@dryff why is that? Take Zaul and Zavage against a whole team at the same level and they’ll probably win. Take Sass and Sith trooper against a team and they’ll die pretty fast.

I agree they’re useful characters but I put in factors that include farming them. The pain in the rear to farm them was not worth it at all, IMHO. I think all the sith are viable. Unlike other factions every sith is useful. Let’s compare to rebels, does anyone even close to the top of the arena use lobot, pao, or bodhi? But I’ve thrown in sith assasin a couple times and still do good. With sith trooper he benefits some leads but there are far better tanks out there. Just use shoretrooper, he heals and taunts.

@Ben774 The Sith Assassin is extremely fast. Under a Zaul lead, the Sith Assassin WILL go first, allowing her to boost the TM on the rest of your team, meaning your entire squad will go before theirs. In PvP, any Sith team uses Sith Assassin.

Sith Trooper is, as you said, good under some leads. I might be biased because the Sith Trooper is insane under Nihilus lead. With his Taunt and Retribution he heals faster than he takes damage and hits through protection. As long as you can control CLS and/or Thrawn and keep his taunt up, you can win any PvP battle with all characters at full health.

Zavage was my first zeta, but in PvP suffers from the same thing that Zylo does...in top-end arena CLS, Thrawn, and JTR shut him down (as you said). Sure, he can survive a lot, but he adds nothing on offense (except being able to get a cheap Overpower on a low health target, another reason to use Sith Trooper and Sith Assassin). Zavage can solo HAAT P1 or P3 however, so if that is a factor, by all means...

Zaul was killed by R2 unfortunately. However, Maul (lead or not) is an easy button against Nightsisters (thanks Zombie!). Still situationally good for things like TW, but outclassed by Palp lead and Nihilus lead for DSTB, and doesn't compete in arena anymore.
