General Grievous and His army (rework and kit ideas)

Just put a bunch of Rework and Kit Ideas together to create general picture of how I’d like grievous and his army of droids to look. I didn’t include any variations of droids, just the basic models. I also did not plug in Damage to all the droids like I did for Grievous. IG 100 Magna Guard is now an attacker instead of a tank but he still taunts if the General falls to 25% health.
Ideas I’ve typed up:
1. General Grievous
Dark Side, Attacker, Droid, Separatist
Brutal Attacker that cuts down defensive enemies while granting buffs and bonuses to droids and separatist; although he hates being called a droid, he counts as one in combat.
2. IG 100 Magna Guard (Rework Idea)
Dark Side, Attacker, Droid, Separatist
Disruptive Droid Attacker that becomes deadly if ignored.
3. B1 Battle Droid (Kit Idea)
Dark Side, Attacker, Droid, Separatist
Droid Attacker with a high critical chance when among other droids, who is capable of removing turn meter from enemies and granting bonuses to droids and separatist.
4. B2 Super Battle Droid (Rework Idea)
Dark Side, Tank, Droid, Separatist
Droid Tank that relentlessly punishes enemies that evade attacks or damages allies.
5. Droideka (Kit Idea)
Dark Side, Tank, Droid, Separatist
A slow droid tank with extremely high and resilient protection, multi-attacks and counters.
Would still like to see these new separatist droids as well:
T-Series Tactical Droid: Support, Leadership synergy: Droids only
Buzz Driods: Support, also used as a debuff on ships
HMP Droid Gunship: Cargo Ship, Lead: T-Series Tactical Droid
Vulture Droid: Droid Ship, No Character needed, it is also a character for battles, not just a ship.
Hyena Driod: Droid Ship, No Character needed, it is also a character for battles, not just a ship

Not TOO overpowered, has good synergy and unique/ fun abilities with a ton of variety. I would gladly throw all my monies into the abyss to have this.
example: the damage stats
Thanks lol since you went ahead and brought this post to the top I also updated my grievous and changed droideka a bit.
I had already been reworking on them to see how I could make this a little better.
I also tried to make this easier to read by using spoilers.
Question: Power Energy Shields references that it recovers 40% Max protection, and then Design Flaw mentions that Droideka has 500% Max Protection as well. So does the 40% recovery recover 40% of the 500% or just 40% of base protection plus mods. Because I can see one being WAY too much and the other being not strong enough to use the ability for that reason.
Suggestion 1: You should add tenacity up for 2 turns for the Power Energy Shields. Not for all 4, but for 2 so that it feels more realistic (in regards to the movies) how they are incredibly durable to most attacks.
Suggestion 2: You should increase the damage taken by detonators to 200% more damage (as that was one of the only ways of taking them out in the clone wars), but in order to ensure that it is not then immediately destroyed by detonators, you should add that detonators only have a 25% chance of sticking (before potency/tenacity checks). I think this would play into the idea of the rebels on Onderon in the Clone Wars learning to take out droidekas by rolling detonators (EMPs in the show) into their shields. It would be kind of a cool reference to the show, as well as providing a way to defeat droidekas while making droidekas also hard to kill.
Just changed power energy shield to 25%. I did the math now and 100 + 500 = 600 max protection. So 25% of 600 is 150. It would regain 150% of its original protection. Sound good?
40% would be 240% of it original max protection
Just to throw another number out there, 30% would be 180% of his original protection. 20% is 120%.
I left detonator damage at 50% because I imagine Droideka to have lower then average health, and detonators Deal Damage to only health. With my bounty hunters team (Boba Fett lead, Zam, Greedo, Dengar and Cad Bane.) I stack 8 to 9 detonators, some times more. They are not even Zeta yet. So for that reason i didn’t touch the damage but I did include dentonator are more likely to stick.
