Will IPD self-revive with this ability if it uses Self-Destruct? That blocks him reviving normally.

What? No.

It can be revived. That's not anything remotely similar to, "It automatically revives itself."

NOTE: responding to your interpretation of "can be revived". On the other hand, **while in TB and if there's another encounter after the encounter in which IPD dies**, then IPD auto revives at the beginning of the next wave.

You'll need a DarkSide toon with the ability to resurrect other toons in order to gain any benefit within the context of a single encounter. .

What people really need to consider with this one and any toon with a TB related omi, that at best you used this four times (or six times if you are still doing Hoth) a month max. One DS TB a month and either four or six phases where the toon is in one battle. By comparison, we are at what, four TW's a month? So TW omis are used four times a month, but they could make a huge difference on either offense or defense. GAC is a much bigger feature now. So three rounds a week for three weeks I believe, so 9 uses a month for those. Again a much bigger bang for your buck. They can easily get you through an offensive battle and can trip someone up on defense. Could be the difference between a win or a loss in either GAC or TW. At best, it gets you some more points in TB which may get the guild an extra star, but so could just gearing up a specific team.

Wow, really powerful. I wasn't planning on getting IPD and gearing him/her up but I'm totally gonna do it now.

People are saying this isn't a good ROI for an omicron ability and a character that isn't required for anything, but they could've made IPD's omicron specific to squad arena and have "unless a GL is present", so it could be worse!

Is there any other DS reviver than Daka?

It revives itself at the beginning of each wave.

Not the question, i was asking if there are any other DS revivers than Daka, not if IPD can revive itself.

Wat?

Wat is Seps only, though I guess he does technically count as a DS reviver. Not very useful here though.

Wat revives Seps or dark side droids…pretty sure IPD qualifies as a dark side droid.

Revive a random Separatist or Dark Side Droid ally at 100% Health and grant all allies Protection Over Time (30%) for 2 turns. Trigger the healing of all Heal Over Time buffs on allies and the damage of all Damage Over Time debuffs on enemies.

So he does. I guess I never read that that closely, and just always used it on Sep droids if it came up. Not often I run non-Sep DS droids.
