Nihilus lead arena strategy

Lookin' for some feedback here if anyone has any.

Currently my squad is ranked #766, and it seems to be hard for people to beat.

Nihilus as lead obviously, Boba Fett, Fives, Dooku, and Vader.

Boba Fett is capable of dealing high damage, Fives calls in assists and applies speed down- he also seems to call Fett more than anyone else resulting in tons of damage. Dooku and Vader are doing their normal thing, but getting health in return, while Nihilus unleashes what seems to be tons of damage from his basic onto everything that moves.

Try it out, it might work for you. Any suggestions on someone to possibly replace Fives? I'm currently farming Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, and I'm leveling and gearing the Sith Trooper and Sith Assassin.
  • Hey ritos, I will share my tought on Nihilus lead.
    I`m in an early shard, (three weeks), at rank ~100 to 200-ish.
    I just got decimated by Nihilus team combo, toons at level 49/50, gear V, stars 3 to 5*.
    Their setup: Nihilus, Maul, Vader, Sidious, Sith Assasin.
    My setup, Ackbar, Lando, Lumina, Chewbie, Nihilus, (All gear VI, levels all 52, stars 4 to 5*), (I know not the best, but its all I have right now).

    My team was hopeless, as Nihilus and rest regained health with each blow. I got them down to one pixel of health with my Ackbar/Lando combo, but it was futile, after their attacks they all got 20-30% health back.
    Also might be that AI got lucky, because they took out my toons one by one, not like usual spreading the load across the board.
    Plus Nihilus force drain increase my skill cooldown by 1. It works like skill block.

    I foresee this combo being used in late game as well.

    I would love to see comparison against Nihilus lead with curently most used "whack a mole" setup with Maul leading sith team.

    Here you go @JANX

    Just started playing around with this team and it's honestly better than I expected

    Trial run vs the cliche Zaul team... full auto of course

  • I'm using DN, Maul, Vader, TFP and Shoretrooper. It's been extremely effective in clearing out all those wiggs/chaze teams
    Will swap out Vader for EP once I clear this event.
