I'm looking for some help making a Separatist-Only Team. I want to make a team for Dark Side battles, and I figured I'd go with the "Dark Side" team that I agree with the most ideal-wise: The Separatists. Granted, they were used and manipulated by Senator Palpatine and by Count Dooku, but the goals of the actual people were not that bad: Form a new government separated from the Republic free of corruption. Foolish, but at least it's more noble than the Empire or First Order (Crush everything into submission.) They still had their flaws, but still. Of the "evil" factions I like them the most, so I wanted to do a Separatist-only team.The problem I'm running into is that making a team with a genuine "purpose" all together is proving to be quite difficult. Sun Fac seems like the obvious "Go To" Tank since he has self-healing and Taunt, though I'm not sure if he's "needed" because Count Dooku is an Evasive leader, and units like B2 Super Battle Droid and IG-100 MagnaGuard are average damage units with very good durability. With no reliable healer (aside from Count Dooku's Protection self-healing and Sun Fac's Health self-healing) it doesn't seem like "the long game" is how to play the Separatists, and it seems like doing as much damage as possible seems like the way to go.With all that said, has anyone done a Separatist-only team and have any pointers? I'm leaning towards Count Dooku (Leader), IG-100 MagnaGuard, B2 Super Battle Droid, General Grievous, and Sun Fac at the moment. Basically a super-durable team but not the best damage output ever.

B1 is your healer in that comp.

You could go Poggle lead geos and fill the fifth spot with a droid. They have decent damage output and Sun Fac can eat up all of the damage

Might also take spy out for GG. Poggles abilties should make GG hit pretty hard.

Count Dooku is among the more viable options, but for synergy purposes I like Poggle's lead, which benefits GG, Sun Fac, IG-100, and B2. Mostly I just love your reasoning for your team. Having a meta team is fun and all, but Star Wars in general is why I'm here. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions and feedback. I underestimated Poggle the Lesser because I thought with Count Dooku's Leader skill and IG-100 MagnaGuard's Unique it seemed like Poggle the Lesser would be... eh. Repetitive Offense Up buff, you know? I'll give him another look, though. With the 30% Damage bonus on the droids and the high damage output of General Grievous stacked with Offense Up it might actually be a fairly scary option once the damage increase across the board is taken into account.Have to go to sleep now since I work third shift (Curse you, sleep!), but once again thank you for the feedback. =D

Separatists aren't very good... I hope they get a rework soon

Geo Spy’s silent strike ability might be really good against toons such as the Chaze combo or any others that stack up a bunch of buffs.

If I were you I would wait til a droid or separatist rework. Right now it's honestly a waste of time if you're looking to do good in arena. Or you could make a droid team if you have BB-8. You'll easily get top 50 with it

On the other side of that coin, of you go ahead and build the team, you'll be ready when the rework comes. It's going to happen eventually, and if that's the team you like, build them now and you'll be ahead of everyone else later. I personally really respect your reasoning for choosing them; it's always refreshing to see someone else who doesn't fixate on the meta.

Yup. I have, and always will use Droids as my only arena team :) There's no other person like that in my top 100 though....its ALL CLS lead
