Nihilus beats Nightsisters

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.

    Tarkin's AoE could be effective too. Thrawn to fracture Talzin. ShoreT to heal, Storm for defence and expose. Tarkin to drop his AoE to knock-out NS Initiate.


    Any toon like tarkin with a strong aoe will put work in on the nightsisters aco+zombie strategy.
  • You can use Resistance to beat the top teams in the Meta right now. I'm not sure what's going on in this thread, every team is beatable. Boba has long been a counter toon - okay in his own right - but great against certain toons.
    RE: NS - On Offense I've been able to take down CLS and maybe another toon on node 12 with the current run of meta toons. That a terrible NS team can even get that far is pretty impressive. Some stars, real gear, and actual mods and I've no doubt they'll run rampant. It really does need a decent Zombie to make it go, however...
  • Empire team under Thrawn seems quite good against NS. But I cannot confirm this couse there is no NS squad to beat in my arena shard. But this plague mechanics is making protection quite useless.
