Sep Droids, are they worth the grind?

We all, even long term players like myself, have multiple toons we want to or need to grind to gear and star. The separatist droids (grevious, IG-100, B2, B1 and Droideka) in my opinion seem rather poor faction/team with very little use in any game mode.

Maybe I’m wrong? and this is why I’m posting,so can hear other thoughts and experiences.

My B2 is already gear 11, 7 star as he has some use other than that doesn’t seem like others are worth it or necessary?

I just don’t want to waste resources on a faction that’s not much use. I’m not really interested in them so wouldn’t farm for fun only viability.

Thanks for any constructive feedback you can give

    Thanks for feedback everyone, much appreciated.

    Seems like the team is a real gear grind and needs toons from other factions like bb8, L3 and T3. So not a separatist team more a droid team?

    Am I right saying that manga guard is definetely not worth the effort? but grevious may be with right support and when B1 and Droideka shards become farmable?

    Yeah, Magnaguard is a weak link in the team that can be replaced, which is convenient, because he is the hardest to gear of all of the droids.
  • 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.

  • 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.

    Ive been wanting to make a droid team badly for some reason. I have GG, B2, bb8, and T3 at 7 stars and decent gear. After reading the posts above I wonder if grinding out just B1 would be worth it. My main focus now is DR, but once B1 is farmable I might go for it. Not having to do droideka and magnagaurd is a relief.


    I'm doing the same thing, casually gearing and farming grievous from 6 to 7* while waiting for b1(and droideka) to become farmeable. Hopefully I'll end up with a decent seperatist b-team around the time I unlock DR next time he comes around. Will be nice to have a JKR counter seeing as it'll be ages before I ever get JKR myself.

  • Every time I nuke a DR or wipe out a JKR team, its REALLY satisfying. Just saying :wink:
  • If you cannot take top 10 in your squad and fleet arena then you should be going all in on Separatists to be able to join a great guild getting tons of stars in Geo TB. You can get crystals that way. So are they worth it? You bet
