Taking chewie and threepio and r2 to relic 7 worth it?

So I absolutely love r2 and chewie and threepio. Their abilities to pass on stat boosts to allies of proper alignment and chewie's additional assists make for quite an onslaught. While my chewie and threepio are only 4 stars my r2 is currently at relic 5 seeing that I use it for my jedi training Rey squad and commander Luke team. Would it be worth the trouble to take both toons to relic 7 for maximum stat boosts for allies or not? It's been a while since I used either squad without r2 so I wouldn't know if there would be a noticable impact on their effectiveness.

    I don't know who you would take out of the lineup to put in both. Usually 3PAC would replace R2. You could in theory leave out 3PO, but I think he adds a lot more to a rebel team than R2 does. Maybe if it were GAC and you wanted 3PO with JTR, but I'm not sure I would do that.

    If you care about GAC and don't have a GL then absolutely no to taking them to r7, especially C3.

    These type of r7s are great addition to your roster after the 1-2 GL mark, but until then you'll just put yourself in a situation of facing more difficult opponents, potentially with GLs.

    If you only care about arena, then yes to Chewie and still no to C3 and R2. C3 does just fine at r0-3 and R2 has no place on a CLS team as long as you have at least a g11 3* Threepio&Chewie.

    R2D2 is a waste unless you are going for JML. Chew and 3bac are easily top tier characters in the game as they are great in a variety of teams.

    Relic level gains on R2D2 have a pretty low return on investment. He only gives a small percentage of each R level out to other characters and his damage output isn't worth mentioning at any relic level. The team effectiveness of R3 R2D2 is about the same as R7. Due to the damage output of Chew and 3bac, both are worth upgrading to R7.

    Oh sorry I meant the chewie and threepio single toon that was more recent not the 2 legendary event toons.

    Cool. Yeah at the moment he's not viable for high end combat but I do have him geared somewhat and level 85. I used him a few times in a commander Luke squad before where i could and thought he was a hell of a lot better than c3p0 who cant do damage period.

    Yes, R2's offense boost pales in comparison to 3po's all assist, defense down from 3 confused, and exposes. R2 is actually a good 5th on Mon Mothma if low star

    No imo. It won't allow you to win match ups you would lose otherwise in arena, it won't make a big difference in pve and it will hurt you in GAC.
    If you like them, my advice would be to go for GL Luke, you'll have to gear them anyway and you'll get something great in return, that will make a difference.
