Nebit the Boss
I suspect few had saved up enough Arena credit to max out Nebit, but I can say I have *very high expectations* for his utility once he gets to 7 stars. He's the Missing Link for droid teams.
I ran HK(L), 88, 86, JE and RG before. Maxed and fully modded, did well in arena but recently have been having a tough time against some at the top. I decided to get my 3-star Nebit up to lvl 80, g8 and put in three 5-star mods. Swapped out RG, and it was...quite good! Not overwhelming, but this is a 3-star Nebit mind you. Once he's got much more protection and health from starring/gearing, and abilities omega'd (extending taunt, reducing assist cooldown) it'll be an insane combo.
JE was a great addition to the droid lineup, but with only one super-useful skill - basic is mostly no help, and heal is only meh in Arena. Nebit is *all good*. His basic does v little damage, but adds protection on most hits to a random ally - quite useful later on when you're whittled down. He not only taunts, but also reduces cooldowns at the same time(!) - timed right, can have rapid-fire AOEs, 86 assists, etc. Then, his second ability calls in *two* assists! No more 86 RNG despair when JE gets called - second droid is on the way! And even if JE gets called with his mostly-useless bomb, JE will go stealth - protecting your healer and TM monster!
For a while, there was a lot of divergence over who should be 5th in standard droid lineups. RG? St Han? B2? 100? GG? But I think Nebit, once maxed, is close to a dominant option. The downside of this, is even more cookie-cutter Droid teams and a bit less Arena diversity, though.
Admittedly this lineup hasn't fared so well on defense, but few teams do (including my old droid team).
