Can't be annihilated (MobileGamer mentions this in the video).

B1 ‘can’t be defeated’
Annihilate ‘instantly defeats’ an enemy.

My guess is the same as zombie, nothing happens and it just loses its 8 stacks as normal

Wouldn't be too sure about that. Unlike vs raid bosses (99999 dmg) Nihilus' annihilate doesn't do damage vs regular characters and therefor the B1 shouldn't even lose any stacks ("When B1 takes damage, they dispel all debuffs on themselves and lose 8 stacks of Droid Battalion").
This might also screw up DN's AI as it prioritizes the least healthy opponent if I'm not mistaken (at least you often see a DN on auto annihilating a red health opponent when there's a tank like Baze/Shore/whoever that has nearly full health+prot).

Possibly yeah, wouldn’t surprise me if they added a clause so it still loses stacks though. I’d also imagine they’ll tweak DN AI to account for B1 being constantly on 1 hp as well.

Question: what's the point of ever leveling/gearing B1 up beyond the point where he has access to all his abilities? He dies in one hit, right? No expenditures necessary (or in fact, advantageous).
