I was wondering if anyone had attempted yet. I'll definitelly gearing Nihilus up to G10/11 as soo as I can. I did a test drive at G8 and, as expected, it didn't worked lol.
Also, does his unique zeta is a must-have? I wonder how beneficial it would be. Toughts?

Close to my initial toughts too! Great that the zeta is not a must-have, I'm with one ready but not sure to whom I'd slot in.
I'm running Vader(Z) leader, Palpatine, TFP, GK and Boba Fett. I'm willing to teplace Boba with DN since he has an effective ability block, dispell and insta-kill such as Boba on my lineup, but as Sith, he will also get the bonuses from Vader.
Interesting combo with Barris zeta! Barris will make the team strong for sure. Don't have Chaze, so I may try soon Vader(Z, L), TFP, GK, DN and Barris(Z). Seems to be quite good!
Palp heal do not work under Nih lead..
Barriss' zeta healing ability does not work for Sith under a Nihilus lead, as they can only regain health from a health steal. A player in my guild confirmed this when asked.
His heal actually does work under nihilus
Not tested but, since Palpatine can cause damage, that damage gives him 150% health. Isn't it that is happening? I'll test it uot soon, as I reached G10/G11 siths enough to play in arena.
That's exactly what happens. The heal itself doesn't work but since he can cause damage to rebels/jedi/shocked opponents and cause damage to everyone in the battle, he still heals. But that's from the damage being caused, not the heal itself. Barriss is a regular heal, it wouldn't work

I don't think that the Deathmark would result in any higher damage than any other debuff. I believe the mechanic is that Culling Blade clears the buffs, then applies damage. But yeah, any debuff is a good debuff.
Nice videos! Out of curiosity, do you have any comp like this in your shard to try out?
Rex, Kenobi, Barris (zeta), Chirrut, Baze
Maul(zeta), Palpatine, Darth Nihilus, Chirrut, Baze
These are comps that are resonably tought to defeat, and I wonder if Nihilus makes them somewhat easier.
Thanks!
That was my initial tought, but with Boba instead of DT and Kenobi instead of Krenic. Three hit-kill with high damage to take advantage of and that will benefit from the Vader permanent DoT.
Interesting vid but I don't think it's feasible for most Zader teams to be able to go before at least EP on a Zaul team. I'm interested in seeing a Zader Zihilous team go second and still clean up shop.
