Nightsisters or Empire?

If you've read any of my other posts, you'll know how I don't have Commander Luke or General Kenobi. And as most of us know, both Thrawn (L), ShoreT, StormT, Krennic, and Death trooper, and Talzin (L), Daka, Asajj, NS Acolyte, and NS Zombie can beat the current meta team, but I'm not sure which ones better. I've wanted to run the Empire team for a while, but after seeing that NS Zombie doesn't need high gear to be viable, I've been having trouble deciding between the two. I will have 20 zeta mats and since both only require one zeta upgrade- the one for the leader ability; so I'm not sure.

Which one should I go for, Empire or Nightsisters?

  • Empire has no issues with nightsisters either. But I guess that you could say the same for nightsisters when on offense.

    The nice thing about Empire it has room to grow. With nightsisters you are pretty much locked into your squad (Talzin Lead, zombie, daka, Asajj, +1). Empire you have so much more room to switch around, and they have room to grow. Currently empire meta is Thrawn (L), Shore, Storm, DT, Krennic. You can switch out krennic for Tarkin depending on situations. But besides those two main squads, there are combinations and toons that work in unique situations (zader, palps, TFP, etc.). And with the empire being the second largest faction besides the rebel scum, they will always be adding new troops to the faction while the same cannot be said for nightsisters.
  • Agreed on empire being more versatile; besides, nightsisters don't and won't have ships.
  • Empire also get you R2, who in turn gets you CLS. I hate him, I hate rebels, but with TB, you need them. Go Empire.
  • The empire might get more characters with direct synergy, but I don’t think that should rule out Nightsisters being a part of the future meta even in other squads. Zombie is one of only 3 autotaunts and only needs to be paired with 1 other NS to be a pain. Talzin can be good in nearly any team, and her ability to block cleanse could open up other rosters down the road. For example, plague could make thermal detonators viable if they add more bounty hunters that use that mechanic. Nightsister Acolyte has huge stealth synergies and could play a huge role in any stealth meta paired with Zombie.
  • Unless you want to spend money to get Talzin to 7 stars or wait 2.5 years and figure out however long it takes to get Zombie/Spirit...answer is clear...Empire.
