Rework Proposal: Sith Triumvirate — United by Hatred
This is a community rework proposal that preserves the current kits but layers on lore-faithful power to make the Sith Triumvirate feel as legendary as they were in KOTOR II.
The legendary Sith Triumvirate — Darth Traya, Darth Nihilus, and Darth Sion — return reworked to embody their full destructive power. Together, they are nearly unstoppable, growing stronger as their allies fall and feeding on betrayal, hunger, and pain.
⸻
🕷 Darth Traya — Mistress of Betrayal
Leader — Bonds Are Shackles (Omicron, Reworked):
- Sith allies gain +60% Offense, +60% Max Health, +60% Crit Damage, and +20 Speed.
- Whenever an ally is debuffed, they gain Bonus Protection equal to 20% of their Max Health for 2 turns.
- Whenever an enemy attacks out of turn, they take 20% of their Max Health as True Damage (excludes GLs, raid bosses).
- Omicron (GAC only): Sith allies also gain +15% Offense and Health Steal (stacking)at the start of each turn.
- New Mechanic — Sever Bonds: Once per battle, Traya may target an enemy; that unit loses all faction-based synergies for the rest of battle.
Special — Isolate (Reworked):
- Target enemy cannot gain buffs, attack out of turn, or be healed.
- Reduces damage dealt by 30%.
- Can be applied to a second enemy if cast again on a different target.
⸻
💀 Darth Nihilus — Lord of Hunger
Unique — Wound in the Force (Reworked):
- Nihilus takes 90% reduced damage from basic attacks.
- Whenever an enemy uses a Special or Ultimate: Nihilus gains +5% Turn Meter and +5% Max Health (stacking, no cap).
Special — Drain Force (Reworked):
- Increase all enemies’ cooldowns by 1.
- Enemies lose 10% Max Health (stacking) until end of battle.
- Nihilus recovers Health equal to damage dealt.
Ultimate — Annihilate (Unchanged):
- Instantly defeat one enemy (excludes GLs, raid bosses).
- Cannot be evaded or resisted.
- Nihilus gains +50% Turn Meter after use.
New Special — Consume Life (1 per battle):
- Drain 50% current Health from all enemies (ignores Protection).
- Nihilus recovers full Health and Protection.
⸻
⚔️ Darth Sion — Lord of Pain
Unique — Lord of Pain (Reworked):
- Whenever Sion is critically hit, he gains +30% Defense and Offense (stacking).
- Sion cannot be defeated while he has any debuff.
- Sion taunts for 2 turns whenever another Sith ally falls below 100% Health.
Special — Shatter (Reworked):
- Deal AoE damage and inflict Pain for 3 turns.
- Enemies already with Pain instead gain Fear for 1 turn.
Unique — Held by Hatred (Reworked):
- Activates automatically when Sion takes 3 turns or falls below 50% Health.
- Revives at 100% Health and Protection.
- Gains +200% Defense, +200% Offense, and Crit Immunity for 2 turns.
⸻
🧩 Triumvirate Unique — United by Hatred (NEW)
If Darth Traya, Darth Nihilus, and Darth Sion are all active at the start of battle:
- Immune to instant defeat effects (Annihilate, Execute, Culling Blade, etc.).
- Every 3 turns, one Triumvirate member automatically echoes an ability:
- Traya auto-Isolate.
- Nihilus auto-Drain Force.
- Sion auto-Shatter.
- When one Triumvirate member is defeated, the others gain: +50% Offense, +50% Health, +50% Speed.
- If only one remains, they gain Damage Immunity for 2 turns and recover 100% Health & Protection on their next ability use.
⸻
✅ Impact
- Lore-accurate: The Triumvirate now plays as they did in KOTOR II — inevitability, hunger, betrayal, and pain.
- Meta-shifting: Can compete with top-tier squads and even threaten GLs like Jabba under proper play.
- Synergy: Their bond strengthens as members fall, making them one of the most dangerous non-GL factions in the game.
