I'm sure this conversation has been on here, but I didn't see it. I have both these toons and haven't leveled them yet.
Which is better? Acolyte has the remove debuff extra, but I'm not sure how often that procs. Initiate has very big HP (I didn't believe it either) and looks to hit hard (on paper).
Which one is better and which should I level?

At gear 9 Initiate has the second highest HP after Bariss. She also crits much more.
It would really depend on what the rest of your squad is, if you have a Sid leader then go for Initiate for example.
Mine are only 3* gear 6 level 63 though, so I haven't had enough experience with them.
Initiate: Very good health, buff immunity and a guaranteed crit on her special gives you an extremely reliable nuke. Pairs excellently with Sidious/boba. Definitely the better of the two.
Initiate on the other hand has good damage and she is an hp soak. This is a good combination because people either waste the time burning her instead of one of your other attackers, or she has surprising damage and utility if you ignore her. She's also superb against the AI who will waste tons of damage into her.
Like I said, I haven't used either enough to decide. Stealth may be completely useless if she is focused before it can proc.
From the surface view Initiate seems much better.
Initiate is bugged still so that rank 6 cut down loses its bonus crit chance so it's just a subpar nuke as is. Her other ability is also underwhelming. And her basic attack damage is terrible.
Acolyte is a lot faster, has a decent nuke that I can proc maybe a third of the time with careful planning, and more damage on her basic attack.
The only benefit initiate has is as a damage sponge vs AI.
Of course they're both terrible compared to others but those are my two cents.
I think I'm going that route. They can both sit with ewok scout and mob enforcer on the level 1 bench. Thanks.
With that said if you check the stats on swgohcantina.com initiate puts acolyte to shame by stats
If she's bugged that's unfortunate. Looks like she'd be decent stat wise if everything's working right.
Both of them are very useful in GW so give your prime team a rest as you progress through. Plus if you have Asajj and Daka, you'd have a real nice Nightsister team. I have Initiate purple level and she has lots of health and staying power. Have used her with Phasma in the lead and she can hold her own. Takes a while for her to die.
