Thoughts on Darth Maul and Savage Opress
Have both on 4* and honestly both are not bad and Level 45.
Darth has higher damage and wicked AOEs while Opress hits for lesser, except for his special. Even that, its not that alot compared to others.
At level 45, Darth has 3757 health but Opress has 6342, which is almost twice of Darth's health.
Would you guys sacrifice health for slightly more damage or favor someone who can take alot of hits...too bad Opress doesn't have taunt.

A level 45 Luminara can take out 3/4 of that health by herself with one crit on her special. Even if it doesn't kill him, he won't be able to use his special, and he'll be dead on the following round.
DPS of dead characters = zero. I am unimpressed with Maul. Maybe at higher levels but I think you'd have to star him up to be effective.
However Darth Maul is just for P2P. So if you don't plan on spending much on that game, don't waste your time lvling him
Example .. Sidous, Maul, Dooku, Opress (all Siths)... is there a boost for using characters of same race in a team?
If you plan to use him(for pvp), you'll need to have other characters on your team that can buff his def up or Hp up or perhaps maybe even a taunt to divert your opponent's attacks away from him.
A 7☆ Maul with purple gear has 7.8k Hp and has abysmal speed. There's no way he could survive the first wave of nukes, unless assisted or revived. Hence, Savage would be a better alternative for now.
Sith synergies could mean a lot of things albeit there's no "sith supremacy boost" per se, one example would be to utilize a sith leader ability to help buff up your other sith characters.
Example:,
"Sigh. My Maul is such a glass canon, I feel like he needs extra defense..hmm let's see, oh look! As a leader, Savage adds +50 Defs to all Sith characters! Nice, imma put him up as my leader then my other Sith characters will benefit from him too! Nice..Time for pizza.etc"

In PvP , he can be great at knocking down the entire field of opponents even when one of their characters is taunting.
his health is a big issue, so getting into higher level game play is an issue.
I haven't personally used him like this, but could see him used with some tanky characters like 5555's, chewy, and old ben. Could add in luminary for added nuke damage and healing
His leader ability is Sith allies get 12% or more evasion, combined with some defense or health buff could be useful if put with at least another Sith character to make it worthwhile to sacrifice someone like Sidious out of the leader slot.
As I climbed to higher levels, though, he was too slow, got killed easily, and was not able to kill higher HP characters as easily which negated his turn meter with progressive damage.
