Setting: Malachor V

Who wins?

Nox

Nox

Traya

Nox. Her knowledge of Force Sorcery is much vaster than Traya's, and she's more skilled saber wise.

Nox destroys.

Traya. She has more raw power than Nox and arguably better sorcery.

If Nox can beat the drain he wins, if not Traya.

Traya drains him. Easy win.

Traya

I think you guys are forgetting her defense against Sith Sorcery from the ghosts. I doubt she will be easily beaten by just the drain, plus she can throw up a barrier and such and just walk right through it, Nox curbstomps

Traya easily drained 3 Old Republic Jedi Masters/Council Members without breaking a sweat, while simultaneously taking the Exile out of commission as well.

Unless Nox suddenly becomes a wound in the force, I don't see him winning.

Unless Nox suddenly becomes a wound in the force, I don't see him winning. I don't think being a "wound in the force" had anything to do with Exile's win over Traya. Meetra won because she was better, case closed, and comparatively, Meetra is weak when compared to Nox.

IIRC Traya was stronger than Meetra actually.

Based on?

That "wound in the force" bullshit ONLY affects Nihilus. It negates his specific force drain.

There's no way Nox who is the Head of the Pyramid of Ancient Knowledge of the True Sith Empire is going to lose to giga drain. I just don't see it.

This.

And Traya draining three featless and accoladeless Masters who, btw, were not even prepared for her drain, means squat against Nox, who has ridiculously strong Force defenses (top three in the mythos imo).

That doesn't change the fact Nox has no proven defense against drain

The drain won't kill Nox. If it does something, it's gonna be kill his Force ghost(s). There's no way Traya would be able to drain and win like she does against the Masters.

Based on?

That he's basically immortal and won't die unless his ghosts die first/leave him?

And Kreia can casually drain multiple beings at once so...

Has Traya ever drained a ghost...?

Then she drains Nox.

Most top force users haven't shown any defensive capabilities against the drain. That doesn't mean that Traya could just beat them. With this logic, she should be able to kill the likes of Caedus or Plagueis or even Yoda.

I personally don't know who would win for sure mostly cause we don't know how the drain factor would take part in this fight but one thing for sure, Nox is more powerful in the force and more skilled as a duelist.

...Except he won't die unless his ghosts die/leave him. It's not like they're just there and when Nox gets drained they walk out; they're part of him.

Wait, I just derp'd. For some reason I was thinking of Nyriss.....

Once he is drained he is cut off from the force. If he is still alive, I don't see the spirits sticking around with an impotent muggle.

They don't have a choice... Nox binded them to him forcefully. They can't escape.

With the force. Which he doesn't have anymore...

I thought Traya drained bodies lifeless, not the Force specifically. Or does she? I can't remember. If that's not the case, Nox won't be lifeless (because of the ghosts) and will still have the Force.

Cuts you off from the force and feeds on the death, pain, and connection to the force.

Really? When is it stated Traya's drain does all that?

Be in mind that the Force Drain that Kreia and Nihilus uses is a different variant than the 'main' version. So even if a person did have some hope of defense again Force Drain, I highly doubt it would work against the more lethal and rarer variant.

This.

Darth Nox has revived from a overload of Force power due to her spirits and later tanked a Force Lightning Storm from Darth Thanaton before swatting him with apparent ease. The same Darth Thanaton that far before his prime killed Exal Kressh, the Emperor's apprentice. More recently Darth Nox has increased her own immortality through Rakata and Gree devices which also seem to have further empowered herself.
