Are Zaul Teams Still Viable?

Right, so I'm approaching my first zeta, and I'm deliberating who to put it on. Sith are my most heavily invested faction and I'm currently running a Nihlus lead in arena, but IMO his zetas don't seem to make him significantly enough better to make much of a difference (his unique might be good as a 3rd/4th zeta, but not my first).
I'm thinking about putting it on Maul and using him as my new leader, but has he been made redundant now or is he still worth the investment? It seems that he stopped being viable due to rex leads, but my arena shard has very few of them, and he could be a good CLS counter.
I was also considering putting my zeta on Savage, but it seems a bit wasted under a Nihlus lead (HoT and crit chance/dmg up are redundant), and the only other lead I could run him under would be Maul, and without the zeta, Maul's lead isn't anything special.
Here's my SWGOH; https://swgoh.gg/u/wheelbarrow/
  • I'm still getting top 20 with Zaul, but R2 is Avery hard counter.

    Pros: AOE daze, speeds up Nihilus
    Cons: AOE everything else if your daze doesn't land

    On my day1 shard there is not a single Zaul anymore in top50. Take your own conclusion from this ;)


    So what you're trying to say... that Zaul is due for a comeback?

    What I'm trying to say is that every single player in our Top50 beats up Zaul teams like nothing. A nice example for this is a shardmate who swapped in Zaul against one specific Jedi squad to get to rank 1 and forgot to swap it out again. He dropped to somewhere near rank 100 overnight. And that even was before CLS/AnH reworks xD
    And if you want to predict what will happen on newer shards you just have to look at old shards.
  • ^^ have to say I agree. If you haven't already seen it, you soon will. An influx of CLS and R2 backed by others rebels doling out serious damage. You'd be lucky to survive two rounds. And that is with a decent tank.
    ZMaul provides no answers.
