Zaul + Sith Assassin, Team comp and how is it working?

Feb 2016 shard, top 10 finish each day

zMaul (g11), SA (3* g9), Spy (g10), EP (g11), Shoretrooper (g10) -- the stealth & TM death squad...

(depending on the opponent, I will sub in TFP or SF for Spy.)

SA is like the JE for Siths. But don't tell anyone, I'm currently the only one on my shard using her.)

-teams I don't like facing: other zMaul-led squads; Zader squads are a pain as well but suddenly Chaze teams aren't such a hurdle. And Jedis get their lunch money pocket-checked.

Pretty self explanatory. After stealth bug fix she gives 12% boost to sith, added onto 20% from Zaul lead generally gets her first move. Who do you surround her and maul with?

Anyone who is running her in arena we'd love to hear what's working, what's not and who you don't like facing.

Four videos showing this combo in a full Sith team.

I didn't record my battles vs Rex lead triple cleanse teams, which is just as well because it's a nightmare vs those.

You crit automatically at the start putting them up to full tm.

Rex Chaze GK?

It's a nasty combo! Love running it.

I'm running zaul (L), DN, EP, Assasin, and GK. All 7* and max gear besides GK who is 6*. Honestly it's not the best team I could run but it's probably the most fun. I'm actually liking assassin more than DN and I think she is the hidden gem in this group. Decent health and decent damage, but massive utility. Before her I ran a max kylo in her place and she fits this team better. I win on offence about 50% of the time against other zaul comps but it's cool as every battle is a little different which keeps me interested. I have no regrets on running this team and will do it for awhile. Biggest issue I have now is if I give the next zeta (which I have) to DN (unique) or Sid (swap him for EP) or just hold it for now.
