zVader Strategy in Arena
Is the zVader strategy built around a fast TFP to get the first hit off and hopefully drain some TM from several of the opposing team members.. thereby giving the rest of your team a chance to go firs...

I've been running Zader in arena for the last week with some success. I've stayed top 20 and had top ten a couple of times and my arena shard is really tough (November 2015 shard). However, it is now filling up with Zaul teams and I have a feeling I'll be dropping really soon. I'm running him with Palpatine, Sidious (non zeta), a 231 speed TFP and Shoretrooper. Sidious is a bit squishy but as he's pretty fast I can usually get a few shots in with him before he's taken out. As there are a lot of B2s out there Shoretrooper is starting to lose his utility somewhat so I'm considering trying Dooku (non zeta) instead. If you have a decent Maul (mine is a long way off) I would definitely give it to him instead as the Zaul teams on my shard are impossible for me to beat.

He is great fun to use though. I can generally get them through Galactic War with barely a dent in my protection and I solo'd the rancor raid last night. I'm working on Magma Trooper to see if he is any good but I'm currently stuck at a 100 stun cuffs wall.
TL;DR - if you want top 10 go Zaul, if you want fun in GW and rancor go Zader
