What do you think about K2SO's viability?

Anyone plan on gearing him up and using him? He seems to be the rebels version of 5's.

p.s. I understand it sucks that apple didn't get him, but please... no more.

    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.


    He saved my Wiggs so many times when I've replaced RG by him. This crazy Kamikaze taunt is useful for my squad.
  • Hopefully one day he'll not be exclusive to Android and I'll be able to weigh in (Shard shop and RNG packs don't count)
  • I use droids as my main team for arena, always have (currently using HK, 88, K-2SO, B2, and Je). With K-2SO in my squad I'm pretty much guaranteed to beat Wiggs, even if 88 dies, and I probably have a 95% win rate right now against basically every team I fight (the other 5% is the Chaze teams I rarely attack, and almost always lose cause they are op as s*** in a rebel team). I get rank 1-3 every day, except nowadays rank 1 is usually a chaze team. K-2SO hard counters basically every high damage character in the game because he can take a beating, deal some back, and then reduce their damage for 2 turns. With his daze ability, Biggs isn't even a threat anymore so you can focus on wedge, palp, lando or anyone else you want. With HK lead K-2SO also gets 50% TM on a counter attack (assuming it's a crit) so he can get as much, or even more attacks than B2 so that means more offense down on enemies and more taunts on him to protect 88 and JE. The only problem with K-2SO is if Biggs resists his daze, then biggs will attack K-2SO, who will then counter, and then biggs hits K-2SO again, and the process repeats until either: K-2SO dies, doesn't get taunt, or doesn't land a crit on biggs. So all in all, K-2SO is extremely good in a droid team even if he gets buff immunity on him.
