I see the plan but I feel like it stunts him for the rest of the encounter... he has to be pretty damn slow. He's your dispel on team too so if you get locked into taunts with such low speed he's gonna be less useful

Well my plan is zaul, Sith assassin, palp, nihilus, Gk. After the opening barrage the enemy should be forced to use basics and Gk will use negotiator and give all sith retribution, in my gw testing this has proved very effective at removing taunt and anything else that might happen to come up and reduces cd of force drain rapidly (have used it back to back). But that was with a regular maul lead the real problem comes with the extra tm at the start. I think I will try this team but just crank everyone's through the roof and let RNG decide.

That's probably the best bet. In the past I had tried to control turn order with ST Han with an Ackbar lead to try and control TG and it didn't work well. Then somebody that actually did it, told me I had to slow my characters way down. I don't think that's a good thing with a Maul squad. You gain such an advantage on turn 1 with everybody going right away, then if you get a couple stuns, dazes, and DN's 2nd ability, you go into turn 2 with a good advantage that you don't want to lose momentum. The only time it could be tricky is if Rex lead makes a comeback and you want Maul going before Palp.

@Darth_Jay77 @Dwinkelm. Thanks that part is fairly easy, I was more stuck with determining how to get maul to have 100% tm after sith assassin uses dark shroud yet ensures nihilus gets as close to 99% tm. I want me team to go in a specific order on their first turn.

I believe a sith would have to have less than 70% of sith assassin's speed to have less than 100% TM after the first use of dark shroud.

Ugh, no thanks; that's totally not worth it. I'm not going to drop my Palp from 230 to 170 just for the perfect 1st round turn order. Get wrecked after that first turn.

Assassin does grant 24% TM for the first turn under Zaul lead right? Otherwise it's slower.

@Dark_Helmet152 no in fact since she's under maul lead she starts advantage... so her first move will grant 3buffs worth or 36% TM... and herein lies the issue... I don't think it's possible to make other sith that slow... under nihilus sure you can probably tank some speed and get that order at 24% but at 36.... your assassin would have to be 290+ and others have no secondary. Roughly.

They would have to have less than 55% of assassin's speed then.

Really really struggling with my sith team vs Rex (l), GK, Chirrut, Baze and Palp.

Zaul's mechanics mean all of your opening moves are guaranteed crits, which feeds the opponent turn meter via Rex lead.

That means unless you've been lucky enough to stun all three cleansers before they've taken a turn, all of the negative status effects you've just applied are cleansed and then they are looking free to apply tenacity up plus retribution right from the start.

Using Sith Assassin adds an additional complication, because the tm boost from her plus Zaul fills up all of your sith's turn meter to full, so it's random who goes first.

hello, i need some help with the choice of my sith team :)

the problem is that i'm lvl 80 and dont have any zetas..and that wont change the next few weeks :(

Maul 5*
Savage 7*
Kylo 7*
Vader 6*
Nihil 3*
Sid 7*
EP 6*
Boba 6*

can i use Maul as leader even without his zeta? or would EP be better?

maybe something like: EP (L) - Savage - Sid - Kylo/Vader - Nihil? or a boba L - Savage - Vader - Nihil/Kylo - Sid

thanks

I think Maul and Vader leads definitely require zeta or their value is diminished. Sid might not be a bad lead, Nihilus lead still has value without zeta, Palp lead with Vader is solid too.

Your Zaul team will not best Rex lead, not ever, especially paired with two other strong cleansers. If you're insistent on running Sith, then put a Zeta on Vader and use him as lead in this particular scenario. The lack of crits, TM reduction, and insane DoTs is the recipe for Sith VS Cleanse. Throw Boba under Zader against Chaze/GK/Rex/Barriss and watch all those HoT's/buffs become a major liability.

Hope this helps!!
