Zaul with Zylo - Thoughts?

Zylo can work with Zaul but If you're using Zaul you usually want Sith Assassin to provide a boost at the start, also she should be the fastest toon on your team for this.

I second the fast SA idea and raise it a DN for Sidious.

Zaul, zavage, zylo, SA, DN

Sith won't even get you top 100 anymore. They died out about a year ago.

It was 8 months ago

You can win on offense against almost any team. I get top 100 most days with Sith on an old shard. :)

I'll double down on what @Billcarson66 said. You need Darth Nihilus and Sith Assassin if you are planning long term. In fact, Sith Trooper will give you much better return than Zylo. In anything above rank 100, there are too many toons that shut Zylo down entirely. I would run:

zMaul, Nihilus, Sith Assassin, Sith Trooper, zSavage (if you don't have access to General Kenobi)

I’m on a June 17 shard. Since the recent CLS event, the Wedge leads are disappearing and CLS is popping up everywhere. My rank is tanking, so I came here. There is still 1 Zaul team in the top 50. He runs Zaul with R2 and has much better mods than I do.

I just love lightsabers. When I joined, I tried Jedi and it didn’t go well. Sith are a little better.

I have SA and SiT as well. I am just feeling underwhelmed by them. All she does is make the rest go first, which is nothing to sneeze at. However, with Chaze in a team, it is not so easy to use that small window to burst someone down. My guys are still G11. Bumping them to 12 will hopefully allow me to climb some again.

Now that I have you here, would there room for Zarris in a Zaul team? My Barris is still worthless at the moment, but it seems like Zaul’s lead and Zarris’s heal on crits, gives for good synergy and staying power. At first glance, this setup would need SiT otherwise Zarris would be taking it all.

Perhaps Zaul + Zarris + Zavage + SiT + Nihilus

The best Zaul team (imo) is Zaul, Zavage, zDN, SA, SiT or EP. His team is all about speed and hitting as hard as possible, both of which SA excels at. When she gets a couple buffs on her she can very easily one shot high health toons with her special that ignores protection. Especially if that toon has DN's debuff on them to reduce their health. If you are running a Zaul team without her you are doing it very wrong.

All that being said R2 completely neuters Zaul teams, even on your young shard there probably are a lot of him rolling around. If you want to go Sith you would have better success with a zzDN, SA, SiT, CD, Zavage/EP lineup. They can't hang in the top anymore but I was still getting 1st on my shard with that team up until CLS came out.

@SarahSinister Your last comment is why you NEED Nihilus and Sith Assassin in this team, and why I think Zavage does basically nothing for you. Sith Assassin can go first, letting Nihilus drain force and EP AoE Stun allowing you to buy a turn or two to deal with Baze before CLS and R2 get going. Ideally, you'd run:

zMaul, Sith Assassin, Darth Nihilus, Palpatine, Sith Trooper

@kevsmart Knows what he's talking about, and the problem is CLS + R2 pretty much made Sith obsolete.
