I actually came on here to post asking advice for droids, @InstantDoneWithYou... but instead of starting my new post just yet, I might as well capitalize on your offer.I'd like to try droids out! But we're talking two kinds of teams here:In TW/TB when R2 is on my Rebel team, BB8 is on my Resistance team, and Chopper is with the Rebels... I'd run HK Lead, B2 Super Battle Droid, T3-M4, Probe Droid, and... (choices are: IG-86, Magnaguard, or K-2SO)?But if I decided to go Arena, I'd run HK Lead, R2, BB8, Chopper, and... (choices are Probe Droid, T3-M4, or Super Battle Droid)?What do you think the best composition for these teams are?PS: No, I'm not a whale, LOL. I'd just gear up T3-M4 and my Probe Droid as high as I can despite the fact that they're still 4-star.

HK will be replaced eventually. I’ve been running droids for about a month with an HK lead. The lead ability is great. Everything else about him is meh. If he actually did any significant damage in any of his attacks I might be more enamoured with him. I’ve been running HK, zIPD, zIG88, zzBB8 and zzR2 with good success vs certain teams. This team can eat Empire teams sans Treya. It struggles vs CLS teams. I’m on IOS so I’m just getting T3 ready. I have L3 zeta’d and at G11(5*) but I haven’t found a place for her yet. I see great things with droids ahead.

"HK666;c-1620508" wrote:@SamuraiUX plenty of questions about shard age and all that junk are relevant. If you're shard is new and everyone is level 40, you'll fight way different teams then a launch shard. A team may be viable at that level that isn't at max level, and there are characters that can't be farmed at such a low level.That's a fair point, @HK666... I guess I get tired of coming on here, full of enthusiasm and cheeriness, and getting a bunch of surly trolls saying stuff like "show me your gg or stop talking" and "my shard is bigger than your shard," LOL. I'm very easygoing and like to have fun with this game. I'm actually reasonably strong in the game but I don't see the need to run down newer people or people who I think haven't 'asked their question right.' Sometimes I'll see someone asking what I think to be a dumb question or they'll ask in an unproductive way and you know what I do? I pass right on by... if I've got nothing to say, I say nothing.

The Return Of The Droids Hk-47 Lead Is Back!!

The problem is BB8 has better use elsewhere, and depending on the situation, L3 may too. This is more of a mess around team. Now, I've been using it too, it's fun, but not exactly best. Maybe if you've got BB but no JTR.

AOE daze stops this team entirely, with L3 to dispel slowly, one member at a time

I really like using this team because it's fun and has some of my fav units, but most of the time their are better options. Maybe if HK gets reworked this team will get somewhere

@SamuraiUX I'd go IG 86. More assists means more tm. Also there is damage, breaking foresight...

I like Finn Lead for resistance JTR can be under him Zinn Lead, Poe, Zeta JTR, Zeta R2-D2 & Zidious Also by the time u get in ur aoe daze the droid team would have taken 3 turns and that is almost certainly game over

Until you meet Nest. While, you might be able to stun/ability block, droids will struggle big time on taking her down. Or JTR. Or Palp teams. Or teams that can counter.

This simply isn’t true.

@Damodamo Lol i didnt say they were meta bit this driod team will do well i remeber talking about how good Vandor Chewy is & people disagreed until the game changers said so once u have in depth understanding of how toons synergize you can come up with theories that work ive been playing since 2015 stalled for 7mnths when i fell sick but my aim is to provide alternate teams for those who get bored of status quo anyways you like trolling me & until the is real time pvp you cant say your better than any one just know that my skills on TW defense unrivaled thats where diversity & strategy really work in this game. Also try to use the team mentioned before you troll.

@InstantDoneWithYou I don’t troll, I simply ask you to back up claims as to how good a team is or isn’t. You haven’t as yet provided a link to your roster, simply to provide context as to whether your speaking from experience or whether it’s an on paper exercise.
If that is trolling by your definition then please try and widen your understanding of what the word means.
I have messaged @SamuraiUX to clear up any misunderstanding.
As to you saying that I think I’m better than you/anyone, that is unfair and not what I said. I would like to know about your shard/roster/guild as sweeping statements about tw defense records is lovely, but anyone can say they never lose, but without context your talking kitten.

Droids are notoriously weak. The only reason they work is they go first and go fast.

That means HK lead and either bb8 or Jawa Engineer. If your bb8 is spoken for elsewhere, then JE is needed.

B2 ,IPD, and T3 is overkill. Don't need 3 AoE buff wipers. Since B2 hits like a feather, just leave him out. IPD is who most droid users in arena are removing for T3.

I ran droids in arena staying top 20 until CLS came out. The team I used was HK JE, 88, B2, K2. I couldn't make those top ranks with the OG droid team, had to replace 86, so of your options for a 5th, K2 is the best option.

So HK, T3, K2, 86, JE is certainly the best comp for your non-arena/non-raid droid team (out of who you have listed, have available. I added in JE because they just won't be any good without him or BB8).

@Damodamo Am Not even in the guild anymore plus they lost at 16 straight wins due to mismatching with way stronger guilds it always seems like your attacking me tine after time i dont need to show anything it's not a competition just because someone has a wonderful roster doesnt mean they know how to use them lol ive seen many like that Driods are a lesser used faction and what i bring is diversity if am not making sense to you tell me why they Nerfed Scariff Rebel Pathfinder two days after I posted him as an alternate to nightsister zombie in a Nightsister team effectively creating two nightsister hybrid teams that happened cause it worked so they had to nerfed ot was a very targeted nerf only for Scariff he is the only toon that doesn't gain buffs when he revives under old daka imagine it just demoralizing. You cone up with something good they nerf it. No hard feelings though.

@Damodamo

I believe almost all (if not all) of their theory crafting is on paper and not based on any experience.

OP - the reason many people have this and similar questions about your experience and roster is that theory crafting for arena teams has to take into account the AI. Not having used a team or most of the members usually leads to an inflated reliance on synergy that is not always practical.

There have been many teams over time that could win against some powerful metas, but the AI was junk and would cause you to lose and/or be targeted at a higher rate. Winning on O is not the meta, the meta is holding on D, and unfortunately that is heavily reliant on the AI.

@Kyno Big man its not always about meta but there are some people who love diversity also some people have these teams i suggest and dont know how to combine them. Its about giving a competitive edge to those who don't have a flamboyant roster

I don't use droids in arena. For TW I prefer to use on offense so I can pick the opponent. I'm using B2 and JE since the aren't used elsewhere. They do well against the right team, consistently able to take out stronger teams that don't have too many zetas. Arena would be another matter entirely, OPs team seems pretty good to start with. Maybe ipd instead of t3?

I understand, the point I was trying to make is that even though they look "competitive" on paper, they may not be and you can only flesh out these ideas with practice.

As I said, there have been many teams over the years that were not meta and could make short work of the meta, but fell flat due to the AI control.

Competitive is not about winning on offense, it's about maximum net payout, at the least amount of effort.

That's possible too, but not that new of an idea and not as effective. T3 brings far more to the table than IPD does. If I was going to replace someone with IPD in that comp, it would probably be L3-37 to attain maximum target lock synergy.

In reality though, I'd replace L3 with R2. My zetad L3 is only 3 stars but max skills and 1 piece from G12. So far I'm not impressed.

L3 works great on scoundrel team. I have not tried her with droids yet.
