A must have robot

djwarcr

Hi
I just want your opinions, which is a must have or the best robot in the game?
I want to get my 1st robot, but not sure which one.

Hk-47 is usually the lead in droid teams and is farmed from squad arena early on.

I thought IG 88 was better.. Cause I don't have a team of robots, I need a robot that can be mixed with jedis or other kinds, a heavy hitter

88 is hands down the best droid because he's a heavy hitter and can be put into almost any team comp.
HK-47 will only be good as a Lead to a mostly droid team.

If you don't have more droids then you do not NEED a robot at all. Maybe R2-D2 will have some Jedi synergy one day but there is not yet a toon with synergy between droids and Jedi.

IG 86 is the most versatile robot. His assist skill will be useful in any team. Think of it as the F2P version of Qui-Gon Jinn

agreed.l 86 is a monster. im at 64 6* and 7gear and he crit for 10000 this morning with poggle buff. if he calls an assist most likely any character is going down in round 1.

So 86 is better than 88?

86 is more versatile.

Arena, Gw, and ds missions all use 86 to gun 1 guy down.

88's special is wicked. But it is aoe and is best preceded by 2-3 aoe attacks that keep negative status.

Following vader, sid and phasmas aoe 88 attack would do like 15000 total damage with the best part being the status effects stay unlike Vader s saber throw.

The overabundance of dooku in arena and GW keep me for using any of my AOE characters. HK and 88 ride the bench most of the time, which is a shame.

86 is better single target, and slightly less squishy. 88 is stronger in AOE and is a good partner with Sid

It means he's got more health

HK-47 is good against jedi with his AoE and is very tanky
IG-88 good AoE but a bit squishy
IG-86 great single target crit plus assist special, also squishy
IG-100 Who? Lol. Probably good against jedi in a fully synergized droid team but you NEVER see him so probably sucks. Mine's still 2* cannon fodder for GW.


The answer is: depends entirely on the rest of your team which is the best fit. I'd say all around, HK is the most versatile for fitting with anyone.

If you have ever played played KOTOR, you know why you absolutely have to have HK-47. You shouldn't even need another reason.

Feel free to ask anything you don't understand. This forum stands for that reason after all...

IG86 is a beast. Faced a 7 star level 65 one today (guessing max geared too) in GW and he had plenty of health and he hit like a truck. I have a 4.5 star, level 55 one so I'm working on getting him to up there in stars.

88 is a little less tanky but he has ability block on aoe, crazy dps and crit dmg modifiers and heal immunity chance like kylo (not 100%). Also, all droids are great dps even the tank HK47. I've seen him crit for close to 4k with his ao, which then gives him 100% turn meter if he crit everyone ( if he's leader).

Aoe is when a character hits all foes?

Yes. It means "area of effect"

There is no Best..
Hk47 is a slow and solid driod, a good amount of damage and a self res function. His aoe attck debuffs. His main job is as leader.

88 packs a wallop. His aoe ability blocks. But not much health

86 single target take down, that's his job. Slightly more health than 88

100. The red headed step child of the driod world. When 7*ed he's a solid driod with anti Jedi abilities. Takes abit of punishment and has an aoe that debuffs the oppositions turn meter. Only go for him if you have the rest, he'll never be amazing, but does go well with with his cousins.

A good hk 47 doesn't lose half his life to Dooku
