Corran Horn vs. Darth Nyriss

Force, sabers, all out

Battle takes place in the tomb of Freedon Nadd

If he absorbs her lightning, she'll be in big trouble. If he doesn't, then things are iffy.

Interesting fight!

Corran, Nyriss defeated a weak version of Meetra and Scourge. which is impressive but Corran impresses me more.

Why, what has he done to suggest he's better than that?

He's one of the top duelists of the NJO: comfortably superior to greats like Kam Solusar, Kenth Hammer, and arguably Saba as well. At the very least, he will press her enough in a duel to where she will resort to her lightning--And when she does, it's Revan all over again.

His energy-absorption is a nice trump card that lets him punch above his base-weight.

He's also, you know, an extremely talented swordsman.

Great arguments for Horn

Yes. He's a very strong fighter, it's just in the right situation he can be even *more* dangerous.

Horn's interesting in that he has strengths and weaknesses. He can run up against someone who's a bad power matchup (user of a lot of TK), or a good one (user of lightning).

Have Horn ever blocked Sith lightning with bare hands?

Nyriss is insanely fast, single-handedly outdueled two expert swordsmen (each one of the finest of the same era).

Nyriss is also an proficient in matters of Sith sorcery and Jedi powers such as telekinesis. She isn't lacking in other abilities.

When charged, he has tremendously powerful illusions (beyond his normal high-level ones) and even gains fairly strong TK. He's a good user of force speed too, so more power for that won't hurt.

And Nyriss was one of the top duelists of the entire Kotor era. Outdueling Meetra and Scourge like that was incredibly impressive. But since when were Kam Solusar and Hammer "greats"? What have they done that's so impressive?

What if she uses TK instead?
