I am running zaul gr 10, zavage gr 10 (zeta tomorrow), palpatine gr 10, nihlus gr 8 but soon 9, and everyone says to replace my gr 9 Vader with sith assassin. Not going to lie Vader is a monster with his debuffs and sword throw.
Why am i replacing him? What does sa bring to the table? Please talk strategy

58 doesn't seem to be my cap either. I Just ran out of arena fights
Because she boosts TM for the whole crew?
Because she's evasive and moderately tanky?
Because she can stun?
Because she does good damage?
Because she has stealth?
Because she's one of the best characters in game (w/ a sith team) at the moment?
Better question is how can you not use her? She's my favorite character in game and hard carries my Zaul team... well, beside Trooper of course.
Her TM boosts are priceless
Her stealth is useful
Her one shot kills are insane
Her ability to hit hard is extremely useful
She's also easy to mod up for speed - what's not to like?
So squishy. Another weak spot. And seldom 7*.
Trooper is massive though.
SA without trooper is a free win from my experience.
My team is: Maul (z), Palp, DN, Kylo, Boba (maybe SA). Any tips are welcome!
I think that I will create a thread
Lol hey R2 is a great toon. Just yesterday I took out a zaul team with GK and managed to beat them with my droid team taking out Nebit and using R2 in his place. Before then, I had never taken out a zaul team without losing any of my toons. Its not nonsense, its happening. You should adjust your team comp.
Never thought I found myself saying this, being a droid player for 6 months. But I believe full sith squads under zMaul lead will be viable for a long long time. With r2, more people are able to beat them, which is a good thing. Awesome to see droids are able to beat Maul squads as well!
On offence, Maul is still superior. With sith assassin, they will go first. This is what makes them great, even without dodge.
Offtopic: How good is sith trooper? I'm not sure if Sith Trooper or General Kenobi should take the 5th spot in: zMaul(L), Sith assassin, zNihilius and zSavage.
I don't know about that. Base speed considering, JE and R2 are both faster than SA. Mod them to be quick enough and the entire droid team will attack before SA makes a move. R2 burns them, causing evasion down, and IG88 or HK can ability block the entire team. Once that ability block is on them, its over. Focus attacks on Zaul, and he'll be dead without ever making a move.
You have to multiply SA's speed by 1.25 to get her opening round speed under Zaul. You'd have to have an insanely modded JE to be faster than her. No way to get an R2 that fast by himself (without recalibrate).
6 or one-half dozen tbh. GK is viable in more comps than Trooper, but Trooper benefits from zaul's leader ability (dodge).
You know you have to multiply sith assassin her starting speed with 1,25 right? Because of the zMaul(L) bonus.
For example:
Sith assassin base speed (151) + speed from mods (100) * 1,25 = 314 starting speed
Jawa Engineer base speed (153) + speed form mods (100) + droid speed bonus (50) = 303 starting speed.
Conclusion: it will be hard for JE to outspeed a sith squad.
Yes. And if you find you need survivability use somebody like STrooper or GK as well. TFP and Boba would be the two to be replaced in that scenario.
Completely forgot about Zaul's speed boost. I guess I just haven't faced any SA's yet that's been faster than my JE. Good thing to keep in mind.
Edit: Also you beat a Zaul team on your shard and automatically the entire Zaul comp across all shards is dead? Really dude?
A fast SA (like mine) will always get the first go.
Darth mauls zeta (the insta TM part) is GROSSLY GAME BREAKING OVERPOWERED AND UNNECESSARY.
You 'should' need SA, if fast enough she can make your entire team go first....
But you don't, because of the above.
The end.
