Which of R2's abilities will be better to zeta first?

Prev1
Title. They both look great in their own way. Combat analysis zeta synergizes greatly with chaze and GK (Chaze countering and GK giving retribution to the team).
Number crunch zeta however makes everyone on the team slightly beefier.
I feel like combat analysis is better after typing this out but I want to hear some other thoughts on it
Also, would dropping Rex from lead to add R2 and making GK or Nihilus lead work?

    The cleanse on Crit is the real deal.

    Yeah... a cleanse for half of the toons in the game is amazing... maybe the best zeta released so far

    Rex L, gk, Chirrut Baze, dn is still going to reign Supreme. No R2 needed.
  • Why is that Scuba? Because of Rex's TM gain for the team?

    What in that team is R2 going to replace? The team already beats zeta Maul lead sith so don't need the anti evasion help. The only small possibility of replacing some on that team with R2 would be Baze but that makes chirrut to fragile so still not really a great option. I just don't see R2 helping make that team better or making that team easier to beat.

    True, but not everyone has Chaze and GK. R2 is still a solid character and those zetas could really help out some other teams, especially in holding rank.

    Yeah, i was wondering on which to spend my zeta as well... I think i'll be going with crit cleanse as well, since i run Jedi and none of them will get GR tag... Let's see how it rolls!!

    I think it depends on what team you're running him in. Droid team the second zeta is better. Most droids are Dark Side... The Resistance team might need both, but they really need potency more than the rest do so they can focus on speed. For most teams the first one is probably the better choice.
  • Planning on trying zFinn,Poe,Rey,RT,R2D2 with zeta Number Crunch, sounds neat

    Yes, i guess if you run one or more toons that get the zeta bonus from R2, maybe it's a good idea to zeta that, but the crit cleanse for LS toons will probably be the most used zeta at starts since it gives the bonus to everyone, not just some specific faction...

    All i know is that he's useless under a Zaul lead, and not a good choice to teams that run mostly DS toons... He'll make the Rex/Gk/Chaze meta even worse lol... But i think he can work really nice under zQGJ... I hope i'm not wrong, i just started hoarding stun guns for this...
  • Gotta love the light side only tag. As if the light side needed more cleansers...

    All the jedi have the "Galactic Republic" tag on the sort tab for the characters so I think that would make him even better there

    In this case i think i'll zeta the GR tag bonus first, 10% offense for all team it's simply awesome...

    Agree he can probably help out, but if you have the characters to make the Rex L, gk, Chirrut, Baze, dn R2 is not going to help at all.

    Would Rex (L) Chaze DN and R2 be viable at the top of arena ? I'm considering switching my Zader Zidious Zihilus Boba TFP team to a Rex lead. I have him and DN maxed (obviously) and considering farming chaze now. Anywhere close to get Kenobi so that's not an option...

    Thanks for your input !

    You don't really need the crit cleanse if you run jedi. You have tenacity up for the majority of the fight so I think getting that zeta first would be a waste. It would help if B2 gets his dispell off but you have GK to cleanse, Number Crunch is where it's at. Combat Analysis would be decent if you were thinking of subbing out yoda for R2. The way I am planning on going is subbing out Aayla for R2 so number crunch's offense and stat boost will be a great addition to my Jedi.

    If anything it should be RZ-D2 for 1 zeta and RZ-DZ for 2.

    Yes, that's what i'll do. I'll be switching Aayla for R2 and putting the zeta in number crunch. I thought about zetaing crit cleanse before i realized all Jedi were GR tag, so yeah, i'm pretty much doing the same as you are. I'm never switching Yoda, EVER! Lol

    PS: Of course, i'm already hoarding zetas so i can put both zetas on him, in a Jedi team, his both zetas will be good. I can zeta one of them already, so i'm going with number crunch as well...

    @scuba what do you think about running R2 on a R1 squad in place of K2?

    Does anyone know how many zetas Artoo will require for each ability? I hope it's not like Yoda where he needs 60 total.

    It's 20 for each one... And Yoda also needs 40 total to zeta his 2 skills that require zetas o.O
