Emperor's Shadow Guard vs 3 Magna Guards

Started by Incanus5 pages

There is where you are wrong. Shadowguards are barely trained, they are ment to silently kill some1 then leave. You are also forgetting they wernt trained to fight force-users, only anyone with no ability to command it. Force-users in this era were uncommon, as you know, so they would not be used to hunt them. That was Vaders job. Magnaguards were made in the time that force-users were plentiful, and were programmed to fight and even kill some of them.

True, however I haven't seen one instance where a Magnaguard has slain a Jedi, even Tano, killed some, and she had barely built her saber by then.

But Tano is made for little girls to say "Mommy! I want to be like her!" Otherwise Tano would be slaughtered by a single IG 100 grey Magnaguard. And i said most likely kill some, as in Padawans that arnt that powerful. Over the course of the war i would say at least 1 magnaguard had slain a jedi.

yes, but magna guards wouldn't withstand force lightning which shadow guards were able to wield, they would short circut.

She'd probably be killed by the Hutt she was carrying. CIS aside, the point is semi-valid.

No one has said the material with which a Magnaguards outer casing was made of. They may not be conductors.

I was just looking that up, I can't find any source showing what it's made of, though there staves are ligtsaber resistant I wonder if they could catch the lightning on there?

and just for the record shadow guards were highly trained. And the magna guards outer casing is made of duranium. that doesn't matter because its inner circurty is still vunreable in some spots.

Idk. Looked up on shadow guards, they WERE sent to eliminate suspected jedi, but not 1 case has been recorded in which they actually succeeded. Vader ended up doing all the work. They were a cadre of soldiers in the Imperial Guard, founded and led by palpatine himself. They had a lightsaber pike along with a heavy blaster pistol. Magnaguards trained to fight jedi against guys that were trained to kill them but never actually succeeded. I would say it depends on the power and skill of the guard, then the Magnaguards chance can be formulated.

but i'm not sure if duranium is a conductor or not.

I dont think it is, as they possibly took into consideration that they may fight rogue dark jedi who knew lightning. Plo Koon could apparently do it, so they would have to be lightning proof to fight him.

All i could find:
Duranium was a substance much stronger than either Transparisteel or Bronzium. It was extremely durable, light, and was capable of withstanding a glancing blow from a lightsaber; however, it also had a very high melting point, making it difficult to shape. It was however, fool proof against blasters and slugthrowers, only the continuous heat of a lightsaber able to melt through it.

Nothing about it being conductor or not.

Hmmm, if it can take a glancing lightsaber shot, i would say it would be able to stop lightning with a full body suit, which the Magnaguards have.

they're some openings in their armor.

But the thing is, can the guard hit them with teir style of fighting, which is more of a twirling motion with their staff? He would have to strike at precisly the right time, or he would miss.

yes, but force lightning would cosume the droids entire body. and once the lightning reaches the droids interior circurtry the magna guard is done for.

The guard will electrocute 1 for a few minutes so it is down, because the lightning will have to utterly destroy all circuitry before the droid dies, and by that time the others will kill him.

not necessisarily, if the shadow guard destroys one with lightning right from the beginning he has a chance. i figure he also destroys at least one magna guard with his saber pike.

Yes, he kills at least 2 of the 3, but he will die with the 3rd. His pike will be in another Magnaguard, one lays smoking in a heaping pile, the other has its staff in his back.

the shadow guard also has a very highly powerful blaster pistol with him which he could use to shoot the third magna guard if he still doesn't have his saber pike. plus i doubt the magna guards staff could penatrate the shadow guards armor. (mabeye after repeated strikes.)
