Why isn't Tusken Raider used for fighting pigs?

Wildcats1203

A lot of people use a team of Teebo, Fives, QGJ, Phasma and Ewok Scout to inflict huge damage on the pigs. But TR has the exact same basic as Scout (both have 55% chance to remove 50% TM) and has higher potency and health. He's also in GW shipments, making him way easier to farm. So why isn't he talked about like Scout is?

How about you level TR, raid with him, and report back?

Because I have five other toons that I lack the credits to level and star, so I don't want to spend a bunch on TR just to find out he has a critical flaw I didn't know about.

I've tried him. He doesn't work much post tier IV

Why? I believe you, I'm just curious because he seems so much better than Scout on paper and yet people adore Scout.

He almost never reduces TM after that tier and he doesn't hit as hard as other toons that i can use. He does have a lot of hp but that isn't very relevant in t6

And (from what i hear) the ewok synergy is strong. Most people use Scott with an ewok team

Basically this. I run him with a full ewoks team chirps lead against the piggies and can basically do as much damage as I can in about 30 rounds of attack before rage starts and then escape as many as I can get out. In comparison to Scout on tier 4-5 he doesn't proc tm reduction nearly as much as scout (I'm guessing it's a potency thing). But his assist call is nice on that team as I use it when Teebo is stealthed so you are guaranteed to call an ewoks assist for big tm bonus to them on their basic with a chance to call Elder for huge all ewoks tm bonus, and Teebo or scout for tm reduction. A little off topic but I always wait to use chirps all ewoks attack until Teebo is stealthed as well giving you four instead of two chances for Teebo to proc his huge tm reduction

I like that team a lot

I used him today in a P1 raid, only stuck TMR once but did call assists to many that did give TMR
Without spending a bunch more in gear his potency is stuck pretty low, he now needs raid gear

I would love to see a video of this. I've been slowly working him up with Chewy and the rest of my Ewoks. Already have Teebo 7*. Been hoping to make/try a full TM removal team.

TR lacks potency (62%). 55% chance + 62% potency does not proc very often at tier 6 and mainly at 7.

TR clearly lacking in potency
