Making a Zader team to counter Maul

You need at least 1 cleanser, (I would say 2 but you took away gk and chirrut) only one left is rex. (AA too but not many people use him.)

That is the only way to get through the first round of attacks, unless you can speed a TFP past them and pray for good tmr.

Zader,palp, nihilus,tfp, cleanser ..... still not sure you could do it. The zader nihilus combo is an interesting team I use in gw, I can get anihilate up on most nodes past 4 or 5.

Group cleansers: Ackbar; Ewok Elder; Lobot; Rex; Chirrut; Finn; General Kenobi

Single cleansers: Kanaan ; First Order officer ; Barriss Offee ; Savage Oppress

There are self cleansers too but that's another story. Plenty of options to pick from for cleansers, but most aren't meta.

Zader DT DK TFP DN i beat zaul teams easy

I'd probably consider Savage for a cleanser in that group. He's pretty beasty since his rework, and can benefit from the Vader lead. Would make you want to steer more towards Sith toons than empire, but hey...

I already have better sith than empire, but no savage.

EP, Vader, Maul, and Sid are as far as I can take them for the moment (&$^#^ furnaces).

Dooku, DN, SA, and Sith Trooper all need a lot of love.

For empire, TFP, RG both have gear issues. Shore has gear issues. I honestly can't field a full empire team. DT and Krennic are long farms to get usable for arena.

Gear is killing me, which is why I am so torn on zeta on vader or maul. I'm not sure how to quantify my gear needs without making a spreadsheet, and I dont want to go there.

I definitely need more furnaces than any other 1 piece of gear, but I also need tons of stuff that I can buy from shipments if I can maintain decent ranking.

So torn....

swgoh.gg has a feature that shows needed gear (both individually for your characters, and account wide) if you make an account there. There are plenty of other cleansers available. I listed them above, but Savage is the only one with synergy with Vader.

But Savage is to slow cleanser and only clean one ally per turn

Speed is relative. He's a 123. That's not too fast, but it's not THAT slow. He could get speed boosted. Cleansing one person per turn is better than no cleanse at all.

The point is listing off utility cleanses other than the standard fare: Rex, Kenobi, and Chirrut.

Ignoring those three, who do you think would be better than Savage on a Zader team?

I run Zader in Arena and can easily be top 10 among Rex and Zaul. Today ranked 3.

I use : Zader, TFP, Boba, Zidious and Sunfac/Shore

The opening stun from Palpatine is a problem I agree. I've found Sunfac very useful to clear Baze taunt since all the siths open with AOE, almost 100% of the time this will trigger SF and remove taunt.
I don't think a cleanser is the solution as it can also be ability blocked or stunned at the opening turn and then become useless...
