How Good is Nihilus for Early Game?
So I'm a level 52 and my main team right now is a Sith core of Vader lead with Sidious Dooku, along with 2 tanks in Chewie and Royal Guard (basically placeholders for future replacements). The team wo...

Nihilus is 1 of the best characters in the game when it comes to what he is for:
Eliminating non-Galactic Legend pains-in-the-gluteus
- slow tenacity Enfys Nest
- Darth Malaj
And, the best part is that Nihilus can be left out of your anti-Geonosian Sith Triumvirate. You only need Traya and Sion for that, so you can save Nihilus for other pains. You just need to pair him with a tank that can help ensure (like Sith Empire Trooper) that Nihilus will stay alive long enough to use Annihilate. Which gets to another point, in this situation it is possible that a zeta Nihilus lead with SET, Maurauder, Dooku, and a 5th would be a good team if using E palp Vader Empire elsewhere, and Traya Sion elsewhere. It's not that zNihilus lead is bad, just that there are usually better choices. However, there are situations like above where Nihilus could be your best remaining team.
Whole point = do not ignore Nihilus, especially if Malak nd Nest poses problems for you. Edit, oh, and since you are early game you may not yet realize how they are a problem as they are are definitely level 85 for a few months characters, but they are massively difficult to beat without hard counters and you will be seeking forum advice to do it. Having Nihilus ready to go when you start hitting them will make you appreciate him later, and will likely be the reason you don't lose those GAC rounds.
All of this is no consideration for someone who isnt even close to 85 yet. And he was considering buying him with crystals, something which is a BIG nono. So at his current point, i wouldnt waste a second thought on him, for now. way more important to get the early game going.
