Count Dooku vs Darth Baras, Darth Angral & Darth Lachris
Dooku arrives on Balmorra to make diplomatic negotiations with Baras, Angral and Lachris regarding the turnover of the planet from the Empire to the CIS. The deal goes south quickly and all four Sith draw their lightsabers. Whoever wins gets control of the planet, so everything is at stake here.
Bonus: Dooku comes in flanked with two Magnaguards, while the Sith trio attempt to assassinate him immediately and catch him off-guard without any negotiations. Can they eliminate the Count?
Well, I'd expect Tyranus to fall in the main scenario, but in the bonus, the two Magnaguards could preoccupy Angral long enough for Dooku to take on both Baras and Lachris, the latter of whom is a drastic weak link and can be removed quickly. Dooku certainly takes Baras - it's only a question of whether he can bring Baras down before Angral takes down the Guards.

Pre-prime Lachris tagged Marr with lightning, though being Marr he only flinched. She has pretty good durability feats, such as continuing to fight beyond a concussion and stuff. In the game she is obviously a lot stronger and presumably gave Thor a good fight, given Thor's own dialogue. Act II Thor is already a beast by that point.
She should take a pair of magnaguards quite easily with her powers.

Superb argument as always, Dooku defeats any one individual here easily, but there are three of them, all are capable of strong Force powers and none of them are stupid. If Dooku wins it is damn close.

But really, strong Force powers? As individuals, none of their Force abilities are a threat to Dooku, and he isn't going to give them an opportunity to unleash a combined assault.
Dooku well exceeds them in lightsaber combat, and is fully capable of holding all three off at once almost indefinitely. And though under those circumstance he can't press an offense, all he needs is to create an opening in which he can KO Lachris or Angral with his TK, and its game over for the remaining two.
Throwing in magnaguards is overkill, especially if it's Dooku's elite.

KOing Lachris isn't easy, give Lachris pre-prime was tanking a massive concussion whilst maintaining her faculties and even conversing, before Marr finished her. Darth Baras is infact very powerful, the Wrath is just even better.
What, pray tell, will Dooku do against the inevitable sorcery brought to bear against him?

Anyway Dooku > Marr, and he's KO'ed Kenobi, whose head is harder than permacrete. He'll manage. And I never said anything about Baras, Angral would be his other target.

Well, Angral was offered a spot on the Dark Council, (and given his status as a warlord and direct servant of the Emperor, that probably hasn't much to do with manipulation,) and he slaughter stomped Orgus Din, who collapsed a relatively large cave.
Baras is a different kind of animal, though. Baras was, "considered by many to be the future of the Empire," cowed half the Dark Council into line making him believe he was the Voice, (essentially the embodiment) of the Emperor, Maneuvered the Emperor into a trap with Sel Makor, (who in return granted Baras an amp, which would presumably be pretty immense, considering he gave Makor the most powerful force user in the galaxy,) and was invincible so long as he had the amp of the Entity (Traya). Even without the entity, Baras was still believed to be, "nigh indestructible," and gave the Emperor's Wrath a fierce and intense duel. When you consider the fact that the Wrath has defeated powerhouses such as Darth Ekkage, (considered one of the greatest sith assassins in all of history, perhaps the greatest weapon in the Empire, casually oneshotted a sith lord with a burst of FL, etc,) Master Wyellett, (classified as a superweapon by the Republic, defeated pre prime Baras with the help of his apprentice, saved multiple jedi council members from an alien race called the Starweird, etc) and Emperor Vitiate being possessed by Sel Makor, and also considering that Baras wasn't at his peak when he fought the Wrath, it's pretty well established that Baras is legit.
With the aid of Lachris and Angral, team prevails.

At his absolute peak, he's probably around Maul. Though his saber skill is mostly implied with his fight with the Wrath, he's immensely powerful as highlighted above.
