What is the best Droid Team?

Best arena droid team is HK L, 88, 86, 100, and JE, IMO.

For GW, I use HK L, 88, 86, 100, and poggle, until they fall apart. Then I sub in Poe if I can get another fight out of them. Then I salvage what is left. Keeping HK and 88, typically, and adding GS and my scrub healers.

I will retreat to keep 88 alive. 88 is awesome in the new GW with TM continuity.

Geonosians work with droids too, right?

Leia + Ackbar can lead to 189 for Leia so you need either Jawa Engineer at Gear X 153 speed or at Gear IX have to run Full Droid (Jawa) Squad for +50 speed. Otherwise you will not Start vs High Level Ackbar + Leia which can lead to a hard matchup.

Sure if your Jawa Engineer got 153 speed it is easier to play with one non Droid (Jawa) like RG.

I currently run HK, IG 88, 86, JE and St.Han and have to avoid to run into Ackbar or switch Han with IG 100 for a fight.

What are your thoughts on 100 vs. RG for your fifth spot to play the tank role? JE is already at 183 speed so don't need 100 to get up to 193 speed unless the opponent is also all droid + jawa, right?

I guess it depends on the team you're up against. But a lot of the time, RG is going to just stun a toon that is already going to be gimped by ability block or offense down, anyway, by HK and/or 88. And/or killed in the first round.

100's AOE will reduce TM on usually 2 or 3 toons, which is pretty decent when stacked on top of those other AOE's. Plus he counters AOE and has a chance to inflict O down.

RG might prevent you sliding more. I have no clue. I only selectively use my Droid team on offense, because it's not solid, yet.

Do you even have access to Jawa Engineer? That's a hard farm to 7-stars unless you're in a top-5 guild I would imagine. You're going to need a tank for that group or they'll get mowed down while you blast through their RG or ST Han or BOTH. You can run HK Lead, 88, 86, GS, and possibly Poe or RG.

You can farm JE until you get there but this is something attainable in the meantime.

JE is pretty viable at 5* (where I have him) or even 4*. All that changes with more stars is his HP and damage, and that's not why you're using him. His specials can be upgraded to omega even at 4*. I'm actually not even trying to farm him to 6* - instead using my guild coins now for gear. But you're right, if I ever wanted to run JE without RG I'd be dead in the water.

Maybe we have different definitions of viable. If I can't hit and maintain top-10 it's not viable to me. I guess it depends on how competitive you want to be.

I'm currently running a Droid team with HK Omega lead, gear 9, 88 gear 10, 86 gear 8, Poggle gear 10 and JE gear 9. All are lvl 80 and 7* except JE who is lvl 74 and 5*. Since I starting running this team in arena, I've finished #1 for f
4 straight days and I'm aiming for a fifth. I love this setup, so many crits and TM gain plus heals from JE.

You'll need a healer for GW, which is tough for a droid team since the healer with the best droid synergy, Jawa Engineer, doesn't heal frequently or significantly enough for GW. I'd say the best healing option for GW is one (or two) of the Jedi healers like Lumi or Bariss or JC. But none of them have any droid synergy. The team you laid out is a strong one for arena, where you want a quick punch, but not a great one for GW where you want a more sustained impact with a team that isn't down to half HP by node 5 or 6.

I finished GW today with my droid team:

HK L
86
88
JE
RG

They hit hard and fast enough that often they don't experience an HP grind down. Plus with JE speed, it feels like he can heal every third turn. Which is plenty often.
