HK47 or IG88.. Which one first

Cableguy

Who should come first??

Looking for some input for my arena team

Currently all lvl 54, all purple gear
6* Sid
5* lumi
4* Geo
4* poggle
3* ig86 (working on stars!)

I just got Sid to 6* and I think I'll stop there for now and try to build me a droid team. I just gotta figure out which droid to farm first!

If I get hk47 first would I put him as leader in place of Sid?
If I get 88 first would I drop Sid and then use poggle as leader?

I'd like to keep lumi in there for now. My team is a bit squishy and it's nice to be able to get 1 of her heals.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Having all the droids currently I am going to start on leveling them up by going 88 -> 47 -> 88 -> 47.

Not sure how others run it, but I like the turn meter bonuses from hk-47 as a leader over the offense from Poggle. I also use Poe in my setup though over GS. I guess starting from what you have now I would pick up 88 first. Run Poggle leader with GS, 88, 86, and Lumi you would probably do well. Once you have the full set a healer is pretty much a waste.

Just farm 88 to 7* before you go for hk47. Hk is only good for his leader ability so hes pointless unless you already have a droid team.

Both IGs are VERY powerful! Just unlocked HK...no opinion yet.

HK-47 is the better option for leader if you are going to be running a droid team. I have him and his leader skill is at level 6 and it gives droid allies 25% critical chance and they earn 30% turn meter on a critical hit.

IG-88's leader skill is similar to Darth Sidious but the boost to critical chance is higher at level 6 its 19% but on the flip side he doesnt increase critical damage.

Both have there advantages and disadvantages. HK has more health and a high revive chance but low damage output and slow speed. 88 has moderate speed and can do heaps of damage with all his critical boosts but has abysmal health.

88 1st is a no brainer because of what everyone else said.

Going with 88! Thanks for all the replies!
