Poggle or HK-47 as leader in a droid squad?

Searched for this in the forums but didn't come up with anything. My squad is:
- 6* IG-86
- 6* IG-88
- 5* IG-100
- 4* HK-47
- 4* Poggle

All max level and gear level 6-7. I just got HK and Poggle - wondering whose leader ability is better and which to upgrade. I'm leaning toward HK because of the 30% crit chance and turn meter bonus but Poggle would be exempt as he's not a droid.

Also, if anyone has experience running this type of squad and can comment on the viability of running no healers/taunts in PVP that would be great. I have a few good characters to sub in if needed:
- 6* Fives (probably my best overall character)
- 5* Sidious
- 5* Consular
- Luminara, Cad Bane, Vader, etc.

Cheers!
  • Yeah, I would go with HK for the crit bonus. Haven used 100 so don't know about him. Used Geonosian Soldier for the first time today with my droid squad and it worked pretty good. Just need to star him up some.

    Gonna try Poe for my last battle to set up a defense.

    Lobot might be another good option. Got my first shard for him today from a bronzium, yay.
  • Great advice I'll do that thanks. I have Poe at 4* gear level 6, he's great. I'm going to finish getting Fives to 6 stars in Cantina and go for Poe after that, maybe try him in PVP like you say. Very intrigued by Poe's expose ability (once levelled up) in combination with the AOE damage potential from the droids.

    My question then would be - I have Luminara at 3* (gear level 7) and Poggle at 4*... should I focus on Luminara with GW tokens to get her high enough to sub in for IG-100? Or keep going with Poggle? I know how good Luminara is, I have several allies with her at 7*. I mainly haven't levelled her up because everyone has her - I was bored facing her in every PVP/GW match. Cheers!

    I have poe at 4* and I he's good right there. Tbh he's great but I just got boba and I'm staring him up right now over poe. Still poem taunt is great for making my tie pilot survive
