Do you think that matters?
On the other hand I see Dooku taking down Kreia really fast, not sure if Anakin and Ulic can hold off Vitiate/Nihilus though.
As for the rest of the gauntlet Kreia is outclassed by most and Vitiate will fall in combat to either one of trio Sidious/Plagueis/Caedus.

If the team starts with that technique, then sure, it matters greatly because it won't work on Anakin/Dooku/Ulic.
If they fight smart, they might clear #2.On the other hand I see Dooku taking down Kreia realy fast, not sure if Anakin and Ulic can holf off Vitiate/Nihilus though.

Well firstly it would likely still work. The "defense" against that technique was simply to establish a link to the Force and replenish your reserves as they're being drained. But getting hit by two drains at once, one of them as potent as Nihilus' will likely drain them faster than they can restore themselves.
Secondly no way is Dooku taking her down fast and Anakin and Ulic are thoroughly outclassed by Vitiate and Nihilus. They get ragdolled, blasted by lightning or dominated with TP.
And thirdly it doesn't matter if Traya is outclassed since her and Nihilus Giga-Drain all the way to the finish line.
1. Nihilus as confirmed by the game does not use a form a "Force Drain", rather Nihilus devours an entities connection to the force and feeds on the literal force itself wherever it may be. Additionally Nihilus doesn't need to activate this effect, his mere presence devours the force itself wherever it may be regardless of consciousness.
2. The counter to "Force Drain" is for a user to put a portion of their Force Energy outside of their own self, and in turn create a bubble that stalls the effects of the force drain. Keep in mind this only stalls the "Force Drain", and once they run out of energy to sustain the decoy bubble around them they will feel its effect without any reserves to distract it.
3. Contrastingly Nihilus outright consumes an entities connection to the Force, thus disabling them from using ANY manipulation of the force/energy what so ever. Furthermore, it wouldn't matter if someone tried putting energy around them self as Nihilus devours the Force itself EVERYWHERE simultaneously. He does not go through the force in layers, he outright consumes it wherever it may be and permanently devours all connections to the force AND LIFE.
Here is the quote for anyone wondering
"Kreia: "He... if he can truly be called a man any longer... is one of the dark lords that pursues you. I do not think he knows what you are, not yet. He spared the Miraluka, and that may have been the last shred of feeling that exists within him. Keep his slave close to you. I suspect there was a reason he spared her... and perhaps a reason that she survived when the rest of her people and the Jedi did not. Perhaps he is bound to her... as I am bound to you. If so, there may be a death served by hers. It is a technique that is almost as old as the Sith themselves... it is a means of severing connections between life, the Force, and feeding upon the death it causes. It cannot be taught... it can only be gained through instinct, through experiencing its effects, first-hand.{Quietly}Yes. And he fed upon its destruction - it will sustain him, for a time.Because it is not something that can ever truly be controlled... and it leaves nothing to conquer in its wake.And it rules him, not the other way around. It has its own will, its own instincts.
{Chiding}Power? Do you think so?{Shakes head}You would be wrong. There is no strength in the hunger he possesses... and the will behind his power is a primal thing. And it devours him as he devours others - his mere presence kills all around him, slowly, feeding him. He is already dead, it is simply a question of how many he kills before he falls.Nothing is impossible with the Force. It is an energy that flows through all living things. And like energy, it may be harnessed, channeled, and consumed at times. It may even be a substance that can burn and ignite.Do not think of his power as one would a weapon, or one of your warships of the Republic. It is terrible, but it is still a subtle thing. The sect of assassins that chase you feed on the Force... what he does is simply the pinnacle of what they could achieve, in time. And that is why they - and their techniques - must be wiped out. No one again must experience and learn what her master did. As much as one may use the Force to bolster the wills and strengths of others, the reverse is possible, though not often used. Instead of sending one's will through connections in the Force, instead such connections are drawn upon, fed upon, and drained completely. Then you understand how terrible such a power is. And why it must be ended.It is an empty road to the dark side, and by traveling it, the price is death before one's time. "
I think DE Sidious can manage to survive Nihilus' drain and overwhelm him with his force powers. No matter how inhumanized he became, he is still an individual sith. He still uses a lightsaber. By himself, he can be brought down. However, with Vitiate and Kreia supporting him, team of round 5 goes down.
