Hi there!
As a long term droid user, I believe it’s time for droids to get a Zeta (K2SO his zeta sucks so bad it’s not worth calling it a zeta). Droids are the number 1 F2P squad. There are many players like myself who haven’t spent much on this game, and could still compete with the top of the arena. Lately, it’s impossible to get into the top 5. Maybe it’s a bit too much to ask for a free to play squad to get into the top 5. Maybe the first year you could win as a F2P player, and now you can’t anymore. I’m a bit disappointed actually.
You could say ‘droids had their fair share of glory in the past, go farm a Maul zeta squad’. I could of course farm a maul zeta squad. But that will take me at least 6 months to get them to gear 11. By then, there is probably a new meta around and you can start over again with the grind.
Sorry for this pessimistic story
here are some vids of the daily arena life.

Those shard mates who didn't use droids were in the top 10 all the time and top 3 most of the time despite all the meta changes, yet they had to adapt and change squads a lot while droid users just sat on their bums using the same team throughout the past year.
Not saying droids shouldn't get a Zeta at all but I must say you can't expect to use the same squad for all eternity just because it's droids, other FTP setups have worked and are working now, those competing at the top with those setups just dedicated resources there instead of building droids
Yh forget droids
Can't believe how non-competitive they are.....:/
I thought droids were supposed to be fast high damage hitters on offense. Instead they all hit like wet noodles, only hit fast when JE has crunch time up, and have a tiny health pool. Every other character in these videos seems superior.....
Yes, forget balance and diversity. Let's all be window lickers and run chaze!
The guys I'm fighting (and loosing from) in the video do have amazing mods, I have +76 speed from mods average, but that's not enough as you can see Droids are still good in p2 AAT, GW and a little in the arena, so they are not a complete waste to farm lol.
I have a max gear ig-86 as well, but I farmed K2SO because I could not beat the above squads with him. Now that I have a gear 10 K2SO, it's not helping either. I heard General Grievous isn't good, so I am pretty much stuck.
I understand the mods make a huge difference, I was still quite surprised at how little damage they seemed to do, especially in the game against Rex lead. You could have had another 2 or 3 droids on your team and still lost that.
You have to adapt the teams, not to say droids have to get a zeta because you can win other zeta teams.
I'm F2P. I have a rebel team in arena. I can't beat Zader or Zaul, but I will change my team to win and not saying to give zetas to rebels because it will be crazy.
Still more droids than wedge lead in my top 30. I really would not be upset if they just deleted all the droid toons tho. Hate that I had to farm them.
I still think they are op.
So are you one of the people KeKattia was referencing when they said, "Now if all you have ever done is using droids and upgrading droids..." then? lol
Disclaimer: I'm a droid user.
To be fair - you're using a non-optimal team against arena teams whose specific strengths are anti-droid.
That's like trying to fight an incoming title wave with a flame thrower. Your flame thrower is an awesome weapon - but it's not going to do a whole hell of a lot of good against water.
Is this a theory of fact based?
They all have one ability that is level 7 (the unique for all of them), so it's not really a theory but a generalisation made from the fact that all level 8 upgrades that were not obtainable by level 80 became Zeta abilities.
Thx for the advice and the metafor, I will focus on Sith from now on.. See if I can beat water with water
Nah a good zeta can do wonders. Mail went from never used to top tier arena.
They have lasted longer than most other teams/meta's The ride has to end somewhere and droids have seemed to ended at HAAT P2/P4.
You immediately dispel auto taunt and can take out who ever you need with 88 and 86. Also load up your droids on potency. If you opponent is ability blocked they will not take control of the match.
The problem with droids isn't the fact that they need a Zeta (I'm not saying they shouldn't get one here) it's the fact that the all do the same exact thing. They all crit and crit hard. Droids don't need a Zeta to fix them, they honestly need another droid that isn't just entirely reliant on crits and crit damage for speed and utility. B2 is like this, but he's more just used as a dispeller with good TM gain outside of crits. There needs to be another option for Droids that isn't just crits, and currently all of the droid damage skills are all about crits and crit damage. There needs to be another droid that does something else to move this team in a different direction. Even GG's leader ability already has to do with crit and crit damage. Droids are so 1-dimensional, that a Zeta probably wouldn't fix them.
Wow, thx for your input. They rely too heavily on crits... All the more reason to abandon them. Although I don't think I'm ready yet lol. Hope that Droideka changes things up a bit
Lol I will replace droids with Ewoks when they get there zeta
