Sith Assassin....

I like ships! My Fleet Arena Team is Top 50 close to top 30.
But I do try and balance with standard Arena...

My current Arena Team is:
zPalps, Vader, zThrawn, TFP, Tarkin (obviously 4 of those cross over to “ships”)
I’ve currently started farming Sion to add to my lineup and these forums also suggest I need to get on with Nihilus soonish...

However....would Sith Assassin be an an upgrade to my Arena team? And if so who would she replace?
Would this lineup work - zEP, Vader, zThrawn, Sion, Sith Assassin?

    No. You want Nihilius. Your standard nightmare team is zpalp, vader, sion, Nihilius, and either thrawn or sith trooper. You want Nihilus no matter what. If you don’t have thrawn or sith trooper you can use Tarkin. Assassin really isn’t an upgrade to any of them.

    If you are running Sith in arena you want zDN, zSion, and zTraya (if possible). These three are non-negotiable.

    I’m on a midgame server with no Trayas at all. My Guild is working on HAAT - close to beating it.
    I’m at 1.1 million power - and that’s enough to finish 49th in my Arena and 30th in Fleet!
    So....zSion is underway then I’ll work on Nihilus but Traya will have to wait I’m afraid!!

    (For reference my next 4 Zetas are going to be CLS, Sion, Ventress and Finn aiming at a HAAT, Sion to bolster my Arena team). I know JTR is a better Resistance lead but I figure she’s not on my menu yet!

    Yeah Traya is out of reach for most people right now. But DN and Sion are good enough as individuals, let alone the synergy between them, that if you are running Sith and don't have them you're doing it wrong. Also move Sion up to your next zeta, he is awful without it but a beast with it.

    Even @ 4*/5*? Is zSion at that level better than a Maxed out TFP?
