Worth spending crystals to unlock Nihilus or Sith Trooper?

MOST Sith are still merely ok but DN will always have a place in this game due to his incredible utility and Palp's lead is only making him better. The good news is @DarthDyna that he is still viable at less than 7* and is a worthy roster addition. You could run him in arena in place of Tarkin, either one works there. Even if you don't run him in arena immediately he is still worth having especially since he will have synergy with Sion and Kreya.

SiT is also a very good toon and his upcoming tweak will only make him better. That being said, I've found that he needs at least 3 other Sith to keep his buffs rolling (this may change with him getting a pretaunt). Given your roster I don't know if you'd really benefit from using him as a tank at low stars. KRU isn't ideal there but you don't have any better options at the moment.

For reference I am currently running zEP (lead only), zzDN, Vader, SiT, and Thrawn. I tried Tarkin over DN at first but like I mentioned above, there weren't enough Sith specials going out to get SiT taunting (especially since my Vader got fractured early).

I loved Nihilus when I got him early via shipments. At all star levels.

But, I had left the game and came back, so I was far from the top of my shard.

I tried to get SiT later, but at g8 and 3* he felt as tough as the tougher members of the team (DN, DV, and if Palp was regening under DN lead, Palp) but without any of the damage or other perks.

In hindsight, sticking with him and gearing him more probably would of helped big time. But that's my experience from someone who's not far ahead of you (in arena strength, kinda bigger everywhere else). I've heard great things about him. But also he doesn't work that well alone with how easy it is to get around one tank.

To summarize, DN should work, no experience with Sion (duh) but I'd try it, dunno but doubtful about SiT.

Also, you've got a lot of your better speed secondaries on your arena team, but at first glance Ezra and Rex could give a couple up.

Palp leadership will be a huge benefit to you.
DN is great, but you can survive without him.
Get the best speed mods you can for vader and dont stress.

DN not worth it at this stage of the game.
