Well maybe there r shards out there not as competitive. I’m mid game my shard consists of players that started 2 months before me. Just hit lvl 84 will be 85 next week so closing in.

I Am rather long time lvl 85 if that helps and i have Zep Zion and Zader in my arena shard but extremely tired of mirror matches with speed calculation and want to try something new. You would be amazed how many teams can nightsisters beat ( i have mt zeta at 5* and that team just smashes anyone at least equal their GP )

I run Asajj (L), Talzin, Daka, Zombie and Spirit.

If I'm facing a Nightmare team with a zSion, I'll switch out Spirit for Talia. I've heard Nest makes a great 5th, but I haven't tried it out.

Can you please explain how it works? I have rather geared talia too so would appreciate some techs. I thought spirit is rather mandatory vs the nightmare (and nest seems amazing vs nightmare with her opening AOE Daze)

Since Sion's taunt isn't tied to a buff on himself, but rather a debuff on the enemy that's attacking him, Talia's Water of Life special is needed to cleanse the Pain debuffs on your team so you can get around the taunt. It's not quite as important now with the new Zombie mechanic as NS won't revive with Pain after they've been killed.

But as you probably know as someone who runs Nightmare already, NS are a pretty easy kill on offence, so I'm not exactly sure why you'd want to switch to NS if you're mostly facing zEP in your shard already. You'll be able to beat most teams on offence with NS, but you'll probably drop a lot more than you do already.

If you still plan to run NS in the arena, I would still recommend Asajj lead instead of Talzin. The TM manipulation and offence boost under Asajj is far more useful in arena than MT's revive mechanic or the extra plague.
