What do you think about K2SO's viability?

Initially, I didn't rate K-2 very highly at all. His kit seemed much less complex than the other new characters, and he didn't seem to have a solid place in Rebel or Droid teams.

After playing him, though, I've switched. He's my favourite tank right now, and it's pretty obvious why he feels so strong. He's pretty much immune to dispels. If you don't put buff-immunity on him, he's gonna be almost permanently taunting until he dies. And it's gonna take a while for that to happen, because he gets really tanky, really fast once you get some gear on him.

While I doubt he'd be useful in the top-tier battles where everyone is perma-debuffed, at my rank he's pretty much impossible to get out of the way. For a guy with some very squishy IG droids to protect, that's just perfect.

Plus, he's got some great animations.

EDIT: forgot to mention, he loses a lot of usefulness if the enemy team has multiple counter-attackers. If your team use AOE, the counters will hit K-2 and he won't be able to counter and gain his taunt back.

I have a guildmate who runs him on a Wiggdo team next to STH for dual tanking. He makes it into the teens each day and doesn't fall below 30.

Just popped him to gear XI and played a match against a tough opponent with a B2. I managed to get an early daze on B2 and as no-one else was buffed on my team for this B2's first shot, I stopped his buff-immunity for a long time.

Relevant stats at Gear XI, with mods:
Power 9657 (my second-highest after HK!)
Health 31227 (5570)
Protection 32142 (3503)
Speed 153 (30)
Potency 63.07% (29.07%)

He's a real tar pit. Even with no other buff on him and a buff block apllied to him, he's proving very troublesome. The reason the groids do so well is because they can weather the opening storm and then slowly pick away at the enemy. As each one of them falls, there's one less hindrance to the squad e.g. the buff blocker dies, K taunts ad infinitum; 100 starts to catch a few hits and counter back, K's daze starts to nullify TM gains from B2/JKA/Biggs/Vader etc...

Very promising. (",)

I'm using K-2SO in the current Emperor event. So far he does well with his taunt and counter (6* gear 8).

I used mine for the Emperor's Demise as well. Sadly, that may be his greatest contribution as I'm moving on from my droid team. Mine is 7*/G8, but I have a large backlog for stun cuffs, and he doesn't seem like the most worthy candidate.

I love your whole groids idea tbh. Will take me a while to get there (if ever) but I'll sure try something similar myself. Thanks for sharing.

You're very welcome... and Merry Christmas to all you metalheads.

Remember, a droid's not just for Christmas. Gear him up and he'll last you a lifetime (or in the case of Threepio, about 6 lifetimes). (",)

Or, in the case of HK, a few thousand years.

With Cassian, he gets tenacity up at the start of battle which protects against debuffs (aside from B2). Chirrut can also cleanse his debuffs or refresh his tenacity up, as well as allow him to gain a heal over time every time he gets hit by a crit. So paired with those 2, he's very viable. I'm currently running Wiggs+Chaze+K2 in Arena until my Cassian is ready.

EA !! Are you favouriting android users over apple users ? .. if the answer is no then give apple users the rogue one droid K-S20 .. I shouldn't be feeling left out because of the phone I used to download YOUR game .. and can you tel me why apple users were not given an alternative character ? .. also what amount of money are you trying to swindle from me ?? I'm a paying player and I have spent over 100 pound at least on your game .. I multi simed a 17battle sim on the canteena battle for wedge antilies and got 1 shard ??? **** that is a joke tbh . 1 in 17 battles get you a shard do they ??? Do I need to do the maths for you ?? Wedge would cost me over 200 pounds at least at that rate ( absolute joke ) please will you get on top of these flaws .. and make ALL characters ( (bar the event characters and limited time characters )) farmable through the canteena ... paying players should have the ability to gain the shards they need and not be messed about by your current way of obtaining player shards .. hope you take this into account as paying customers are your income .

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... someone cared about your rant.

There's plenty of whining threads, and even a mega-thread, that you can use to post your misinformed rage, so kindly vacate this one so people can discuss K's viability (y'know, like it says in the title).

Also, choke on something.

K-2SO is a good character when played well. He can be frustrating and annoying most of the time since he taunts randomly when he attacks even if he has very low health, resulting in him getting killed frequently. Otherwise, he could be very useful in the Arena. He can be annoying to opponents considering that he always taunts when he attacks, making him a good defender for the team. Plus, he also counters and his special ability can be handy against opponents. However, he doesn't have the best health that he can offer so you must manage him carefully. I recommend you not to upgrade his Enforcer ability because that's where he is excellent at getting himself killed.
