Darth Bane -vs- Exar Kun (The Ultimate Duel)

Their ultimate duel.

Darth Bane, at the peak of his power, knowledge and skill - versus Exar Kun, at the peak of his power, knowledge and skill.

Time and Space have whisked these two warriors away, to the distant world of Lehon - where a young Darth Bane fought and defeated the magnificent Kas'im.

The Ultimate Duel begins on the Ground Floor of the Rakata Temple.

Now, Sith Lords Bane and Kun take each other on in a 3-stage scenario trial:

Darth Bane without Orbalisk Armor against Exar Kun .

Starting Distance Between Opponents: Five Feet.

Darth Bane With Orbalisk Armor against Exar Kun

Starting Distance Between Opponents: Twenty Feet.

Darth Bane Against Exar Kun - Force Powers Only.

Starting Distance Between Opponents: Thirty Feet.

Setting:Lehon(Rakata Prime), Temple of the ancients (Ground-floor)

Remember, 3 Stages! 😉

kun

Amulets are just to OP to get around. Even for Bane.

1. Bane
2. Kun
3. Kun

In all out battle he may be able to close distance and keep Kun on the defencive with his lightsaber, so he could win the all out battle.

Lets not forget that Bane has his own weapons too liek Fporce Storm.

I'm thinking Bane would win all out - by the skin of his teeth.

Bane without Orbalisks loses, IMO.

The other stages are more difficult to figure out.

Don't forget, Bane knows exactly how to beat an opponent with a double bladed saber, I would give him the win in 1 and 2. Though with the Amulets, Kun takes it in 3.

Orbalisks shouldn't protect from the amulet blasts. They are likely dark side energy which means they can burst the Orbalisks like Bane's lightning did.

But it is not darkside energy it is electricity that damages the orbalisks like when the assassins used stun pikes on them.

So you're saying his Orbalisks are basically useless against Exar Kun?

Exar Kun's amulets never impressed me.

Bane takes it in all three scenarios, imo.

Those pictures of Kun (the third one especially) are G-Status, though. What a baller.

he has other great weapons such as mind tricking more than 1000 people in one of the comics.

Plus, the amulets are imo probably the single best short range weapon in all of canon. He can fire them repeatedly and quickly and they can grow really large in size easily equipping someone's body (probably building size). It doesn;t really matter if orbalisks can defend against them imo as bane will still need to protect his head.

Do people think someone like The Secret Apprentice could tank them? darth Maul can quite possibly do it.

At maximum distance, they start off at 30 feet from each other. A normal human being can cover that in a few seconds by sprinting. A Jedi, especially one of Bane's calibur, would be covering that in half a second or so, maybe less. So at best, Kun would be getting maybe one shot off before he's desperately fending for his life against a far quicker lightsaber-wielding Bane.

And that's assuming Bane doesn't just casually lay Kun out with a force wave at the get-go. He has a superior grasp of the force, and his feats are superior to anything Kun has shown, even with his amulets.

Yeh I give Bane the all out fight for that reason 2. For force battle though I think Kun takes it.

You really think so? Bane when he desoryed the tmeple was great but exar mind tricking all those people is better imo.

Another thing about the amulets is that they attack in continuous beam so kun can maintain a single blast and bane will have to continuously defend against it.

I can't remember the mind-tricking scene; I haven't read TotJ in five or six years, but if it's anything like his senate freezing feat, you have to take into consideration that it may have been ritual-induced, as opposed to a spur of the moment ability he has access too. In addition, mind-tricking isn't a combat feat. It's been established that force abilities belong to categories, which is why most force users "excell" at certain things. While impressive by its own merits, being able to mind-trick mass amounts of people is not indicative of an ability to repel a temple destroying force wave.

Yeah. The comic states it was a Sith spell that froze the Senate.

Sorta. Electricity stuns the creatures at which point they can be pried off from Bane. However, that isn't what happened in his duel with the Jedi. In that, they fed on the energy. It was sated earlier on in the book they fed on Bane's dark side energy, but when he used his lightning they ate so much they burst and in doing so released toxins into Bane.

I always thought the Orbalisk armor Bane wears, seems to be a nod to Leto II's Sandtrout armor from Dune.

Except the major difference being that Leto's Sandtrout afford greater pros than cons, and that one is symbiotic, while the other, parasitic.

Still pretty cool, though.

Bantha got your tongue, Mr. Park? 😐
