What team beats zeta Maul?

I've beoken through the Wall of Wiggs with my jedi, only to run headlong into a new Wall of Zaul that I just can't handle...

I'm thinking Darth Nihilus led sith? It won't help the dodges, but his no crit should lessen the impact of stealth. Or is there a simpler solution that I'm not thinking of?

    I can beat zaul teams with my droids.


    I have a lot of trouble with zaul on my droids, though I haven't unlocked R2 yet. I'm really hoping he will be a gamechanger.

    What do you run vs the zaul teams? HK, IG88, JE, R2, and K2S0? Do you swap in General Kenobi or anything?




    Against zaul I use HK, R2, 88, GK, and JE. Unfortunately R2 is very important otherwise RNG will ruin you most of the time. If they have Sith Assassin it becomes much harder and I don't know who is best to put in for JE. If I had a zeta Bariss i would try that (I'm actually farming her now that I've thought about it more and plan on zeta'ing her). But if they don't have assassin then its just a matter of hitting savage with 88 and hoping you get healing immunity ONCE before he dies. Kill order is Maul/Palp, Assassin, Savage, then Nihilus but they usually have 1 non-sith character (usually Kylo or B2) so hit them when everyone but Savage is stealthed. Use Kenobi's cleanse AFTER Maul uses his AoE daze. Try to stun lock Nihilus as long as possible. He isn't a threat until he annihilates someone. DO NOT LEAVE SAVAGE FOR LAST. It will be impossible to kill him. The only way to kill Savage is to use 88 on him and get healing immunity when he has no protection left. Then next time 88 goes he should kill him or be very low and you can finish him with HK or R2. You can hit savage with R2 when savage is stealthed but try not to hit him with anybody else or he can dispell the healing immunity. Bad RNG can still ruin me, and by that I mean not getting healing immunity EVER on Savage


    Thanks for the feedback! It's pretty much what I figured would be the 'best case' approach. I just got R2 this week so now I am gearing him, and GK should unlock in...ugh...6 more weeks? In the meantime I'm hoping that the sudden influx of R2s drive most Mauls out of my shard :P

    My shard is mostly Rex leads nowadays. I'm going to try Zarris on my team instead of JE and see how that does against Rex lead and Zaul (with assassin). I wont go first, but I'll have much more survivability thanks to her and GK and I'll have an actually useful 5th member after the first turn lol.
