The best way to clear the last tier is to use the Nightsisters. If you have trouble against Sidious, you will not even scratch Nihilus...

Nah, never failed Nihilus. Sidious that was the problem.
To Op, use NS team - I just put it on auto, especially if you have zombie.
I had hell with my 9-10 gear phonixes. You need to use Sabin’s And Zeb stagger and kanan’s offense down. So Hera’s assist should go on kanan (as he is a Jedi he misses Sidious often).

Sidious is the bigger threat than Nihilus at least for a Phoenix squad. I'm also struggling at the highest tier every time because I have other priorities than further gearing up my Phoenix squad. I need ~10 attempts to get the RNG right, which means Zeb should get his turn and stagger Sid while he has a lot of TM and there shouldn't be too many dodges against Ezra. However, if I get past Sidious without losing a toon I always win. Nihilus is not a problem even though he annihilates someone on his first turn but if it's forced on Kanan or Chopper via taunt that doesn't matter. I'm not sure if using Sabine instead of Ezra is a good idea, especially if he's at a higher gear level than the others. Yes, Sidious dodges a lot against jedi but all the other waves are a cakewalk with Ezra and he does give extra attacks to Hera which means more exposes.
FYI: My squad is Ezra G11, Chopper G9, Hera, Zeb, Kanan all G8.

I can auto it with NS, but when I first finished it I used Talzin lead, Ventress, Daka, Talia and Hera. Hera made sure that Daka revived if killed by aoe and Daka can revive everyone. After the aoe it was easy, just use abililities to put on as many plague as possible. I didnt even had zetas on my NS that time.

FYI: My squad is Ezra G11, Chopper G9, Hera, Zeb, Kanan all G8.

You finished the last tier with that Squad ?! Nice !
My Phoenix are all G10 full Omega (no Zeta) but even if I get past Sidious, I can't seem to do any real damage to Nihilus... while the Sisters just fly over the whole event even with lower gear (10/9) thanks to Talzin's Plague.

My experience as well. Multiplying Hera exposes with Ezra assists works great against both Sid and Nihilus. It reduces reliance on stagger timing because both are going down more quickly.
My squad: Ezra G12, Chopper G10, Hera G9, Zeb and Kanan G8
full-auto for tier 1+2, semi-auto for tier 3 (1-2 tries).
With lower gear Ezra in the past I used an accuracy arrow mod on him to make sure his damage output would work reliably even against Sid.

Strong enough ns combined with a high tolerance for repetition. If OD survives the first area attack, just keep heaping plague on DS till he expires.

As several have said, NS with Ventress lead. Poor Sid never even moves. ;)

I just auto it with NIghtsisters and most of the time its fine. It's also important to note I dont have any Zetas on them

Ventress lead with talia for stagger, Sid never moves like said.

I can reliably auto the last tier with G12 Ezra and the rest G9 with decent mods.You're going to want to gear Ezra and Sabine for raids anyway, so it's not a bad investment.
