K2-S0 under hk lead viable?

The main drawback is no AoE.
I walk thru the event with my droid team and K2 special hit 12k-16k and basic 4k-6k on crit and he gets crit allmost like any other of my droids.
That whitout mods and low level habilities

All android users got him for free

note that his counterattack % drops when debuffed.
I think you need to mod it full tenacity.

Otherwise, it looks like a decent Nebit replacement.
HK47 (L)
IG88 (or IG100 for a counter team ? )
K2SO
B2
JE

My question is when borrowing a gear 10 5star, lvl 1 abilities k2so, why does he hit harder than my max ability gear 10 7 star(almost 1) Ewoks?

Idk but if he hits that hard I'm getting rid of ig 86 for him.

That might be the best place for him to occupy

I used my droid team to play the event, but I don't think it is a good representation. I was able to auto all seven levels, and only on level 7 did anyone drop below green health. I also don't think the one that you borrow for the event is a true representation. They don't show any gear stats, he's unmodded, and his abilities are all level 1. It's like playing a dev account character.

On the bright side, he seems pretty easy to gear. Blue droid callers are a bit of a bottleneck, but he only needs 2 pieces of Rancor gear - compared to Boba Fett's 6.

So, he seems like a good character, and I plan to develop him to max gear and level. I figure if nothing else he will help with the level 9 light side hard battles...

As you can see above i posted my first breakdown over the new Droid: K-2S0

Conclusion was that space is tight and most slots are set in stone, so afterall you can only use 2 builds with him:

HK, JE, K-2S0 and 2x DPS Droids (IG88, IG86, Grievous or IG100 - most common solution would be IG88+86)
or
HK, JE, K-2S0, B2! and only one pure DPS Droid

The 2nd Teambuild would lead to some flexible solutions. Since IG88 is better than IG86 because he offers a devasting AoE, Ability Block and Basic with Heal.Immun. i think IG86 has to leave, because his assist is bad if he calls JE, B2 etc. which means if you stack a team without many heavy hitters IG86 is also less effectiv unless you have good RNG.

I also can see IG100 (if maxed, or at least Gear X) as an DPS Solution to go out with more or less 3 counterattacks (B2, K2, 100) which also lead into massiv HP/Prot and still the ability to Taunt as a protection for Jawa Engineer. Grievous would also be nice as a pure DPS Droid because K2 offers a very nice Taunt target for him.

I think most Droid Players (since Grievous is a pain to grind) will try:

HK, JE, K2, B2 and IG88

Since this build offers the important Dispel of B2, has a taunting Tank and still go first with some good hits (and 3 AoEs).

I compared the Event-Version with the stats from swgoh.gg it seams all is fine so the "ally K2" hits are correct (over 7k crits basic and 15k special on the last stage mobs!) which means that we have a lot of more power because the Event K2 unit has all abilities at level 1 (+30% more if you level the basic attack and +40% more for his special) and 0 mods (under HK lead he gets the classic droid stuff like +crit damage, +crit chance and +potency) so we talk about basic crits over 10k, special crits over 20k for a tank droid! And thanks to his taunt nobody can ignore him and his counterattack compared to IG100 that never was a target (even the AI ignored him...)

More than enough i think if you also count synergy under HK lead (more crits, more TM which is super good with counterattack - i knew it work since i played with IG100 at top5 arena) and synergy with Jawa Engineer, because he not only buffs the tank he can also repair him if he died.

Daze itself is also a super special, because it not only last 2 Turns, the ability itself has also a low 2 Turns CD which (look at IG86) is super short for Droids under HK lead, so can expect to daze a target like Fives/Biggs forever - which more or less is a joke because the high damage will kill the target soon enough. Daze someone like Biggs/Sun Fac/Anakin etc. is very good at top arena because exactly that toons are a pain in the ass if you fight them with droids - our Robots simply don't like counterattacks or stupid Full TM gain after attacks - so K-2S0 can prevent that nasty stuff and will not fall apart after some hits like the two common DPS droids.

Gaining a taunt every attack and losing it after damage is also nice against the AI because it will result into confusing attacks if you control your Team and the AI spread damage which maybe result into less dead IG88 and Jawa Engineer and the bulky B2 and HK can also soak up some damage here and there. Overall i like the new droid toy (nobody needs his human partner^^) and hope to enter the upcoming tournament with a full star K-2S0 and maybe at least Gear IX or X.

@MD_Geist , interesting set up! Could you let me know if it works out? :smile: Currently I run 47(L), 88, 86, B2 and JE. Perhaps K2 would perform better then ig86...
