How to Use Astromechs in Battles

Astromechs do not carry weapons, but they can deal damage using grenades and explosives. However, their main role is to support Operators with buffs that vary based on the droid’s utilities, abilities, and passives.

Utility slots can be customized by equipping different utilities. Although droids can heal with utilities such as medpac, it’s better to equip these slots with grenades and bombs, and leave the healing to the medics. Droids cannot receive healing from medics. They have a self-heal ability through which they restore HP.

Droids support the team using abilities. The Built-In Comlink and Coordinated Support are two of their best abilities. The first one gives an ally 1 AP and the second gives 1 AP to all operators. These are the abilities you will want to upgrade first by spending Focus Points in the Focus Tree.

Passives focus on providing the Astromechs with enhancements, rather than team-support abilities. For example, you can increase your droids’ movement range and defense through passives.

Use the Built-In Thrusters to place the droid on high ground away from enemy fire. You don’t want them to be in the middle of the action. The Star Wars Zero Company Astromechs primary combat role is to give extra AP. Make sure to use the Built-In Comlink and Coordinated Support abilities. You should also use Enhanced Scanners to make enemies easier to hit. Use grenades and explosives on enemies that are low on HP if you can take them out in one turn.
