Is Ima Gun Di any good?

SlipperyBogle

I unlocked him in Bronzium pack but not sure if I should level him. Thoughts?

Yarzahn

In my book, no one is any good, unless you can promote to 6-7.

Which seems to be the only problem with Ima-Gun Di - promoting him takes ages.
He's useable at the moment, and the upcoming update should make him much better.

1) Three out of four abilities deal with defense up or down (including aoe defense buff) - which right now is almost useless, but next patch, if they do as promised and fix armor, it should become a meaningful buff/ debuff.

2) He has great health (along with a % recover mechanic), average speed and average damage.

3) He has a great leader ability on paper, especially with Aayla and Kit Fisto - unfortunately the counter based jedi are locked behind the chromium wall further decreasing his value. Even without those 2 in his team, he's a deterrent to aoe comps, as it's dangerous to aoe vs 5 possible counters.

If you are having trouble vs AoE, he is a godsend.
I am farming him.

Carth_Onassi1973

Yes

Ima gun di say yes

Predian

Yes

I find him fun to use.

You need a specific team to make him good : Ima Gun di (L), Aayla, Kit Fisto, Dooku + 1 other (Lumi if you want healer, or Kylo or fives if you want higher hp counters). With random jedi it's not that good.
Also keep in mind that stuns and effects from counter attacks don't last. I have my Ima Gun di at 6* and gear VIII and waiting for protection update to see if it's any worth to upgrade him further.

Nonemo

Yes

Di hits really hard for a Jedi. His regular and special attacks hit noticeably harder than Luminara, and he has very good HP. Everything we know so far indicates he will be useful in the future. But it's impossible to know for sure.

Timitock

Yes

Double damage vs Droids on basic is relevant.

HunterXJD

Yes

You can only level him up with chromium but theoretically he's pretty good.

This is not even remotely accurate.

Oh my bad. I was thinking of someone else.

Azraelrulez

Yes

I don't even know why I'm farming him. I don't spend on Chromiums and I've like 20 something only shards, lol! He also drops in Bronziums so here's to hoping I get one! He's my side project along with Eder.

The farm is long but not hard.

At least, that's what she said.

He's farmable in 5-A DS/ 7-C LS battles which are costly and take forever.

Except its not, Plo Koon has Dispel on basic.
Thanks for posting.

It appears people don't even know who Ima Gun Di is, lol.

I got him from a bronzium pack (I'm super lucky) and I upgraded him to 5 stars lvl 72 gear lvl 9. HE IS A BEAST. He has more health and deals more damage than most of my 7 star gear lvl 9 characters. Anyway, to answer your question, he is really good.

Gavstar

Yes

He better be good, taking forever to farm. Worst then Rey. Going to 7* him for Yoda challenge as I want all 5 jedis to smash Yoda on his AOE. Will even retreat the challenge to see it again and again. Just 100 shards to 7* though. Missed the last tier 6 Yoda challenge. The next event challenge will be awesome.

pipboy3009

Yes

Used him for about 2-3 months since I unlocked a 4* in bronzium pack , since then hes been my leader pretty much until I got lumi to 7*

@SlipperyBogle Here you go. It's a good read. Good info. Enjoy

ModeratusImperialis

Yes

He was one of my first heroes possibly from a Bronzium but maybe I bought him. Can't remember. But he was a 4* battle machine amongst my 2s and 3s. He does hit quite hard and I have a sneaky suspicion he might end up even better come the update which will then make me regret not farming him. I will come back to him one day. That much is for sure.

LMYYYKS

Yes and No.
Yes: He is good as a toon. Useful against droids and good as a Jedi Leader.
No. Farming him is a torture.

ModeratusImperialis

Yes

I actually just started farming him. He was in my shard shop and I bought an extra 120 energy. Off we go!

Me too. You have to start somewhere for any toon. Some times folks forget that it's not just about the instant meta. With the slow rate of adding significant new toons by EA, farming toons as side projects for the future is still very viable.

JumbuckJedi

Yes

I use him in a full Jedi team against droid teams in arena.

I would use him as leader but the opportunity cost of QGJ as leader is too high. Maybe in next meta he will find a way.

JediMasterGibs

Yes

I've got him from bronzium one of my first few days in the game. I think he hits great, and his defense kit is supposedly going to be helpful. He's a great lead for LS missions. Mine is about 10 shards away from 6* and I can't wait

Sticare_Courts_0073

Yes

18/100 for 7* and still praying to RNGesus.

And guys, do you even watch rewards before you hit "sim"? IGD's 20 energy node is one of the very best things in the whole game! You (possibly) get IGD shard, Weapon Mod, AND a Purple Blowdryer! 200% worth it.

I definetlyvwatch rewards and thus am feeling quite alright about farming Rey (3 nodes), Anakin (3 nodes), Royal Guard (2 nodes x 2), First Order Tie Pilot (2 nodes) and Ima Gun Di (2 nodes). Not many with bad drops amongst that lot!

Yes, I love the additional rewards too.

Only his Counter Attack is useful~
