My guild is struggling with P2, so I'm considering putting a zeta on Vader...I have the core team decently high gear (Vader G10, Phasma G10, Sidious G10, Boba G9, Ewok Elder G10) HOWEVER I don't even have Tusken Shaman unlocked yet...A couple questions:1. Can Farmboy Luke serve any purpose at all? Is there a video anywhere of someone running Luke with Zader? He is my only maxed character (yeah, I know...) so I'm very curious about this...2. Gamorrean Guard? I mean, I get it, he sucks. But can he be used anywhere?3. Does Sidious have to be zeta'ed?Would this squad be able to score reasonably well (1.5M-2M) with good (not God) mods?-G10 Zader (L)-G11 Sidious-G10 Phasma-G11 Ewok Elder-G11 LukeEDIT: It has also been suggested to use Yoda with zeta'ed Battle Meditation to mitigate damage with Foresight and Tenacity up. Any experience with this?Thanks!

I can barely get 1.5-2M WITH tusken shaman. EE isn't going to keep that group alive long enough to rack up the damage beyond a topple or two.

I run DN lead in arena too, so the zeta on Sidious definitely wouldn't be wasted. However, I only have 28 zeta mats right now...though will likely have 40 by the next time we try HaaT.What kind of damage are you doing with that squad and what gear/mods? (swgoh.gg account?)

Speeds 169, 188, 210, 154, and 163 respectively. I have topped out at 2M and generally get around 1.5M. I know my speeds are way too low but I have had atrocious luck getting speed secondaries, my best mods are on my arena team and I refuse to switch them all around for a raid that my guild has on farm.

@kevsmart Thanks for the tips. I think I would be happy with 1.5M, but yeah, seems like I might top out at 1M without Shaman, which wouldn't immediately push my guild over the edge. Since this team would require two zetas right now, probably will hold onto the zetas to see how good Ewoks are. (My Ewoks are almost all maxed)

@Rapid Thanks for the find. Someone else asked about Luke there, so good to hear. If I already had a Zader, I might try him in NAAT just for giggles (instead of Elder or Boba).

@evanbio That's good to know also...my Nihlus team already is top 100, and Sidious would only replace my G11 Palps, which probably isn't much of an upgrade...

I have Tusken Shaman, but only on gear 9, so i am using Yoda instead...Yoda works very well, because if you give Foresight to all allies just before the tank gets up from topple, as long as the turrrets dont attack the same character more than once, then you basically avoid all damage (except for main tank AoE which doesnt hurt much)...Also, Yoda gives Tenacity along with Foresight, so you can save a lot of health by resisting all flames from that main tank special...

Yoda works great, you just need to make sure you are playing him smart and play when the tank has above 50% health (so he gains Foresight on basic)

Ya know that's not a half bad idea, I can really see the value in having tenacity up for after the topples. Would be much better to resist the DOTs and exposes than try to heal through them.

@fotrovina So you're running Zader, Zid, Phasma, Yoda, and Boba?

Yes...if you dont have max gear, then Yoda is good, because with that Foresight and Tenacity you can avoid a lot of damage...However, then when your characters are G11, you dont need to avoid so much damage, so Shaman is better because his heal will be good enough to survive - and with his DoTs you will get higher score...
