How to beat Palp/Vador/taunt as Nightsisters

Don’t be so pessimist man, the meta is actually rock paper scissors, I also wasted 4 zetas on NS and I can nearly auto Rey and CLS teams with 30k more power than me.
NS > Rey/CLS
Palp > NS
and Rey > Palp ? I’m not very sure for that one.

I also think Palp teams can be beaten by NS, but we have to find the way to.

I know the NS haters love this but I don't. I wasted 4 zetas on my NS team. My slowest one being a speed of 224. Even scrub palp teams destroy NS. I thought this meta would be a rock/paper/scissors type of arena but it's not...it's gonna be rock/paper with the 2 teams of Rey vs Palp.


Thanks devs for making my exspencive NS team useless now. My wallet and 2 years of playing time thanks you:(

Oh yeah OP...I had to switch to Palp in order to stay competitive so I don't have a reliable NS strategy to beat Palp using NS.

Arena is not all. NS are still good against other teams. And also good in TW/TB. I spent 3 zetas (4th coming soon) on FOs and don't regret it since I like their gameplay. It's a full faction team for TB/TW for me since they're also not good enough for Arena.

2 option:

1. Switch to palp team like everyone else, and
2. Avoid battle with them.

:frowning:

I’m beating EP teams with my NSs about one in ten tries. When I do, I think it’s due to getting lucky with a few early stuns, which allows me to get plague going. If the first stun attempts are resisted, though, then I’m usually defeated without taking more than a couple turns.

This has been fine for a while, because I beat Rey teams every time. But EP teams are taking over arena as people switch from Rey teams. It might be almost all EP soon. That will be a problem for me, because my mods are weaker—which is why I liked NS (they’re more forgiving of weaker mods).

I wouldn't think EP teams will take over entirely. They tend to struggle VS Rey teams.

If I had to guess, EP teams will just take all the spots that CLS teams used to be.

I use zAsajj (L), zDaka, Zombie, Talzin & zThrawn.
It's a bit rng dependent but I tend to win 3 times out of 4. :)

That could turn out to be true generally, but my arena already had almost zero CLS teams in the top 50 after Rey took over, and now EP is replacing those at a fast pace.

The problem isn't the taunt, it's the health recovery. NS teams depend on plague as the main damage source, and EP teams recover a lot of health all the time, cancelling plague.
The Empire is almost the direct counter to NS. Your best option is to switch teams. That being said, Ventress lead should with a bit better, since you could make sure the take a lot less turns. You'd still get wrecked on defense, but you should have an offensive chance.

Actually, if you can stun palpatine and takw him out, everything is fine. Asajj lead gives a needed damage boost against Palp, the TMR helps control him and Nihilus, and if need be, you can put in han for GK and just stun palp immediately, then just use the Tmr and stuns from asajj lead and daka to control them for the rest of battle.

Don't you guys think that we can improve NS teams by adding a 5th member that can help beating Plap teams?

For me B2 seemed to work pretty well for 3/4 fights, I think I will try him out for few more fights to be sure that it was no luck

Spend some more money on NS spirit.
She is very fast, amd her opening stun dispels taunt

She is my fifth already.
