As soon as I got darth nihlus, HE BECAME MY MOST POWERFUL CHARACTER IN A MATTER OF SECONDS

same here and I just used random ass teams lmao

Thank you for spending your spring break to be with your fans.

[@AhnaldT101]

Hey no problem! Its a lot of fun and I've been looking forward to it. You guys are great!

Hey! just wanted to let you know that you helped me a lot with your videos, i watched like 20 full videos from you in the last 1 week and each of them was extremly helpful!I can tell that you put a lot of work and energy to your videos, and wanted to say a huge thanks and also wish the best luck in youtube and ofc in the game as well! =) Thank you so so much! =))

[@amazdutechnologies9523]

I love EMPEROR Palpatine and Darth NIHILUS

[@AhnaldT101]

Me too! Two of my favorite characters!

[@thedogeking]

bro same

[@joehansonn]

I love all the old republic/KOTOR characters in this game. HK-47 is good but nihilius is op. I just wish reven, bastila, carth and the two partners mission and... zablar? Idk. But they could have like a bond type thing. The sith assassin looks dope to. I also love all the names of nihilius’ moves. Like lord of hunger. Sounds so dark... I LOVE IT But remember kids Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, i gain power. Through power, i gain strength. Through strength, i gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The force shall free me

[@DarrylDeSantaTTV]

Commander Cody Nihilus got a rework and they included Marr, Traya, Sion, as well as a Sith Triumvirate raid.

[@joshcosta4816]

There finally adding more kotor 😁

[@azzarobertson95]

"Where did boba go?" Hahahahaha love it! Great video man, learned a few things to implement into my strategy. Thank you! Keep it up!

[@AhnaldT101]

Aaron Robertson Haha yeah I thought it was funny too! Glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@TheDemonicHorseman]

This was the first Ahnald video I watched. Now Ahnald is one of my favorite KZbinrs.

[@CommanderDarkHawk]

Great video. Darth Nihilus became one of my favorites as soon as he was released. One thing to note though, is that all of his attacks are special, so armor penetration actually doesn't mean anything to him, and its the resistance penetration that matters, which is handy because most characters have lower resistance than armor.

[@tomasmartin2315]

I saw a guy in Arena that had a 7 star Nihilus

[@LennY-]

Me too, that must have cost very much money.

[@yuolivierli5019]

He's is a whale! 7 Stars?

[@ladywoodgrill7956]

Tomas Martin Within my first week of starting my new account a few months ago someone had a 7 star Grievous. That same guy has 7 star Nihilus now too

[@mlamferreira]

rich people...

[@SanelyRed]

Got a guy in my guild who 7* Darth Nihilus.

[@RAiN-eh7ft]

Love that you put in Pulp Fiction

[@AhnaldT101]

RAiN Haha yeah for some reason that moment came to mind when making this video.

[@thegoldenfeather5654]

This one guy is enough to clear the last stage of places of power; assuming you played tactically on it

[@gustavosifuentes3991]

So many videos of you are at the top when I search to see what these new (new to me) characters can do. Keep it up !

[@QuestingKnightIV]

I've been rocking Nihilus lead with vader, sith trooper, sith assassin and savage in galactic wars and all i can say is they can entirely solo galactic with practically 10% hp loss at the end of it

[@100StarWars]

If anyone does want to learn more about Darth Nihilus, I have an In-depth Character Explanation video for him on my Channel! More importantly though, I love Nihilus in this game. His kit is so awesome to use, and I have to say using a Sith Team in GW under his lead has made is certainly more bearable! Not to mention his animations and sounds.. Phwoa. Can't wait to get him to gear 11, mines at gear 9 right now, waiting on damned droid callers... Keep up the Good work Ahnald, loving the In-Depth character reviews. (Waiting on Revan next, or maybe the triumvirate :)

[@SanelyRed]

Want to see a Darth Sidious review to see if he is worth gearing up more.

[@LordBorisDane]

I'd love to see a review of the two other new Sith, the Trooper and/or the Assassin :D

[@JoeHerron]

I would love Savage Oppress, Count Cooku, or Darth Sidious. However, I think more people would get greater value out of a Savage video (if you're only looking to do one more).

