Nightsister Acolyte + Zombie
Do you think this will be a viable duo in any team just to run the clock out? Maybe a Thrawn Kenobi and CLS luke for offense and then nightsisters to run the time out on defense

Hopefully this was unintended and unforeseen and gets resolved quickly. I can't imagine the developers would want squad arena to end up as an endless copy of Talzin / Acolyte / Zombie teams that nobody can get through.
@Kyno Anyway you can change this to the Bugs sub-forum? :-)
This is sarcasm I hope? This team will be terrible on D since any dispeller / AOE character inserted in the lineup will rip it to shreds. The tactic is a nice trick and makes for some sweet videos, but this won't be some broken mechanic people can't get around. I think it was intended and a clever little creation by the devs. There are multiple ways to counter it with ease though.
For once it’s acrually great design. Current meta teams are going to have trouble with this, because they have no way to get Acolyte out of stealth. It’s not as simple as “any dispeller/AOE character inserted into the lineup”. You need either and AOE dispel, which there aren’t many of, or HEAVY AOE damage. Acolyte heals herself on a critical hit, so you can’t just slowly chip away with AOE damage.
This means people have to use different teams to beat NS, which will shake up arena variety. This is absolutely what we need more of. Now let’s hope this new flood of characters with the new movie adds to this concept and doesn’t ruin it all with a new meta group that can beat everyone
The simple Luke L, zolo, thrawn, ben, gk squad can beat this. No need to switch anything up for it.
How are you killing Acolyte with that group? Hoping she has a gap in her stealth?
R2 burn and his aoe will eventually kill her if you just run it on auto. However she is likely to have gaps in her stealth.
Well, First off R2 wasn’t included on that team. Second, she heals 20% every time she gets a critical hit, so R2s burn won’t be near enough. And then once she is stealthed, there is only a 9% chance she won’t restealth herself for 2 turns on each basic attack. That’s less than a 1% chance to come out of stealth every 2 turns when stringing basics together. You are basically counting on that 9% chance of falling out of stealth every 3rd turn after she uses a special. Oh, and that zombies taunt isn’t up at that point and her TM gain on her special doesn’t swing her turn back around before you kill her. All this time plague is spreading like crazy, because only Luke can heal himself on that squad.
So yes, going up against an Acolyte NS squad with that group (with or without R2 subbed in) wouldn’t be the wisest choice if you have other options.
