Darth Sidious Viability with EP Lead

Has anyone experimented with Sidious using EP lead? Someone with both at 7* and max gear? I'm curious to know if Sidious extra dots will propel Vader's ability into astronomical numbers.

His main issue was health and damage before but with additional health and health on dot, and the added boost to Vader would it be worthwhile?

Ultimately I want to try EP (L), Vader, Darth Sidious, Snowtrooper, and either Tarkin, Dooku, or Savage.

    Am I to take it that no one is able to set up this combination? I am so close to maxing out my Palpatine but my DS is sitting with 5 stars and enough shards to get to 7, but he is only gear 8.

    I have my Darth Sidious at 7*, G8 and 1 crappy mod. He's alright. Definitely nothing too special right now. I do enjoy using him though but I don't have Palpatine yet so can't personally test it. From what I've heard, Palpatine doesn't make him too much better, but like I've said, haven't tested it myself or bumped into it yet.

    I've tried and it's not good enough. Mine is 7* and g9, Palp is maxed. Yeah it's nice that Sid helps with dots and Vader culling blade is even more deadly, but Sid still a weak toon for arena. You can have some fun at GW with that strategy though.

    What kind of hitpoints does Sid have when you put health mods on him and pair him with EP lead?

    I'd like to run a full Empire / Sith team once I get my guys maxed out just trying to see where I should invest in gear and credits. I feel like Snowtrooper and Vader are a must. My uncertainty is with Sid, Tarkin, Dooku, and Savage.

    I don't remeber well how was his stats, tried twice and seemed too weak for arena. I would like to run a full empire/sith squad, but so far, u won't be able to even fight for top 20 as i seen.

    Check this thread u will find a lot of info:

    Palp will be increasing the potency and health of Sidious, but not his attack.
    Sidious attack has increased marginally from lvl 70 to 80, and so is the health. I think adding him to Palp team will help him to put the health blocks more often. And if you have Vader then you can take advantage of the dots.
    I do not have any mods on my Sidious, but probably you can add offense and speed mods of him to make him viable.

    Yeah, Sidious can push out a massive amount of DoTs for Darth Vader to take advantage of. I just wish Sidious could hit a bit harder with his basic and special.