[@nadrashahnawaz2088]

Can you make a Vader Review

[@yuolivierli5019]

Ahnaldt, please review savage oppress because he got the rework and i just see so many people using him. Also, where would you place Darth Vader now because he has the zeta leadership ability? You put him in Knight but I think he deserves to be higher.

[@yuolivierli5019]

Also Ahnaldt, I think you made a mistake in the protection table but nihilus had 33k protection while the max was 29k ??????

[@AhnaldT101]

Yu Olivier Li I'll see how many votes Savage gets to see if he is getting a review! I'll keep my thoughts on Darth Vader's ranking a surprise for when I rework my table ;) And yeah I noticed the protection typo myself. I'll have it fixed next time. No idea where that number under Sun Fac came from.

[@Jaarka]

I'll second a Savage vote! I've had him 7-stars for a long time and really enjoy him... with all the love Sith have gotten recently, I'm curious what your thoughts on him would be!

[@benswolo5702]

Yu Olivier Li agree Savage Oppress would be good

[@wanoumars]

I do have Savage, he's pretty good :) Gets buffs all the time, inflicts Offense debuff, 50%-health-one-shot-kill (perfect for tough opponents during events), and easy to gear :) I have him under Zador lead, it's fun! He just needs his own ship!

[@madmikelike1]

I think Jedi needs a buff especially made windu. For example Sith have maul who does double damage to Jedi. Literally Mace Windu fighting Vapepad is the hardest counter to Sith. Using their power against them. But made is no good end game I would love so seem get a buff where. If he is attacked by a Sith he gets 100% chance to counter(maybe high percent to crit on stop of that counter and out right fighting sith). Or give him the same bonus that Maul has but against Sith. Let me know what you think.

[@fearthekdot786]

ZETA VADER Review Ahnald!! Love the reviews as always :)

[@diegoherrera120]

I love getting the notifications for his videos. I enjoy how he takes time to get all the information :) Loving it man!

[@AhnaldT101]

I'm glad you are enjoying the videos so much! I'm planning on making a couple more in-depths over the next week so hope you enjoy those too!

[@GustavoVenturaJr]

Awesome vid. Darth Nihilus is awesome and im going to get him in a 1month +2Weeks for sure

[@hereinsertname]

Nihilus is clearly OP, but good job on the video. Do Count Dooku next, please.

[@AhnaldT101]

hereinsertname Thanks glad you enjoyed it! Lots of people want to see Dooku it seems!

[@hereinsertname]

Wow, didn't think you'd respond. Awesome - if you happen to see this comment too, I'd just like to say that I really like what you do here. Keep up the good work!

[@jakebryant2481]

Duh he literally drained an entire planet of life

[@runelsie7454]

Awesome vid Ahnald! I would love a Death Trooper review sometime!

[@bloopy9279]

I was actually reading the same Wookiepedia page on Darth Nihilus yesterday! lol. Also, i was waiting for a review on Nihilus!

[@bryanstraz5102]

Liking Nihilius a lot, great review. Love to see one of the new sith trooper and sith assassin.

[@Κώστας-κ6φ]

In the latest update Nihilus can remove the ability from Boba to respawn, also if you want to increase Nihilus level in the field put him on the lead with Sith allies to gain more health

[@US_Romm]

Count Dooku next, please. I see you have Sidious in a lot of your Sith groups with Nihilus, but I'm really curious how Dooku is since his rework on your scale for fitting in with Nihilus. All the extra hits he does . . . . he would be stealing health like crazy.

[@Azel247]

Nihilus is indeed a monster at 3*, but I feel that the benefit of star count is slightly underestimated here. Aside from health, starring also increases physical damage, special damage, critical chance, resistance, and, most significantly, armor. The gigantic boost in armor is often overlooked and makes a big difference to the resilience of a character. That being said, the cost to star up is too steep at the moment. However, if you can get #1 at arena each day, you can buy one pack of Nihilus every 2-3 days, netting you ~65 shards. You can essentially get him to 5* for free.

