ig-88 vs ig-86
if you could only choose one for a crit-based, non-droid team... which one would you choose?
it seems like 7* ig-86 has 2000 more health than 7* ig-88. ig-86 also has an ally assist attack and a super high critical chance. but works better with droids
ig-88 has health immunity, ability blocking, and aoe attacking. it has 2000 less health but doesnt need to work with droids. also has high crit damage...

If health is a big factor for you then I wouldn't use either. Both can pretty much be taken out first turn in pvp. The 2000 health difference is really just 1 extra attack to take him out. What you gain from ig88 is better than that one hit difference imo.
I've been pondering on the exact question myself lately.
I experimented different combinations in the cantina battle. I can tell you that 86 only maximizes its potential on a droid team. Even if you put it on a single target team, it is not as effective as tie pilot or Luke. So you are much better off with 88. 88 works great with any debuff or AOE team. The health difference shouldn't be a concern because they're both glass canons. Against strong offense, they both fold quickly.
IG88 if you're running a non-droid team. He hits harder and crits more often and is faster than 86. Overall an 'upgraded' model.
Match starts...
Poogle hits offense up...
Sid hits his AOE for 3-4k...most are dotted
IG88 with offense up + damage increase from debuffs can hit 4-5k AOE.....
Want to see big numbers on AOE? Poe has faster speed than IG88 he will go right after Sid I believe. He will add around 2k damage making IG88 hit for up to 7k...on an AOE.
Lol any questions?
Also Poggle gives IG88 speed buff boosting him to around 130 range. So it will go before the enemy Lumi and whatnot.
U can have Lobot as leader for droid speed boost and debuff/healing for emergency
Or another twist is on an empire team with Vader .. Tarkin leader for speed boost (tarkin or veers, always confuses them) Vader, Sid, IG88 and Poggle
I'm farming Veers, how is his AOE damage?
Thanks
I'd like to eventually add Daka in place of Lumi. She adds a stun plus she has a chance to bring back IG-88 if he gets FF'd out and pretty much everyone is going to focus him right off the bat.
Plus we're talking about a ridiculously fast team with Sid/Poe/Poggle/Poggle enhanced IG-88/Daka. And Sids bonus to crit chance/damage will wreck face.
Veers is especially good vs rebels.. With that said.. His AoE does a decent amount of dmg and can ability block which is always a good bonus.. And also his passive is good.. Whenever an enemy is defeated he can gain Offense up for 2+ turns if I remember well
He's not worth being a leader, but depending on your setup, he can be quite good...if he can unload his specials.. He's a tad slow tho.. So when I tested him, I had tarking boosting his speed to give him a chance..and then basic attack to gain that speed up even more
That's a good setup
I don't have Poggle yet.. Only 3 heroes I don't have.. He seems quite fast.. What's his top speed?
With opponents like u, I usually go for Poggle first and stun him or ability block him with Dooku since he's fastest hero in game atm.. Until they bring Yoda
Love Daka.. She can be such a game changer and annoying for opponents .. If u place a Daka in ur line up, that would force me, hypothetically, to go after Daka first.. That would make it quite tougher
He has 116 speed at max gear but he also gains speed from Poggle's buff (tho not certain if it works during the first turn).
Poggle has 136 speed and can only be stunned by Dooku but even that is a low possibility since he is no Jedi and has a quite high tenacity.
He is one shot killed by rey. He is one shot then finished off by AOE by lots of faster toons. If by a nondroid team you mean no poe/poggle or other way to speed up his first attack, then 86>88 in general utility. 86 has same health as GS or rey. These guys are fairly hard to take down in first round behind a decently fast taunter or an RG.
88 without a speed up toon will only get an attack 50% of the time. The rest of the time he is just an empty spot on the roster, absorbing one shot for your tank before he is dead. AI will target him every time. Unless you have someone even squishier and really like to lose.
If u want 88, you need some way to get his speed up. If his aoe blocks the right toons he might live long enough for you to get a taunt up. Unless you have an all out dps/droid team, poe alone doesn't cut it for a taunter, either.
86 isn't ideal as a single target damage dealer, but he's still good and way easier to farm than Rey or FOTP. With some protection he can stick around a while and does very good damage. He's perceived as a relatively low priority target (probably below Daka, Han, GS, and QGJ), so you'll probably get to use him while 88 is a high priority target so he just gets killed.
By that reasoning, we should all be using IG-100
Hey nice data, wish that this kind of information was easier to glean. Do you have a excel with this data, or did you just calculate it on the fly from swgoh.gg?
Nice set up. Especially, the dumb down on AI lol
