Ig88 or hk47

Simply bc those 3 characters have huge crit damage

Yes but 88,86 and gs all are critical based attackers and 20% crit chance is a huge boost for them.

25% more damage is also a huge boost.

Depends on what you want from them.

As everyone will say, hk47 would be best as a driod squad leader.

47 is a big dollop of sturdy self res goodness. Comes into his own when throwing grenades into groups of Jedi.
88 is made out of papermache but armed with a howitzer, he can deal an immense amount of damage.


If your sticking to a droid team,its 50/50 choice if you already have poggle maxed.
Did you make a choice?

Hk has the best leader ability, and I like the toon a lot. But in current meta, he "uses" a slot that could be a stronger DPS like Geo. You need a slot for Poe. You probably want Poggle's buff. If you use HK, you are left with 2 real damage dealers, who die when someone looks in their direction. If enemy's Poe starts, and you are unlucky, your glass cannons might die before they act. That's why some people is transitioning to Poggle (L), Geonosian Soldier, IG88, IG86 and Poe.

with a droid team nobody uses IG-100?

at player level 58 I am getting to a point where I need more than 7 toons to clear GW, so was thinking of leveling my droids. I have HK at 4*, gear 7, lvl 56. I have a 4* poggle and an 86 I am starting to level up.

I was thinking of aiming for a team of HK, 86, 88, 100 and Poggle. leaves no room for a taunt or heals, but as a suicide squad to eliminate 1 or 2 toons in the last battles of GW I think it would be solid, especially if it happens to be Jedi heavy team

Hk hands Down, 88 is disappointly underwhelming by itself

I made a decision I ended up going hk47
Simply bc I saw more utility for him. Hk is much more useful in galactic war, not that I really need it but he's a lot better then ig88 in the health department. The other reason was that hk47 was almost 6* anyway so I will spend the least time farming him, then I can start 88 later. I really like the fact that hk 47 can throw his grenade and if he gets atleast 3 crits as leader basically moved again straight away. I have gs for now so another glass cannon like ig88 probably wasn't as important. Also hk47 is rediculously easy to get to gear 8

And on the Poe nerf, I don't think he needs to become turn 8. His speed is not the main issue, it's his turn meter reduction bc it pretty much makes battles come down to who Poe goes first. If he had no turn meter reduction then both poe's would taunt at the same time and it would be a fair playing field. Obviously I use Poe bc he's great in this squad but that reduction is OP
Couple him with phasma and you can get almost 3 turns in.
