What is the best squad to build arround DN lead?
I want to build a squad arround DN lead to get to top 10. My shard has 4 months, and I'm level 78.
This is my current status: https://swgoh.gg/u/serithlekit/
I don't have maul or savage.
I plan getting EP 6 stars in a month.

How could I get ride of that Sith assassin ( I can't farm it). How many stars does it need?
I am in love with nihlus lead personally, however it is a difficult squad to pull off unless you have a dynamic tank (baze Sith trooper GK) and some cleanse (savage GK chirrut) my personal favorite setup is nihlus (double zetad) dooku palp savage GK.

It works extremely well for me, I can fully auto every team in the top, and don't really drop out of the top 10 overnight. Best of luck to you
That's a solid core. Obvious a ZDN lead and Zavage are ideal but the above will hold you well
Savage is a must unless you want to use a different cleanser.
SA is needed unless you have a tonne of speed mods.
Last one is your personal strategy/available toon spot. I personally like gk, cleanse and retribution for the whole team and he will tanut, this also let's you sub or leave in savage at your discretion.
Vader, ep, maul are all solid subs.
Nah man DN lead can be a dominant force.
He's level 78, don't think g11 is immediately available to him at this point. Also if he's level 78 Savage won't be very useful, without his Zeta he can't cleanse himself which means if he's shocked or dazed he's next to useless because he won't gain TM and will only slowly cleanse.
Your squad has good synergy, I think the main thing holding you back is your mods. You have very few 5dot mods, and very low speeds on them. The faster you can get your team the better, and 5 dot mods will be far more effective than 3 dot mods. Also, try and make sure everyone in your arena team (except maybe Sith Trooper) has +30 speed arrow mods, I know DN lead converts protection to health so putting protection mods there might be tempting, but you need the speed more.
Besides not haven gear 11, being level 78 also means probably not facing too many gear 11s. 3-4* Sith Assassin is still good. She gives that TM boost to overcome the crippling lack of speed a DN Sith team will have vs other faster squads.
I do agree with you that the lack of a Zeta on Savage does reduce his usefulness. He's the main one to consider subbing at that level. However he's still going to cleanse teammates, and he's fun to use to take out opponents when SA drops them below half health without touching their protection. And he'll still be a pain to deal with considering his enormous health pool, and TM gains against anyone who doesn't have shock or daze. He's going to face far less opponents who can do that at that level.
I just uploaded a new video of nihilus lead versus the meta report squad . It was at a request of some of the viewers
You could sub EP in for Zoba but definitely gotta run dooku behind nihilus . Zavage would be your cleanser for both dooku and nihilus to keep them clean . I like the idea of having 3 characters with a chance to instakill. The video would give you something to build for long term plus if the meta changes DN and Zoba would easily fit into the next hybrid arena team.
Thank you for considering my level. Indeed I don't have g11, I don't have savage although I could farm him in 1,5 months.
Right now my strategy is to get EP 6* in 20 days. I can also get SA to 4*. This would be the short term strategy.
DN, Dooku, EP, Sith trooper, SA.
Would that work short term?
Maybe long term, swicht EP for Savage?
I will also focus on gear and mods for my arena team, once I get EP.
Does this sound good? ^^
I say though keep an eye on what's going on with mature shards because we are likely getting an Imperial rework of some kind in the near future that may shift the leaderboards a good deal. DN leads are really vulnerable to zDV leaders and if DV comes back strong as a leader with those Imperial reworks your DN-led Sith will be in a very bad position to defend.
Rex and GK work really well together. Tenacity up allows retribution on your guys as much as possible which means DN can reduce his cooldowns via counters or GK's assist. Sith trooper is already so tanky that with crit immunity you can afford to offensively mod him. He does a lot of damage straight to health with retribution going which is very satisfying.
GK + Trooper taunt spam is great. What would you recommend though assuming no GK? The OP is lvl 78 and playing just 4 months - GK is probably not in the cards anytime soon as an option.
What looks awesome in that video though is you have Trooper's speed modded to be > DN, setting up DN for a 5 CD pull with all the enemy having debuffs on them. Did you put a lot of speed on Trooper or nerf DN to get the order right?
Trooper has a lot of speed and offense primaries there. Hes in the 200+ range. Makes it more of a sure thing but even if DN goes after SA it still performs really well.
Without GK your other option is FOST. FOST is great especially with a zeta. He calls assists on counter, has a limited dispel capability, cleanses on taunt and also boosts team TM. He also provides team defense up which will jump start ST's taunt cycle and provide ammo for SA. He is also not a jedi which works very well vs Maul.
