Why it matters when you are planning a squad
A squad-wide accuracy buff compounds with everything: more landed attacks means more damage and more Advantage, since the squad gains one every time an Operator damages an enemy. It is the clearest illustration of why astromechs are force multipliers rather than damage dealers — the droid contributes nothing to the kill count and improves every other Operator's.
