Who else is excited that Jawa Engineer is finally coming to the game? Been looking at his data mined info for a long time waiting on his release.
If nothing changes from the data mined info, here are his skills/stats at max:
Speed: 153
Health: 13187
Protection: 11261
Power: 6948
Basic: apply a miniaturized detonater that detonates after 1 turn
Special (cd 4): revive a fallen droid ally at 1% health, then all allies recover 30% of their Max health
Special (cd 5): all allies gain critical chance up for 2 turns, Jawa and droid allies gain 45% turn meter.
Unique: Jawa engineer has +10 speed for each living droid or Jawa ally.
I understand why he wasn't released in the old meta, he would have been way too powerful with his speed and ability to give turn meter. Would have let the droids go before everyone. With a team of 4 droids, his speed will be 193, making him one of, if not the fastest toon in the game.
His special that gives crit chance and turn meter will allow him to move the rest of his team up to 193 speed allowing the droids first turn. Hate how 88 always gets taken out before he can move? Won't have to worry about that now, and if he does, he can be revived and healed.
Jawa Engineers basic looks horrible, but no big deal, he is not there to do damage anyways. This addition will make droid teams beastly. People may need to farm up Jawa and anti droid toons to counter.

I thought the nerf calls for droids were bad after last update, they will be a lot worse after this guy is released. Hopefully they have balanced it. This combo may indeed be too op if everything stays like the data mined info says. It may require anti droid teams to deal with the droids. But, who knows, the stats I posted may all be wrong, guess we will have to wait and see.

Essentially you are guarenteed to revive GG each time! Engineer would be lightning quick at 193 (includes himself in calculation I believe). Insert whatever tank you like at end, but we all know RG is best right now.
Droids are very beatable now, but this Jawa Engineer sounds like too much!

Maybe some of you don't read all the SW universe literature but he is one of the most critical and compelling characters involved in cleaning up the mobile base the Jawa live on in Tatooine. And while in the movies it seems like all the Jawas in his tribe died by, like, 2 storm troopers that was all just droids staged by the engineer to keep the Jawa people safe so they could exact their revenge and single handedly kill the Emperor using their programming on the farmboy Luke to enable him to interact with the Force.
I can't wait until his movie installment. I think it's set after Rogue One.

If most/all droids get a turn or two before the other team with the engineers special, looks like droids teams will be dropping their tank for the engineer. I will be sad to see the Han/IG-100 tm combo leave, but the engineer's special in conjunction with HKs leader ability at 80 looks too good to pass up.
Good point. Looks like there will be multiple counters.... Clones, jawas, Jedi. I have a low level low gear 7* Datcha sitting the bench, may have to train him up and get to work on Jawa as a counter.
But any assistance to droid teams helps.
Any thoughts on using JE with one or two droids/jawas inside of a Dooku/RG squad? Or another. Nice thing about JE is that he doesn't need to be lead to synergies with droids, and he can give the rest of your team crit chance up. I was thinking with 88 or 86 he could be used to speed them up, and then if they die he could revive the droid and provide heals to the rest of your team.
Almost, I'd take

Stun + added ressurect. HELLO!
My 7* Ugnaught would dodge all that mess. ;-)
The ultimate battle for star wars supremacy! Forget this dark side light side nonsense!
Jesse said Jawa Engineer and Gammorean Guard are coming to the guild store. The data mined stats may not be correct, but I doubt it.
Can't really have too many support toons and enough firepower to win. I think it will have to be one or the other.
My thought exactly. They just need to survive the crits.
I think so. Crit chance up with 45% turn meter gain combined with fastest speed in game. Resurrect and heal droids, gonna be awesome.
