Let's Talk Jawas

I have a 35k squad for TW mop up. And by "mop up" I mean there's one wounded toon left on the level of a Geonosian.

Lol right ^ took my jawas to gear 7/8 level 70 and beat tier 3 of mod challenge and haven't touched them since.

I use Jawa engineer and nebit in a classic droid squad in tw. The other three, I use in either a weak mop up squad in tw, or in an old Ben team leading tuskens and jawas in tw defense

I have them all at gear 10/11

GW?

2017 called, it wants its post back. :p

They're worth it just for the mods.

Detonators work well against Nihilus in STR phase 1 (tier 6 and below). You can split them up in two teams to make best use if them:

1 team with JE, a healer and 3 assist callers / TM swappers/givers. Always call JE to assist and always give him bonus TM.

1 team with the remaining 4 jawa under Luminara lead relying on jawa scavenger to put detonators on the opponents.

Jawas are also good in HAAT, decent in non heroic STR, should be useful in TW.
They have cool synergies with droids.
Definitely an F2P essential.

In what way are they good in HAAT? As a straight Jawa team, or some sort of combo situation?

Jawa Engineer and Nebit with HK leader and two hard-hitting droids for Team A, and the other three (Dathcha lead) plus two other characters with really strong basic attacks (Luke, Scavenger Rey, Greedo, etc) for Team B.

There are also situational teams, like Dathcha, Luke and Raid Han (and no one else, just those three) for p1. But those two teams listed above work well because they'll be getting assists all over the place.

I know you asked about HAAT, but I'll chime in with a Territory War suggestion as well: I run four droids plus Jawa Engineer (you could use BB-8 instead, but I find it more useful with Jedi Rey's team) on one team, and the other four with General Greivous on another. Neither team is unbeatable, but they're both tough outs and will often be underestimated by opponents and beat two or three moderate teams.

(Don't go all five jawas in one team, Engineer's abilities have better effects on droids than on jawas. Meanwhile, Chief Nebit's abilities shine with at least one droid on his team. So swapping Engineer for any droid will make two teams better.)

Yeah, I've long since 3*d the T3 mod challenge. I took Dathcha to 7* because I didn't have anything else to farm in the GW store anyway, and when I 7* my Raid Han, I'll run the Brotini team in HAAT. I also took Scav to 7 for the same reason, and Engineer because I'd like to use him with droids.

I've given up hope on Jawa. I took him to 5* and that's where he'll stay until I can find a use for him or start needing whatever gear is on his hard node.

Nebit, I'm sure I'll bring up to 7* just because of the droid team above, but I still have 2 more toons I want out of the squad store before I feel like I can get the last star on him.

Thanks again for those who replied. There were a couple of very useful suggestions in here that I hadn't though of or read elsewhere so thanks for the input!

Well, with the change to mod challenges, I think we can drop the reasons to ever farm a single shard for any of the jawas down to 0.

As outlined in some of the posts above, they can be used in some parts of the game, but finding a use for a toon you already have and going out and actively farming one are two very different things. I think we can all agree that the things we've discussed here and the areas of the game that we've been able to find roles for them can be done by other toons, and often in a far superior way.

I don't understand the change to the jawa mod challenge requirements from CG's perspective. Why create a game, 5 characters, build in faction synergies and a role only to eliminate the one reason people had for using them? We've created a product, now lets eliminate the market for it!

Hopefully they create some kind of Jawa event like they have for Ewoks, or make them the "other" faction in one of the existing (or upcoming) Assault Battles or something.
