NS Team - Gear Zombie or Not?
So the dominant school of thought is to leave Zombie at a low star level and gear level so she dies and boost Vetriss dps. BUT with her Omega wouldn’t it be better to gear her up so you increase ...

NS can beat the META. Empire/I Troopers beat NS. META destroys Empire. Adds more diversity to the top. Only people mad are people who feel everyone must run JTR or CLS. There is still a paywall that NS are behind and a massive zeta commitment. Besides, there is a ftp counter to them.
That's an interesting point. I mean, my better geared, better zetad, and better modded CLS lead squad beats NS teams 90% of the time (when acolyte doesnt stealth first turn and **** me over.) Checks and balances are great, so I agree that a diverse arena is good for everyone.
Now name a squad that NS doesn't beat on offense on auto.
Any one with an AoE dispel or AoE damage attacks or decent heals setups ie: any teams other than the single target dps builds ...like..
1. Lando / Chaze Combos - granted Lando falls off in arena 80+ but he still does crazy damage to NS.
2. Troopers (with Snow) and even w/o Snow ShT makes plague laughable.
3. Phoenix, especially with Sabine, zeta’d this is no contest and NS fail miserably. I can speak from experience here watching my g11 Acolyte get close to oneshotted by Sabine’s AoE..its all good :smiley: ..part of the fun!
NS are not hard to beat at higher levels..at lower levels they are a tad irritating and force you to go down the Lando / Chaze route which kinda sux if you like Empire (like me..) - but hey Empire gonna get sum luv soon hopefully...at lower levels they are slightly ‘arena’ breaking.
Plague hits too hard imo at lower levels and a reviving tank with a similar mechanic to K2 is really hard to manage. That said, if a player invests in that build (given it is so tunnel vision) which means you don’t partake in any events etc then NS players should be rewarded with a decently strong arena team.
Also I am curious who wins in a NS vs NS battle (both running acolyte) one with geared zombie and one w/o. I think the low gear zombie team should win due to Ventriss dps being significantly higher - anyone done the theory rafting on this to confirm / deny?
TLDNR - NS are slightly OP at lower levels - at higher levels they are perfectly fine.
