IG-86 is a ranged assassination droid with high damage and high critical rate. This brief guide will give you a rough idea of what he can offer to your team.

Type: Droid, Attacker

Side: Dark

Synergy: Critical, Assist

How to Get[Shards]: Data Cards, Dark Side 2-F, Light Side 4-D, Holotable Battle 4-E, Galactic War Shipments

Pros Cons
Best damaging first skill with critical bonus  No AoE damage
Decent health pool for a droid assassin  Requires Hk-47/IG-88 for full offensive effectiveness
Assist attack does bonus and insane damage with another droid  Gear takes quite a bit of time to farm for a 1 star character
Critical goes up with more droids in the party Easily disabled by anti-droid characters like Jawa/Dathcha/Ima-Gun Di
Easily farmable   Low resistance – this vulnerable to special attacks

Thoughts

IG-86 is a surprisingly  good unit when alone and gets better when you team him up with Hk-47(as leader) and IG-88. Anytime he criticals, you can feel the pain incoming. A great team setup for the high damage droid squad is Hk-47/IG-88/IG-86/Poggle the Lesser/Old Daka. Until we can get a good droid healer, this team will wreck faces when they are highly geared.

Old Daka can revive your droids if they ever go down. Plus, most enemies will get focused down and die before you know it.

The only weakness to building a strong droid squad is the anti-droid characters such as Ima-Gun Di/Dathcha/Jawa/Eeth Koth. You will meet them mostly in the arena, so do not worry too much about it.

Otherwise, you won’t regret getting him to max level and enjoy Max Payne.

Rating

[usrlist “Campaign Map:4” “Arena: 4” “Galactic War:3.5”]

Verdict: Max him only if you run a droid squad.
