nihilus worth 2500 crystals?

DN is great. If it's worth 2500 shards (/crystals) is up to you. If your daily income is high, then 2500 crystals is less than a week of not buying gear.

would he be better at 3 stars than tarkin at 7?

He has amazing synergy with Sion and his dp/t stats are largely irrelevant. If you can gear him to 11, I'd run him over Tarkin (though, I'd keep grinding his shards to get him up more). His unique zeta is also pretty solid in the zEP team.

"Worth" is a subjective judgement.

He's a top 10 character. Just awesome. How much do you want him?

Always better than tarkin

Worth is entirely subjective. Nihilus can be obtained F2P if you have his node unlocked. The 2500 crystals only buys you time. I'd continue farming his node and buy crystals as needed. Probably cuts his cost at least in half.

lvl 85 is at least a month and a half away for me, so i cant farm him from his node.

It would be worth it to me. He's one of the few characters who's good at 3 stars.

DN is one of the few where he's viable at low stars. Gear level is way more important. He's viable at 3* G10, but I'd rush him to 11 if I were you.

Like others have noted, we can't make the 2500 crystal choice for you, but we can share that he's viable at high gear level and stars don't matter as much.

Based on your team (at least when you run Sion), he's better than Tarkin. Sion and DN have synergy so that when Sion gets hit DN gets turn meter. Gets him to annihilate much faster

If you don't care about fleet then replace tarkin.
Otherwise, I would keep working on Tarkin.
Your resources will be spread if you level more heroes.

My squad is made up of EP Vader Tarkin TFP Thrawn.
All my resources are focused on Vader TFP and Tarkin.
This strengthens both my Arena, Fleet, Rancor solo and TB.

I would keep Tarkin.
I would use those 2500 crystals for energy refreshes to gain exp to reach level 85 faster.
More goodies unlock at 85 including daily achievement rewards.
