Why isn't everybody using Nightsister Initiate?

I met her once on enemy teams and she didn't impress me tbh. She seems inferior to similar tanky heroes like Kylo, Savage, Fives, Vader, in both speed and damage.

Was she maxed?

I don't remember. She did 1 ok hit (close to luminara scale damage) and then nothing. I killed her last.

@Timitock I farmed the Nightsisters early december when I started this game. Got em all 7* lvl 70 and still using Asajj (L), Talia, Daka and Initiate. Asohka is nice but doesn't really fit there except for being the leader.
I'm thinking about keeping Han as tank in the 5th roll.

Also it seems my server is less active after the update. Some perhaps stopped caring.

Guess I have to start leveling them from 70-75 again :)

Would you suggest Asajj as lead for the speed or Ashokha?
My personal preference goes out to Asajj so most NS move before ST Han taunts and gives even more TM.

Too bad Initiate received a nerf tho :)

The first thing that people do when they come to this game, is to see the big list of interesting and not, heroes it has. Then they realise that 80% of them are useless.
CG promised update that would buff slow/low dmg heroes and did't deliver. 80% of heroes in game still remain useless. My shard became more inactive too.

Initiate does have good hp, protecion and damage, but she's just way too slow for it to matter. I find Savage to be a bigger threat and i still leave him for last. NS teams are also bad on defense and they have targets on their heads since they're different.

I do wish they were more viable though.

I've just added her to my arena team to see how she does - I don't have the best arena team though as I was late to farm DPS and am still working on it. Currently: Dooku (L), Daka, Poggle, RP and NI. Currently staying in the top 20, but that's as high as I've maintained really (now or ever).

Keep in mind those are level 80 gear 10 stats, with level 8 skills. The damage numbers are inflated because that is the damage the skills do before it is put up against a targets defense. But even so, she will be strong and viable at 80, mostly because of being able to hit gear 10.

I have never seen my L70 gear 8 ability 7 NI hit for more than 3k on basic, it's usually 1.5-2.5k ... The specials crit for about 4k, and for 2.5k without crit, and after they are spent, not much is left. I was planning to move her to gear 9, but stopped.
The L80 stats will never look like this in reality, because when facing L80 toons in gear 9/10 and L8 abilities, I'm sure the damage she does will be reduced or becomes insignificant, due to increased armor and protection.

I would just stop farming toons all together and farm gear :P
But yeah I do think you might be disappointed once you farmed her and she doesn't meet your requirements.

I have her 6* gear 7 but I still don't find her impressive. Sure she doesn't die fast, but she doesn't do enough damages to be considered as a threat. Neither had I an issue killing her in enemy teams.

Lol, at this. I run her she's a beast, and one of the reasons NS is viable now.

Not the case at all, Level 75 GL 9 she hits like a mack truck, and gets hit like she's a mack truck (meaning she is hard to kill).
