative effect, so going right off of Sid's AoE which added all the damage over time is why he did so much damage!

Haha, yeah he's nice on offense. Life steal is also huge with his AoE. The trick is to stop him making that 1 move.

IG-88's terrifying AOE firepower comes at the cost of mediocre speed and terribly low health. He's supposed to a high dodge character, but in my experience he doesn't seem to dodge much.

Since Sidious AOEed before him, did he land a lot of DOTS on yur squad? If so, don't be surprised by the 9000 crit. For each negative status effect, IG-88 gains 15% damage. So, if someone has 3 dots on him, IG-88 gets a 45% damage boost on that character.

@Hyperalloy Yeahh Sid landed a lot of DOTS and then because of phasma lead he bonus attacked straight away otherwise I would've had him before his turn!-.-

On my list of priorities, taking out IG-88 is right up on top. Before even Geonosian Cannon Bug and Junk Jedi of Jakku. That droid haunts my nightmares.

@Nonemo Yeah he is an absolute nuisance! If he had more health he would literally rule the game!xD by the way I think I fought you in arena yesterday!;p

We're on the same shard? Cool! I was fooling around with a Dooku/Yoda build. Thought I should try out the free EVA up from battle meditation. Today I'm running Barriss/Kylo/RG/Dooku/QGJ. Much better team. ^^
