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...

Since I started the thread, I thought I'd give an update on my decision. I've ultimately decided to go with zMaul (only 2 zetas away) over zVader. I did research on my shard, and there's still a lot of rebels and droid teams between the 100-200 range (which is where I'm currently situated) and zMaul teams with shoretrooper tank should eat them for breakfast all day everyday. I also can see the top 50 consists of rebels (closer to 50), zVader empire teams, zMaul sith teams, Rex Lead, and time out teams). I analyzed the speed of the top zVader teams, and from what I can tell a lot of them rely on a very fast (220+ speed) Boba to quickly ability block the other team and then control the pace of the fight through TRM. I watched zVader videos on youtube and the successful ones all had fast ability blockers. I'm lacking in great speed secondary mods, so I know I'll only be able to get my boba closer to 200 and that's simply not fast enough.
