Paper acolyte strategy for NS -- will this get nerfed like Paper zombie?

Maybe I'm in a weaker shard as I'm newer to the game than most, but I just encountered someone with a 74k NS squad that beat my Zalp,Zader,Thrawn,Zoba,Zarkin squad of 104k using a very weak acolyte strategy.

Basically, this acolyte was level 1 and the team used her constant deaths in AoEs to juice up Daka and Ventress and ultimately win. Interesting and smart strategy.

I remember when Paper zombie was nerfed, the devs stated that Paper zombie violated one cardinal rule of the game that progressing in the game should not make you weaker. Doesn't paper acolyte do the same thing then as paper zombie, albeit in a different way? Someone with all strong NS can't employ this strategy, for instance.

Anyways, at the risk of bringing on NS runners that are gonna hate all day and call me a sore loser, I just wanna see what the board thinks. I also want to see if I'm the first to encounter this or if it is common knowledge in other shards.
  • In fact, in my first 2 GAC rounds I reluctantly pulled Shore from my IT squad to help out on other squad. Replaced him with 3* g9 Range and still one both times against strong NS squads

    I do beat NS pretty regularly in arena with my Palp led team +BH, this one just threw me for a loop because I hadn't seen it before and it managed to beat me with 30k less GP. I wasn't sure if the RNG was just bad or if they juiced up potency, too. The stuns hit just about every time and Daka often stunned twice....that doesn't happen often for me.
