What abilities would you like to see from Darth Nihilus?
It's almost time! The Lord of Hunger event is so close I'm salivating! While entirely moot, I thought it would be fun to speculate some abilities he may have, based on his lore.
Nihilus has one of the most unique arcs in all of Star Wars, no doubt about it. Although mediocre-at-best as an individual combatant, his raw connection with the dark side of the force is arguably unrivaled in all of Star Wars history. I'd expect to see Nihilus given the Support tag, and have low or average health, attack, and defense, with some really killer abilities. Here's my mock-up of Darth Nihilus, please feel free to add your own ideas for abilities, or critique my own! (I'm going to make this toon reaaaally funky to reflect his story)
Darth Nihilus
Human, Sith, Support
Physical & Special Damage: low
Speed: medium
Protection: Very High
Health: (see unique)
Hungry Strike (basic): Deal physical damage to target enemy. This attack has 100% health steal.
Sith Lightning (special): Deal special damage to target enemy and shock them for one turn. If target is already shocked, stun them for one turn. This attack has 100% health steal.
Force Drain (special): Remove 10% turn meter and inflict one Damage over Time effect on all enemies for one turn. This attack has a 50% chance to stun Jedi and Sith enemies. Darth Nihilus gains one Heal over Time effect for one turn for each DoT inflicted.
Lord of Hunger (leader): At the end of their turns, Sith allies steal 5% health, 5% protection, and 3% turn meter from each enemy
Wound in the Force (unique): Darth Nihilus begins each encounter with the Massive Protection Up buff and zero health. Darth Nihilus has no maximum to his health, and his abilities ignore healing immunity debuffs.
Bam! That's one fun character I'd love to play! I guess we'll all learn what the devs came up with soon, but I just had to share!
