Take Nightsister Acolyte with Nightsister Zombie and you can defeat almost everyone. Acolyte will always be in stealth and only AOE can reach her while Zombie will be constantly dying. But what if we go further and take squad: Nute (leader), Acolyte, Leia, Geonosian Spy and Zombie. Leia, Spy and Acolyte will always be in stealth and can destroy any meta team while Zombie is reviving. Is it fair? I think no. Devs should do something with this Zombie with it's overpowered revive skill. Devs please make something because their are ruining the game.

This team can beat it, yes. But what was the last time you've seen such teams in top-100? I don't even remember. Isn't it fair that this team might climb very high? You have to invest a little resources in this team and it can destroy gear 12 meta toons which players have been developing for weeks and months. It's stupid that very poor team can beat much stronger teams due to unstopable reviving! Something must be done with Zombie!
Death Trooper. Baze. B2. Anyone with a decent AOE or with AOE buff removal.
In all honesty Im not a fan of this new mechanic, but I get it. To make Nightsisters sell you gotta take DRASTIC measures. Drastic? Durastic? eh.
B2 likes stealth people.
It's not rocket surgery.
It's Nute Gunray dude. He's one of the worst toons in the game. Probably worse than Pao. How can you be this upset about it?
All the Zombie/Acolyte combo does is exploit the weakness of the CLS single-target meta. It doesn't beat General Zarriss teams and it loses to any AOE.
Nute is worse than Pao? Maybe, but if he is the worst - he shouldn't beat the best!
He raises a valid point.com
well it's not a "fair" team (just like Lugo) so I believe it deserves a nerf of some sort.
Personally, I think it's immoral to pay nothing for a game you enjoy (or even a game you don't enjoy for that matter). You're just riding on the back of all the whales (I'm not a whale--more like a baby dolphin--but at least I contribute). It makes me wonder how many players have truly spent nothing on the game.
Nerfing Nightsister Zombie would be dumb at this point. It is the ONLY thing people with General Kenobi and CLS can do to get into the top 10, not because it's insanely overpowered, but because it's a counter! I know CLS isn't used to having those, but these stealth teams take advantage of the two things CLS teams don't have: AOE, and AOE dispels.
If you use that CLS team and face such a stealth team, you need to change your team a bit to beat it.
Its better like that because you need to adapt to beat specific teams.
Being able to win against everything with always the same team is no good for the game.
Haha! a good point!
You don't even have to change your team. You just have to play smart. Without having a full NS team to back up this strategy, a human player can stop it long before it ever starts. This team would hold terrible on defense.
Don't forget insta kill primary target and override any ability to revive.
Firstly, nobody mentioned money. Bringing it up just to talk bad about ftp is unnecessary.
Secondly, ftp don't "ride on the back of all the whales". Without ftp - a vast majority of the playerbase - there wouldn't be anyone to whale against, and no game. I've spent a fair amount of money on the game myself, and I think it's immoral that you think people have to spend money on a free game. If this was an independently developed/published game, I'd be more inclined to agree with you. But this is EA. They don't need to bleed everyone dry to make their mountains of cash.
You do realize that the casual spenders are being outpriced (ie crystal booster going away) solely because of the whales' willingness to drop loads of cash, right? There were a lot of people that only bought the booster and don't spend at all now. The whales have nobody to blame but themselves. Well, EA gets some blame too.