[@dbzmaster1213]

A Savage review would be cool! Also DV should be higher then Knight since the updates :) - great vid!

[@ProfessorOakmoss]

Great video Ahnald! Personally, I wouid love to see a Count Dooku review after he got his zeta, shock, uncounterable basic attacks, and his effectiveness against more than just jedi's. Also, who do you think benefited the most from the sith reworks?

[@AhnaldT101]

Zayd Abdalla Yeah I'm really excited for review Dooku! Although an annoying character when the enemy has him it's fun when he's on your side. And in my opinion I think Sidious got the best mini-rework! The expose on everyone is deadly and he's fast!

[@fut1434]

this series of videos are really helpful for us, thank you so much !

[@edbagge]

Anyone remember these as the best videos on KZbin?

[@erikblah]

All the Sith are pretty interesting right now, but I'll put a vote in for Sith Assassin for the new characters, and Savage for the reworks.

[@jefferybob3648]

Just got darth nihilus tonight amazing love the instant kill special is amazing.

[@angelperalessalaices8696]

do a Sith Trooper in depth review plz. He is really good even at 3 stars

[@Aplus96]

Great content! Will you do Sith trooper next? He is awesome under Nihilus lead, ESPECIALLY the health steal and especially with his omega special, he is basically a pretaunter with insane amount of health and armor! I had him solo against quigon and leia once, and I have no idea if it’s a bug or anything, but he counters every attack of leia's multiattack, which means he could counter up to 3-4 times when leia assist!

[@therambolorian]

Been waiting for a new video and I know this one won't disappoint

[@AhnaldT101]

ImDarthVader, Not a trooper Yeah it's been busy this past week so my video production took a slight hit so hope you enjoy this video and the ones to come!

[@therambolorian]

AhnaldT101 I saw you commented and kinda freaked because this is the first time I've had a youtuber respond to my comment. If I had to ask for a Sith review it'd be Assaj Ventress

[@nadrashahnawaz2088]

AhnaldT101 hxgv

[@arnarkristinsson2767]

Darth Nielius is like Obi-Wan in this game. Obi-Wan wasn't very attuned in the Force but he made up for it with training and dedication.

[@Neo2551]

HI Ahnaldt, Thanks a lot for all the videos. I usually agree with your reviews, but I think you should reconsider the grand master class: DN is only useful in a Sith team, much like Maul. EP, GK, Rex, SF and Boba truly are versatile and be in any team and be dangerous. Whereas DN needs a Zaul lead to be truly dangerous.

[@AhnaldT101]

Hey there! Of course people may vary in their opinion and my videos are not gospel. You make some great points for reasons I would normally knock down someone from grand master to master but I did find a lot of use in him outside of sith. I've tried him with Rex teams and others have tossed him in Chirrut and Baze teams. To me he is essentially Boba Fett for the Sith! Boba Fett can ability block everyone and DN can increase everyone's cooldowns by one. They both do the same thing essentially. But you are right he does work amazingly well under Zaul! Thanks a lot for watching!

[@Kickasscomedy94]

Neo2551 disagree. I put him in my teams for the challenges and he helped me beat the last tier for healers and support. He's definitely solid in any line up, but thrives with sith.

[@TheVashness2012]

Armor penetration is useless for Nihilus as he deals exclusively Special Damage, which armor doesn't affect. Look at his Resistance penetration.

[@elessar5934]

Awesome video as always, as for the next review I'd like to see Count Dooku.

[@ramiabokaf7125]

Hey Ahnaldt, coud you please do an in-depth review on Count Dooku or/ and on Darth Sidious? I'm currently having both in my team, however, I'm undecided which one to eventually kick out... Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos a lot!!!

[@AhnaldT101]

Rami Abo Kaf Yeah lots of people want to see those characters! I'll give it another day and see who gets the most votes to go first. Thanks a lot for watching!

