Darth Malgus vs Darth Krayt

I have them roughly on the same level, someone persuade me one way or another.

Reborn Krayt vs Darth Malgus
Bloodlusted; 5 meters apart; no Essence Transfer

IMO Malgus is Krayts superior in all known respects barring telepathy/resistance and Dark Transfer.

But given how many injuries Malgus has, I could see him going down to the latter.

Reborn Krayt has a plethora of powers that were never shown. His dismantling of Cade and defeat of Wyyrlok indicates a tremendous amount of skill. I don't believe Cade should've beaten him. So he may very well defeat Malgus in the 2nd round. I don't know I could be persuaded on either side, as when Malgus achieved oneness he was powerful as well.

I am tempted to vote in favor of Krayt.

I give it to Krayt.

Let's examine some other statements- Wyyrlok felt that if Krayt was the Krayt of old at his full strength, he wouldn't even have died in the Vector incident.

Upon his return, he noted his power was multiplied by his experience passing through death. He even gained whole new abilities, not just dark transfer but also shatterpoint. (And I will note, pretty much the only other sith to do similar have *also* experienced noticeable power boosts, like DE Palpatine)

I do think people still underestimate Legacy and RebornKrayt specifically some- though not nearly as much as they used to, admittedly. I just want to emphasize that final Krayt is supposed to blow the Krayt that took out 4 Imperial Knights in moments and was so strong in the Vector fight out of the water.

Krayt impressed me more in FOTJ than in Legacy tbh.

I attribute DE Palpatine's power boost mainly to the billions of people he was draining energy from on Byss.

He was draining them before his death too, though.

No-one is denying that Krayt is very powerful, he and Malgus are on the same tier in my eyes, but tbh I consider Malgus to be the very strongest one on that tier, below the Vitiate, Bane, Yoda, Hord, Sidious, HoT, Nihilus, Plagueis tier.

Yoda and Nihilus are not in the same tier Neph.

Yes, they are.

It's the top tier though. Its hard to get a tier above it.

Hord and Bane aren't top tier.

Astor means that Nihilus is a tier above Yoda.

Astor means that Nihilus is many tiers above Yoda.

That's implying Nihilus>Sidious, which is against every canon law established.

There is some merit to the opinion, Nihilus is rather godlike in many ways.

True.
Then again, many do not classify Nihilus as Sith.
However then again, Vitiate is stated to be more powerful then Nihilus, yet Sidious>Vitiate.

Sidious is the most powerful Sith Lord ever. But you can't really expect otherwise when no one gives a shit about any other Sith Lord besides him and Vader.

I personally ignore such statements. I prefer to judge characters myself.

If there is a difference in power as you outline, it is by a degree of millimeters.
