So, I'm very early into a new account and lucked into landing Nihilus. I got Dooku in a DS starter pack and have decided to build a sith team as my main DS squad. I've begun the process of farming Darth Sidious and plan to purchase Maul in the stores whenever he appears.Since Sidious and Savage are both squad arena store, I'm wondering if it's worth unlocking both and trying to upgrade them by alternating between the two so they level together, or should I focus on getting one to 7* (or some other predetermined level) before the other?I'm only level 45 so I haven't unlocked the fleet store making Darth Maul a long way away from getting since the Guild Store seems to be the toughest location to farm out of.My other account doesn't have any sith, so I'm looking forward to running something different. I just don't really know what the best way to get it started is.

I vote Savage, Sidious is better at low level, before protection his heal inmunity rocks, but at high level Savage is better. In this game think for the long run and save resources.

Savage isn't too good early on but around g10 he'll do good with a maul or dn lead teamThis is kinda what I was thinking as well. That's why I was playing with the idea of unlocking Sidious first and maybe getting him to 5* before unlocking Savage. That way, I can use Sidious right away while I upgrade Savage to 7*. By then, I'll probably have Vader and Maul. By the time Savage is ready, Sidious may have phased himself out of my team.

So as I mentioned in my OP, I started with Sidious and he's now a couple shards away from 6* and I plan to take him to 7 before I go any further in my Squad Arena store.So far, I've acquired Nihilus, Dooku, Vader, Sidious, and just today from the sale in the store, Darth Maul. I'm finally able to create an all-sith team. Until now, I've been using KRU as the 5th because he can taunt and self heal.My question is, should I keep running DN as lead and have all 5 sith, or would I be better served keeping my tank? Also, is Maul the better lead?Because I started farming Sidious right away, I've ignored the usual early game rebel farms in the SA store (STHan/Leia). My question is, should I still go after Savage once I get Sid to 7*, and if so, who should I replace with him once I do? Or farm the rebel/scoundrel?I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm really interested in building a sith squad (the February sith-focus has really been a pleasant surprise) and don't have any experience with them.

I'm going to say Savage, Sidious is really squishy until you add a Zeta. Savage is decent, requires half (joke) the raid gear of Sidious.Other side of the coin, Sidious is super fun to use. He was my first 7 star, like a year ago.

Sidious or Savage for beginner sith squad

No question it’s Savage IMO. He is one of the best stand alone characters in the game. In specific scenarios Sidious might be better (Vader lead), but Savage will be better overall.

I think I would go with Savage as well. He can get you out of some tough situations if he is zeta’d.

Sid is good for beginners, but will quickly fall out of favor. Savage isn't too good early on but around g10 he'll do good with a maul or dn lead team

I run Sith in arena (not an easy task, lol)

Gotta say Savage. With the zeta he's a tough but to crack.

Working on Sidious so can't give a fair answer but Savage is my favourite Sith on game.

Good luck and hope you choose wisely :smiley:

Honestly, the only Sith worth any merit long term (as of now) is DN. That's not what you're asking, but I'm just making a point. I ran sith a long time, past when I should have, out of love - but it's not like it gets you anywhere.

As mostly above - Zavage is a beast, even by current standards. I've even tested out Zavage in my quadruple zeta NS team - you get in the situation where a toon will have half life and full protection from plague - he can be great to auto-kill them. Definitely go Zavage.

I have a zeta on Sid too - but even with it he's still squishy - If Jedi ever get into the meta maybe his kit will be useful again. He's okay for a new player in the Raids - but he gets eclipsed by other toons.

But, who knows - if we really do get another 'Sithuary' in a few weeks then just look out for any changes coming up -- and go after what looks good!

Have to agree savage is the better option. He also has some long term viability in later game play