[@sfmnightmarebonnie4273]

Hey Ahnaldt, what about to make in-depth review of krennic or deathtrooper? It would be great! :D

[@moechenche2924]

sith trooper and sith assassin please. great job Ahnald

[@thecrosseyedcyclops8302]

I have him (3*) as a leader with a 4* savage, 4* Vader, 7* Chewie (CW), and 6* Boba. It's beast, very sustainable team, but I want more sith to put alongside him.

[@Tahu4266]

still in shock atm, I just got him from a 350 crystals pack, and got yoda today so its a great day

[@timothyb2098]

Tahu4266 $

[@vedranaperic1631]

Tahu4266 do you know will that pack be able again ?

[@JesseEnclave]

Wish I had seen this video when it first game out, because I've probably spent nearly 2000 crystals buying shards for Nihilus from the Shipments, and I did spend 1299 on a Lord of Hunger pack when he first came out(got 5 shards from that...).

[@endres5628]

I am pretty sure, that Boba revived after i tried to "anninhilate" him with Nihilus. Of course he had the bounty hunter's resolve. Now, i will try it again. Thx for this great review.

[@AhnaldT101]

Make sure you omega his annihilate ability! When you omega it that is when characters are not allowed to be revived.

[@endres5628]

Oh, i do not have it yet. Thx for the reply!

[@DarrylDeSantaTTV]

Darth Vader (lead) both zetas, Emperor Palatine, Darth Nihilus (any zeta is fine), Darth Sion (all zetas), and Sith Trooper. OR Traya lead, Sion, Nihilus, any Sith of choice as last two

[@snoopyrogue359]

Do Darth Tyranus the Master of Makashi. Leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Count Dooku!

[@kaibecht1452]

really great video and i also love to play him all the time in Sith teams thanks for the great video man keep going 🖒

[@Osindileyo]

It’s funny looking at this hall of fame given how much things have changed in the game. Wild to think that darth maul was at one point basically the best leader in the game. How things have changed

[@cgarrand08]

Hey ahnald loved the review! Was wondering if you would recommend the $31 to go from three to four star as like a lot of players I have 20/30 shards for him?

[@AhnaldT101]

I'm not going to lie it feels a lot better having him at 4 stars (just more visually appealing I suppose) but at the very most it should cost only $20 to get to 4 stars since each pack will drop at least 5 shards. I'd say its worth it but as I mentioned in the video you can definitely get away with 3 stars.

[@cgarrand08]

sorry i forgot about currency its the same amount but due to exchange rates its $30 AUSD for me which is about $20 USD anyway thank you I've almost saved enough to get one pack with crystals so might be even cheaper for me

[@scottmagnus8541]

Wait, did I just see Vincent Vega? Dude, you are so awesome.

[@AhnaldT101]

Haha yes you did see him! I figured it was fitting for this video :P

[@TroLoLoLPickle]

ahnald ceaseless craving only reduces the cooldown by a maximum of 1. the reason it reset with a 2 turn cooldown is because he has to wait one turn to use the ability

[@kaibecht1452]

And please do Count Dooku as next one ^^

[@firefistgaming117]

Honestly Nihilius is General Kenobi levels of good. he roflstomps time out teams in arena and most importantly destroys chaze teams.

[@Iaintgaybutdollarsisdoll-ge8xm]

Not 100% sure if you accounted for this with the basic reducing cooldown of drainforce. It definitely reduced it by at least one but was it reduced for the second time because of the second effect dispelled or because he used a turn? To find out for sure you would need to have drain force on a cooldown of 3 and dispel someone with two buffs.

[@AhnaldT101]

I ain't gay but 20 dollars is 20 dollars Yeah it's really hard to demonstrate it but that's what I was told about his basic from verified sources. It's just hard to showcase it since drain force has a low cooldown.

[@Azel247]

The only scenario in which this might work is if Nihilus gains retribution from GK and then proceeds to counter an enemy that has 2 or more buffs. Any other way then Nihilus will never have a cooldown of 3 on his force drain.

[@AhnaldT101]

Nicol Bolas Yep thats one scenario or if an opposing Nihilus increased his own cooldown.

