Current team: 4* zBastila (L), zzGMYoda, zEzra, GK, 5* zHermit Yoda. All are gold-ringed except Basti and Hermi. I get stopped somewhere around 15-20 in the arena. I started playing Nov 2015 - the month the game launched. So it's a pretty competitive shard.
I can take down Emperor Palpatine (L) teams - no problem. Every time.
I can take out mirror matches by swapping Ezra out for my G12 zVentress. All it takes is one round where WE have our buffs and they don't (because Ventress took 'em off) and they're done for.
I. Cannot. Beat. A Traya lead.
For those of you reading this and using Sith, whenever I see someone in the arena running Palpatine lead *but they have Traya in their party* I'm like, BAD MOVE! ...I can crush Palp lead. You should always run Traya lead if you have her. At least against Jedi.
Anyway, the team that's killing me is Traya (L), Sion, Sith Trooper, Palpatine, Thrawn. I spend all my time trying to kill the Trooper, and as soon as I do, I'm blocked by Sion's taunt and have to work on him. By the time he's almost dead, he's got his super-resurrect on and it's pointless. Traya's isolated GK, Thrawn's fractured someone (probably Ezra or GM Yoda, my primary damage dealers) and it's game over.
I don't know if this is a matter of my Bastila and Hermit not being 7-starred and G12? Or if at that level of arena play, their mods are just better than mine? Or if I'm missing something on strategy or team composition...? I've tried replacing GK with zOld Ben (switching tanks), and zEzra with zOld Ben (TWO tanks), and zEzra for zVentress (to dispell taunts, which is pointless, because they come back too quickly) and zEzra for Visas (but she's not zeta'd yet and only G11, so she isn't impressing me much).
Any advice from any of you? And for those of you running Traya lead, feel free to smirk and feel good - that team is a headache and a half!

You just have to use something that works. Adding Thrawn is always smart... To almost any line up. Nihilus, as well. I don't understand how you don't have them both fully maxed if you've been playing that long. I get you are light side and all... But they are so darn fun to use. As for adding someone else... Check your mods. Speed kills, but it is not always the only answer. A good combo of attributes can often make the difference. I don't run then against Traya lead... It is detrimental to their health!
