Squad advice

I'm trying to decide if I should keep gearing up NS or switch to an Empire team?

https://swgoh.gg/u/adapting/

Part of me wants to keep with NS but just get demolished on defence and on attack I only climb by beating mirrors lol, so I have to avoid all Empire teams.

Characters that I have but not activated: 4* Shoretrooper, 3*Sith Trooper 4* DN, 4* Sion.


  • Use talia instead of initiate. Everyone bashes on her because she is a starter hero but she works great against EP teams. Initiate stealth strategy works only if your enemy does not have AoE, and palpie has enough AoE to mow her down. Talia heals, and dispells all debuffs, which is the most used anti-EP tactic (hello Rex). I run an empire team, one NS guy runs talia in his squad. I avoid him more than mirror matches.
  • That's... a very expensive looking Talzin.

    I would much sooner advise working on improving the gear of your nightsisters, rather than jumping ship. Especially since your Empire toons look fairly anemic in comparison.

    Don't remind me... you have no idea how much I hate the Palpa/Vader rework :):)

    Mmm yeah, I guess, my NS are practically g10, I probably have enough to get them to g11 and give them a couple more uniques (like zombie pretaunt, etc), just hit lvl 80 yesterday.

    The only thing I thought is with Empire I could use them for ships as well (which I have been taking rank 1 for the last few days and always finish top10/5 at least). Also make R2D2 a cakewalk, etc.

    I don't know, I kinda regret investing so much in NS, it seems they are only useful for arena and even that's not true any more, if I knew what I knew when I started playing in December I would've gone shoretrooper + deahtrooper instead.

    I'm pretty sure my Talia is already 7 stars I just haven't bothered to upgrade her so thanks for this suggestion!

    You are very welcome. Keep in mind that EP RNG can still end you if he stuns talia. But then again, good EP RNG can destroy any team. Keep working on your rex and make him lead with your NS
  • NS is plenty good in other areas of the game too. Great for DS TB. Cleared all DS nodes at three stars. GW is full auto. Can solo P4 of HAAT. This will all get easier for you especially after zombie auto taunt and MT lead zeta. I did MT lead zeta first and then AV unique.

    I still run a full NS squad and love it. EP makes it harder in arena but I still do okay. Would do better if I had time to sit at my phone before payouts.

    If you use discord, this channel is all about NS strategy https://discord.gg/wVmnRx.

    If you want a semi-casual guild to help you move along too then let me know. We'd be happy to have another 7 star NS team (The Balance Begins)

    OMG a discord channel just dedicated to Nightsisters?

    Thanks and see you there!
  • I personally recommend zeta talzin lead eather than zeta asajj lead.
    Both are beatable for me but talzin lead was a bit more tricky due to revives. I hated it when i almost got them all and suddenly they all came back to life.
    Against assaj lead i never had any trouble whatsoever
