So with 88s omega leader ability a Dot is placed for every crit. I was thinking i could run a team like
88, jawa, jawa engineer, RG, rey.
On the other hand i think i could do much better. Perhaps switching RG and rey for St han and kylo?
The dilemna is that rey would get attacked first and kylo would get ignored.
What team would you guys suggest for ig 88 leadership? It doesnt have to be one using the toons i mentioned. Just have fun with it

A more realistic approach 88 (l) rey, leia, rg, anybody
Also, vader would work on an 88 team
88lead
Phasma
Rey
STH
Daka
Phasma fullisade omega works well since it adds a 90% chance to slow, so pretty much everyone gets it, also crit chance is high so it applies dots all over as well. VM and then 88 AOE and it crits big and does good damage plus more dots that can kill ppl off of too low.
Daka is for stuns and the occasional rez, STH helps me get it all done with TM boost.
I've thought about removing Daka and trying Poe but he's 30 shards from max.
Ideally a maxed out Vader would be the best here, but JE or other droids, Pogglr perhaps, but I sit top 50 easy, have made it to top 20 but my 88 is a little bit weak atm
Ig-88 leader obviously, with 20% crit chance.
Gam guard for his DoT and Tanking
Princess Leia she can do tons of crits and she can hit up to 3 times, kind of a no brainer here because she also gives crit chance up to the team, plus shes now farmabable in arena so you should be able to get her easily.
Phasma Turn meter and Advantage should be great here especially when pairing advantage with AoE attacks. Her defense down will help as well.
now this last slot can be filled with anyone.... Vader for killer DPS (which will probably be your best bet here) or possibly a healer to keep the Gam Guard alive, that's up to you guys though. an option here would be talia as she does more damage against enemies suffering DoT.
Leia boosts crit chance and can get up to three crits per attack, then Lando spams his crit-based AoE, and Vader does his thing. Tank is there to keep Lando and 88 safe, especially from counters.
Once you have a leader, a taunter, and a dispeller put DPS in the last 2 spots. I like Leia, and Fives. As mentioned, Leia can give crit up, and potentially three attacks on a basic. Fives can assist on his special, and double tap on his basic. Lots of extra chances to add DoTs.
Alternatively, Jawa Engineer on a five Jawa/droid team can do well with no taunter/dispeller. With JE's speed bonus up in the 200s you can use 88 lead, and get all AoEs before the other team even moves. Usually he is used on HK led droid teams, but Jawa and Dathcha both have high potency, and an AoE. 88 has his AoE. You could put HK in the last spot free to play, or B2 if you are a pay to play player going against a lot of dodge leaders. 88 lead, JE, Jawa, Dathcha, B2 would be nasty. The other team could very likely have 4 DoTs on all their toons before taking a single turn.
Have taken 1st on more than one occasion with 88 lead. He'll tank your rank on defense, though.
Here is a video for some reference. Just a 5* G8 Vader but I had fun, that's all it mattered. Was still enough to beat meta teams.
BTW, I know there were some questions on DOT damage, from the video and comparing the opponent's HP, I was able to calculate per DOT damage to be 4.99% of opponent's max health. This is a fixed amount damage, it doesn't drop as opponent's health drop. So 4.99% when Rey is at max health and still 4.99% for when she's at 10% so can easily finish a toon off.
88 L
JE
Jawa
Poggle
Vader
I think JE doesn't get too much speed boost in this squad with only 88 and another Jawa. IMO, you need at least 4 Droid/Jawa to make JE viable (meaning being able to go 1st). Because JE going 2nd in the fight just defeat his purpose. You really don't need Vader to go with 88 lead, any DPS that crit, does multiple attacks, and call assists are good candidates to trigger more DOT with 88's lead ability. And without a tank would make your team very easy to be dissected. I'd suggest to just try things out, if you're less adventurous, can try in GW 1st. I think Poggle is out of place here. Better to have another AOE or a taunt/tank.
DOT in general, are great for:
1) with teams having lots of high HP toons because of its % damage. But if you're facing squeezy teams, straight DPS may just kill them faster.
2) with teams having taunt, because DOT may kill low hp toons behind a taunt.
Against other teams multi-hit crit attackers work best. 88/Rey/Leia/SThan/RG do impressive work. None of these teams are good on defense. The AI manages AoE as ineptly as anything it does.
Also note that 88 teams are pretty incredible against Rancor on Phase 2 and 3. When the door drops and all you do is crit all day and all night the results can be 25+ dots on the big dood.
~400K on Heroic.
I do agree HK with JE is better if build involves droids/jawa. But this thread is on what if with IG88. And I switched to IG88 from HK lead just because I got bored with HK and wanted to try something different. : ) Both are viable, end of day, try what you enjoy / have fun is most important IMO.
So far I like:
88 (L)
Phasma
Vader
RG/ ST Han
QGJ
If I had a beast lando I would sub him for QGJ.
Do everyone's basic first turn
use Victory March
light up the AOE's and watch as your opponent is showered in DOT's.
I'll use Vader's AoE first so VM will get him closer to Culling Blade and to add negative status effects to help with 88's AoE.
My guild is doing heroics, but the dots dont do THAT much damage due to the boss having considerably less HP than t6.
I mean, I love throwing 30 dots on the thing, but I am not sure if i'd be getting more out of Phasma procs.
Probably not, now that I type this out. Rancor hits super hard and that door is where most the damage comes from. *shrugs*
