Setting: Kashyyyk moon where the Dark Reaper was used.

Who wins?

Team stomps

Anakin solos, Dooku solos, Ulic probably solos. Nihilus is overated piece of shit. Probably below Darth Traya.

Team drain resistance ftw

Team.

...except for the part where he defeated her? I mean really.


Anyway, no one on this team is soloing,but they definitely could defeat him if they got in close before he is able to drain them, which they can.

Drain resistence?

Now that you mention it, wasn't the Dark Reaper potent enough to drain an entire moon?

Yeah.

Yeah and Nihilus can drain planets with a thought, with the added benefit of not being terrible in combat. There's only so much you can focus on at once.

>Acting like Visas wouldn't agree with me

Meh. It says "when he spoke"... I hear Nihilus likes to monologue for hours. Certainly not as fast as thought.

Kenobi is as wise as Yoda and as strong as Windu < Anakin's opinion.>. Characters opinions are fallible. Why not Visas 's?

Nihilus prays.

For mercy, yes.

No, he prays for assistance. And for one last meal before his armor shatters from the combined aura of his three opponents who are all so much cooler than him.

Nihilus is constantly draining during these monologue's so...

Because she actually saw it for herself several times? Just a guess.

None of these guys are cooler than Nihilus. And Anakin certainly isn't.

That's not what the text says, though.

Anakin saw Kenobi in action more than several times...


Bottom line:

1. Proof Nihilus's can drain instantly (as fast as thought)?
2. Proof Nihilus can drain very powerful Force users like Anakin or Dooku?
3. Speed feats for Nihilus that preclude him being overwhelmed by the teams speed?
4. Question: Is drain resostence that the team knows sufficient on itself to secure the team from N.s drain?

The text doesn't say he needs to monologue either. There's really no point here.

And he rarely sees Yoda or Windu in action. Not only that but the two situations are hardly comparable. Timing something and comparing relative power are nowhere near the same.

It's shown.

The fact that an entire planet and some of the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy were all killed in a matter of hours, as well as total destruction of the environment around them.

Which I never claimed.

Obviously it helps, but acting like it's an auto win for team because they can resist drain is stupid. What will win this for the team is superior combat skills and numbers.

Team stomps.

It says when he spoke, that means the moment he made an audible noise the entire planet died.

The team dies instantly

It says he spoke.

Speaking =/= as fast as thought. I think you agree?

The point being that characters' opinions and guesses are always fallible, at least to a degree. Don't you agree?

Anakin pegs Kenobi at Windu's power level, Bane claims that Kas'im is the greatest duelist that ever lived, etc.

In short, I do not feel compelled to take Visas's opinion at face value.

I recall seeing the art of the comic. Hard to say how fast it was. Certainly didn't seem instantenous to me tbh, but feel free to post it.

quantity =/= quality

We've seen that Force users (even unrefined) but possessing some degree of innate power can withstand planetary attacks (Zannah).

I venture a guess that none of the mooks N. killed on Katarr where even close in power to Anakin, Dooku or Ulic.

I reiterate the question: Has Nihilus ever successfully drained anyone of the same Force-tier as the team?

I am well aware, and hope you didn't take it as something I was trying to pass off as your claim.

It was more a general observation/question. I have a feeling that speed comparision between Nihilus and the team will not be flattering to big N.

I don't think I am acting like that tbh. I am rather sceptical on N.'s trademark attack, though. Yet, agreed on the assertion on combat skills and numbers

My contention was also to ask if you consider the defence that the team knows to be sufficent to defend themselves from N.'s drain.

I said it to tick people off. It seems I've succeeded.
