Nute lead

Okay so I'm doing a Nute Gunray lead. I know sounds terrible. Truth is, it literally destroys the new meta, but has some major counters. Here's how it works: you take stealth 3 stealth characters and put them behind nightsister zombie and Nute Gunray leading. You have to have Nightsister Acolyte in order for it to work. What happens is when zombie loses her taunt their still forced to attack her and it's almost a never ending cycle. It's very rare for Acolyte to be exposed unless there's an aoe dispeller on the other team. This team gets absolutely crushed by aoe dispellers such as B2 and Baze. Barriss is also someone you want to avoid with this team. Plo Koon absolutely wrecks a Nute lead as well but he's not viable right now so it doesn't really matter. Anyway I'm seeking advice on who my fifth member should be. I'm set on doing Nute, NS zombie, Acolye, and Princess Leia. For my fifth I was thinking Hermit Yoda at first but then realized how useful Geonosian spy would be. Any advice on who I should pick?

    I think you'd be better off going the cheese route with Nightsisters since you're basically doing that already. Might as well add Talzin, Daka, and Ventress.

    Not to mention Yoda can cleanse ability block off of Leia so her stealth doesn't get blocked.

    I was just reading Hermit Yoda's abilitys again and realized that if he gives zombie the training unique and she dies it resets all of his cooldowns and gives him 100% tm. He's definitely the best choice for a fifth member.

    Kudos for thinking outside the box, and finding uses for otherwise useless characters. You could easily run talzin lead with the same results, but why be a follower if you don't have to? Good stuff

    Been running similar teams... OK on offense against some teams, but gets owned by any AoE-heavy team. Imperial troopers will destroy that team in literally less than 20 seconds on auto. R2's expose on his AoE will also make short work of the team

    Zombie+acolyte is the core of your team.

    Everyone extra is just there to do some damage because acolyte doesnt, and also to give the AI other targets for han solo's opening stun and whatever else thrawn and CLS do next.

    You could use leia because her damage is good, and nute because he increases their damage. Anyone else you want to use is filler to be honest.

    However, i suggest old daka to revive acolyte in case she gets one shotted, and because her stuns are deadly. I also suggest MT because her plague is amazing and she can revive as well. MT is viable at 3 stars. Last, Ventris is most deadly because of her stun and cleanse (which removes turn meter).

    My advice is to go with the nightsister route. They are far better than the suggestions I've read above, and they are easy to farm and gear.
