Hi everyone,I'm really hesitating between the two and would be really grateful if you could share what you believe are the pros and cons of each. My shard is pretty mixed atm with CLS, GZarriss, Rey, a few MT and a couple of Ventress leads. I have 3, soon to be 4 zetas, saved and would like to know the priority order with whichever team you reckon I should pursue.I have a MT lead, Daka, AV, NA, NZ team sharing my payout and I would like to maybe have a NS team that defends well against that comp. I'm under the impression Ventress does but I'm wondering if going AV lead would maybe weaken me against other team comps such as General Zarriss. I've recently seen a move towards AV lead, MT, Daka, Zombie and Zarriss or GK as 5th. I get Zarriss (btw is it a good all around team on defense?) but fail to see why GK besides for the crit damage immunity.Last, given the bug around MT lead and TM gain being corrected, is it substantially improving her lead?Thanks a lot for the help!

Well, in my experience, zeta MT lead is more a pain in the butt, but Zeta Assaj lead is better for arena. I have a zeta on MT unique and Assaj leader. I have one guy with the best mods on my January 17 shard running a full Ns team under zet Talzin. I run a mixed CLS squad.I can’t beat him except when I run my very poorly modded NS squad under my Ventress.. his team is miles faster. But they don’t go. My plague wipes his Acolyte cheese and both our Ventress quickly ramp up to 40k damage, but I jut take way more turns so I win.I haven’t even zetad Ventress unique yet, but will eventually. So my advice is if you want to go full NS, talzin lead is more annoying for other players, but Assaj lead makes offense easier. Talzin becomes aoe TM remover....that is huge in arena. Running Talzin lead you would want all NS. Under Assaj consider Zarris to let you last longer til Ventress takes out everyone with one AOE.

That’s the reason I zetad Talzin unique first. She is in my arena team. Plague is so much better. Matches dont last long enough to ramp up Assaj I don’t run NS. I did zeta Assaj leader for TW and TB. Plus it lets me beat any other NS Squad. I will Zeta Ventress unique eventually. Just gotta spread the zeta love around a little more first.

But is Ventress that bad on D against let's say a GK/Zarriss or the typical CLS meta team?

I don’t think Ventress lead is bad on defense, I just know the AI will prioritize Mt green blade move when once plague is applied she should only do basic to aoe tm remove.

I've seen a video with MT lead, Daka, AV, Zombie and DN. Against the new Rey meta team it was absolutely piece of cake. DN's cooldown increase really hurt. Not sure it's better than having the Acolyte hiding trick though.

Another question I have: would Zombie need to be weak or strong under a AV L with GK or Zarriss?

Green blade does bring everybody back on death, but most times, and especially if the other team is all plagued, the aoe TM removal is a better move.

zzVentress(l) better.If your zombie dies 3-4 times, the ventress will end the fight with just one aoe (40-45k crit)

Here is my team against a RJT CLS BB8. Zombie is gl 11 3 stars. I have run Asajj lead (zetaed), she is gl12 all gear except the 6250 health one. I hold better and kill quicker with my MT lead, including any zariss team.

In this fight my acolyte had the worst rng.

I went zzMT lead. It holds top10 most days and for that reason, I highly recommend it. My AV has zeta unique and my zombie is 4* G10 (for the speed item).
