Nightsisters in arena

So I've got the gals at a somewhat respectable place and have been using them in arena. So far they are doing fantastic vs the current meta teams.

They aren't the "unbeatable amazing" team by any means but I have yet to lose a battle on auto with them.

Here's some vids of them in action vs some common high end arena teams for those who may be interested (all auto battles)

This is with Talzin at 5* and g11, Zombie at 3* g9, Asajj & Daka g12 & Acolyte g11 (double zeta on Talzin & zeta on Asajj unique)

vs. CLS lead

vs Empire

vs. GK/ Zarriss (man that Asajj aoe at the end is nasty)

Fun stuff!

Anyone else been experimenting with them as well? Would love to hear others feedback!

    I knew NS has such high potential to change the arena

    I've had a lot of cls lead friend requests today if that says anything.

    @Smapty - awesome vids man - if you record more could you do a few in 1x or 2x speed? There's a lot of mechanics going on here that I'd like to observe but at 4x it's hard to see. Also, are you close to zeta Ventress leader? I think that looks fantastic as well. Essentially it's the DV lead with +30 speed so that they can remove TM early and often.

    Zombie looks OP on offense.

    Doesn't Tarkin and Troopers wipe the floor with them?

    Yes, imperial troopers are a good counter to NS

    I am but finding that mothers lead skill for night sisters using their special ability to inflict plague doesn't work most of the time even though it says can't be evaded

    Her unique says that infected enemies have a 85% change to infect teammembers. Those can not be evaded.
    The special attack can be evaded and resisted.

    Can't be evaded ≠ can't be resisted

    Evaded isn't the same as Resisted.

    I do need to start tracking my resist rates on that though. It seems like plague is getting resisted a ton. I’m a little skeptical that the +50% potency is bugged. Only zeta CLS should have more than a 15% chance to resist on the teams I’m facing. Maybe just my bias though.

    My Arena's top players are only level 60-68, fairly new shard I guess. Most everyone is running a NS build of some sort, virtually all players have mother talzin in their arena team. Not an exaggeration. I wouldn't say it was an absolute must but for the vast majority of arena teams it is. I wonder if and when things will even out for this particular shard, around what level? That is seeing more variety in teams? Who knows. I am trying to build an imperial troop team, only level 49 currently, and I think if I put Old Ben in there with them it'll help counter this. All I really need is a counter to mother talzin and i'll beat nearly every team in the arena lol.

    @JohnnySteelAlpha : you should be able to slow youtube videos down (start the vid and click the little cog in the bottom right corner). :)

    Veers is the counter to nightsisters. Go claim #1

    Veers is a theoretical counter, mods make the difference.

    WOW! Thanks. It's a whole new world now! :)

    Day 2 of using them, I took payout at 16. I'm very happy. Not another NS in top 50 either.

    They're going to be easy to wreck on defense though. How many times in those videos is a non-taunting zombie attacked and killed for no reason which does nothing but feed AV, or in the 3rd video Zarriss healing at the beginning could have cleared all the initial plague...instead her first few turns go to using her worthless basic and she uses her heal when its too late to matter.

    Overall though I'll be glad if these teams make a few of the CLS teams go away in favor of some NS and trooper squads...it will be nice to have some more variety in arena rather than the same handful of toons being so dominant.

    That's where a maxed zombie comes in, then hell be an actual tank.
