Take Nightsister Acolyte with Nightsister Zombie and you can defeat almost everyone. Acolyte will always be in stealth and only AOE can reach her while Zombie will be constantly dying. But what if we go further and take squad: Nute (leader), Acolyte, Leia, Geonosian Spy and Zombie. Leia, Spy and Acolyte will always be in stealth and can destroy any meta team while Zombie is reviving. Is it fair? I think no. Devs should do something with this Zombie with it's overpowered revive skill. Devs please make something because their are ruining the game.Video from AhnaldT101 demonstrate this problem:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa5ClsASgK4

You're just riding on the back of all the whales (I'm not a whale--more like a baby dolphin--but at least I contribute). It makes me wonder how many players have truly spent nothing on the game.Firstly, nobody mentioned money. Bringing it up just to talk bad about ftp is unnecessary. Secondly, ftp don't "ride on the back of all the whales". Without ftp - a vast majority of the playerbase - there wouldn't be anyone to whale against, and no game. I've spent a fair amount of money on the game myself, and I think it's immoral that you think people have to spend money on a free game. If this was an independently developed/published game, I'd be more inclined to agree with you. But this is EA. They don't need to bleed everyone dry to make their mountains of cash. You do realize that the casual spenders are being outpriced (ie crystal booster going away) solely because of the whales' willingness to drop loads of cash, right? There were a lot of people that only bought the booster and don't spend at all now. The whales have nobody to blame but themselves. Well, EA gets some blame too.

It's stupid that very poor team can beat much stronger teams due to unstopable reviving! Something must be done with Zombie!

Wedge lead is prolly even better, than at least Leia heals (for when facing AOE teams).

Han shoots first. B2 likes stealth people.

New Nightsister Zombie is imbalanced

Just for the record, I got really excited when I saw this and tried it in the arena. I got beaten 9000 times and went down from sub-100 to #238. So it aint so great, lemme tellya.

It’s better at the top of arena, where there are so many CLS lead teams that either you have CLS or you have a team designed to counter CLS. That means no AOE, because rebels will counter and do crazy damage on your own turn. With everything being single target it’s extrrmely tough to take out Acolyte before she hits stealth. As you get lower in arena there is less and less CLS and therefore AOE can still be used.

What can be better with Zombie - make her ability to revive everytime to need a zeta! And it will improve the game greatly.

... and make nightsister zombie worthless without a zeta. That's not a reasonable solution. Make the pretaunt a zeta possibly, but Shore and Baze pretaunt without a zeta.

Guess what? Shoretrooper and Baze are EASIER to acquire than Zombie. No one will have the zombie you are complaining about for something like 2 years unless they spend money.

If what you are really complaining about is the gimmick between acolyte and zombie, then you're just going to have to cope. New gimmicks like that are always coming out and are unstoppable until someone comes up with a new team.

This comp you are complaining about is a perfect example of how new things that seem broken are perfectly beatable just by moving away from the META a bit.

In order to keep things interesting EA will ALWAYS introduce things to shake up the META. Zombie is doing EXACTLY what she was intended to do. Everyone complained when Zaul took over arena. Then everyone complained when Zaul got driven out of arena. Then people complained about Thrawn, Next was CLS. Now we have you complaining about Zombie... a brand new Pay to play character.

It's the way things go man. You're complaining about power creep, which is not only something that isn't going anywhere, it is something that is absolutely necessary for this game to continue to be viable over an extended period of time.

So true - any Vader / Maul or even DN-led Sith team would slice right thought this - Wedge also.

So, I'm returning after a long break and, maybe I missed something, but it doesn't seem that Zombie is f2p.

For clarity, I literally reinstalled the game this morning so it is possible that I missed an event or something.

ProximaB1 is correct, but to add a little more information--the event that gives a 2* zombie is recurring. There are two tiers of it, and the First Time Completion bonus for each tier will give enough shards to unlock it, so if you're the right level (I forget what level that is, sorry) you'll still be able to get it as a free player.

So no worries, you missed out, but next month you'll get it and only be, maybe, a dozen shards behind the rest of us.

it's just common sense: if you enjoy a service, the right thing to do is reward those providing that service. It's really not a difficult concept to grasp.

Can you help me out here and tell me how many hundreds of dollars I should pay for the priviledge of being able to play this game?

1 time the worth of a brand new console? Twice? Five times?

I had played the game for months without purchasing anything. It bothered me because I like the game so much. So every so often I buy a few crystals as a thank you to EA. But I guess that's dumb.

Whatever rocks your boat :)

The very notion that nute led acolyte + zombie & leia is unbeatable is about as bright as the notion of making a poopy flavored lolipop.

The point ahnaldt101 makes is that it the combo can break the stagnation of a cls/rebel dominated shard.

Thats the point, force the others players to use something diffrent, and all the variations of NS teams are doing that... not a single variation is unbeatable, not by a longshot. BUT it does force players to use something besides Cls led rebels which were all (mostly) sick and tired of. I see imperial troopers in the top 50 of my shard now! In response to all the NS teams... so in summary, hallelujah! Finally some variation!

Actually, it doesn't even mean that. It just means they need to have Baze, B2, or DT

Baze, dont really do much though... just wittle aeay his protection then after asajj gets a crit on him... use MT's spirit blade assault and he is dead. Same with B2... DT is a threat though cause he can terminate nightsisters.
