Ancient Sith above Vader?

The Ellimist
Which of the pre-Banite sith could beat Vader for a majority in Force, sabers, or all-out?

IMHO

Force: Exar Kun (possible), Vitiate
Sabers: Exar Kun (possible), Tulak Hord (possible)
All-out: Exar Kun (possible), Vitiate

Total Warrior
I would put Freedon Nadd among the possible sith stronger than Vader. He was said to be stronger than Ragnos, someone that both Kressh and Sadow respected and feared

AncientPower
Force: Exar Kun, Vitiate, Marka Ragnos, Karness Muur, Freedon Nadd(possible).
Sabers: Exar Kun, Tulak Hord(possible), Ulic Qel-Droma(possible).
All-out: Exar Kun, Vitiate, Marka Ragnos, Karness Muur.

Aside from Vitiate, and Kun on a good day, none of them. I'm sure they where powerful enough in their own times, but they've got nothing to support them but legends by followers who perceive anything they do as godly, though I'm sure this thread will continue to prove the obvious that KMC cares more about opinions than actual facts.

This tbh. Exar Kun could win and Vitiate probably does, but arguments for other sith tend to be based on vague hype rather than any combo of feats or solid accolades.

I mean, it's not just a matter of exposure - if suit Vader has half of his former potential, that's still potential on the level of Sidious, and so by RotJ he should have far surpassed most of the ancients.

Sometimes I feel like arguing RotJ Vader > off nexus novel Vitiate depending on starting distance.

JKBart
Meh, novel Vitiate+ absolutely murderstomps Vader without acknowledging his existence

The Ellimist
Like how he killed Scourge with a gesture and easily detected and caught Meetra's saber throw without a nexus?

Ziggystardust
Both are probably better than Vader tbh.

Petrus
Yeah, Vader isn't winning against Vit.

Ziggystardust
Vader couldn't even beat old Ben.

He can lift up big stuff with TK though thumb up

Nephthys
Force: Kun, Nihilus, Traya (Giga-drain possibility) Vitiate (if counted), Hord, Muur, Dread Masters, Jadus (possibly), Malgus (possibly), Nadd (possibly).

Also for people who are saying Muur can take him, should that extend to Ajunta Pall as well?

Freshest, your advice is nice and all but it only applies when someone's particular bias is in play.

Vader did look awful against old Ben.

Do you understand the meaning of circumstances?

The novel makes it explicitly clear that Vitiate would have smoked them even with Revan in the picture in an actual fight. Lord Scourge experienced a very strong vision of this confrontation while he slept in the cave and the outcome was not pretty for him and his allies in it. Earlier, Lord Scourge felt confident that Revan could handle Vitiate after watching him destroying Darth Nyriss with barely an effort. However, his visions began to confuse him and he eventually balked.

You underestimate (novel) Vitiate way too much. He would utterly humiliate Darth Vader and more.

Emperordmb
I have a lot of respect for Neph tbh, but Traya being on his list makes me want to drive a spike through my head.

You mean like how Sidious mind****ed Leia when she tried to judo throw him, or how he blew Vaders arms off, or levitated out of the shaft or killed Han Solo with a thought?

👍👍👍👍

In other words, FEATS FEATS FEATS... BUT RUMORS WILL DO JUST FINE WHEN I NEED THEM TO

Nephthys
Don't we have a pretty direct comparison between Vader and Muur tho?

The_Tempest
Not to my knowledge? I do recall Vader musing that joining Muur would just potentially be trading one Master for another.

But that's also Vader weeks after ROTS.

Petrus
What made Vader say this? Did he just sense Muur's power or something?

It's in the comic where he finds Celeste Morne.

That wasn't peak Vader.

S_W_LeGenD
^^^

That wasn't peak Karness Muur either.

FreshestSlice
Based on what exactly?

Petrus
Still, if we are to take Vader's interpretation of Muur's power as valid, that would mean he's at least > RotS Vader.

DarthAnt66
Vitiate is clearly above Vader. So is Revan, if we're counting him.

Kun and Ragnos should be around Vader's level.

Hord, Nadd, Sadow, Pall, and Muur should be slightly below.

Karness Murr would be weaker than his physical self yes.

The difference is likely greater than Vader's improvements - which as I recall, were mainly lightsaber revisions.

MS Warehouse
Muur's spirt helping Morne was more than enough to overcome Krayt. Safe to say he's superior to Vader.

