Arena strategy for the Nightsisters with the "new" Acolyte

I a huge fan of NS on this game. Fully zeta’d g12 gear with exception of zombie.

As much as I’d love to see them make a comeback in arena...I don’t see it happening as long as sith are in arena. I’ll see some NS squads enter the top 50 sometimes but then a few hours later their gone.

I think the impact will be negligible. The NA / zombie strategy only works against teams without an AOE character, so her loss of TM gain won’t impact the squad that much. Plus with double the damage while stealthier it might actually work to your advantage. Better chance of getting a kill and resurrecting a toon.

Replace Acolyte with Spirit, and you'll generally have a much stronger team. This was true before the change as well. You'll not be invincible against non-aoe teams, but you will likely win against all those teams anyway and against many teams you couldn't before as well.

(provided fairly equal mods and strong enough spirit that is)

I’ve always felt Spirit is better too and everyone shakes their head at me when I say that. Lol
Spirit hits like a truck and foresight seems much better than stealth especially against aoe attacks.

I hardly ever lose a fight to NS using Palintine, Vader, Darth maul or Grand Moff, Sith Trooper and Darth Nihilus. To be honest, I seek out NS and tear them up, haven't lost a battle in some time now. What's the big hype to the NS? As far as I see, they're no challenge in the arena.

i have never used the nightsisters, however my team can beat them nearly every time, even when they are stronger than i am.

the only time i cant beat them is when they have assaj, talia talzen, old daka and the spirit (i cant remember the name).

I run NS on one of my accounts, and Nightmare on another. I have no trouble beating NS with Nightmare, but I also have very little trouble beating the Nightmare teams with my NS. You can definitely use NS in the arena, just be prepared to be active because you'll need to climb back up every day from dropping. NS are an easy target on offence unless you run CLS rebels or JTR or something.

ok, got the update. acolyte lost her scond attack.
her basic doesn‘t ignore foresight!
she cannot call two sisters „out of the grave“...

for me it is a downgrade...

If they were going to nerf the character in every game mode because of the Sith raid, they should have included some buffs to balance it out.

ok, since the rework of acolyte it is very hard to win against bastila teams!
