MARTIAL ARTS
Darth Nihilus was renowned for his extreme and overwhelming power in the force. However, he was no slouch in martial arts either. Nihilus was known to have defeated both Atris and Sion in one on one combat, as well as many various Jedi knights and Masters. Although it has never been confirmed what form (or forms) Nihilus prefers, I can make a rough guess. Based of his preference for acrobatics and quick, accurate swordplay, I would peg him as a master of both Form 2 and Form 4, something that is supported by fellow Sith lord and student of Traya Sion practicing a similar hybrid form. All of this being said, Nihilus was at something of a disadvantage when fighting against powerful users of the blade, as evidenced by his defeat at Meetra Suriks hands.
FORCE POWERS
Darth Nihilus was a powerful master of the Force by all accounts, able to retain a physical shape despite being little more than a spirit, use Sith lightning with great effect and even through around Darth Traya with telekinesis. And now for the elephant in the room, Nihilus's force drain. Using this power, Nihilus could "feed" off of entire planets, with there being very few effective defenses against his overwhelming strength. That being said, force Drain can't be used in a pitched lightsaber battle and a high enough level force user can whether its effects.
PHYSICAL SKILLS
Nihilus was, at first, a standard human male with no real differences from the norm. However, after being completely immersed in the Dark side and force Drain, Nihilus became more of a spirit or presence, rather than an actual physical being. As such, Nihilus could withstand much more damage than the norm, although he could still be killed by conventional means.
EQUIPMENT
Darth Nihilus, in the grand tradition of the Sith, wielded a blood red lightsaber. His blade was very smooth and even more standard than most blades. He also had some experience with dual wielding.