Seeing as how Skywalker is Vader for longer than he's Anakin, this tells us pretty much nothing about how Murr stacks against RotJ Vader.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean much in regards to my comments unless you think post-RotS Vader = RotJ Vader.

I said, if Vader's estimates on Muur's power are to be taken seriously, then Karness Muur > Post-RotS Vader .

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Palpatine's clone bodies are inferior vessels. Therefore he's weaker in DE than he is in TPM. erm

Nephthys
I think Ant should be credited as more biased than me and Temp considering the hysterics he's gone into when someone questions Revan and the amount of effort he puts into championing him. Dude did literally go from my no1 fan to loathing me just because I said Zannah > Revan.

Yeah, if those situations were even remotely comparable. Ragnos was way more dead than Muur was.

True enough, but Ant's bias is spread throughout more era instead of concentrating into one or two characters. He's basically the One Sith to you or Temp's Rule of Two.

Temp is smart though, which sort of makes it less palpable.

However, I will also say that, like Sidious, Exar seems to outmatch Mace in the Force and that Sidious's lightning was repulsed only when Mace was immersed in Vaapad -- which according to the novelization, takes a bit of time. Should Kun pull off an amulet blast or whatnot before such an event, I could see him defeating Mace with the Force.

Claims don't defeat actual showings, especially not ones as impressive as Vader's. Randoms in TOR can blow up cities, if claims are treated as fact. But they aren't, so no one gives a shit. Go in the corner, cry about it, and get over it.

When they claim stuff that has ACTUALLY happened, as opposed to saying "well, this person CAN do this".

When whats usually said is "Well, the ancients HAVE done this".

Which means they directly saw it happen.

By your logic, every single claim in the SW EU is not valid.

Spirit Muur was said to be stronger than Vector Vader by the Narrator. I would say Prime Muur>Prime Vader because of that since both at their weakest Muur>Vader.

An asteroid doesn't need to be earth sized to do enough damage to leave massive devastation. It doesn't matter if they did it to "look cool" the fact of the matter is that is the ships capable firepower with the small turbo lasers. It has enough firepower to vaporize large ship sized asteroids. It's only logical to assume the small turbo lasers have more power than large asteroids. This means, logically speaking, a barrage from the small turbo lasers would be like beating a planet with an asteroid field.

Except it is even more than that. When an asteroid enters a planet's atmosphere it begins burning up. Therefore, it loses a lot of it's mass, and power. In this case a turbo laser wouldn't. A barrage of small turbo laser fire would annihilate a country with capable ease. If not even more than a country. The large turbo lasers? We can only speculate the damage they'd do but by simple scale it would be apocalyptic at the very least.

Except it is even more than that. When an asteroid enters a planet's atmosphere it begins burning up. Therefore, it loses a lot of it's mass, and power. In this case a turbo laser wouldn't. A barrage of small turbo laser fire would annihilate a country with capable ease. If not even more than a country. The large turbo lasers? We can only speculate the damage they'd do but by simple scale it would be apocalyptic at the very least. Nothing the size of the destroyer. We see much smaller asteroid also destroy much smaller asteroids in the same manner as the lasers. How is it more logical when smaller asteroids crashing into each other have the same result as the lasers. That's the point. We don't know how many shots what kinds of devastation. I am sure those lasers would rip diaries apart but we don't know to what extent. An asteroid also obliterates structures located on the destroyer so it's the same kind of fictional obliteration. We as fans try to make sense of something the filmmakers just made to look cool with the special effects available at the time.

Point is this is entire speculatory which is what I tend to try to avoid basing claims off of.

Kun and Ragnos should be around Vader's level.

Hord, Nadd, Sadow, Pall, and Muur should be slightly below.

I figure Vader has several peers amongst the ancient DLOTS'. At the very least, such is implied by the council on Korriban reserving a seat for him in Dark Empire. From what we've seen of Karness Muur, Naga Sadow, Freedon Nadd, Exar Kun, and Darth Revan, it's not outside the realms of possibility that the likes of Marka Ragnos or Tulak Hord could have been Vader's betters.

Still, bar Vitiate, there shouldn't have been any Sith in the Old Republic era whose powers surpassed Vader's by any sizable amount.

@NewGuy01 - Of all the Ancient Sith, who do you have above Vader?

Is my answer. Because of how vague and unknown these characters are, it's impossible to say for sure if they're stronger or weaker than him, but I think that there are several that could be considered his peers. Karness Muur and Exar Kun are the most measurable examples.

Vitiate is the only one who is definitely above him.
