Sith Arena Squad - who to replace with which character?

Hello everyone,

at the moment my arena squad consists of:

Darth Maul (zeta) G11 7*
Darth Nihilus G11 4* (zeta on unique will be here in a few days)
Emperor Palpatine G11 7*
Shoretrooper G11 4*
TIE Fighter Pilot G11 7*

I'm not really sure who to gear up next...thinking about Savage Opress (7* soon, not geared yet), maybe Sith Assassin or Sith Trooper (both 3*, not geared yet)
I also got Count Dooku (almost G11, no zeta), Darth Sidious (almost G9, no zeta) and Darth Vader (G10, no zeta) ready to join in.
G9 Boba Fett is also possible, but also has no zeta.

General Kenobi is no option, our guild can't kill heroic AAT at the moment.

Any advide for my arena team which character should be next and who should be replaced?

thx a lot in advance :)

    I could also use my zeta for someone else then Nihilus like Savage Opress. Would that be good or rather keep Nihilus in and zeta him?

    If you're gonna keep Zaul as your lead, it might make sense to put the zeta on Savage.
    I can say that ST and SA are both really useful/critical toons in a sith team.

    I'm running zMaul, Palp, Sid, zSavage and B2 just to get through certain teams and it keeps me top 20 in my Arena shard. Highest of 7th.

    I use Zaul, Palp, Nihilus, Zavage and Sith Assassin and finish first each day. The other top sith team uses the same team except Palp is replaced by Sith Trooper. I'll be replacing Palp with GK soon.

    Kylo Ren works very well in a sith/Zaul team because it directs attacks at him which gives him speed, offense, defense and resets his special.

    Outside of him, a tank tank counters. I run Baze in my lineup to add speed down to opponents teams and have another dispeller.

    I run: Zaul, DN, Zylo, EP and Baze

    It keeps my Sith alive and either builds up Zylo or let's Baze counter.

    I just switched up my zMaul team to use Maul (L), DN, ST, SA, Savage and feel like the team synergy is much better than when I was running Maul, DN, Sid, Palp, Savage. Getting the extra turn meter from SA and the protection ignore from both the generic sith can help to setup early Overpowers. The squad has good survivability as well and you keep the Annihilate time bomb ticking the whole match as well. I will be putting my next zeta on Nihilus for his unique to make Electrocute > Overpower combos even easier to land.
