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.
Very good analysis. Yes Zader teams need much more speed to function nicely (but when they do, they finish off most teams without even letting them attack ones), while Zaul teams need a little less.
But the problem is when you face other Zaul teams, it will be up to your speed once again, and Zaul teams increase like wildfire, so again it is the same conundrum of the last 6 months: Do you have enough speed? :)
