Advice please!!
Well for me Zaul has just about run its course and I need to refresh my squad. My problem is all of my best character are DS and/or Sith so I dont really have an obviously good squad in the current meta of cleanse / tenacity up and giving TM to your opponent on crits.
I had wondered if beefing up my sqaud with zSavage might help (in for Vader) or whether to work on Sith Assassin for a ZVader lead so maybe ZVader, S.A.,DN, SithTrooper, and 5th of zKylo / Palp/ TfP /
I have tried DN lead but it's too slow.
I have no Thrawn, GK, Rex or a geared up R2.
Any ideas gratefully received!

Seriously....Vader even ability blocks kenobi through foresight. That team is tanky, so all members(except stealthed SA) can survive triple hit, chirrut slam, kenobi group hug....I only get one hit by DN(of course) and a really mad Zylo.
Thanks. I have Shore but Thrawn will have to wait until the event comes back.
Ok thanks. I might press the button on a zeta for Savage and work on S.A.. She isn't far off from G10 but requires a tonne of shards to max out. Alas.
Another good option for Zavage, if you have him, is DT. He works great with DN, under Zader he hits hard, and you could juggle between him and Zavage depending on the opposition.
You can even try dual tanks, SiT and Shore, to keep DN and SA hidden behind an impenetrable wall, and kill them with Dots and Culling blade from Zader and Anihilate.
dont get me wrong, you won't be able to beat everyone. i still having horrible time vs Rex+Chaze teams or GK+Chaze teams. but you should be able to beat any empire team, any rex team without chaze, and GK team without chaze, any team that dont have Chaze+R2D2 (besides Wiggs,Chaze,R2 - you should beat that) and most of the zQGJ teams. (r2Z2 zQGJ you won't be able to beat probably)
but with all the thrawns going around... id stick to zaul team, for now, and basically ignore the Chaze teams and jump over them.
but i wouldn't press the zeta button on savage before i see commander luke and what he can bring. rebel team with Luke, R2Z2, Ezra, GK might be very bad for you (because R2 counter zaul - but not in all teams), and an upcoming rebel team that have a counter for zaul can be bad for you.
welcome to watch my modding and my team : https://swgoh.gg/u/sidiousispikachu/ . dont let the number of arena battles confuse you, i stopped play for 6 months, im in a nov15 shard. Zauls i see, Zaders i dont.
good lucker my fellow darksider
Get SA. She's not a hard build to gear up. And she's effective at 3* and somewhat tanky. And she makes your slow sith squad very fast. Once you get SA to g9 or g10 get her modded super fast. Then I would suggest these:
DN, SiT, SA, Savage, zylo/ep/tfp. I run DN lead (DN, SA, SiT, GK, and dooku). With a fast SA it can be a very fast squad)
Zader, SA, SiT, DN, Savage (SA has to be fast so that when she starts off with TM gain then Vader can crush everyone BEFORE any cleanse or tenacity up. This is my goal for when I zeta Vader... Zader, DN, SA, SiT, GK)
Also if you use DN lead I would suggest looking at getting dooku. He is mean under DN lead. Also b2 could help offset the annoying LS buffs.
A lot depends on your arena shard and trial and error. DS squads are at a disadvantage so there will be frustration... But they are more rewarding and more original.
S.A. seems to randomise turns. So if Vader doesn't go first (on a zVader lead) then again versus Rex, it all can go horribly wrong.
I've considered trying to remod to get the turn order I want. But that would require significantly slowing DN. And I don't think that's a good option for me. If you run zVader, SA, DN, TFP, and Shore, you would only be in position to have DN or Vader going first (assuing SA goes before TFP). You should be able to either get your DoT rolling, or reduce the CD.
That's why I geared ger to g10 but I don't use her. I prefer slower sith but in the Zaul DN Vader EP order of movement. But in a Zader or DN team she can be priceless.
I also use B2 with my Zaul as the only non stealthed toon, he spaming dispel and buff immunity saved my hide countless times, but he is not a popular option on older shards. Mine is only 7 months old
