I would like someone to confirm this, preferably a developer or someone from the inside. I'm sure we all know about the deadly combo of nightsister zombie and acolyte. The permanent stealth and the permanent revive which can take down full meta squads on its own.What i want is to get a confirmation on whether this this is legit or if it's an exploit. Does it work as intended or is this a byproduct of poor testing? If I'm going to invest in a nightsister team I need to know that this won't be patched in a the next few weeks cause bonestly that would be disappointing if I got through the trouble of farming and gearing these characters. A response from a dev or someone who knows 100% what's going is preferred!

It can be countered with one magical thing: AoE. Oh and killing Acolyte first.

Cause I've smashed them many times but they were g10 and with missing stars. Killing acolyte won't do much good if she's gonna be revived right away by old daka. You have to have tons of crowd control as well as good damage cause this team is tripple threat. If you focus acolyte then you risk talzin cursing you. If you focus talzin then you risk acolyte going stealth. Meanwhile if you ignore daka then she might revive whoever you killed.Also don't forget that their leadership gives them speed and if they have good speed mods then you might be so lucky

You face a CLS team and the second you use an aoe you are dead. So beating a NS team only to use your rank 2 mins later to a CLS team ain't all that magical

You realize you can pick which team to battle right? “Every team is a NS team”Then use an AOE team“But CLS...”(Go back to top)

He gets the NS squad's rank without needing to beat the NS squad, much like a hyena steals meat that a lion has just killed.

First of all to be in top you need to get good mods for you ns team and g12.
I run ns squad with zztalzin and zasajj. Now time for daka. However my asajj with her skill got about 300speed at the beginning. Daka and acolyte are around 290. Potency is also important to stun enemies. Not dropping from top10 even during night and my server is full of p2p players just like me.
In offense i can win easly against any squad. Problem appears in def when zolo used to stun daka. But if you will get good speed mods you may win even in defense against rebels squad. Wont win against empire as they goin to crash u.

But good thing is most players wont change them squad only to beat you as they might be easy target using empire so NS is avoided very often.

Even the devs can't awnser your question. Nothing in this game is set in stone, they can buff/nerf any character at any time. They might not be planning on doing so currently, but they can reconsider at any point in time.
This holds true for every character and team, it's always a gamble. However, nerfs don't happen very often, they very rarely nerf actually, so i wouldn't worry about it when chosing a character/team to invest in.

So this is broken because the team that counters it also has a counter? I’m confused...

To answer your question, yes, it is working as intended. The only reason this strategy is successful is because it counters what is currently in the meta. Right now CLS is so overpowered that either you have CLS or you have something designed to counter CLS. The zombie/Acolyte combo NS team eats that up. As soon as CLS leaves the meta NS will go with him.

Who says current meta can't beat that combo? And this was not even perfectly played.
