I do not have JE yet, its on my list after I max out Luke. B2 is on my hit list after I max out 100. I like 100, he gets multiple crits on his AoE.

Lvl 66 droids V lvl 69 clones. Boba did revive twice, I should mention that I guess.

Dispel from b2 is life it's the best to take top 10.
And 100 is good but after a while he just doesn't hit hard enough. I've heard that hk,gg,88,b2,je....is the best but gg is a b**ch to get

Appreciate the advice brother. Its on my white board to put that suggested team together :)

Although having a faster than light sth may be cool with droids, it's far more realistic to use je. Just farm him, like everyone (f2p or p2p) did

Easier said than done.

I just reached #1 in Arena with HK (l), 88, 86, K-2S0, B2. Wouldn't happen everyday, but those mods are obviously important to get right. And also you'll need to be able to have the time to climb the ranks as the Droids aren't the team that will retain their position as you sleep. I've only been using an Arena Droid team since I started playing (before Guilds even existed) so they have never done me wrong tbh.

Awesome you reached #1 with that squad @Patokev ! :smiley:

How much speed does your squad have, if I may ask? Currently I'm struggeling to get into top 10 with 47(l), 88, 86, B2 and JE.

The team mentioned is the only team that works. They are still viable but loosing potency with new metas. I generally stay to 50 easy and currently top 20 in arena. Droids fully maxed.

This isnt entirely true, ive switched out IG-86 for K-2S0 at gear X and done a lot better than i was doing against Wiggs/Kenobi/Baze teams. His daze move is much stronger than it seems. It can make Biggs useless and B2 even more so. Ive been beating rank 1 much more consistently. 48,000 Wedge/biggs/boba/baza/STH teams. Kenobi here and there too.

He can eat a decent amount of damage as well with good gear. I didnt see him as being viable on the droids at first. But now i rely on him heavily.

I also run HK47, 88, B2, K-2SO, and Jawa Engineer all gear 11 and consistently rank 1st. At first glance K-2SO doesn't seem that great on paper but with high crit chance and potency mods he is a workhorse that adds a much needed taunt and Daze. The offense down debuff is just gravy.

Crit chance over Tenacity? I would think that his damage output is less important than keeping him clean of debuffs.

The crit chance mods are more for the turn meter gain from HK-47 lead than for damage. It goes something like this counter-attack -> crit -> +50% TM -> counter-attack -> crit -> +50% TM -> special attack -> Daze/crit -> +50% TM, etc...

With his taunt/counter-attack crits K2S0 attacks a ridiculous amount of times. More attacks means more Daze/offense down.

@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!
