AOE dispell (like DT or Asajj) is also a huge help against acolyte. Also, toons with unrevivable kills (Boba, DT, Nihilus) all help stop the revives that make NS so annoying. I personally run DT in my arena team, so NS aren't a problem.

I think zombie still can revive with that method

That’s right. None of those characters can stop zombie from reviving when a single other NS remains but, those characters stop daka and MT zeta from reviving them. Which helps heaps.

I will give Thrawn a try then. This matchup combined with the boring Phoenix vs Phoenix really get me on my nerves!

Thanks for the info guys, appreciated!

The risk with thrawn is when u fracture n finish acolyte, do ur team have enough power to take down old daka n co before she revive someone? i'm worry about that since u don't have sabine in ur phonix squad.

Failsafe way maybe farm assajj as dispeller n aoe, n boba bcause he can ignore taunt, aoe, and kill NS that can't revive then (except zombie). Then put one of them to ur team to test which one is better hmm

ideal kill order is daka, talzin, asajj (acolyte should be killed whenever she can be killed)
Keep in mind killing anyone else but daka first will feed turnmeter to daka

Since I got thrawn 5*, could be an option to use him instead of Chopper just to fight NS teams? Fracture NA so she can't stealth > kill her > try to kill asap Daka so she can't revive NA?

Yeah, that could work. Your challenge is droping Daka quickly enough but, with the right mods, thrawn is definitely fast enough to pull it off.

But keep chopper, he’s a big part of the NS counter. I’d drop kanan when you add thrawn.

Do not drop kanan. His 20% heal when you suffer a negative effect is a big part of keep plague off you

Unfortunately, without sabine he has to sacrifice someone so, he has to decide what’s most important. Kanan and Chopper have similar kits, Kanan heals on debuff, Chopper heals every turn. Both have taunt(Chopper is way faster). Kanan heals protection(thrawn does it better), Chopper debuffs(thrawn does it better).

I don’t know what his team actually looks like and Kanan might be the better choice for him. He could drop Ezra but, Ezra’s the best of the bunch. I would say, try it both ways, go with what works better.

Well I tried with Thrawn G6 but I couldn't make it, there is obviously a lack of dps. I am farming Sabine ocasionally because I want her just unlocked to get the Phantom II ship but with this problem maybe I consider to farm her hardly and replace Chopper with her just for arena purpose.

P.S: Anyway I entered in rank #16 and hopefully I get top 10 before the payout (1 hour left). 5 dots health mods have made my life easier against those whales squads with 0 mods or just 1-2 dots mods xD

Here you have mate: https://swgoh.gg/u/manug/

Using Thrawn in a phoenix squad is not really a good option. I've done that.

Oof. I didn’t realize how young your account is. Based on your toons, try to avoid the NS until you’ve farmed sabine. :D

At this point, if you must face the NS, I would stick with Kanan and Chopper and dump Zeb for thrawn. Double down on the healing and use Thrawn and Kanan’s protection recovery instead of Zeb. Zeb isn’t much of a thug until he’s higher gear and has full abilities.

You’re on a younger shard. If there’s lots of players in your shard using Nightsisters, swap it up and farm Phoenix on the sly while you focus your farm on an Empire squad for a bit (4*or 5* them). Lots of arenas are rotating between teams now due to the diversity in competitive arena teams.

You could have a pretty good NS killing squad there, if you used a Thrawn/Tarkin lead and worked on them. Stormtrooper is a much better choice and much easier farm (cantina store) than Royal Guard. Snow and Magma both have aoe so use either one of them.

Thrawn, Tarkin, Tfp, Storm, magma/rg.
