DN lead against NS

Anyone try this? I feel like the health regen will cleanse and counter the plague.
Currently torn on my next gear and considering Sith for the sake of DSTB, Sith Raid, Arena (NS counter), and TW (a generally decent team).

Otherwise I’m considering an Empire based EP (DSTB, TW)
Or NS themselves (TW, NS counter, not DSTB since Zombie is 4*)

    Based off my experience (and I haven't a toon too g12 yet) I don't think it'll be enough to keep plauge off assuming equal mods. Nightsisters are real stun heavy and that'll take a big ugly dump on that crucial first turn of healing.

    That said, I do think Nihilus lead will win most of the time tho. Between DN, EP and DV they'll be plenty of aoe, so Acoylte will have a hard time. Add Sass and stir in one more Sith.


    Yeah it’s the stuns I’m most worried about in this matchup. Forgot to consider Acolyte.. but they do have some decent AoE’s

    I simply add TFP in my lineup for 10 min specially for NS


    Ooo TFP, good idea
  • An emperor lead or empire team can tear into NS.

    Palp, TFP, Shore, DV, Storm prolly clean house

    Imp troopers already known as counters

    I suspect Palp, DV, Sass, DN, +1 would be rather sucsessful

    You've really got options here. But, I think DN lead would be a poor choice compared to EP and even Zader

    EP lead zVader shore thrawn and tarkin also take NS apart quite handily
  • Nightsisters are the biggest gimmick i ever seen in this game,Im glad their time is over,itll get even better when Grievous and separists get their rework...i cannot wait!!

    Yeah, the troopers. Mine aren’t strong enough to beat the arena NS, unless perhaps I move mods around, but I don’t want to.

    An EP Empire team is something I’m considering. Only thing that makes me want to tilt in favor of DN lead is that it’s all Sith and itd double up for that new Sith Raid.

    Guildmate convinced me to go NS though since he believes Zombie should be F2P soon
  • A significant part of JT Rey teams is the exposes... Turning your protection into health means they'll take you down quick. Against other teams... It might work. My DN isn't arena worthy yet, and I wouldn't risk it even if he was, but if anyone wants to try it...
  • I didn’t read all the comments, but I run a NS team in Arena and 4/5 times beat every team. The issues that I have are: Palp doesn’t get stunned I’m in trouble, AOE dmg hurts the sisters bad. So tenacity palp will help. Get a Zavage in there because it might force them to put the initiate in the team over another champ to buff block. However, the stacks on Zentress with the Talzin “bring the hate” move will kill him eventually.

    All that said, a Maul lead is the way to go vs the sisters. They can’t focus on a toon because of the stealth and that hurts them.

    NOTE: I don’t run Spirit yet because she is presently not strong in my inventory.

    Team is: Talzin lead (no zeta yet, probably another two weeks for that) Acolyte, zombie, daka, Zentress (unique zeta)
