Royal guard vs chewbacca

So I've noticed lots of players are using Royal guard now and I've been wondering if I should upgrade mine. However my chewbacca is already upgraded and they seem pretty similar on paper. They both have lots of health, kinda weak attack, taunt and self heal, but chewy can taunt when ever you choose as well as self heal. It seems like RG's main advantage is stun. Are there other advantages to RG or should I not waste all the time upgrading him and stick with chewy? Thanks for your input!

    RG taunts automatically when it's necessary, even if it's not his turn. This is a really great advantage, Chewie is not able to do.

    RG just doesn't need a turn to taunt. He does it whenever it's needed his turn or not

    I would recommend to start building and gearing your RG right away and then put him on your team as soon as he's ready.

    On a side note I've discovered the RG + Chewie combo to be pretty annoying the few times I encountered them in the arena. But then again there ARE ways to handle them.

    Furthermore: Don't stick with Chewie just because you've already invested credits and gear in him. If you're walking a wrong path, then turn around.

    Royal guars. That 80% stun is very nice. Can effectively lock down multiple team members if given assist.
