Tier 2/3 Sith Raid Phase 1 Team Advice Needed

Anyone have advice for those not doing heroic? Or not having elite toons?

I'm too lazy to go look at your roster and figure it out for you. ;) But I can tell you what is working for me in T4. Maybe some of it will be useful, probably not now, but maybe in the future.

JTR is the obvious one.
CLS/Han/Wiggs/Healer
DOT squad - Zader, Nihilus, Sidious, Boba, Tusken Shaman
NS (least useful of these teams)
Thrawn/Deathtrooper/Magmatrooper/Veers/Shoretrooper

Thanks, appreciate the reply. I don't have JTR or CLS or Han just yet. Was hoping to learn if anything I do have could be used better.

Currently I keep the teams together based on faction but am wondering if that is not the best use. I have:

• Phoenix
  
• Empire - Tarkin, Vader, Palpatine, Thrawn and TFP
  
• Rebels - Wiggs, Sabine, R2, Admiral Akbar
  
• Scoundrels/Mix - Boba Fett, Lando, STH, Teebo and Jedi Consular
  
• First Order/Mix - KRU, FOTP, Kylo, Darth Maul, Darth Sidious
  

I know people in my guild use FO with decent results, and I know Phoenix is supposedly good in P2 but terrible in P1.

Unfortunately most of my success in this raid has been related to the zetas I've collected. Not sure if either of those can do anything without zetas.

On lower tiers Nightsisters with Assaj lead (zetaed) do quite well.

Jawa and bountyhunters (detonators stick on lower tiers) do well to. Stick as many detonators on Nihilus as possible.

Deathtrooper/Thrawn/magmatrooper combination is really good as well. Kill adds, put deathmark on Nihilus and go crazy with fracture and magmatrooper.

Just to clarify OP asked about P1. My zzAsajj lead NS do the worst of my five teams in P1. Good in P3/P4 though.

A simple team that most people have: Farmboy luke lead with any other 4 rebels. I use CLS and Han but can use Leia Ezra Sabine and Visas Mar. Visas is key but everyone has her. She will work at 3 stars.

If you dont have Farmboy, Ackbar lead works too, but you need to put at least a Tenacity Cross and maybe one set one everyone to work.

The tenacity lead resists the defense down debuff so muti-attackers can go to town without him getting protection back. Can easily get more than 1M damage.

@VonZant is this phase 4 you are talking about? Or phase 1?

Phase 1. Works in phase 4 but not as well. People just die faster.

I've had decent luck with Zader lead, Palp, Nihilus, Thrawn and Death trooper. Hit with Zader dots early, kill adds, death mark, hit with Fracture and Annihilate. Rinse/repeat. Use Thrawn to feed Death Trooper or Nihulus.
