ZEp leading a Traya triumvirate? :)

EP, Sion, Nil, Thrawn and either BSF or Vader.
If I had Traya then would likely be top 5 again. (was pre Revan)

Good thing about mods is you can move them to your next team. Mods stay between metas. Working on them is essential

Hey guys. Starting out i have to say i dont have palp because i despise phoenix squad.

Liked the show, but for some reason dislike Phoenix in game also and have not acquired them.

That said you can get EP without Phoenix, just need rebels and there are lots of good rebels out there worth having.

Arena is about speed. If you don't have EP snd don't plan to get him ZMaul + A really fast Sith Assasin will help a lot. Maul is a great leader and the only reason he fell out of favor is because R2. Sith Assassin works really well with maul lead. I don't run them in arena but my g8 ZMaul team with a 240 speed Assassin works really well in taking out g10-g12 teams in GA. Just avoid R2. Also Dooku + 3* fallen Bastilla and Assassin all have shock...

My team is Maul Sid Assasin Trooper and Nasty Basty. Replace Sid with Nihilus and Trooper with Sion and You should do OK. Just avoid R2. Jango might be a problem for this team but not sure. No BH on older stars usually.

I know there is a guy with a ludicrous speed Sith Assassin that never stopped using zMaul, so it can be done.

If you go Maul
avoid r2
jango -spreads burning. Unless you can control him, then go ahead.
avoid bast- accuracy up cancels your lead, especially if GMY gets it

Maybe not what you want to hear, but Phoenix is worth it for Thrawn, and you can get EP with other Rebels in the meantime, you want a lot of those toons for raids and CLS anyway. It's not all about Revan, you should be building strong foundational teams to obtain legendaries and heroes and progress in events and the game in general. You seem to only be ignoring the inevitable.

To follow on the comment from @enltguy about other teams, I got palapatine before there was Phoenix with wedge, Biggs, Lando, stormy Han, and Old Ben.

You will always have problems if you rule out using specific toons, especially if it keeps you fr unlocking others.

I have zetad vader is maul a better lead even without zeta? My next zeta should be coming in 3 months so do I gear maul and switch lead even without zeta?

Well - maye you are new. Sound like 3 months is a long time. I probably get 2 or so a month.

If you are getting them that rarely I would max out an arena team with zetas. Maul is better leader zetaed. But if you have so few Vader may be fine now. Maybe a low star zeta on Sion would help you more. Sion works as 3* depending on where you are in arena and what your shard looks like. Maybe Tarkin even. He is good early game arena.

The problem is that if you are hitting a lot of Bastilla squads then early game sith will struggle. Now you are farming OR anyway then probably should save your zeta for Bastilla lead and switch to Jedi when you can. I think Carth is a good OR lead too but he relies on debuffs and zeta Bastilla will resist those a lot.

Need to build a good arena team, move up, get crystals and upgrade your fleet and move up in fleet. Fleet is super important to get zetas faster. I just can't really give great advice on early game arena. Maybe Google a recent guide? Whatever it is OR farming sounds smart, if you are already down the Revan path.

What is good fleet composition?

Fleet lineup I use to stay in top 10: Biggs Vader FOTie out front, reinforcements Slave1, Houndstooth, Imperial Tie, and Scimitar. Vader's basic inflicts target lock which gives Biggs protection, FOTie has 2 chances on his basic to inflict TL. Reinforce with Scimitar and give Biggs Slip Through if he's healthy, otherwise bring in I Tie if you've got an opponent close to death, or bring out one of the other 2, both taunt on reinforce.
