I'm a mid-level player that has focused mostly on developing my Sith (I don't have a lot of the legendary characters like CLS, R2D2, Thrawn, etc). What would you say is the top Sith team for competing in Arena? I've been playing around with the following two teams:(1) zaul (L), Nihilus, Vader, Sith Trooper, Palpatine(2) Nihilus (L), Vader, Sith Trooper, Palpatine, Dooku

Personally, I don't find any Sith team competitive in arena, or dark side teams at all for that matter...I would think that Nihilis lead may work against the Kenobi Barris teams, though the Luke teams would probably crus you. Not sure on Maul teams though.

I don't have a prayer of being at the top currently. Those G12 CLS teams make easy work of me. I'm just trying to break #50.

I wouldn't use dooku with nihilus lead nor would I invest heavily in any Sith atm.

zavage is great under zaul. especially against crit heavy teams that'll basically dispel him from debuffs. main thing i think you're missing is SA, i've never seen any zaul team i hesitated against without her. she'll speed up your team immensely if all characters are modded correctly in order.

I've found Dooku under Nihilus to be very strong because of all the healing he gets with counter attacks. I've had situations where my whole squad, except for Dooku, gets killed and then Dooku single handedly beats the opposing team.But I don't use Dooku under zaul because he's just too squishy.

So, you would do zaul, Nihilus, zavage, sith assassin, and who?

Zaul(L), Zihilus(WIF), Zavage, SA, and ...

Palpatine or Sith Trooper. Palps give you some stun. ST lets your SA come out from hiding more and protects Zihilus so he can Annihilate. You also want to invest into Speed mods. Spend 100 crystals a day if you are farming stuff out of Catina. If you can spare your Catina energy do a month of farming Speed Mods.

Speed is king in the Arena and I like fighting 5v4. Already killing someone before the opposing team gets to even go is a great advantage.

Nihilus lead is counter-meta right now, and works great against Chaze, GK, Zarris, etc...Nihilus, SiT, SiA, Zavage +1 can be decent...

Sith trooper, Sith assassin and Darth Nihilus are the back-bone of every Sith team. Zavage is almost a must have and Maul can be very useful whether hes lead or not. If you run Nihilus lead, you have to have Dooku.
