Are we not gonna talk about the shield generator droids?

The ones with the overdrive buff in Assault Battles: Ground War? They look super cool, they could potentially be the true tank droids need to end up in top ten teams again, and I haven't seen a single post about them! Thoughts?

  • They won't show up as farmable toons with that large a protection boost.
  • The tank that droids need is droideka, they could make him have a ridiculous amount of protection and very low hp, also when he loses all his protection his sheild could go away. Plus droideka is cooler than that droid.

    One of the developers have stated that they won't be used in game for players. It's just a character they used for this event and nothing more.

    True. But, at the same time, Savage Oppress doesn't drop everyone down to 1hp, and B2 doesn't have a TM-reduction on its basic. But these characters are farmable regardless--they just behave a little toned down!

    It's a simple skill, I mean it can be dispelled and buff immunity can stop it... doesn't seem too crazy.
  • Aren't these basically the same thing as the support droids from the challenges that are never going to be playable?

    Good point, but these did seem a little more of a playable toon.
  • We need droideka over these.

    I would like to see Droideka and Commando droids the most, personally.

    Commandos are very cool. I do hope to see droideka first tho, they are iconic and the only droids a Jedi will run from.

    Commando droids and droidekas would be amazing.

  • As is the droid would be useless in arena and probably throw a wrench in events and raids like AAT P3.

    I see a protection up ability coming for toons though, similar to how ships work but not to the massive scale they added in the event.

    It's already available for characters, look at Cassian

  • These droids are a support pve unit only. Similar to the support droids flanking the bosses in challenges. They aren't going to be units players can obtain. As I've said elsewhere, Assault Battles feature unique mechanics to make them more challenging. These droids in Ground War are just an extension of that.
