Anyone have a nightsister squad?

I put some time into farming them before hopping online to research and learn they are not that good.

They got a little better with the last update by avoiding nerf and getting a few small buffs. Still generally just too slow.

What about Asajj? Her leadership has nightsisters gain 28 speed, that's more than QGJ

Yeah, thats the most depressing thing about it. Even with Ventress leadership, their base speed is so low that even buffed, they are slower than many chars base speed. Like Rey and Leia have 164. Ventress has base 98. Talia has 109. Initiate has 112.

The point of synergy should be to make great characters even better, not to make mediocre characters less terrible.

That's true, I remember reading somewhere on the forums that synergies were going to be more relevant after the update. Too bad.

I might have to sit on this idea for a while.

We had a squad on our shard that was nightsister; I think the guy was cheating somehow because he got to level 70 wayyyy too fast. (I am p2p and think I was level 52 when he hit 70)

His squad power was 5k more than mine and I could beat them pretty good.... not sure I played him after the update though and I think he has since been banned as he hasn't seemed to play since the update.

I used to run Asajj lead with Daka ... It was OK, but in Arena Asajj is hopelessly bugged, so she is a liability. I have her benched. Tried out NI, and her max critted damage on special was barely 5k ....it's too bad as I like idea of NS team in principle.

I haven't seen a nightsisters team on the top 20 on my server (it is a mature server, been playing since early december) for the last 2.5-3 months. I think that may tell you how good they are.

There is one guy in my server running assaj lead daka RG QGJ and rey and its not all that bad. he played rank 5-15 daily. There are many better options i feel but hey more power to this guy. I also am on a pretty mature server. starting playing in November 2015

I use mine for the first half to 2/3 of GW. They are fun. Only one I have maxed is Ventress though. I have the shards to 7* Initiate, but credit crunch is killing me.

I run Ahsoka (L), Ventress, Daka, Talia, and Initiate. If I lose Talia (lowest level) I swap in RG or Lumi when I need an extra heal. They don't hit that hard but they are great at surviving. Battles last awhile. I'd expect several draws in Arena.

I plan to Max the team out after I get my last 3 Jedi from 6 to 7*.

Nightsister squads will likely become viable soon, provided they release Luce in the near future (datamined toon).
