I fought a guy that had a 4* JE fully geared... 5100 power... Finished 4th in the arena. HK47 lead, 86,88, poggle and JE

Poggle and JE in the same team? THE CRINGE. JE is a better poggle it's so pointless using both this triggers me so hard.

I post this here as fellow JE enthusiasts will understand exactly what I'm getting at.

You clearly don't know how to use him. He can heal and revive and his bombs hit hard he's more useful then you make him out to be.

The right way to use his bombs is to ether spread them out for ig88 passive or to use on characters that you would rather not attack such as counter characters/savage etc. It can all so be used to soften up tanky characters so once you move on to them it won't take as much damage to kill.

That just goes to show that you've never used him.

AI always targets him first now because of his low health pool and he falls in two shots max with moat teams. How many times does another droid die before he does? Never, that's how many times it's been for me.

After the first round, it's essentially 4v5 because JE's health is so low and his basic is terrible. He contributes next-to-nothing after that.

As for spreading out bombs, have you actually used him? What good does spreading out bombs do, other than spreading out Turn Meter / Offense Up between the whole group each time they dodge? The *ONLY* thing JE's basic has going for it is that you can try to hit Dooku / Fives, etc. without counter.

Why is it bad to have JE and Poggle? JE does his TM boost at the beginning. Poggle gives speed up for 3 turns after the TM boost. I'm not sure why that's bad.

You have two chars that don't synergize with each other. They buff three droids, but not each other. If Poggle went before the droids, it would be a totally different story. It'd make up for the lack of synergy with an even crazier head start.

Sounds like your JE is trash try gearing him up my droids and or Poe normally die before him. And I don't do the spread out tactic I prefer spaming it on tanky characters and/or characters you don't want to attack normally he's a god send vs fives who I run into alot. All so if you time the bombs right you can finish off a low HP character with out wasting a attack.

Thanks for the laugh buddy saying I never used him is very funny. I clearly know how to use him much better then you or yours is not geared up. My JE is 5* gear 9 level 80 and does good in arena just keep practicing you will figure him out.

Poe... Spamming... Timing? That makes sense, now.

My JE is G9 and 6*. When you get above 200 in arena, you'll start running into dodge leads and you'll figure it all out. Then you'll get rid of your Poe lead (because he doesn't work in high ranks) and you'll start seeing the top contenders and understand what the rest of us are talking about.

Agree that some of us that use JE don't like how he's built or don't... But talking smack at others on the forum accomplishes nothing.

My ajar is 5* gear 9 and rately gets targeted by defense AI. His heal and Rez is indispensable in most of my battles as he uses it least twice as well as his buff.

As for his attack, as others have stated you can use it as a debuff for 88 to increase his damage and/or place it on toons you don't want to hit because of counters or buffs (Dooku/savage). When they go off they do good damage.

The point of all of this was to see if I should delay 7* to work on gear, and it appears as though I should.

Once I craft one more Nubian scanner I'm gonna start working on JE. My question to you @UlicQ is how long did it take you to get him activated after you started working on him? Thanks in advance good sir.

Cap, i think it took me about a week or so (maybe a little less) to activate. I checked the shipment box each reset and bought shards everytime he appeared.

I'm assuming by Poe lead you just mean Poe but anyway Poe is my best tank right now till I can get RG going and I find it funny how you keep assuming things because I'm siting at #18 right now as im typing this.

Folks, I just 7*d, maxed, gear9'd, and Omega'd JE's basic.

If you want a demonstration just search YouTube for 'H bomb test'.

His basic bond does 8k+. You can put two on a character in their same turn usually, because of his speed. That's HUGE damage. The trick is choosing your targets correctly. You want to debuff Rey. You want to spread out bombs to act as debuffs for IG88. You want to toss them on the highest health, slowest, or countering characters.


That seventh star is huge for his damage boost. Also it keeps AI from targeting him constsntly. Now they're after HK and 88 again like I want them to. He gets to gear 9 w

Sure thing skip. We will waste time trying to find your esoteric video called "H-bomb" test which probably has a million results of actual h-bomb test, or you could have linked the video. What a lying weirdo you are. You're right though his basic does 20k damage a turn on people, you secretly have the most powerful character of all time, everyone else is wrong.

Why would you ever stop at 6 star that's idiotic. Do you realize how many extra hits he would give you in raids. I run hk omega lead ig88 ig86 JE /RG/ Magmaguard /jawa in arena sometimes change ig88 omega lead for a dot brigade finish top 10 daily in a shard we started in November . My JE is going on 6 star and can't wait to use him in heroic raid. I can get almost 300k in phase2 and 3 now without JE but when he's usable that score will increase by 25 percent at least . Yea he hits low on his bombs but his utility is unmatched . Omega his special 45 tm for jawas and droids plus omega hk lead another 50 tm for crits do I have to say anything else. Finish Jawa engineer it will get you higher raid rewards which will help you progress in this game at a faster rate. This advice comes from a player who does 3 to 4 heroics a week and dreams of the day my Jawa engineer is complete.
