Is a droid team with Nebit and B2 viable?

Ideally modded Droid team is virtually unbeatable. For sure, eventually AI will make a mistake in the battle and you exploit it but overall, only Rex can help you.

I dont have rex or fac. Or igd. Or aayla. Or 5s.

But I map my climb thru droid teams. Cuz i beat them pretty much 100%. Even the best whale team. What I know? Maybe with another couple grand in mods they can defend against my all f2p alt squad. The weird thing is je droids with b2 are easier to beat for me than nebit. Nebit at least has a shot at defending if the dice land right. B2 teams have no chance. Not that I can defend against them. But beating them is cake.

I'm not exactly f2p. But I am stretched between the droid team I deserted and the new meta. And my mods are very mediocre. Droids are not a problem. At all.

I, as of right now, mostly own Droids too. I haven't faced ideally written one though imo.

See now, you not being 100% F2P and that's what you take advantage off. I am F2P and barely struggle against them, even without Rex. I rather face Nebit than B2 though. B2 can mess with my systematic killing too much.

So u use droids to kill droids? Unless ur faster, droids are one of the most ill-equipped teams to beat faster droids, imo. With magna ur ok. But 88 and je and even 86 are too vulnerable to being killed before they act.

No I am not f2p, but the droids I beat include at least one whale that puts me to shame. A whale with better mods and 10000% dedicated to droids, only. And all toons I use to kill droids are arena and GW toons, except one cantina node toon. Easy farm. Uber mods not needed to win 99%.

Nah, you misunderstood. I own (as put them in my pocket) Droids. I use Wiggando team. What I consider good mods for the droids?

JE: Health set with 80+ speed as total
B2: Health set with 4x 23.5 Protection as primary
IG-88: 2x Crit Chance and 4x Crit Damage
IG-86: 2x Crit Chance and 4x Crit Damage
HK-47: 6x Potency

If someone equips them like this, all being 5* mods obviously, then you might see yourself in trouble.

Well wiggs definitely beats droids if u have good mods. Problem with droids is they have challenge back andnforth with wiggs. They have a fairly hard counter in rex and igd squad (I hear). And they have the back door wide open where they can easily, easily be beat with worse modded easy farm toons. Rex and wiggs and EP have no such backdoor.

I can beat similar modded droids with wiggs and lando too. But why chance it when I can win 99%? Now using my wiggs ream vs whale droid is suicide. But my alt squad still wins with 5 toons standing. It is taking candy from a baby.

See now? Key word there is similar. Such modded team is one hell of a pain. Like I said earlier, AI will cringe sometime because it is statistically impossible to win every time. Yesterday I had some serious trouble with beating Old Ben (L) ST Han JKA Rey and EP. At first sight, it seemed like a piece of cake but it took me 5+ tries to finally beat it. I exploited when AI decided wrong. Just an example.

Ur not understanding. With Wiggs, need similar mods as droids to have a good chance. Like 75%. With my droid killer squad, I beat whale droids with superior mods all day and twice on sunday. Don't need any speed mods, at all. 99%. Almost impossible to lose.

Droids are fundamentally and fatally flawed on defense. Ever since armor patch. Many people don't seem to notice yet.

Not really a truth. I have good (not great) modded Wiggs and I can still handle a lot of teams. I do agree they tend to have similar mods (both need CD and CC) tho.

I do agree the Droids are flawed on defense, no doubt about it but have you faced B2 with 4x 23.5 Protection? Or Nebit with such mods?

Wiggs is not the best team to kill droids. Nuff said. Not sure on b2 with protection. But I don't care cuz b2 dies second to last anyways. It's already a 4/5 on 2 at that point. If he is protection modded, more likely 5 on 2. You do not need a meta squad to kick droids in the nutless sack they have since armor patch.

St han (even against b2), RG, and 3 other tanks with some punch.... dps, debuffs, tm tricks, or counterattacks... or biggs. Not wiggs, just biggs. You can eat droids for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After they fail to kill a toon, rg stun and return fire, and droids die. Stun 86. Kill 88. KilL 88 again. Kill JE. Kill 86. But take shots on b2 where indicated. U can permastun 86 by now and even save some stun for hk. B2 speeding rg tm and droids naturally slow speed when they dont get 50% tm ensures that. Kill b2. Kill hk. Kill hk. Victory.

Use OB lead, and anni/5s/aayla/biggs. Use anni lead and 5s/aayla/biggs/OB. Use igd lead. Use hk lead, magna, biggs. I am sure there are tons of combos that work. But rg and St han are the backbone. B2 peppers han and rg for tm. RG stun is key. And against nebit, obviously han taunt is huge.

@Maegor nice to meet you. You're on my alt's arena shard. Mozza here. Us guys have our own chat set up on discord, so DM me if you want to get set up. :)

Those 600 crystal mod packs last weekend/week were the best investment since the droid starter bundle. With the bonus crystals, $20 got a truckload of great mods.

47 - crits for 9-10k
88 - crits for 12-20k
100 - crits for 8-10k
B2 - crits for 3-5k

Most droid teams use 86 instead of 100, and that is their downfall. Nebit is too easily dispelled by B2 or Fac on top tier teams.

That's pretty much typical for having crit damage mods, at all.

Most of mine are farmed the hard way. You only need je and nebit maxed to unlock crit damage mods. It is weirdly the easiest mod challenge by far.

All droids on my shard have crit damage sets. The best also get offense stat around 2900. And have JE at 224 base speed and every droid fills.

That is probably nothing on your shard. It is way better than my droid mods in speed and offense. It melts faces.... until you set it against 5 tanks.

86 is used for a reason. It's to kill EP/lando/wedge. Droids go first. And it means squat if they don't kill the right toon because rg taunted. Or because rex tm fills st han.

100 team does not kill meta teams on offense.* And it still terrible on D. So u won't find much use for it when meta on shard turns to Wiggs and Rex with lando. Let alone the old EP meta which is due to come back with ShT. *Until u get better mods than that anway.

In the end, droids carry Wiggs and Rex's lunchpail. And they bend over and take it up the oil pipe from any noob team. If you have good enough mods on a droid team, you can beat anyone. If you have good enough mods on a Wiggs or Rex team, you can beat anyone AND defend strongly against anyone. If droids had any defense, they would still be viable. They don't.

The non-droid leaders in the top 10 on my shard are Wedge and EP, yet my last five finishes have been 1 - 2 - 1 - 3 - 1. Seems pretty viable to me. The Wedge teams have a dilemma on my shard. They can have a 4th or 5th that help with droids or EP teams, but not both. One of the Wiggs teams that I couldn't beat had Aayla as the non-tank 5th, and I couldn't beat it. However, EP renders her a liability. Rex is the only real menace left, but for some reason, the Rex team can't get past EP/Wiggs.

Look, each shard is a little different. The thing that could really upset the apple cart is the level increase. There's a whale on my shard that will be 85 in 1-2 weeks tops. Let's see where things are mid-December and then judge what's viable and what's not. For now, my comp is cooking, and I have the results that speak for themselves.

Keep believing.