[@darrenma9573]

AhnaldT101 Do savage operess

[@dankerbell]

Tarkin should be a best friend because he applies debuffs which help Nihilus with his drain force

[@AhnaldT101]

A Potato Oh yeah he has lots of friends! The list I made was just a small sample of what immediately came to my mind.

[@LiamRodriguez1967]

Oh man I miss these videos

[@snakeman7999]

I zeta'd my Savage Oppress this week and He is a Monster and is like if baze and chirrut had a baby lol! Would like a review on Savage! :)

[@AhnaldT101]

Justin Gonzalez Oh I like that combo you got going on! I got some footage of Savage and his Zeta so maybe we can review him in the next week!

[@lukemarley1333]

I was the first comment that suggested Nihilus lol. Love the video Ahnald!

[@ngohatri6932]

Hi, love your video as always. Keep up the good work.

[@commandermime38]

Man, I wish for these good old days when Nihilus was "one of the more complicated [characters] in the game".

[@jujubean4873]

This video is a pleasant surprise! Thank you very much for this video!

[@azulprusia]

Great video, as usual! For the sith vote, please skip Vader and Palpy (I know you've done them already and I think a Zeta Vader should go higher in the hall of fame) since there are a ton of videos about them. I'd rather see about the reworked siths. I don't use Savage, I always thought he didn't bring much to the table, maybe an In-Depth review would be great. Also, I'd like a Sidious review (too be honest, I'd like a Sith Assasin review too, and a Count Dooku, and so on). But Sid and Savage would be my first choices. Finally (sorry to take so long), you said in the video you're running an entire sith team for arena without tanks. I'd like to know which characters and gear levels, 'cause I'm heading in that direction too, but only have Nihilus, Palpatine and Maul really high. Anyway, keep up the great work!

[@AhnaldT101]

Juan Candal Glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah Vader is going to get bumped up since my old Vader review is ancient. I'm looking to try and get reviews of dooku, Sidious, and savage. Lots of people are interested in them since they went FTP. Dooku was especially fun under a Nihilus lead! Regarding my sith lineup everyone is gear 11! I invested my gear in them a long time ago hoping a Sith meta would come. My mods are about above average and they work really well.

[@azulprusia]

So you're running a zeta Maul lead with Nihilus, Palpatine, Dooku and Sidious? (I love to sprint thru GW with a Nihilus lead, btw)

[@devpatel2433]

I would rather watch a really in-depth video than a faster one were you don't cover everything, so in conclusion I like this longer video about Nihilus

[@darthextremist8352]

That's true about dooku, he basically heals all damage he takes. Also, nihilus is a great leader for galactic war.

[@mechbane7761]

nihilus lead + dooku = immoral gun

[@williamvazzana4923]

amazing video.... definitely one of my favorites

[@dirediredocs]

Casting my vote for a Sith Assassin review.

[@billcipher9068]

Ahhhhhh simpler times

[@abrahamhands776]

Man I'm so sad I came into game a couple weeks after his event...Good thing I just packed him In a 350 card :)

[@unendingvoid]

Ahnaldt, hello. I've just recently found your channel and notice that you're a really good Galaxy Of Heroes player. I'm a level 53 f2p player and have been playing since a few months ago, can you please give me some tips and advice because I'm not really that educated when it comes to the technicality of mods, stats, gear, farming etc.

[@deepathaire9190]

you can just go to this website called swgohcantina or can post your question in the forums

[@unendingvoid]

Oh, thanks. But I still hope he responds.

[@deepathaire9190]

you're welcome

[@tanyeeyong7832]

Hey Ahnaldt, could you please do a review on Dooku?? The synergy between him and Nuhilus is absolute bonkers; not a bad toon as well! Been a fan of him even before the buff! :D

[@AhnaldT101]

Tan Yee Yong Dooku for sure is a leading contender for a review! I tried him out with Nihilis (completely forgot to add footage in this video) but he's actually pretty good! Until someone daze's him or stuns him.

[@tanyeeyong7832]

AhnaldT101 you can totally put the "forgotten footage" in your review of Dooku! one less clip you have to record :D

[@US_Romm]

You quickly mentioned Barriss in with a Nihilus lead Sith group. Would a Zarriss work with a Nihilus lead Sith group, then? That would sound a little over-the-top OP.

