So I just finished my Conquest 7 nodes, and did just noticed that I didn't found a single Nightsisters + Zombie team (Sector 2 boss does not count, of course)Has anyone found one yet? Or is this another "nerf"?And by nerf I mean that those teams were the ones that made the insane amount of repetition tasks and feats a brief thanks to zombie getting resurrected over and over, and you could do whatever you needed to in one battle (most of the times)

i believe you just got some bad RNG this time; i got at least one NS team in each zone and two (so far) in Sector 5, and i'm not even halfway through it. However, I will say maybe there's a double-secret nerf as not a single one of those NS teams has a zombie in it. Things that may you go hmmmmm.....

Same. NS nodes scattered around but the only Zombie is on the sector 2 boss node. They nerfed it.

Zombies are still in normal mode sectors

I think Zombies have been deliberately removed from the NS nodes and not just a result of RNG. The only zombie available is with the end boss of sector 2.

Bad RNG or another secret "nerf"?

There are some factions removed, some added, and some squad compositions changed (not just NS)

Its not a nerf when they do that, although cheesing via zombie was a popular strategy

This is the correct answer. And making the feats a slog is what CG believes is "fun and engaging" for us.

It's deliberate.

It is fun and engaging. It’s forcing me to find fun and engaging activities and games outside of swgoh.

I guess gearing bad factions like Phoenix is also fun and engaging.

Good thing that isn't necessary.

Phoenix? You’re right Phoenix alone isn’t necessary to gear. But you have to pick some out of Phoenix, smugglers, Mandalorians, nightsisters, and deathtrooper.

NS really only need assaj and OD, and you can make it work with discs.

Also, I believe those are all worth 5, and you have 35 you can miss, so even with those 5 feats (add BB for 6) you still have one more you can skip.

What??? Mandalorians and smugglers are each 10. Deathtrooper is 15. That’s 35.

I didnt check those as I just got to sector 4, I was at the NS one and thought they were all 5 as we progress. Which is why I said I believe. My bad.

I have no relic Phoenix, two relic Mandos thanks to other requirements (Jango and Boca Tan), four relic smugglers thanks to other requirements (han/chew/vets), two low relic NS (Daka and AV), and a G12 DT, and I will get the red box.

And the NS are because of HSTR 1.0 (pre-SLKR) and DT is because of ships 1.0. I haven't equipped anything new or touched relics at all for conquest.

They removed a.core member of the Nightsisters squad, who by your own admission made certain feats easier to complete, from every Nightsisters node except the sector 2 boss node.

It was a nerf.

We can debate all day whether it was warranted or not but claiming that it was not a nerf is simply ludicrous.

Its not a nerf, in fact NS teams are easier to beat, so its a buff for us

It can be viewed as a nerf if your only goal is to chase X kills feats

The math rather indicates you have to chase some of them. Since Zombie's introduction, I've not seen an NS team without her in it so she's a rather integral part of the squad.

Also everyone plz raise your hand if beating NS teams was difficult in conquest for you. Cuz I've always found it easy.

Well I guess since you represent 99.9% of the swgoh (me representing the other 0.1%), I’ll have to withdraw my comment. I didn’t realize everyone else had already geared everyone.

Hey enjoy your lower box then.

For real though, since when is a R2 Daka/AV the 0.1%???

The whole point of Galactic Grindquest is to chase feats and removing zombie makes that more difficult. It is a nerf.

ah, i see....reading is, in fact, fundamental; sorry that i misread that. i tawt i taw "no NS teams"; again, my bad.

Just feel like you should be commended for owning it.
