As I've gained levels and started playing in the upper ranks, I'm finding that having Darth Sidious in your ranks makes things way easier. Preventing other characters from healing makes it easy to pick them off fast, reducing the amount of damage the other side can inflict over time. When fighting other squads with him in the squad arena, if I don't take him down in the first two to three turns I just write that battle off as I lose one or two characters shortly thereafter because I can't heal them.
How do you combat Darth Sidous?

Second, click on a hero in the character section and below their image is a little circle with three bars, click on that. Scroll to tenacity and it will have a description.
Lastly, Sid is good as noted, but not the best, and easily defeated at higher levels, especially in arena where the match is usually over in 2-3 turns anyway. In GW I usually focus him down first unless, as noted previously, there is someone more dangerous.
Having fast characters with extra attacks and status effects helps a lot. My GW team now includes Dooku, Daka and GS, usually. Between them, Sid gets one attack on me and he is toast (unless there's someone much more dangerous. If I can't kill him fast, I stun him. If I can't do either I swap out GS for my Sid and try to beat him at his own game.
A counter-attacker like Dooku can help a lot because he likes to AoE early and the counters can knock him down far enough that a striker can take him out.
Life is easier with Sid!
And obviously I always go in GW with Sid, I can't think who can replace him. My team is Barris/Phasma lead (depends if GW or Arena) then Lumi - IG86 - Daka - Sid. I have Poe 4* and IG88 5*, soon they will take their spot in the team, but is not going to be easy, i mean, i love daka's stun, lumi's heal, ig86 crits, and sid, so...
I have lumi and Sid on my arena team since they are both fully geared/starred but both will be replaced with ig-86 and qgj once they are starred and geared.
With that said, try going after their slower characters and ignoring Sid at first. If you can kill Lumi for example before she attacks, your team will take a lot less damage and not need a heal as early.
If Vader was a bit better, I'd love to try a Sid, Vader, IG88, Lumi, Dooku team. Vader and Sid can lay dots, IG88 can then crush and ability block, while Lumi sits back and heals 'em all. Dooku is just there to counter all the AoEs.

I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

If you don't have a healer, then you're probably running a hyper-DPS squad, and you can pretty much ignore him until the opposing team's glass cannons are gone.
Depending on server levels, that single heal should either be all you need or you were dead anyway.
Luminara has been my work horse though, she has that fantastic heal and can put out damage. I just have to watch her health. Thanks for all the answers!
