As the title states! Appreciate any advice. I'd rather stay dark side but the majority of the top teams on my shard are LS / Rebel teams.My zMaul team is getting butchered. Ideally Thrawn would return fairly soon and I am thinking Tarkin (l), ShoreT, Thrawn, DT and DK.I do have CLS and will unlock GK soon. But again would rather stay on the Dark Side. Cheers!

Running Thrawn (L), zDT, DK, Shore and zDN atm and finish Arena every Day in the Top 5. Iam the only one in my leaderbord (Dec 2015) Top 10 that didnt use CLS for now. This Squad works well against rebells if you use your AOEs wisely but you need good speed on everyone. Even Shoretrooper need some speed to bring the Taunt back up if you are dispelled. I will try to replace Nihilus with CLS but even Stormtrooper could be an good opportunity.

Today I zeta'd Barriss and changed to LS (I was using a Tarkin lead)I'm tired of that team because it gets resisted very often, so I changed to a LS team that doesn't need to use debuffs.

Dark Side is dead, especially without Thrawn. You can squeak by with a few teams if you work at it but it is time to read the writing on the wall.

My zaul + Zylo squad still holds top 20 but yeah, it's getting very, very hard. Nearly ready for 7* Thrawn but only have a no-geae 3* Shoretrooper, and a 6* G9 GK, so not sure I really have a good enough set up to make the switch.

Do you all think a hybrid team of something like Nihilus, Thrawn, GK, Zylo and R2 could work?

No, dont do it! That's exactly what developers want. But we, DS players, must not give up.
Dark Side could be still good. For example, I am at paytime in top 30 on my shard with team zThrawn, DT, ShT, ST and DN with not so good speed and could beat many CLS teams.

I saw this post earlier this morning and agreed, sith are dead. However, I looked at my Arena board and just saw a Zaul team placed number 1. He's the only one in my shard I know of, but he took number one against a team I can't even beat. So, maybe not actually dead, surprisingly.
