The Darth Nihilus (Comments) ***MEGATHREAD***

Nobody has experience with him, and it will stay like that for a while. So how can you tell that he already need a nerf. He sounds good, a lot of toons are good. Game is evolving.

Relax the event is made so it's easy to get annihilation, believe me there's a lot of players already theorizing on how to counter him

Yeah i dont think you under stand that your not actually losing protection...it just converted to hp....so yes those things do more dmg since there % based...but 160% hpsteal! Unless you can outright kill nihlus or the sith under his lead b4 the attack again...there pretty much gonna completely heal all hp.

No it won't, 3dots will mostly the same dmg of your heal recovery. Plus you still forget about heal immunity, shock, stun

His drain force can be counter by any tenacity up: rex, yoda, chirrut, gk
And by fast ability block: tfp, boba

4 Reasons it's possible (not guaranteed) Nihilus will NOT be overpowered:

1) He cannot ignore taunt. If his annihilate ability is live and there is a taunt up, he will have to target the taunt - or wait...for another turn.

2) He can be ability blocked (and he's slow) meaning it will be difficult for him to reduce his cooldown if he is blocked early on in the fight.

3) He is his own worst enemy - meaning that if both sides have Nihilus, they will be increasing each others cooldowns (most likely). Now this does lead to another issue I can't stand. Everyone has him, so everyone runs him....so all arena teams start to look the same. Similar to when they first buffed RG with auto-taunt...and everyone's team had RG in a matter of hours. Same with EP. I honestly hope he is not so powerful that everyone has to run him...but I am expecting to be disappointed.

4) Everyone thinks he's OP - so he will be the first and primary target - of everything. Shock, stun, AB, Execute, etc.

I don't see Nihilus lead working given the amount of counters but he's looking to be an excellent support toon. CD reduction, dispel, and annihilation. What's more you don't need him high stars to utilize those skills.

Hes not even that good

So Rex and Yoda will be the traditional counter to avoid reducing the CD by 5 turns in one shot. As for the others debuff teams.

Rex's turn meter gain is dependent on being critically hit, which Siths cannot do under a DN lead.
Or am I missing something? :/

Squad discipline also gives tm, and timed right against the ai you could avoid the CD reduction before he dispells it.

Looking forward to goin against him in the next event.

He seems strong but not unbeatable.

This. Let's see how the mighty Nihilus does AGAINST my team. He has weaknesses. They can be exploited.
