Is Nihilus ever returning to shard shop?

Shahram1222

Considering how meta he is in this game and how you now need 7 stars to get gear 12, wouldn't it only be fair to make nihilus available in the shard shop again?

Riffinator

Nope

Darknessie

Doubt it. He is easily farmable now with 5 goes.

Wouldn't imagine he will. He has a permanent farming spot. Yes a hard one but he is a great toon and they don't want him to be easy.

Getting 1 shard a day isn't exactly an easy farm.

Just cause it isn't easy doesnt make him unfarmable. DN was in thr shard shop for the longest time out of any toon.

I am sure he will eventually show back up with the normal 2 shard rotation like the other characters one day.
I hope that is the only way he goes back. He is overused.

No put Krennic back in there. He was in for a very short time.

You said "easy" farm. He's clearly not an easy farm. And I never said he's unfarmable.

In my shard, which is around may 2017, the only people who have him had to buy mega packs or use a ton of crystals. So he's very difficult and expensive to get.

He won't be returning to the shard shop I'd wager.

The day they removed him was the day I promoted him to 6*. The next 100 shards took me drastically longer than the previous 100 but it's still doable. Just get to farmin'

Nope. Don't count on it. Unless more KOTOR toons come out, he's stuck on a hard node. They may re-offer him in a pack eventually, but never again in the shard shop.

Plus he has his very own slot in the crystal shop

Not really, unless you are buying refreshes.

Well duh, of course he's hard to get for anyone who's only been playing since may. Do you want every lvl 75 player running around with an instakill on their arena team?

Parableman

It's not one shard a day anymore. It should average out to 1 and 2/3 shards a day or five shards every three days. That's still about two months to go from 6-star to 7-star, but it used to be more than three months. That's a substantial improvement.

Stevesaint74

I don't think there is a link between meta toons and shard shop, so I don't think that's works in practice, otherwise a lot of players would have access to meta toons shards more easily and the arena would get stale quicker. I also think if they put him back in EA wouldn't get the sales they want now he is available in shipments.

It's frustrating and I feel your pain, I wish I had gone all in on baze when he was in there.

EclecticsScott

No, he's farmable. Fulcrum needs in there, though.

dad2my3

I'm finding that lately, he is either dead before he annihilates, or I already won the match. I don't think I'll be using him much longer.

Friecke74

I wonder if they are gonna release more KOTOR characters. They were/are some of my favorites

sneeekypants

I see DN usage going down in the future, he's low toon on the totem pole. So many ways to neuter him now, he's starting to become a vacant slot on defense like Zylo.

Since you bring up semantics, how is "easily farmable" different than just "farmable"? What is the opposite of "easily farmable"?

I like his leader ability for countering certain builds that rely on being crit (Kenobi with Barriss, Darth Maul, etc) but otherwise I think he's a pretty Win More character. He'll quicken a game you were going to win anyway, but won't do too much on his own.

This ^^, I'm sorry to say is the only way he will be going back to the shard shop.

You just stated the reason why he's not going to the shard shop.
Who knows, maybe he'll be in the new Guild store. I just hope Shore and Krennic will be there.

Lol if it’s one shard.
