Is geonosian soldier 2* worth promoting?

Omnirhyze

Currently I'm only at stage two at squad cantina. Should I complete more cantina missions or farm geo soldier shards (need 25 shards). Currently level 39.

I've got four stages of squad cantina and I still farm him. Depends if he fits in your teams or not. He hits pretty hard and has a useful assist ability.

I'd keep farming him. By the time you get in the late 40s or early 50s he should be closing in on 5* I would guess. He's also probably the best farmable single target dps available unless you want a full droid squad.

Lostshadows

He is beast. Swarm attack can throw out 6k total damage at 54. He is pet of my standard line up now. Plus does not suffer from the innate evasion that some dark side have to Jedi or vice versa.

Triqui

I'm farming him right now, hit 3* tomorrow I guess. Hard decision between him, Luke and JC for cantina missions, actually.

He is certainly one of the underestimated in the game. His only real problem is that he's only farmable in Cantina so it'll take a while, especially Level 6 and up....

I've been farming him since the hard release. I don't even have the 3rd cantina battle table open. I have him at 6*. He's a badass. Keep farming him. I came in 1st the last couple days at reward time sniping back in. He's the best farmable character I find because his shards seem to drop more than jcs shards.

Let's just say I have quite a few 6 star and 7 star characters and he was the only 1 star I had with maxed gear lol

I went for luke because GS is ugly as sin. Some things are just more important to me than atk power..

Good news is Luke is better anyway.

He is great. A cannon, but not made out of glass like so many of the others. His special hits like a truck and calls an assist. If you have another hard hitter on your team that gets called, this can be a killer 1-2 punch. Plus the cooldown on the special at level 5 is 1 turn.

No he's not, I'm a luke user and I regret not investing into him. He hits almost as hard without the assist, but with the assist he hits harder+his special refreshes quicker.

Luke has a crit boost.

His basic feeds turn meter and gives a dot..

Special stuns and lowers def.

His leader skill neuters control teams.

Vs.

Geo's basic gives offense up.
Slightly faster first round.

End.

30% chance to get a 25% crit boost, which barely proc. Dot is garbage, but turn meter is nice.

Special stun is nice but lower defense is pretty much useless. I rather have an extra 2k-3k damage geo provides than the stun.

Geo is far faster not slightly, and hits far harder. IF you're using Luke for tenacity, than yes, he is better, but geo is better in every other area. If you get lucky and crit every regular shot with Luke, he's better, but Geo is just far more consistent.

End

Geo might even hit harder than luke at 7 stars with his crit without an assist. I actually never been hit by a 7 star geo.

Same here would love to trade.

Also Luke has low potency so my stun doesn't proc that often.

It's not hard lumi hits harder then Luke.

Whaaaa? Is this thread still going on?!? Yes, the answer is Yes, Geno Soldier is def worth promoting! He is also relatively easy to gear up than others and only has 3 abilities to upgrade too.

Worth it for any type of roster imo, be it F2P or a paying Consumer as he can fit onto many team comps and modes.

So i should stop my luke at 5*? You are going to depresss.me...maybe i should get kylo and stop wasting in the farmboy

Being faster means a lot, specially if you tsrget Luke with Geo's assist special and nuke him

dajabec

Okay I admit. I quit farming Luke and am closing in on kylo. I'd rather have geo too from what I hear, but Luke is still great to have.

Kennyg3316

Maybe it is just my server but no one uses geo. But since Luke was brought up. The crit up duration at 2 turns makes it pretty constant when you have sid/bobba as lead. So you basically have a tank hitting 4k reg atks and 7k specials. With another heavy dps to stall atks on Luke and you can drop almost anyone solo while group works on single target.

Thanks for the answers everyone, I'll start promoting geo soldier.

You have drastically understated GS. Try this:

Much faster than luke. Higher HP and damage. Crit bonus to any Geo. Turn meter boost off crit. Assist attack every 2 turns. Offense boost off basic.

The guy is a machine and hands down my best hero. The only reason not to farm him is I expect a nerf when more people catch on.

Only reason he gets overlooked is because he's a generic character.

He's alright. Dps and no control. Use him in a more ll

He won't be nerfed. He doesn't heal, taunt or stun. He just do damage and is rather squishy due to low armor.
