I have Nidus, Inaros and Wukong, complete with adaptation, arcane grace and arcane guardian.

Imo, Nidus is definitely the most powerful of the three, while also the least tanky one. Yes, he might be fucking tanky till lvl 150 but once he falls off, there is no coming back. 1K health just doesn't cut it. Perhaps you could go a little bit higher with a pure strength built but thats it, at some point you'll lose more stacks to undying than you could regain in the same time. But that damage though...

Inaros is the laziest one, because you just don't give a shit about nullifiers, energy leeches etc., while still being able to deal with anything thanks to pocket sand and covert lethality, all while being ridiculously tanky (We are talking 280k effective health with my build, which isn't the best, while regenerating 11k effective health per second). I'd say till lvl 180 stuff, inaros is your best bet. Especially when it comes to nullifiers. (granted, this is only with arcane grace and arcane guardian)

But wukong is the one you pick if you really need to survive crazy stuff. Once the effective DPS is over 60k, there is no one, and I mean no one, (If you say adaption inaros: no, he dies before he can build up the resistance. I tried. Let's not even talk about nidus, all he can do is watch his carefully built up stacks tick down mercilessly) that could tank better than Wukong, simply because arcane grace and hunters adrenaline effectively turns his defy into a closed loop of immortality. One that will last as long as you can recast it every 5 or so minutes. Granted, this comes with the massive downsides that he simply has no other interesting abilities and needs high maintenance with all the recasts and avoiding nullies.

So, no. Nidus can't even compare when it comes to tankyness. He is top 3, but he definitely can't hold a candle to inaros or wukong. He neither has the pure tankyness of inaros, nor the straight up closed loop of immortality of wukong.
