Viability of a DOT team?

Does tenacity render this ineffective in tier 6 Sith?

I have used a dot team in phase 3 of the sith raid, tier 6. It works, especially if you take out 2/3 swords with a previous team before going in. Traya is susceptible to dots when toppled, but stacks tenacity with every killed sword.

I used zVader, zWampa, Boba, Tusken Shaman and Thrawn. Could stack about 9-12 dots and have Wampa go to town + saber throws and execute. Steadily did about 6 million if I remember correctly.

Dot teams are mega fun. I run carth, zaalbar, mission, ordo, nest, but the bad part is FO counters them pretty hard and a lot of people have FO. Every time you dot them they gain 5% health and protection.

Hadn't even thought of that counter. Thanks for the tip! I was thinking they'd be exclusively offense anyway. Seems the kind of team you want to control.

I faced an incredibly powerful DOT team in arena just to show my friend how cool they were. My arena team is FO and I had no idea they were a good counter until I slaughtered the whole team, including the z(z?)Wampa. But it still looked like a fun team, and I wish I had one of my own to put Wampa and Zaalbar and Mission to good use.

Fun, but not meta changing.


Able to beat bastila jedi though.

For kicks during the Rangetrooper event, since you got to use a max Rangetrooper, I experimented with:

Ig88 lead, Gar Saxon, Range, Shore, and Magma or Snow or Storm. Range buffs the troopers, they counter, Gar assists like crazy (mod him for crit) and stacks an insane amount of Dots.

I know I took some screens where some of the enemies had 16 dots stacked on them. They would take a turn and just die. Was pretty fun.

In TW when we were really low GP I ran a similar team with 88, Gar, Visas, K2, SF since I dont have Range geared. It got 4 wins once and 2-3 other times. Now I would replace K2 and SF with Zaalbar and Mission. I dont think its viable really but was fun to run through GW.

Might be useful as a suprise team in GA. Counter and dots are good to keep the enemy from getting full points, even if they win first try because it pecks away at their protection.

Working on this now
Troopers are hard to gear up...uh...

5 dots spreaders do worse than 4 dots spreaders+1 to bring something else.

That makes a lot of sense. Tricky when you get into the weeds of squad building to find one if those supporters who doesn't have a role elsewhere!

All these teams are NOT viable without a mass dispeller - AV, B2, DT, Baze, IPD, Logray...

AV, Baze and Logray kinda belong to other teams. iPD and DT have empire synergy for Vader, but overall B2 will be the best choice cause of Zaalbar taunt.

So to avoid foresight team and tenacity up teams that counter hard the Dots, you need one of those, undoubtedly. Otherwise you put all your faith in one aspect, that can be easily countered.

Thats a good point, and deathtrooper's deathmark would have synergy with Ordo. But i was also curious about t3's mass dispel along with his OR synergy under Carth

Carth gains a lot of damage output from a squad like OPs
