I was pretty sure on this, despite one poorly executed Youtube stream to the contrary, but a Nihilus sith team can easily beat the Nighsisters. I ran Nihilus lead, with Vader, Dooku, Maul (because I don't have EP yet), and Boba Fett. Boba was the star of the show. First, I did basics on Talzin until she laid her AOE plague. Then I hit with all my AOE attacks and built up a stack of debuffs, then I hit her with Boba's execute, so she couldn't be revived again. The AOE attacks also restored everyone to full health (except Boba who I'll get to), so the plague was healed quickly. After that, it was just Daka, Asajj, Acolyte, and finally Zombie. The great thing about Boba Fett is that when someone is playing a weak zombie just to draw the hits, Boba can kill her in one hit. He tends to draw most of the attacks from NS anyway, so he dies, kills Zombie, gets Bounty Hunter's Resolve, and rinse and repeat while the rest of my team picks them off one by one.

lol Boba Fett is the new anti-meta!I run Nihilus lead so this makes me happy to hear

Lol except my 109potency and 275 speed daka stunned your entire team. Lol you beat them once and say nilhilus is the new ns killer. Lmao play a decent ns team then say that. I'll post my bids beating a top tier nilhilus team, you'll laugh so hard. I'll post it tomorrow.

Yeah right, cause people still use Nihilus leads 4 months after his meta ended.

Most teams can be beaten on defense, but a lot of people are having a hard time defeating NS because they have a weird kit with the Plague unique. Don't get all butthurt because I tell people how to beat your expensive crew.

Dn is still used as a lead in arena? Yummy. My zader squad beats easy, my cls squad beats easy. Crud my wiggs chaze squad beats easy. Free arena rank when I see dn

My arena shard is less than 2 months old, but regardless, there's nothing stopping someone from using DN to take out the Nightsisters and then turning around to put in a defense crew.

Nightsisters aren't good on defense. It's all about how they do on offense. Besides based on the characters you use and have, I assume you are still lower level, maybe in the 70-80 range? It is far different when you start going against fully geared, leveled, starred characters.

I don’t think people have quite figured out the best way to use NS yet. This is where I really wish we could watch replays of our defensive battles. It’s hard to make adjustments when we can’t see what is going on. I can’t wait until more people have them so they are popping up in my GW and I can play them myself to see what annoys me the most. That’s how I tend to try to set up my arena teams, is based on the teams that give me the most problems when I play them.

Still no Nightsisters in my top 50, probably not in top 100 either..

And last time I checked the meta report there were no nightsister teams in the 1-100 catagory

Uhm, you realize that the last batch of NS was released 2 days ago, right? I’m going full NS. I only have 1 of the 5 to G12. Be patient. Most people had completed ignored NS until this month.
