Darth Krayt vs. Darth Maul and Savage Opress

Fight takes place in the Naboo Palace's reactor room.

Legacy Krayt (pre-rez)

vs.

TPM Maul.
Season 3 Savage.

Sabers
Force
All out

2nd scenario: same stips, except it will be Legacy War (post-rez) Krayt.

Who wins?

Hard to say. As a whole, Krayt didn't accumulate very many feats (especially in the area of lightsaber combat.) Aside from toying with Cade, and slaying numerous Imperial Knights, I'd say his best feat in that area was his battle with post-RotS Obi-Wan. During that battle, Krayt (then still A'Sharad) appeared to be more than a match for Kenobi in the saber department. In fact, Kenobi only 'won' after he became visibly angry and used a force attack to rip A'Sharad's arm off (cheap.) Don't know if that's really enough to give him the edge against the likes of Maul AND Savage in a duel, though.

However, in the force and all-out battles, Legacy Krayt almost certainly wins. Legacy War Krayt would dominate even more so.

Really? Thats interesting, I didn't know Krayt was that powerful. Savage Opress's new feats a pretty good, but I suppose he does have the major handicap of not being able to block FLightning yet. I can see that being a gamebreaker.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Using force lightning was Krayt's go to.

You'd think he would have tried to use his lightsaber at least once.

?

Force only is the one in which the pair is in the biggest trouble. Maul's got pretty much no force feats, and Opress has good TK but as mentioned no defense against lightning (all the more-so with no saber).

And of course, post-rez Krayt has Cade's shatterpoint power and can kill with a touch. He was also using force illusion to show Cade a vision of the future but I don't know if that was new or something he always had. Might've been always considering how it's Wyyrlock's speciality and Wyyrlock had to have learned it from someone.

So in a force battle it's not remotely fair 🙂

The best example of which was the first time when he was surrounded by four and it took four attacks to kill the lot of them, with only the Emperor's cousin so much as dodging one blow. No surprise, no catching off-guard, he just owned them.

Lightsabers block Lightning.

Something which Savage apparantly hasn't figured out yet because Dooku was zapping him time after time and he didn't do jack to stop him.

True dat.

"How does one defeat against such POWA!!?"

"Put your lightsaber in front of it, dumb f*ck."

Although one has to also use the force to bend the lightning into the saber.

^ You really think that's what Kenobi did to Dooku's lightning in AotC?

Sure. Otherwise it was complete luck that none of the arcs bent around his saber.

I don't think I've ever equated Force Lightning with real electricity.

Meh, I just don't see AotC Kenobi being powerful enough with the force to bend Dooku's lightning to his will.

I think he simply put his saber in front of the oncoming lightning, and it was absorbed. Done.

Various sources have the lightning arcing around a saber such as Deceived and make mention of the Jedi using the force to bend the lightning into the saber.

Post the quote, plz. Because neither AotC or RotS mentions the Jedi having to use the force to 'bend' force lightning into their sabers. Like I mentioned above: when a lightsaber is placed in front of force lightning, it [the lightning] is simply absorbed or reflected... Just like a blaster bolt (in the sources I'm familiar with, at least.)

"Malgus interposed his lightsaber, drew the lightning to it, and started walking toward Adraas. The power swirled around the red blade, sizzling, crackling, pushed against Malgus, but he strode through it. The skin of his hands blistered but Malgus endured the pain, paid it as the price of his cause." pg 246.

AotC and RotS do not have to explicitly (or implicitly for that matter) mention this for it to be a fact. As mentioned by ares, there are numerous sources stating that this is the case, thereby making it canon, seeing as how it does not contradict any GL material.

AotC Kenobi absorbed Dooku's Lightning with ease. Savage definitely had the power too. I guess it was just more convenient that he was stupid.
