My team consists of nihilus (lead), Vader , Boba, sidius and dooku. Up until recently I would easily take out Phoenix squads. Now, since I reached lvl 75, it’s like 33% success rate. Anyone have tips? I usually go for chopper first since he taunts right away and has fewer HPs than Kanan. Also any tips for beating nightsisters would be appreciated too!
Thanks

For Phoenix take out Hera first, then Ezra and Zeb. Chopper and Kanan don’t do enough damage to cause you troubles.
For NS take out Daka and Talzin first, then ventress. If they run Zombie and Acolyte you must take Acolyte out any chance you get. The AOE of most Sith will help with that.
Sith are very fun but not top Arena quality but can serve you well at your level for a while. If we get our rework of Palp/Sid/Vader they might be ok again. A lot of people will tell you to get Maul and Assassin but my opinion is they die too easily, you want damage, speed, and survivability under DN lead.
by the time annihilate is charged, use it on kanan. you must annihilate kanan. If you cant becuase of choppers taunt, wait one more turn and kill kanan.
after that it's just so so easy. Annihilating Kanan is the key
DN, SA, SiT, dooku, and a 5th sith
Phoenix squad recovers health when they suffer a debuffs and you have a lot of guys that do debuffs.
Phoenix squad presents different challenges to different people. What is your problem.
I never time out against them. They usually keep taunting back and forth until they pick off a couple of my stronger sith toons. If dooku and Vader/Nihilus die im toast. They also have so much health and recover a lot that it makes it difficult to pick off Ezra quickly.
Are you taking a lot of damage from the counter attack on Kanan and all following him? That seems your biggest weakness to me. I'd try and focus on chopper he is kind of squishy for a taunter and a lot of their recovery comes from him. At ability level 7 11% health when on their turn and 11% protection when hit.
How tanky and fast can you mod your Nihilus. If you get in before taunts and put the ability delay on them and kill chopper and anihalte Kanan it should be easy from there. If you can stun Kanan with dooku to stop him taunting it gives you the time to focus down chopper.
If I kill Hera do the rest of her allies lose each other’s unique ability?
No that stays for the fight. I presume he wants her dead because of last stand.
Well that and her exposes rip through DN lead Sith. Plus their TM gain on Special is only if she is alive, so taking her out removes a ton of their TM gain.
Best scenario is Fracture, Boba AB to stop specials, EP stun (make sure his potency is up). If you can get Maul's AOE then you can daze and they won't counter attack but usually Maul isn't that fast. Boba may lose a life upon his AOE but he'll recover. Be patient with Boba's annihilate or Vader's culling blade until right time as those will dispel the debuffs/stun. Eventually you'll be able to one shot them.
