I use Traya lead, sion, nilihus, sith trooper and thrawn to beat geos in TW and GAC. I know traya lead helps them kill themselves but...Would nilihus unique zeta help kill them off quicker as it applies damage over time effects?Just want to kill the bugs without taking too much damage

"SithVicious;c-2099779" wrote:Poggle’s special actually makes that zeta a liability. I'd say that's debatable. They're gonna get a bunch of turns anyway, and it's Traya's lead that does most of the damage to the geo team, not your guys taking turns. Plus, Poggle will probably only get to use that move once or twice and you want the geos debuffed as much as possible - every time they take damage while debuffed (eg, attack out of turn), your sith heal.Also, OP, it's health down, not a DoT that's applied with the zeta. I think it's decent, mine has it.

Sion's zeta helps, as those that damage him will gain Pain and have to keep attacking him, unless they resist. But even if Traya were to die he'd still win in the right circumstances. Fewer banners if she dies, though.

I have the zeta too from the Traya meta glory days, but at this point there are too many other better zetas. I think modding makes a bigger difference for this counter.

The main point of Nihilus' zeta was forcing debuffs onto the opponent so when he did his drain AoE he had a better chance of lowering his annihilate cooldown. Since you're not necessarily relying on it for that reason against bugs it's not really necessary

Nihilus has the rare honor of having not one, but two thoroughly "meh" zetas. Good thing he's still great without either.

Right. I use Nihilus nowadays mainly with Palp and BSF as Grievous counter. For Geos, Traya and Sion can get the job done on their own.

Only if they’re modded and geared properly for the bugs they face. If not, then they need help from the likes of DN and others.
