Cackling doom gives palp 5% max protection until the end of the turn, he also gains +50% protection, under a nihilus lead, which turns sith protection into health, will the protection bonus of 5% be added as health? I assume that the +50% protection it grants will be health.

Fairly certain the intial 50 percent bump gets factored in. Over all I'm not sure if he fits in DN squad though.

Which is true if the protection doesn't get converted into health.

The 5% does not work. The 50% from the unique DOES work. If you are wanting arena, Palp is better than Nihilus lead every time (look at my arena history if you want proof)
@Dryff have you tried DN Sion Wampa GK Talzin? Just curious.
Unfortunately I don't have Wampa, and may Sion/Talzin are undergeared I've seen Wampa and Talzin in Rex teams before, but not in Nihilus lead
Thanks for the tip, I wasn't looking for arena per se, more interested in the mechanics in general.
Under Nihilus, EP won't heal himself with his laugh special, and because your max health pool will be much larger than your enemies, you'll hurt your team more than you'll help them, especially on defense.
Under EP lead, Nihilus doesn't recover health since he doesn't inflict debuffs (his unique doesn't count, despite many complaints). So while he has a great kit, he won't benefit much from EP.
They might work together under Traya, or Maul, or some other lead, but each other? No.
All good points, but outside the scope of the question.
Outside of your original question, but that was answered in previous posts. The conversation goes on. I was just throwing in my take.
I would have Palp for empire for sure, with vader. Nihilus, IMHO, would go well with sion, assassin, trooper and traya. The classic KOTOR 2 formation.
If you were going to do that team Replace GK with Zombie! His health would be crazy and you would have two tanks that just cause havoc all the way around.
Don’t have Wampa but have 7* talz zombie sion and DN I run NS with sion instead of Tali and I’m first in arena on a regular basis.
Not part of the question but my goal is Treya lead DN, Sion, Talz, Zombie for Arena. With Sith Synergy talz and Zombie for Palp/Vader or SiT/Vader
Eh, Nihilus still works great under Palp simply because the Health down and DoTs he applies feed extra turn meter. But yeah, he doesn't get the health recovery which is a shame...
In terms of the other way around, I seem to remember that during the Palp rework they specifically cited Nihilus lead as benefiting from the Health Steal Up provided from the laugh, which is...um...laughable.
At higher gear levels per Mobile gamer (and Ahnald) - EP and DN make up the core of a DS nightmare team.
Really also depends on what everyone else on your shard are running..great vs JTR but may loose hard to NS.
Tested it out for you, all g11/12, zeta on palp, vade, talzin. It works as long as talzin is not fractured/ stunned, but that may just be my mods being incompetent (or lack of other zeta)
My current set up is palp, vader, nihilus, sion, wampa.
