To Marauder or not to Marauder (with Pre-Kyrotech Bad Batch)?

[stone mantle]

So I'm building up my Negotiator fleet, and I'm wondering, is it worth using the Marauder with pre-kyro Bad Batch, or should I stick with the classic lineup?

Any feedback is welcome, please ping when you first respond so I actually can see it!

Here's my roster if that matters: https://swgoh.gg/p/442963319/ships/

Marauder makes Nego so much better

I know that using the Marauder eventually makes it better, I'm just looking for feedback on if it's worth it given that I can't afford the kyrotech for relic Bad Batch yet.

Changed the post title to reflect that

Iirc there's only one you need to put kyros on to make it worth it

Can't remember which

I have a similar question - just unlocked executor which will be my main fleet. Gonna farm up marauder to 7* but should I hold off on kyro and wait till bad batch LSB drops again? Only benefit I can see marauder giving me is a small boost in GAC performance…

You can wait on BB on a gamble but no reason to wait on Marauder shards. It's not a requirement for now so don't expect it to be part of a bundle anytime soon. The marginal gac gains are important. Huge in lower tiers as most will not have farmed Marauder. In higher tiers it opens up the counters needed to face off vs gl shops. Also: If you gave a halfway decent rote guild it opens up fleet combat missions (at least day 1) but more if your guild is doing decently well. Fleet missions have more points on offer vs. Regular cm and don't have relic requirements.

As far as I recall the key ability you want unlocks at GL. I got the bundle so I don't know which one. I suspect it's the second special so whichever one has it but honestly the ship needs relics to get good enough to be a GL counter
