They are literally impossible for me to beat. I know people post this like every two days, but this team is ridiculous. Turn meter removal? Insane speed? Oh yeah and the endless stuns? I think it’s safe to say they’re overpowered, especially considering they are a minor part of canon. The funniest part is that the zombie “nerf” actually made her better...
An equally well-geared Jedi team under Bastila also works well against NS. Dispel Zombie's taunt with Bastila or Ezra and/or kill it multiple times. Use Old Ben's ability block to prevent heals. Kill Old Daka (three times if Zombie revives her), then Mother Talzin and finally Ventress.

Use your nest solo in 3v3 with all tenacity mods (no speed with lots of offense and crit damage triangle ) and put on auto. It works against all night sister teams
You're welcome.
Lol, some of the teams you guys are coming up with I mow down with my NS. Nest is so easy as NS apply tenacity down with zombie, then stun with daka then apply plague and keep applying it till she is dead. She isn't a good counter especially not by herself.

I Have to be honest NS teams should be very easy with that lineup although if they are using talzin lead spirit and have all the g12+ and great mods it can be a bit dodgy. Keep working on your gearing and your mods and FO will handle them fine.
Since plague can dispatch your fast FOO very quickly some FO players switch him out for FOSFTP specifically against NS, the extra AOE and a bit more HP make up for FOO's normal awesomeness.
I notice in your screen grab Daka is still alive so maybe you also need to work on your kill order. After killing the weakest nightsister 2 times make sure you focus on getting Daka killed next. Use FOX and FOO's TM reduction to keep zombies taunt at bay if your FOX isn't powerful enough to 1 shoot her twice in a row. If talia is in the team you may want to use Halt on her as otherwise she'll use her cleanse which is very annoying. In other lineups you'll probably have most luck using halt on Talzin to delay the inevitable spreading of the plague or spirit to avoid too many stuns.
Good luck!
I use Phasma instead of FOST, but usually my FO team can beat them. In 3v3 however, they were able to constantly stun me, and I might have gotten one turn for the whole encounter
Sorry! Did not realise this was 3v3... yeah, they are tough then! I haven't tried with KRU as I put him on defence. I've generally got lucky I think with 3 troopers. But the last round they ate that team for breakfast. Luckily I had Traya, Sion, Nihilus to use on offence, was worth using them once I'd stupidly TM loaded them because I don't think I'd have beaten them otherwise. They are very strong in 3v3
That’s okay. Yeah, I’m not very good yet, so they crushed my full roster. But they are no sweat in 5v5, I get what you were saying.

LOL Nightsisters are my favorite team in a game. Gear up yours and you will also have strong team of Nightsisters. Do not be crybaby.
I refuse (because I’m stubborn) to gear or level my NS. I firmly believe they are unimportant and unfair. Does that hinder my ability to conquer the endless ranks of players? Yes. But that’s not why I play this game, and I will not disrespect my beliefs. Also thank you for addressing me as a professional, “crybaby” is used for the highest of officials. ;)

Hmm, interesting thought here, but I wonder if once more people have Canderous starred whether a zVader + Canderous DOT team could take them out?

It’s hard to get in a Heroic Sith Raid Guild (which gives the best rewards!) without NSisters. I, like you, held off gearing/farming them for way too long - once I worked out how much this was weakening me I started to fix it!
Defence of Dathomir - once you unlock Talzin = extra Zeta mats EVERY month
Sith Raid - awesome for P3 and P4
Even the original NSisters - Ventress, Daka, Talia, Acolyte and Initiate can get 3.5million in P4 Heroic Sith.
This exactly. They are absolutely invaluable in Sith Raid.

I understand that. But I don’t want Traya. Personally, I don’t play this game to be the best, so I don’t care about Traya or Nightsisters, I don’t play the Sith Raid, it’s boring and repetitive. I care about getting a lot of characters, which may not include Traya and that’s fine with me.
I’m not sure you do fully understand....because it’s not just about wanting “Traya” - SWGOH is a resource management game & Heroic Sith Raid gives the best gear and a shed ton of currency. There’s zero chance of keeping pace with the top of your shard Arena without gear...
And if you fall out of the Top 20 in Arena —> you get consistent loss of crystals. A 19th place daily Arena finish for a FTP player (like me) = 200/day or £465/year of free crystals.
Nightsisters are unfortunately integral to this and the original NS are easy to farm and gear.
Okay less specifically, I don’t care about keeping up with arena. Thus, Traya and high gear is unnecessary. I have two Gear 12 characters, and that’s all I need at the time. As long as I can use the teams I want to use, I’m totally fine. But this one day, I get destroyed by NS, and I decided to mention it because it seems to be a recurring problem for a good amount of players.
Having said that a good NS squad is essential so even though I loath them I would not be much of a gamer to not use them and well modded and geared they are down right deadly....

You forgot to add "and then the internet happened" lol.
I seriously empathize with your original post. The NS are a lame piece of SW canon that needed to be left in obscurity, and the fact that they are more useful in this game than most other factions (separatists?) is also lame.
Other than that, my main objection is the interaction between NS Acolyte Stealth mode and Zombie, and how frustrating it is to fight these two characters without using some seriously up-gunned counters. They punch way above their weight - imagine if Hoth Scout and Hoth Soldier were as good.
I don't have NS geared up either, mine are G7 or G8 and lvl 72, but I could get them higher with a minimum effort if I wanted to.
Separatists are so much worse than NS it’s crazy. Oh yeah, and in canon, Grievous showed up and annihilated all the NS. Ironic...
