HK or IG-88 !?

Mstrdrgn1012

Need to pick one of them.
Already got 86 and Magna Guard can be farmed from cantina, so I need one more.

Personally I prefer HK for nostalgia, but honestly, 88's leader ability seems greater, AND not limited to droids. (+10% crit for droids vs +14% crit for all).

So, is 88 really a better choice than HK for my droid leader?

Doga

Both, between you and me and anyone that reads this I think IG 88's leader crit ability is broken in that crits are greater that 59%

Mstrdrgn1012

Yeah but I don't want to split my arena points between the two. So just one for now.

88 fits into more teams

Mstrdrgn1012

Yeah that's what I figured, I'm going with 88.

HK gonna have to wait.

Doga

I almost have 88 to 6 stars and have level 8+ gear equipped. Can't wait to try him as lead in arena once he is finished in... A week? It'll put a target on my back so only going full bore for this one.

IG-88 has more versatility.

HK is better leader for droids but like others said 88 can lead other comps. 88 is also great in any team for its AOE. So if you plan to have 2 more droids in the comp (make total 3), I'd go with HK, otherwise, 88.

Already went with 88. But I'm worried 86,88,magna may be too squishy. I'll probably end up getting HK in the end anyway, since I wanted him from the start, but realized I need TONS of other toons before him.

Doga

The droid meta seems to be HK lead, 88, 86 GS and Poggle.

Having HK and having faced 88....88 all day

If, you're rushing out droids for event. 88 will enable 2 star battles sooner.
