1). She makes your Sith wicket fast on turn 1
2). She can help Zavage down a guy w/ one good protection dodging hit

But wicket hasn't been released yet O.o

I had to do a double take on that one. Pretty sure they meant wicked.

Nope, she's insane. Can bypass protection, I've had her almost one shot Kylo. If they are running Savage you can lose a character with a 100k hp just from her stun and Savage overpower.

More importantly she is kind of like a Sith STH, she is one of the fastest sith and gives all the rest TM. Under Zaul you can easily get her over 300 speed. Her and Sith Trooper are two of the best secret weapons.

I love the way she can either one shot or come really close on those high health toons. I loaded mine up with speed and a ton of offense and crit damage. I can't seem to get speed to roll on crit damage mods otherwise I'd have even more. She can be a terror if left alone for too long.

I one-shot a Kenobi with health down with her. She's pretty good.

A must have on any Sith team. And if she's modded for crit damage, watch out.

I ran her for months under Zaul then Zader, was the first to run her, as well as first to run SiT. she was the fastest on my shard before I benched her.

She has her benefits but also some drawbacks to the point I probably wouldn't recommend her anymore unless you are running Zaul+zavage. The higher end Zader teams don't use her anymore since thrawn came out.

By-pass protection seems like the bomb on paper and it is sometimes esp w health down and defense down and you crit which means you have to have the stars line up.

The very big cons
-squishy for a new toon, compare her HPs to DN and R2. Two mediocre hits from a DPS and she's done
-she needs the stars for the damage because dark shroud isn't a game changer in the current arena anymore
-bypass protection is actually worse in many cases. 99 out of 100 aren't going to be killing blow so it requires a second or third bypass protection from anothe SA attack, zavage or SIT.
-many ways to heal health, like chirrut, nullifying her attacks. If you hit zylo, you trigger his outrage bonus - not good.
-electrocute removes all those awesome buffs You collected. I actually stopped using it unless I needed a chance at stunning them. Unless you can crit+follow up w a killing blow it's a wasted attack in addition to losing your buffs.

Her abilities look rather unimpressive, and the free times I have fought her, it wasn't her that hurt me. If I recall, her ability consumes buffs for like a 5% damage boost? 5% max health or just 5%, because Vader's Culling Blade will do +40% per debuff. And she doesn't have the Wiggs +45% offense, or anything like that. So how is it I hear so much about her being so powerful? Is SA legit, or do people simply have her in otherwise OP squads and mistake the SA for being a significant part of that

She's really squishy, but I've seen her do some damage. She fits in some good zMaul teams.

Thanks. That's what my thoughts were. 5% damage to erase my buffs lol. I barely waste purple mats on 5% damage boosts

I've always found her to be overrated. I have her G11 and I actually hate how she bypasses protection. Chaze, wedge leads, Barriss, Nihilus leads, normal health steal, etc.. all just means that they'll regain health which essentially makes your attack pointless. Usually in my experience they'll regain health before my Savage can land his blow.

In a DN lead she is a must (along with SiT) and is amazing if used correctly. I didn't like her at first but studied her and altered what I was doing and now I love her. Simply put she is an amazing and well balanced character that can wreck face and speed up your sith. She isn't a character you auto if you want the most out of her.
