Is K2—SO's zeta pointless without Jyn?

I'm still using droids in arena on my alt account — just for fun. I want to make sure that I'm not missing anything about K2's zeta in a droid team. Does he also heal 1% protection, whenever he gains max protection? I guess the answer is 'No' but I would just like to make sure. Does anybody know the answers for sure?
  • they are 2 seperate things going on...

    Jyn's Zeta leadership allows rebel ally to recover protection back when they gain a buff, while K-2SO's zeta allos him to gain max protection whenever he is damaged.

    Very powerful when you consider K-2 attacks and gains taunt (Recover protection) then is damaged (increased max protection / loses taunt), then counter attacks (Gains taught back most of the time - recover protection).
  • I'm aware of K2's synergy with Jyn. I'm interested in knowing about K2 without Jyn. In a droid team.

    (Yes, I know that droids are outdated for arena, but they are still fun and the main reason I created an alt account).

    You're right... sorry to go off topic there.

    Here is a great example of K-2SO on a droid team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUzUrfMnBp0
  • 88 and 86 don't have the survivability. Taunt does very little when your biggest hitters fall prey to OHKO.

    With a fast enough JE your K2 will move before any enemy unit (except maybe siths with sith assasdin under zMaul lead). It will prevent first round OHKO from Wiggs in the once popular Wiggs teams.

    And yes, I'm aware of the benefits from K2 in general. K2 replaced my g11 IG—86 already at g10 and it's clearly an improvement.

    Thank you for your responses and efforts, guys :—)

    However that still doesn't answer my question. I'm looking for insight specificaly in K2's zeta ability when not under a Jyn lead. Any insight here?
  • OK, I run a full Rogue One team so here is what I can tell you... What would be the point of increasing max protection if there is no way to recover it? If there is not a way to recover it, then increasing it during battle is basically useless. I would rather have use Cassian's Zeta instead of Jyn's... assuming that I was not interested in running full R1 squad.
