GG vs 88 for leader

RokToBer

I’m working on getting my GG to G13 and I’m wondering why most people are running IG88 lead on the droid death team. GG’s lead seems to read as a better leader ability. Are they running 88 for the extra crit chance? Or am I missing something

Running a different droid as the leader prevents GG from getting Fear, which will ruin your chances of beating Drevan/Malak

Not fear, deathmark.

Well that too I guess, my understanding is that both can ruin your team

Fear is bad, but Deathmark is the absolute worst. Whoever came up with that mechanic should suffer greatly

Ok... That makes sense. Thanks!

I'm actually curious myself as to why IG is picked over HK. I can't imagine he stays alive long enough to fill a contract, and even the contract as well as the dots serum worthless if you have CBM.

HK seems like he'd give more damage all around, plus there's the tm gain.

88 inflicts more debuffs, which means more damage for GG.

IG inflicts more debuffs and HK does better in a DRevan lineup. I don't have DRevan though and use IG to heal my Bossk team so HK leads the General against the meatbags for me

HK666

If you also have the IG zeta and manage to land target lock, it shuts down healing too.

But do debuffs matter if you have CBM anyway? Does IG-88 survive long enough to get anything off?

If BB8 is on the team, he loads everyone up with a ton of turn meter at the start of the match. Your whole team will get a turn before CBM hits, assuming you have a decent amount of speed.

If they get CBM off before you land debuffs you lose. Need them to drive up the GG damage.
