Palpatine one-shots all rounds.

Q99
These are not fodder:

Kopecz
Anoon Bondara
Bultar Swan
Tenel Ka Djo
Ganner Krieg
Wolf Sazen
Darth Stryfe
Darth Maladi
Darth Azard

And some of the others are... while fodder in the early fight, may have an effect once Sids is worn down.

Sidious dies, too many force users.

Azronger
Please someone tell me how the team is winning this.

All these force users could defeat the wounded father of mortis let alone Palpatine. Numbers become a factor, when they're over 3 or 4 but there's like 20-30 fcking force users here.

Sheev cleaves through them, lmao.

Yeah, it's quite baffling to me how this team could do anything to Sidious, when he has fought for hours against hundreds of Kursid warriors (way more than here) without sustaining a single hit, and then improving to the point where he can stomp said incarnation in a saber duel.

This is without even considering Force powers.

LMFAO

Q99
Kopecz was one of the only Sith lords who was a rival/threat to Kaan and had to be talked into joining.

Non force users <<< force users. Beating hordes of mundane is not something that shows one can beat a Jedi Battlemaster, multiple Sith Council members, one of the top Imperial Knights, other Jedi of effectively Council level like Sazen, etc. etc.... all at the same time.

No-name knights can take dozens of mundanes- Darth Maleval, One Sith Fodder waltzed through normal soldiers and had fun doing it.

A number of the people listed could take hundreds.



Rather the point- Force powers helps the group, because Sidious cannot do force powers on all of them. He will have to be spending his force omph defending against lightning and force pushes, or using the force to amp his mobility and jump around dodging it, and he cannot focus his full force power on a single person for very long at all.


Sure, if he does focus down on someone, they're dead, but... do people here not get that in a group fight, if you spend two second killing someone, then that means 9 people are all going to throw attacks *during those same two seconds* and not wait for him to finish before attacking?

So? Kaan himself admitted to being no match for a trainee Bane, who then grew far more powerful through to DoE, and then Sidious gets thirty generations of verified successive power growths.



There's lots of precedent for Force users taking on lots of no-name Force users; see Meetra Surik and Revan. And the gap between Sidious and Kopecz is much larger than the gap between Meetra and one of the sith on Malachor.



Why can't he? Could this group together have unbalanced the Force itself? Because Palpatine did just by existing after Plagueis's death, per the novel.



Their attacks are literally orders of magnitude less potent than his. He just needs a modestly powered barrier.



Those 9 other people can't throw attacks on him at once, particularly if he's in close quarters.
