Team, team, team.
Talon and Nihl both have lightning, against which Savage is not the best at dodging, and they're both skilled duelists.
Like Savage, Nihl has high toughness, having shrugged blaster bolts to the chest.
Savage is not a bad duelist by any means, but he's *not* near good enough to actually win against both hands at the same time in saber.
In force, he loses fast. In saber, it's more work but he will lose. In all-out, in between.
