I lucked into a pretty decent arena team...now what?

I am a minnow in a late-November/early December 2015 shard. I had never cracked the top 20, until I stumbled into this comp:

zMaul g11 (originally farmed only because I got 35 blueprints of Scimitar in a fleet card)
Kylo g11 (had him at g9, back when it was extremely unintelligent to do that)
Boba g10 (an early chromium pull, or he wouldn't have even been on my heist squad)
Palps g11 (a new addition, since I was on a spouse-mandated hiatus during the original event)

Now I hold top-20 rather easily and have briefly been #1. Still, I am clearly inferior to a number of the squads near the top (Not surprising since they have earned 50k-100k more arena crystals than I have life-of-game).

My current 5th is usually STH g11, but he has trouble getting his taunt off and so is kind of garbage. I've tried 88 g11, and QGJ g11, but they are awfully squishy for the top tier. Other immediate options are Vader g10, Yoda g11, Phasma g10, RG g10. Sid is a little ways off and Savage a little further still. Are any of the three new Sith an option (no chance I will take them higher than 4* until ftp)? My mods are definitely worse than the majority of the squads I'm currently up against.

Would anybody be willing to give me some advice moving forward, so I don't need to rely on continued lucky breaks?

    Yea I would've started looking for a new spouse
  • Under Zaul I'd take Sith Assassin, she's beastly with that evasion and cloaking
    If you can't get STHan to taunt early I'd consider Sith Trooper too, he gets to taunt when an ally sith uses a special, so as with zaul you're pretty sure to have the go it's a good choice imo
    No need to take SiA and SiT higher than 4*, and I'm pretty sure they'd work well even at 3*
  • Thanks! I was kind of thinking about Sass. Do we know what gear she needs to be before I can plug her in the lineup?
  • If you wanna know best lineup in game, use Zaul lead, Nihilus, Sith Assassin, Sith Trooper, and zSidious. Make Sidious go before SA (Sith Assassin), as sidious would inflict debuffs immediately, then have SA use Dark Shroud, pulling 36% TM to all sith allies, so now Maul and Nihilus go next, Nihilus has 100% chance to increase cool downs since Sidious went before and debuffed whole team + expose, and Maul has daze. Sith trooper is taunting + retribution all in first 4 turns. After that, cruise to victory, as the team has no abilities to use in their first turn, and you are just literally R A P I N G them. GG

    Calling her Sass made me laugh. Darth Nox could be pretty sassy in the game, lol.
  • Honestly phasma could be a good choice. Tanky enough to take a few hits while your sith are stealthed and has some good tm manipulation to allow them to move right away again after their first attack

    I'd recommend using two non sith, otherwise boba's gonna take a lot of punishment at the beginning of the match
