Mod set for sion

I run Sion in a nightmare setup and I usually end up top three. My Sion is 4*/G11 and I compete with a few whales who bought him first day.

I run my Sion with a speed set and a potency set. The speed set gets him 233 speed, which is +96, not bad for a Dec 2017 shard... and the potency helps land that Pain.

Triangle is Crit Damage, Circle and Square are Protection.

do you think it matters if sion is 3 or 4 stars? i'm just curious 'cause since i'm f2p, debating on whether it's worth zetaing him even at 3 stars. I figured eventually i'll farm him. I don't particularly need him at the moment, but wondering whether having a low star sion will make me too much of a target in arena.

cheers

I'm in the same boat. Completely f2p as well. My sion is only 3 * and I'm putting his zeta on him in a few days. I heard he's still viable at 3 * but he needs his zeta

ok thanks for the help, yeah i figured he needs his zeta, as the nightmare teams i fight makes it so that i basically have to avoid hitting him from triggering pain on myself, it's really quite annoying to work around

You don't need potency under EP lead, that's an extra 35% right there to go with Sion's 47% base. More than enough.

I run 4* Sion at 222 speed and 80k ehp and he does very well. I have him modded for health and crit chance. Can get close to 90k if I go for protection. He turns from a GK-light at start of battle to CLS-light at end.

I think there is a real argument he should be around 200 speed. His buff wipe going after the other teams big cooldowns like stealth or tenacity up make a big difference.

I run him with all health, and speed secondaries. He's much more survivable at 5* than 3* or 4*. With thrawn I can make him go faster if needed.

What exactly is the nightmare team I keep seeing people refer to?

Emperor Palpatine, Sith Trooper, Darth Vader, Darth Sion, Darth Nihilus

He definitely needs his zeta to function correctly. I've been running zzEP/thrawn/zSion/Nihilus/Vader ( all g12+ except 5* maxed Sion) for a good bit now, and without his zeta he almost always died before he got to Hatred. I've tried both standard Nightmare with a g12+1 Sith Trooper, and non-zeta thrawn, and the thrawn config works much more reliably, especially against JTR squads. He needs as much speed as possible, at least +100 to start, and stacking protection on the triangle, cross, and circle to make sure he can take any counters or assist chains from cls and JTR. A speed set is best to hurry him to Hatred ASAP, if you have enough to spare after modding Vader and nihilus as fast as possible.

Speaking in a broader term, how do you mod the Sith team?

Palpatine, Vader, Nihilus, Sion, +1 (Thrawn, Shoretrooper, Sith Trooper, Tarkin, Assassin...)
