KMC Forums - Darth Bane vs Darth Wyyrlok

Wyyrok takes Force at least. The reason for this is their respective bouts against Darth Andeddu. For Bane:

Reaching out with the Force, he plunged his awareness into the depths of the pyramid's inner workings as the gatekeeper let loose a howl of impotent rage. Thrusting his consciousness directly into the capstone, Bane let his will invade the small four-sided talisman just as he himself had invaded the stronghold of Andeddu's cult back on Prakith.

For a brief instant he could feel the burning inferno of power trapped within threatening to consume his identity._Bane welcomed the pain, feeding on it and transforming it along with all the frustration and anger he had built up over the past four days into a raging, swirling storm of dark side energy. Then, bit by bit, he began to impose order on the chaos, bending it to his will.

Using the Force, Bane began to make subtle adjustments to the Holocron's crystal matrix. He began to manipulate the arrangement of the filaments, twisting, turning, and shifting them with subtle, immeasurable adjustments as he worked his way deeper and deeper into the data in pursuit of what he sought. In many ways it was like slicing a secure computer network, only a million times more complex.

With each adjustment, the gatekeeper's image flickered and cried out, but Bane was oblivious to the simulation's artificial suffering. For several hours he continued his work, his body perspiring heavily, until he finally found what he sought: the ritual of essence transference; Andeddu's secret of eternal life.

With one final push of the Force, he reached out with his mind and seized what he had been searching for. With the aid of the gatekeeper the information would have taken weeks to absorb and learn. Bane, however, had gone right to the source. The knowledge streamed directly from the Holocron into his mind, raw and unfiltered._Thousands of images flooded his consciousness, an explosion of sights, sounds, and thoughts that caused him to drop the Holocron to the floor, breaking the connection.

So essentially:

Bane fought a spirit Andeddu trapped in a holocron; Wyyrlok fought a fully powered Andeddu
Bane was about to be consumed, until he amped himself off of his rage and pain
Bane only slowly overpowered Andeddu; as soon as Wyyrlok realised Andeddu's illusions for what they were, he instantly dispelled all of them, reversed Andeddu's technique on him despite it being his first time using it and killed him with it.

The fact that Bane managed to keep Andeddu at bay for hours is irrelevant, as he only slowly overpowered him despite being amped, whereas Wyyrlok fought a more powerful version and pretty much insta-stomped him with Andeddu's own technique.
