Rebels are why I don't fear droid squads anymore

I used to have trouble with droids and avoided them in arena. Now, not so much. Thought you might like to see rebels in action against droids.

    The question will be how you fare against JE. When droids go first they can take out several characters before you can go at all.

    They dont get poggles buff when that happens. 88 way to squishy for this meta too.

    Sorry to say it but every Droid Team with JE is way stronger than the 3 Squads you killed.

    Imagine you not go first and you can't hide behind Han's Taunt anymore.

    Since your Rebell Team lack Leia (the real deal with Ackbar) it isn't hard too beat für Droids with Jawa Engineer. Modern Droid Teams go first and your Squad will be destroy before it moves (Han killed or Ability Blocked). So you should enjoy every Droid Team you face without JE ;)

    I run a droid team (well an almost complete one: HK-47, IG-88, IG-86, JE, and QGJ) and I find it easier to beat Rebel teams compared to Clone teams and Dodgers

    JE sets the bar higher for droid teams

    Oh you guys. Maybe jawa engineer will help you, but I haven't seen one yet.

    I'm not the only one who goes out of my way to target droids. They are pretty easy and don't defend well

    Hk/88/86 all omega with omega daka/RG is best variation ive found untill i get my JE.

    Then im sorry to say HK/88/86/JE/lobot. Will give the 3 droids 3-4 atks before your 1st round is done.

    Only immediate thing i see that can stop that will be a combo of han solo/leia ackbar, or once again the higher speed.

    Absolutely right, which is why you drop Poggle in favor of a JE with a tank. So, most JE droids teams will look like this:

    HK (L)
    88
    86
    JE
    Taunter (Fun Sac, RG, Poe, STH, whomever)

    Without the taunter, JE gets smashed when the other team gets a turn. The teams that give me the most trouble are OB lead and Rex lead. There's only one snAckbar team on my shard near the top of the leader board and I don't have an issue with them (the run Leia, but she never gets and attack off).

    Lobot? I don't really see how he's better than Phasma in this setup.
    Do you have him maxed? How is he doing?

    Correction...lobots omega is worded differently. He DOES NOTgive 50% turn meter he gives half of lobots 8% tm gain per living droid ally or a max of 16% turn meter...DO NOT omega him. I shoulda known it was too good to be true.

    He is just luck, have him at 15/100 now, so it's possible to get him 7* fast

    My answer to droid teams has always been Jawa. He was my first 7*, and still my most powerful char by pure numbers. His special stuns droids. Plus with protection, none of my squad dies first round, especially with my RG, who then stuns 86 basically 100% of the time.
