K2-S0 under hk lead viable?
Its a Droid..... I like droids.... But is it viable? Has a taunt which could come in handy.

The biggest issue is - what spot he takes!
HK-Lead is still the only viable one for Droids (looking at you Grievous...) so he is set in stone. Next step is, that you need Jawa Engineer because without him, your droids are dead before anyone moves. No way you can win the "speed war" with mods against other teams because droids have very low speed (ironically because with all the technical stuff they should have been better than most organic characters..) so even if you get a good grap at some nice mods, other teams like the common rebells are simply faster which means wiggs willl kill one droid and sth (if he is a thing after baze) will taunt etc. So you need Jawa Engineer to start - so the non-droid is set in stone and this is more or less a wasted slot because he is easy to kill, do not enough damage (delayed damage should be way higher) and his heal/rezz is "ok" but today's meta contain characters that come back on its own (Scariff Rebell, Boba and Jyrn bring back Rebells!).
That leave you with only 3 slots - 2 of them should be DPS (and that alone is a joke compared to current meta teams) which can be any combination of IG88, Grievous, IG86, IG100.
The last slot is "another" support slot, but here we have now: B2 (common solution), Nebit and the new K2-S0 (or another pure DPS Droid, but that doesnt work well at top arena).
If Droids take K2-S0 (which should be better as nebit, because he profits from HK and Engineer and Counterattack and Offense Down are strong - see IG100 - K2-S0 is more or less an upgrade to him), they will lose B2 and the ability to remove buffs which are popular now: Looking at Baze (and his partner...), Shore, Rex and Jedis with Zeta-QGJ etc.
Compare K2-S0 vs IG100
With Jawa Engineer he starts the game with a buff that leads to Taunt for 1 Turn which will catch any Wiggs Counterattack after your first AoE. But as i mentioned above - you have no Dispel without B2 and have to kill Shore/Baze before you get spicy targets which might be a bad situation to start.

- more or less the same HP/Protection so tanky enough!
- K2-S0 has a little weaker basic, but +10% to apply Offense Down (the real deal with Counterattack)
- IG100 AoE is "ok" but damage wise weak (looking at todays meta...) and K2-S0 offers a strong single punsh with Daze and Daze is a really cool debuff against a lot of things (Biggs, Anakin, Sun Fac, B2 etc.)
- Nearly 100% Counterattack for K2-S0 is way better compared to IG100 with only 55% on top you get taunt that will work on its own without CD so he will catch some attacks here and there
- afterall K2-S0 is the fastest (lol) Droid with 129 base Speed!
