IG-86

So I maxed him a bit back and have been using him a good deal
and thought I'd review him here for those wondering "who do I
get in GW when Lumi is done"
So here it is on him.
CON:
Speed is not great, but not terrible, can really be great though
when a taunter goes
His HP are not huge, but on Par with Dooku, Sid Lumi at just shy
of 11k
No fancy buff or debuff just a pure damage dealer
PRO:
IMO the most consistant damage ealer. Many have a big span of
damage, but he is pretty steady never under 4K even non crit.
He crits very regular in the 5.5-6.5 range on basic unbuffed
He is a 1 hit killer with his special, especially buffed. I've
1 shot Kylo, Daka, Phasma with him. His DPS is great when
dealing with Tanky counters like Ren and 5's who have big HP and
fight back on hit often. Limits their attacks by dealing such
huge damage. I often 1 shot Han just after he taunts. There is
a team on my shard with a max Han. 86 typically goes right
after he taunts, buffed by Poggle I use his special and Han dies
so no taunt, no TM on hits.
OVERALL:
I think he is the best of the droids. I have used him on 2 non
droid teams. One with Poggle, one without. He does not
disappoint. He is best used(non droid) on an assist team. When
QGJ calls him you are talking 7-9k hit on crit 6-7 non crit. If
he dies early on in the fight, even if he only was called in to
assist and got 1 turn he more than earned that spot as he put
out over 10k damage. Put in Kylo Ren for the near 5k HP boost,
similar speed Kylo needs to use his basic 3-4 times on average
to match 1 attack of 86. Will Kylo live to attack 3-4x more
than 86? Will he finish someone on an assist? There is the
thing 86 forces attackers to focus on him, or risk high damage.
Comp Ideas:
I used
QGJ LEAD
GS
Dooku
Sid
86
QGJ lead over Sid because of speed. Think who can 1 shot 86?
Rey, GS I have 4 that go before Rey and 3-4 before GS(RNG
decides whose bug goes first) That build had 2 fast assist
callers, decent chance 86 gets the call. It also gave me speed
to take out those who could take 86 out fast ensuring that 9/10
he got his turn. That build also gave me typically 2 1 hit
kills in my early game.
My current is similar
Poggle LEAD
GS
QGJ
Dooku
86
So I gave up a good bit of speed here, gained HP and power in
Poggle though. Poggle leader gives Droid and Geonosian allies
25% more offense, so 3 of my toons hit 25% harder all fight.
Poggle adds offense up atop of that. This is the build I have 1
hot Kylo and Phasma with before and Daka very often. QGJ stays
in because he is an assister, also if AI targets Poggle out of
the gate and wastes 3 attacks killing him fast QGJ can Buff my
team, he can break the taunt of Poe, Han, RG. He can debuff the
biggest threat with Advantage from Phasma. This build hits
very, very hard.
Here is another thing. In this speed DPS meta he may lack
speed, however he forces teams to target him. Put him with a
couple big hitters/threats like Leia, Rey,GS,QGJ,FOTP, even RT
or RP or Greedo. They have to choose what threat to attack.
They go at him first GS and QGJ are left be and fasst enough to
help keep hijm alive if you attack wise. They go after Rey or
GS or QGJ first he lays waste with his special. He makes
opponents think. I find 3 the magic number for me. If I see 3
hard hitters I'm more inclined to attack another target. Two is
not as threatening, 4 I know they have poor HP so attacking
right I can win. 3 strong DPS toons is a magic number with the
right other 2.
86 given his slower speed and not huge HP pool is pretty safe
from the nerf hammer. He is one of the games hardest hitters.
He also fits well on many builds. Poggle lead helps, Sid Lead
helps, HK lead helps, 88 lead helps, Phasma lead helps, Lumi
lead helps Barriss lead in GW helps. So he is a great single
serving character that can slide in anywhere really but has
exceptional Droid, Geonosian, and assist synergies.
