I'm currently developing a NS team specifically for raids and GW defense. I just want to hear from you guys your ideas on what team is the most devastating defensively?

Probably First Order. Usable in all three raids, and with KRU’s lead zeta they’re great for TW defense.

The best defensive team is the one that the enemy underestimates. Its crazy when I see a single Cls having 15+ battles at defense..

In TW your goal for a defensive team is to have more than one defense. Your goal is to have your opponent have to use more than one team to take them out. As odd as it sounds, the team that does that most consistently is First Order, specifically zKru, FOO, FOE, Ren, FOST. Every single TW we do our FO get multiple defenses sometimes even 5-10. We’re a 150m gp guild. For overall consistency and number of defenses, it has been my experience that nothing beats FO in that regard, aside from perhaps Traya. You need them decently modded of course with a high emphasis on speed, especially FOO. With the bonuses they get in TW plus the fact they regen health and protection from KRU’s lead, they are built for multiple defenses.

Still got the first 3 standing, with the first 2 full health & protection.I think this is a lower gp vs higher gp thing. Most higher gp guilds should have plenty to take out squads like that. In fact, Qira lead plus Nest can take that team out and Qira doesn’t even need to be geared. She can die turn 1 and Nest will solo the team. Lower gp guilds will have issues though.There is not a chance nest is going to kill that team by herself in less than 5 minutes.....Here’s the video showing it. https://youtu.be/JDgO1zqfGak

So besides cls, who are other great characters to hide in weak teams?

A wall of NS with Nest as 5th in TW can be quite tough to breach through.

That actually sounds great too. That could potentially counter the troopers!

Similar logic to this - make a weak team very fast to catch them by surprise. Troopers work well doing this, and FO. Troopers especially so as once they've killed someone they are much trickier.

The problem is Nest is so good in a lot of teams. You want to use teams where they are most effective. Nightsisters are simply more effective on offense. I’d rather use them to take out a JTR or Bastila team on offense then leave them in on defense where they could get slaughtered by Troopers or force me to use Nest on the team when I could use Nest on my Traya team for defense, Qira team on offense, etc.

@ikky2win: I definitely get the point you're making about them being much more efficient on offense. The main reason I'm pushing so hard for defense is that I'm pretty new to the game and got invited to a solid guild. I want to contribute in tw more. I dont have like 20 different squads that are viable, so offense isnt the best area for me to contribute. I figure 5+ defenses is worth much more that defeating a single squad and then losing that offensive team. So that's why I really want to use them for defense now. My tw shard is pretty medium strength, no trayas in sight right now.

zSavage, 3* level 50 Ugnaught, 3* level 25 CUP, 4* Level 62 Lobot, and 3* Level 1 Rose.

Point is, the rest of the toons can be complete trash, and the trashier the better. zSavage cannot be beat by a trash team, so Him+Trash is better. Need to make sure Savage is modded for 30k+ health.

In that case it really depends on what your guild needs. Just ask your guildmates. I don’t know of any nightsister teams that will get more than one defense. I only have perspective from my guild and our opponents though. TW can vary widely based on your guilds roster, gp, and participation so it may very well be that the opponents your guild faces don’t have a good solution to defeating nightsisters. That’s just where communicating with your guild comes in seeing what the guild needs.
