Darth Nihilus: True Sith Lord?

Doesn't matter really. If Nihilus decides to drain the force out of you, like he did on a planet, your damn screwed. Unless your Exile.

I'm telling you, Kadash. I looked up every post SW Legend has that have the words Nihilus and Malak in them and I found that quote from Sith'ari but that's all.

So, there's nothing more about Nihilus in the Evil Never Dies, Advent?

Depends how close they are to each other.

Unless they're sabers are any more than 3 feet, I'm guessing pretty close.

Exactly, if Nihilus was so uber, then he would've just drained the Exile right then and there. So either he's stupid, or his draining takes a while.

He couldn't! The Exile was a wound in the force, he could not be drained like other Jedi and whatnot. Nihilus tried to, but that is why he couldn't. If the Exile were not a wound in the force, I guarantee you he would have died.

She still would have died if Nihilus hadn't decided to drain her and had just cut off her head.

He had her at his mercy.

Exactly, if he didn't try to drain her and waste his energy, then she would have died. But he did not know about her being a wound in the force, so he had to try it anyways.

What about her?

And what of Visas?

I quote myself again, "Did you play the game", then again I don't blame you, my memory is also faulty.

I think Exile somehow disconnected or severed Visas from the force, thus when Nihilius tried to drain her it failed and weakened him. I forgot, anyone here able to play the Ravager level again? If so, please explain what happens. Although not 100% correct source, heres wikipedia:

Since the Exile had severed her tie to the Force she was basically of his same nature, so when Nihilus tried to feed on her, he exhausted himself and became vulnerable.

I think I remember that now, but the quote is directed towards the Exile in Wiki.

This what I'm wondering, after seeing Visas betray him, why didn't he drain her? Why didn't he drain Traya when he and Sion cast her out? What the hell was he waiting for?

That's why I said, his drain either takes a while to take effect, or he can only use so often, or he's a moron driven by instincts. "Get the Exile first, she's a bigger meal. Never mind the other threats I could easily get rid of."

Game mechanics. He drains the Exile first then fights them all in a lightsaber battle then the next thing that happens is the Exile making a choice of attack. Nihilus never really fought her one-on-one or had the opportunity to drain her.

Why didn't he drain Traya when he and Sion cast her out? What the hell was he waiting for?

I recall hearing of a quote about him wanting to humiliate Traya but I'm not sure.

He was going after the one that threatenned him the most, and if he killed her, then the other two would just be like shooting fish in a barrel.

And the reason I think why he didn't use it so much is because it is like the normal Jedi in the Clone Wars, they had the Force and could easily kill multiple droids at once, but they didn't use it very often, they stuck with their lightsaber, perhaps Nihilus did something similar.
