Reyia's Droids Helpline
Hey all. I've decided to make a helpline to help anyone who has questions about droids. I love droids so much that I have created a brand new account and played a droid team exclusively since that tim...

I'm maxing my droids just to toy around with comps. I mean I did way back when by the pack. I've been using maxed 86 on comps for a bit, love him.
Maybe our droid expert here can help with my droid issues/concerns. I've tested Max 88 and HK from Allies
My issues with droids are.....
1. Poe is no longer their protector he is too slow now. RG could fill in, but 88 is too easily 1 shot so he'd not activate
2. 88 is slow with very low survivibility. I can't tell you the last time he got an action against me. Unless he is on a team with Rey and another fast cannon, even then he almost never does.
3. HK does not do a lot of damage and is slow. To me he is a lower HP 5's with an AOE instead of assist and res instead of counter, so a Lesser 5's.
4. The team kills and dies by the IG's. If they die fast you lose. If they live you have a chance to do damage.
5. Finally defensively they are so easily picked apart. I actually target the droid build on the occasion he is higher than me after I've not fought overnight or during work because I know it is an easy win.
Now if the force favors them and the droids live to move then they can inflict pain and suffering very fast. I use them in GW towards the end. Presently I think of the 4 droids(did not include GG) 86 is really, to me, the only one really viable at high level arena.
If our droid expert @Reyia has any wisdom to share on this I would be all ears.

1. With the patch and speed working properly he's slow now with the rise of QGJ lead teams. If you have a sufficiently starred and geared RG you can use him instead.
2. You can replace IG88 by a hero of your choice.
3. Replace HK47 by GS.
4. The team that I propose kills enemy teams with IG86, GS, and a hero of your choice.
5. After the patch speed became the meta. It's very easy to win vs a droids team with QGJ as leader. I could kill droid teams in my main without any member dying. I play a droid team in my alt and I still get rank 1 rewards daily even with the rise of QGJ teams. It wouldn't matter what team you have anyways as AI plays badly. What you want to do with a droid team is active offense. Near prize giving time snipe your way to the top.
Proposed team: Poggle (leader), IG86, GS, RG, and hero of your choice.
Actually all droids are viable at high level arena but is very heavily influenced by the server you are on. There are many top arena players who just use the classic team of HK47, IG86, IG88, Poe, Poggle and rank top 10 consistently.
