Is it worth putting resources into HK-47?

I have plans for a droid team in the future, but I am farming Lobot for leader he is 4* now. When he gets to 5-6* I might try my droid team. Maybe go Lobot Poggle GS 86 88 or poe. Might also drop GS and get Poe. Trying to see if Lobot droid speed boost might help save 88.

Hey not to be a jerk here but the point of a droid team is DPS. You use Lobot he speeds them but his damage is very weak. You then pull GS for Poe you lose far more DPS. Poggle buffs and is great, but his DPS is al;so not that much. 2.8-3.8 k Buffed, HK does a bit more plus speeds up your droids as leader. He is superior to Lobot as lead as all Lobot is, is speed boost. Lobot is also low HP. You then have a low HP team with lower DPS. I've tested Lobot leader and I find HK or Poggle to be vastly superior. HK lead plus Poggle boost gives the droids much better speed. Droids are about damage. Your build has only 2 that cause damage, and 88 will die before Poe taunts, depending on the build 88 and 86 will die. They die poes taunt is for nothing as slow Lobot and Poggle and Poe will not put out enough DPS to win.

No offense taken, Lobot for speed to get the dps out of 85 and 88 I also said maybe use Poe not use Poe. It's all good I don't think your a jerk I respect all opinions and I even change my own when I hear something that makes sense. However without a Daka I was trying to come up with a route to get something out of 88.

Lobot Poggle GS 86 88 is a ton of dps if it can stay alive. You could drop Poggle for Poe and keep dps also. I was throwing ideas out there. I am not convinced in HK 47 led droid team and have been thinking outside the box. There really isn't enough droids. HK 47 88 and 86, but keeping 88 alive is a problem I have been trying to fix. Also Lobot heals, all those red dots become heath

In my opinion Lobot's speed buff isn't as useful as HK or Poggle in arena. For example, IG-88 is the fastest out of him, HK, and 86. His max speed without a buff right now is 118, so with the +23 speed that Lobot leadership would provide he is only sitting at 141. At 141 he would still get beat by Rey, Dooku, GS, and QGJ with speed buff. Therefore he would still get one shot and now the rest of your team doesn't create turn meter off of crits or get the extra damage from Poggle.

There was an interesting thread posted a couple of weeks ago where a droid team built around HK leadership and assist callers could set off a chain reaction to get the droids moving faster. It would go something like GS calling a droid who would crit and then go immediately again. That team is the one that I see being most viable on defense seeing as your defense can only be improved using an RNG heavy team.
