For Zaul Arena team - Sith Trooper or Assassin?

Sith Assassin helps greatly with TM manipulation but Sith Trooper is a good tank and none of the other Sith you have are Tanks (Vader doesn't really count). How fast are your Sith? You ideally want SA to go first (and she will unless modded poorly) followed by EP, Vader then Zaul (Zeta'd Maul). Sidious would be a good fit in here in place of Nihilus with his Expose on Special attack (Omega'd) and should be slowed enough to come after Vader but before Zaul (Zaul's AOE then could presumably kill half the enemy).

If you are planning to run sith assassin this turn order is impossible to attain unless you run all your sith very slow 130-140 speed range, except assassin, she needs to be very fast still.

I'm think about using GK when I unlock him. He's a PITA and more people run him than SA on my Nov 15 shard

Yea trooper is great!! He dodges all the dispells and even if he does get dispelled, he can easily regain taunt back!!
I would totally drop Vader and look into Zavage eventually. He makes zaul teams really fun!!
Nihilus in an all sith squad is very important because of his dispell. Also if you do have Nihilus you could potentially drop ep to pick up a stronger sith that doesn't rely on rng.
Right now I run zaul/Zavage/zooku/ep/gk
Going for zaul/Zavage/zooku/Nihilus/trooper
Gk is alright in the squad but trooper would be better because he has a higher dodge chance and you can trigger his taunt.

I am running, EP G10 (L), Maul G10, Vader G9, Boba G10, and Sith Trooper, 3* G9. Everyone else is 7*. Sith trooper is the reason for my success. No I may not always go first but my Boba throws ability block down and then EP's special gives taunt. From there its game over.

Sith assassin

Here is my character list, https://swgoh.gg/u/duncan7291/collection/. Ive been working on getting speed mods and have several placed on random toons. (For example, I'll pull the +30 speed off Rey and use on SA team). As for tanks, I have some options I can use instead of sith trooper. Just trying to figure out who to 4 star as I will not 4 star both Trooper and Assassin at this time.

@Duncan7291 From what I understand the stars only help Sith Trooper because SA doesn't gain any speed from extra stars

I read that SA stops gaining speed after 4...is it 4 or 3 stars where she stops gaining?

SA is like jawa engineer...Sa is just there to make you go 1st...after that she is just taking up space...

So as a droid user i will tell ya that going first is all that matters. Providing your other toons have got some nutsaks...
