Best All-Sith Squad for Arena?

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.

This is the truth, i have all the sith with zeta on savage and he cant get in the team, Dn lead, Troop, Sass, Dooku and EP is the best team but (shard dependant) youll sit around 30th with all the lukes around now, i've adapted it to DN lead ST and Zolo Z2d2 and imminently zeia which is performing far better with some very good speed mods

same name on swgoh for reference

The Sith teams that tend to give me trouble always include a Maul lead with Nihilius and Savage. If Maul can keep Nihilius stealthed long enough that he can us his death-punch, I'm in trouble. Luckily, it rarely gets to that point :lol:

It is almost like CLS is a broken toon. especially when you put Rebels like R2 and zOGHan behind him.

The strongest sith teams I fight have zsavage in them for sure. As others have said, if zNihilus is your lead, Dooku is great with all the healing on counters

If you aren't 100% Sith devoted, you could try a different variation of the classic "hide the Nihilus" theme. Here is one that I have seen work well:

zSavage(L), zDN, Sith Trooper, GK and zBarriss.

The defense from Savage makes Sith Trooper a wall of unkillable power. Barriss, GK and Savage keep DN debuff free so he can go to town. The key is to keep your DN as fast as possible to keep the buffs on Sith Trooper.

Zaul against the counter teams, nihilus vs zarris and anything eles but luke lead with countering

Vader, SA, Sith trooper, DN, zSidious. Not top arena but enough to win for top 200. I still believe in Vader's power :smile:

The only decent All-sith team imho :

Nihilus (L)
Sith Trooper
Sith Assasin
Savage Opress (his zeta skill is the 1st you should get in a sith team)
Dooku
Sith are no way meta anymore. Although DN lead will counter Zariss & GK, so the idea has some merit.

i stopped read at vader. so useless even when leader.

anyway, for your question. few things:
1) Zaul is dead. he cant be good leader anymore. The 20% TM at start is all he gives. not good enough.
2) SithTrooper and DN are must.
3) palp is anti rebel, and will be the one to crush the rebellion when get 2 zetas.
4) you need daze, shocks to fight CLS L teams, you need to NOT hit crits when fighting GK zarris.
5) id suggest have 7 great mod sets and just swap toons sometimes when needed. expensive, but getting #1 with siths isnt easy at all. the big problem with this will be CD mods. you'll want them on Palp L, dont want them on DN L. DN lead is much cheaper, since you can just stack Hp, Protection and offense. (maul for example, wont need potency since his protection converted to Hp, and he dont need 66 CD anymore, so you can easily put some BIG offense and BIG hp/protection instead of spread everything thin)
6) because you need daze - Maul and dooku. because you need shock/stuns/ability blocks - Palp and dooku.

so... if its Palp Leading : Zavage/Zooku, DN, SithTrooper, Maul/SA.
if its DN leading : SithTrooper, Maul, Zooku, SA/Savage.

Vader and sidious won't do good.
