The Galactic Jawa Players Discussion

It's what they lack as a squad and considering how little health they have, you don't have much chance to take out dangerous toons that are hiding behind tanks. St han is just a death trap to them. The can't kill him quick enough and while they are stuck on him they are getting raped by anakin, palp, lando, wedge biggs and rey. Droids beat them easily if they bring nebit along.

Thanks @Opu. Sounds like you've put alot into modding them. I'm just about to gr 10 scavenger. Hoping he is the missing piece.

It seems like Scav is what is holding back my Jawas at G8. It also sounds like I need to put in some time modding them after I finish up Lando and B2 in cantina.

I'm finding it to be the opposite and Scavenger is one of the more important Jawas. Line In The Sand is in my opinion the second most important skill out of the 5 Jawas. Scrap bomb is probably the third most important. His basic makes enemy Rey useless and really softened the impact of someone like Jedi Knight Anakin. He's pretty squishy, but gets stealth on crit.

Of course, that's all just my opinion and isn't fact!

Apart from outspeeding JE I don't think jawa stand a chance vs droids.

I struggle with mine vs anything with st han. Even RG is a pain. They don't put out enough damage and have no health. It's difficult because as a squad they are missing a dispel and cleanser, they should give dathcha a dispel on his basic or special.

Hey George,

So everyone here has been modding JS for crit chance to get perma-stealth, but with nebit's lead he usually crits with just 2 5-dot crit chance mods. If you wanna get around any tanks (especially RG) just put 4 potency mods on JS. I usually have no difficulties picking off a rey/leia/GS hiding behind RG using "line in the sand" from JS. My advice would be to call nebit's assist in before his taunt, then rely on JS bombs on high damagers. Sponge the first turn from other team after assist and then pop taunt. ST han can be a bit more challenging, gotta hope that RNG gives you the ability block/stun from dathcha/jawa's AOEs.

AOE damagers like Lando get utterly destroyed by crit chance down from nebit, dathcha AOE ability block, +4 bombs from JS every time.

To be honest, considering 4 are maxed, they just melt vs faster droids.... Just comes down to a speed mod race on JE... Might as well play the droid squad, they are not the counter to droids.

If you really want to go anti-droid, going all-jawa doesn't make sense since not every character gets bonuses against droids. Obviously the synergies between the Jawas are good and if you're going to use a healer or tank, then Nebit and/or JE make sense, but B2 is also a great tank, and so are others. Also, I'm not convinced a healer is 100% necessary, not when you could add Ugnaught or Palpatine to the lineup for a 3rd or even 4th AoE stun.

You can also add Ima Gun Di against droids, though IMO he's not as good of an option as others.

I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not convinced that an all-Jawa team is the "ultimate" counter to droids, though they are certainly strong against them. Fortunately, they have lots of synergies with plenty of other characters, so there are plenty of other options to experiment with.

Not convinced... They seem to do terribly bad vs every meta squad. I'll finish them off but I'm extremely dissapointed with them. Think I'll be quitting the game once they are done. I said I'd do them as a final project but deep down knew all along they wouldn't be the answer to droids. There is no answer hence why I've had enough. Zero balance or strategy involved with the game. It's tiring.

So I've seen multiple mentions to Nute/jawa hybrid teams. Iv got the jawas maxed and a 5* nute, just wondering if anyone has put the Nute lead into practice with our little jawa pals?

I was thinking Nute (L), Leia, Dathcha. With the last two slots I was thinking a tank (RG/ST Han) and another self-stealther such as JS or Teebo.

As an alternative to this team maybe Nute (L), Nebit (for assist-stealth + taunt), JS, JE (for TM gain) and Dathcha. So essentially replacing original jawa with Nute lead.

Any recommendations? If someone has a vid of a stealth team I'd love you forever.
