What you think about droids after the UPDATE?

@Trollsbane ,

Awesome to see you can take #1 on a regular basis! :) I was wondering, can you beat General Kenobi Zeta Barris squads, or general kenobi, Chaze squads, or Maul zeta, EP, Vader/TFP squads? I used to run the old droid meta with 47(L), 88, 86, B2 and JE. Lately I can't beat those Kenobi squads anymore.

Thx!

Those are some of the toughest teams right now but droids (HK47, IG88, B2, K2SO, Jawa Engineer) can still compete with them with the right strategy and a little bit of RNG.

For the Kenobi/Bariss teams you want to focus down Kenobi first while using K2S0 to apply daze on your biggest threats to prevent them from assist attacks. After Kenobi is down it can help to Daze Bariss to prevent her turnmeter gain from her unique zeta. Be careful of using K2SO's offense down debuff too much on too many enemies since Kenobi can change these all to offense up. I generally use B2s aoe dispell/buff block every time it is off cooldown to hopefully keep the enemy buffs in check. With B2s turnmeter gain and HK47 lead B2 should be attacking very often. I generally save Bariss for last once the bigger damage threats are gone. This is a tough fight but not impossible.

Kenobi/Chaze squads I find a little easier than the Kenobi/Bariss squads. B2 is key here and you want to keep the aoe dispell/buff block going as much as possible. I try to down Kenobi first but if I see an opportunity to take out Chirrut I will take him out. K2SO needs to Daze Chirrut/Baze to prevent their counter-attacks.

For Maul teams you will want to take out EP asap and Maul next. K2SO daze on Maul and then Tie Fighter Pilot. Spread offense down around with K2SO as much as possible. With droids you should be able to keep stealth in check with B2 and hopefully get buff block on most of the enemy.

All of these teams are very dangerous but droids can be competitive against them.

Thx for your elaborated reply! It's helpfull and motivating lol. I think it's time to replace my ig-86 with K2SO then :) Currently I just don't stand a chance against zeta barris Kenobi squads. I have modded each droid with a lot of speed, so that should not be the problem (JE +92, B2 +67, ig-88 +67, ig86 +82, HK-47 +71). All my droids go in a random order after JE his turn meter up, so there's always some RNG in play :blush:

When you explain the turn order, K2SO really starts to shine. I see now that daze works good against Barris, Maul and Chaze. It might take a while before I geared up K2SO. I will let you know how it goes! :) One more question, how much potency does you K2SO have in total?


@Krillion , wow, your arena ranking is amazing! Wiggs will never fully disappear. In my arena shard they are combined with Kenobi and Chaze. I will have a detailed look at your profile and see if I can copy a thing or 2 :p
