If someone is using a gl vs gg I take that as an omicron well spent

You know, looking at this again, I’m not sure I like the way it looks. To me this is clearly meant to be used with Grievous since that team is full of droids that can inflict target lock, but I find that in and of itself to be a problem, because most of the teams used against grievous, or that “grievous nuke teams” are often used against from my experience, are teams that have some form of heavy percent max health damage, which bypasses defense. On top of that, is the fact that T3 is a light side droid, so even with the little bit of healing, grievous will still tear him to shreds with his unique ability relatively quickly enough for an enemy to either target T3 once the stealth is gone, and magnaguard is either defeated or prevented from taunting, or use an area or effect attack to take him out and completely nullify the omicron ability’s effects.

The Droid faction is my favorite faction, so I really like this, though it does make me wish more Droids outside of the Separatist Droids utilized Target Lock. Apart from T3 and the Separatist Droids, the only other Droid characters that can inflict Target Lock are Imperial Probe Droid and IG-88.

Grevious’s damage is based on health, so it should boost his damage.

This should be interesting with GG & Droids.