[@michael4244]

I think putting offence mods on him is the best. Not only will he do more damage, but he will also regain more health

[@fedyenka2773]

but ceaseless craving only reduces one cooldown it was the end of Nihilus's turn so thats why you can use it again

[@liamconard]

Ahnaldt, please do a Geonosian spy or Gamorean guard review.

[@ThanThreeLess]

I'm running a full sith team, Palp, Vader, Maul, Nihilus - but I'm torn between Sidious and Dooku. Which would be a better choice, Ahnald?

[@LordErman1]

I run a team of Zader Lead, Palpatine, Shoretrooper, TFP and Boba Fett. One of your typical meta teams. I want to fit Nihilus into this team but simply can't and need help. Boba was my first choice but Boba is faster than Nihilus. So usually I open with TFP, then Boba, then Palpatine, then Vader and so on. If I take Boba out, it's my TFP, then it's their TFP and then it's their Boba blocking everything and whatever and whatnot. Taking out Boba breaks the "food chain" so to speak. If I take Palpatine, I lose AoE stun and Shock. If I take Shoretrooper out, Wiggs teams will one-shot someone. TFP as well as Zader are, obviosly, out of the question. So yeah, help? How can I fit Nihilus into a Zader team? Maybe better mods? Or something else?

[@nikokamenov7104]

I am proposing for a second time Savage Opress, I have it at 7stars and 10th gear and is a beast! :D

[@darthdestroyer11]

can you do a count dooku review

[@marinonotmario1578]

They should give Nihilus a spot in the cantina battle ninth node battles, that way he can be obtainable but would take a bit.

[@AhnaldT101]

They'll probably do it in a few months after the people who spent their money had their fun. The second he becomes F2P I'll be farming him as soon as possible!

[@Jettuce]

I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure if Boba has his revive on him when you use annihilate. He will re spawn.

[@AhnaldT101]

+TvvinkyHD If you have Annihilate leveled up all the way no character can revive! If you don't omega the ability then yeah characters can revive themselves.

[@Jettuce]

AhnaldT101 oh alright! Thank you!

[@mike0near]

Savage. because I have finally 20 zeta and Savage's unique is awesome

[@aliasangelalias]

Question to all, I just to "Han Solo" from the Rancor battle. Is he worth the effort to seven stars? If so, where is he important in? Thank you for the Nihilus review.

[@bloopy9279]

i used him in galactic war at 3 stars and used his leader ability with vader, maul, dooku, and royal gaurd. And easily beat the entire thing.

[@bane4416]

awesome video, could you do Darth Sidious next, in my view he is just so amazing after the update!

[@AhnaldT101]

Slxsher-pL Oh yeah I agree with you! Just getting that extra damage over time and expose is so awesome! Lots of people want to learn more about him. He's winning the vote as of now I think.

[@bane4416]

AhnaldT101 great to hear

[@eionevans4929]

My favourite character in the game

[@therambolorian]

I'm farming the team Maul(for damage. Leader), Nihilus (for damage), Echo (enemy buff removal and high AOE), Sith trooper (gives offense down), and Sith Assassin (can deal some good damage and avoid some). Good team or no?

[@shirleykelley8248]

this guy makes my sith team unbeatable

[@vodkavecz]

Darth Sidious would be nice next. He seems to be useful with de new buffs, but ho much more useful?

[@sulieman3291]

I use Palpatine as leader, Darth Vader, Royal Gaurd, TIE Figter Pilot, ST Han.... (the two tanks to guard TIE Figter Pilot) I want to replace 2 of them for Nihilus and Maul, what do you think?

[@Juke847]

do vader rework or savage rework and great video once again

[@YAYSandwich]

I really hope they give him his ship the Ravager as a flagship

[@timsever6679]

Anhaldt101, do you think they're also going to add Darth Malgus and other old republic sith?

[@AhnaldT101]

Timoosethy I would hope so! I also want to see Revan!
