Magnaguard..
He is so bad. G9 lvl 80 he is so bad. He loses 1v1s to even dooku at g8. His special is a joke damage wise, solid 2ks.
I love when it comes down to 1v1 and the enemy has no protection left and your magnaguard is full health and you lose because dooku and Fives555 get 16 attacks to your 4, which hit like butter.
Obviously magnaguard is not a 1v1 kind of toon, what is he good for? In what way can you use him effectively?
Also for having a 55% chance to counter is so useless. It only procs 25% of the time. Make it 80 like fives555 or his new unique should be 20% chance to attack a target that a droid has attacked. Also if untouched he will receive offense and speed up. Just take out counter altogether.

Just wondering since I thought about farming him for that to see if he's any better.
I don't use him but on paper...he is kinda ok. He does aoe gains 100 percent tm and gets speed up and does his basic, if it crits(which it probably will) he will almost be at full tm again and get offense up...right as you kill the last guy...
Honestly I tried him out. He gets his AoE off and hits for like 2k. The best case scenario is he gets his AoE off and reduces their tm. Even then it's not enough to give any droids an extra attack even with HK47 lead.
Most times he just sits there taking up space because he's slow, no one attacks him and his attacks are very weak.
If I were you I'd invest in jawa. His omega has 25% chance to stun any toon not just droids.
His potency is good and his basic is supposed to be the most efficient way to apply speed down in raids now. Plus he's faster than all the droids and hits hard. He also fits into the JE squad synergy.
As g9 he does great against g8s. But as soon as you play against a team with similar gear he is just useless.
I got him on a HK droid team with HK omega but honestly its not that great. Just like OP mentioned, it gets whipped by dooku and fives constantly. If counter was like dookus 100% I think it would be more viable
Grevious at least gives the free turn and taunt and hits for a consistent 5k+ and the health down really pays off with hk lead and JE when you unleash aoe's.
I don't see how his AOE isn't getting ur other droids to get in attacks. With hk lead and je, my droidson seems to always have two toons near full at all times. Maybe it won't be as great going up against Ben/han. But i think magna aoe is good. On any other team would not aoe that does 15% TM reduction and 1.4k damage and gives 100% tm be any good? (15% because droids and je are at least 50% faster than any other squad.)
Magna has won many matches for me. He is great to tag dooku with o down, early. So ur other droids don't take too much damage. He ensure someone is alive to see je detonators finally go off, if it comes to that. And when he is down to last two toons with hk, I have actually seen him get both his buffs up while the AI focuses on HK.
Perhaps RG will be better on defense, still.
If you are successful with him just think how much more successful yoy could be without him. Trust me I want him to be good I farmed him all the way from 0. It doesn't matter if he gets off his AoE because his AoE and 1 attack is so weak it doesn't even matter. His tm reduction is good but it won't buy any of your droids an extra attack. Also by the time you can use his AoE again you have either won or are the last character standing. Even 4 star grevious is a better sub.
Until he gets a buff I will patiently wait for his day to shine. For now the bench he will sit.
