Magnaguard - not worth gearing at all? what about after june 19 touch-up?

jayjonbeach

so i ve never farmed him but almost have him 7*, considering gearing him, but see virtually no one using him not even on a separatist team. Just to slow and too little damage? could he be worth it for a plug and play taunt for a c team, or not even?

Mephisto_style

I don't see his GG synergy as being powerful enough.

H_B0MBZ

I actually use him for my GG team only against nightsisters though. Or sometimes an odd tank in GA. He's really not to bad but as I remember the gear investment is very heavy. I'd hold off personally.

Tbirds01

Hold off, I have him at gear 12, and kinda regret it. He became awesome after his rework, just still not good enough. I do use him a lot however in GA on defense with my Grievous.

Is IG-100 not useful on sep team to get 7*padme?

I only got her at 5* this time so wondering if IG-100 will help when her event returns

CoastalJames

He's rubbish, sadly.

@Richfxxx I used him for tier seven, and he didn’t add much, but I completed it with him. His taunt helps a lot.

If you don’t have the new droids he’s useful to take the mark from GG instead of B2 so that B2 can live longer. If you have Droideka I assume you’d want it to go to Droideka instead.

He and sun fac are the only 2 taunting tank in seps, you will need him anyway, at least for now.

Actually, with GG everyone can taunt

CosmicJ

I maxed him (zeta and all).

Arena - no. But then hardly anyone runs seps in arena anyway. They are semi-effective against current arena meta but ig100 is not part of that team.

Tw - yes. Full sep droid team can beat a lot of tw teams if the player understands how to play them, and mods and gears them correctly.

GA - yes. As above.

Raids - not overly experienced with seps in raids (mainly because I'm not massively interested in the current raids anymore).

But thats on a sep droid team...for seps dooku and nute are now become a thing.

So mg got a new touch-up, thoughts? Seems the near constant taunt will b a pita for enemys ,not sure how much the stealth adds, is he stealthing himself too or no? If not that is useful, like againt revans mark

He's now back on track and due to the stealth ability it looks like he'll be integral to the pure sep droids setup as is.

JediMindTricks

Even though GGs last rework seemed meh....I continued working on my separatist droids. Yesterday I finished driodeka and B1 to 7* and geared them both to g12.

The stealth Magnguard gives to the team along with the instant taunts makes my working on them seem worth it.

I’m happy about the latest separatist droid rework.

Boba_The_Fetter

Insta win over JKR thanks to magnaguard. I'll take it

Legend91

previously: nearly useless
now: amazing
He's a must have now for your GG squad (and even useful as a simple retaunting char in any mixed team).

BrakirKY

Post-post-rework, he's now pretty awesome. The stealth at the start and (essentially) permeating because of counters are very, very nice. Build him for protection with 3x ten sets and a ten cross and hes hard as hell to take out with anything short of a meta team before grievous wrecks your team. I had him g12 before the latest rework and rarely used him, now he'll be on defense most likely.

Ruark_Icefire

He destroys JKR.

yeah just seen the video, those tweaks r huge against jkr, and gg leadership against cls. look like im gearing him

My GG is well modded and geared/ zetad. On the contrary to what everyone is saying it's not an instant win against JKR. My win % is around or close to 50% now unlike how it used to be. I can get into the top 50 if rng is good.

Ig100- g12 + 2 health g12 pieces
Spd +95
Armor 50.12
Resistance: 45.3
Health 30k
Protection 80k

Still dies after JKR mass assist. Like ****. Never even gets a turn. Droideka puts up his shield Bastila dispells it. My B2 has 106.2% potency still can't land a target lock and gets mass countered and dies with 80k Heath and protection. I mean just wow....

Dinotank46

Amazing now. I used to use him in GA for the seps. I will use him again because of the stealth

Three words: Critical Avoidance Arrow. Get it to g12 for maximum effect (30%).

Replace Droideka with zNute if you have him. I made this change and haven't lost to a JKR team yet. If Nute gets marked then he's going to die pretty quickly but then revives in stealth and GG gets his free turn. If Magnaguard gets marked then he should absorb the punishment enough to allow the others to win through. I have all T6 mods and only one G12 piece so my stats aren't as high (36k health, 70k prot. 47.34 armor, 38.91 resist). Not sure what is allowing my MGuard to survive so much better. His tenacity is at 61%, not sure if that makes a difference.

Also, my B2's potency is 119% and he can consistently land target lock on at least 2 targets every time he uses his special.

Lol I wasn't expecting good constructive criticism. Thank you guys! I will actually try out your suggestions.

Do Dooku and AV have any role in a GG arena team? or is all droids + Nute?

I would stick with droids and zNute. Just not enough synergy with those two to make it worth losing any of the others.
