Sep Droids, are they worth the grind?

Any team that isnt dead awesome in arena, and doesnt include at least 2 good pilots should be washed down the priority drain

The current consensus seems to be that they are pretty good and can beat meta teams if maxed out with BB8 thrown in, but won't hold on defense against said meta teams. So do with that what you will.

Here’s my 5 cents. I have a guy that makes it to the top 50-30 in arena with Grievous. He doesn’t use droideka or magnagaurd. He instead uses bb8 and T3. Ever since he started using that team he has yet to fall out of the top 50. And that’s with a 4 star gear 11 b1. I use them, and on offense can climb very easily, but defense is bad.

Short answer: No
Long answer: Heck no
They require such a large investment to even just be mediocre. Unless you have literally nothing else to do, they are not worth that much investment to just be a GA/TW team.

They are a huge investment and a somewhat niche team...

... but I’ve had very good success with them both in arena and other areas of the game

They have that feel of a faction that would be required for something...2 new marquees and hard to gear characters. Plus it just seems like we've got to get away from KoToR for a bit.

Jar Jar Binks confirmed.

Legendary Jar Jar binks confirmed.

I have GG team, and while it was hell to max it, at the end I don't regret. I can kill secondary Revan teams at TW with 100% success, and ability to take down 2 enemy Revan teams with my Revan and GG is invaluable . Yes, its hard to gear, and battles always RNG dependant, but actual gameplay is fun. When fully loaded Droideka one-shotting Yoda with full health and protection... When GG scoring 80+k hits with his 2-nd special... This team not for everyone, if you have good roster and want something different, go for GG. Best way to beat Revan team, at least for me, is to kill Yoda 3 times, first one to trigger savior, second time to force Joilee use ressurection, and third time just to be sure he is dead) Without Yoda, Joilee goes down very quickly.

GG is the beast) Don't listen to anyone who didn't max GG team, you will not see good results until GG will have 60+k health, and b2 and Droideka at least 3 g12 pieces of gear.

They’re solid in TW/GA, although not meta—at least if you go the mile and properly gear, mod, and zeta them (and they are resource hogs). Ultimately, worth it if you have nothing else more important to farm, but nothing to go out of your way over. Luxury team.

I'm going to be 100% honest with you. I went all in on GG and it was probably a very poor decision. I have the whole team maxed zetaed and g12+ out except b1 and droideka currently at 3*g11.

That being said GG team is super gear heavy. The team requires lots of highly sought after gear and in order to really preform well you NEED g12+.

It requires at least 5 zetas at minimum. That's including BB8.

Other than a good mid Def territory war team. I have had little success in Arena. I usually end up in top 100 but the highest I have been was rank 23. Consistency is key and against JKR it's a complete toss up.

Raids I have no use as 2 of the raids can be soloed with far easier toons to gear. The sith raid is tough I only use him for the last phase where he can get off 200k damage the best I have gotten was 400k. (Note this is without droideka or B1.)and before hk47s rework.

Territory battles I can't use him because b1/ droideka arnt high enough * count so it's useless atm.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
When B1 and Droideka become farmable I have no doubt I will stay in the top 50 in Arena because I have pretty good mods. And maybe he might become a good phase 4 sith team. Other than that he is a glorified mid TW team.

If you have DR, JKR and Traya and focus on TW then sure go for him. But if you don't have a good raid team or all 3 of the above mentioned characters don't invest into him.

I'm sorry to say this but he is just not worth the gear or farm. I really wanted him to succeed but because I invested in him I have fallen behind.

Learn from my mistakes.
