Hi, sorry for another one of these, but frustrated with SWGOH at this point as I have been at it for a while, but don't really have any solid understanding of if I am doing well or not. Can you take a look at my squad and poke holes in it? I really want to get to a Dark Side strong team, but am clearly clueless!!!

It looks like the easiest solid dark side team for you is going to be either Sith or Nightsisters. For a good Sith team, you’ll need Palpatine zeta lead, Vader, Nihilus, Sion, & Bastila Fallen. For a good Nightsisters team, you’ll need Talzin zeta lead, Ventress zeta unique, Zombie, Daka, & the last spot can be Acolyte, Talia, or Spirit. You want to gear up whichever team you choose to the maximum.
To have more options for the future, you’ll need to get some more legendary characters. Since you’re interested in dark side, here are the requirements to get the following dark side legendaries:
Grand Admiral Thrawn - 5 Phoenix characters, preferably at gear 9+
Darth Revan - HK-47, Canderous Ordo, Bastila Shan (Fallen), Carth Onasi, & Juhani, preferably at gear 10+
Darth Traya - get in a guild that runs the heroic sith triumvirate raid. Your best path to being able to contribute to the raid is to build up your Nightsisters
If you were to Create an all Nightsister squad as an example, their effectiveness is amplified. Or choose Sith. Or Bounty Hunter. The point is Random, higher power, teams are less effective that a team that works well together.
One thing is that you haven't really committed towards working to get some of the Legendary characters.
For Commander Luke Skywalker (CLS) , you need a specific set of five. Get those 5, star up to 7, gear them, and obtain CLS. Then do the same for BB8, then JTR (be advised the Vet Han and Chewy grind takes time), then Grand Master Yoda, and Thrawn. I'm not suggesting an order to do these, but these are the characters that you'll want to get, and some of the best toons.
As a final note, do not underestimate mods. You have some 1 dot mods on your characters. Your arena team (Greedo) has low level mods This is not good. Start the mod farm, and keep at it until you get some better mods. Only 5 dot mods should be farmed and upgraded. I'd start stripping all the 1-4 dots off your characters, and only upgrade mods that have good/better secondaries.
It's easy to get focused on a lot of different factions at once, but you'll gain a lot from building a strong, cohesive Arena team and then choosing specific factions to work on. Took me a while to get there. When I started I was just randomly collecting. As soon as I focused my farming the whole game got better.
Do yourself a favor and don't neglect your ships, either. Strong ships are a tremendous asset, not least because fleet arena is much easier to compete in than squad arena, and is by far the best way to get zeta materials. You've got a decently geared Vader and Biggs - add a strong Imperial TIE or First Order TIE to that and you have a decent starting lineup.
The ships are frustrating but I am progressing through.
Thanks again!
