Darth Bane (with orbalisk armor) runs sith lord gauntlet

1. Darth Malak

Malak is outclassed.

2. Darth Maul

Maul simply cannot not go pound-for-pound and blow-for-blow against Orbalisk Bane. Bane is too well protected, too strong, and too aggressive. Maul might be able to temporarily mount an offensive against Bane just like Raskta did, but it won't last long. Maul is very good on the defensive though, so he might be able to hold out for a while, but ultimately Maul's sabers will be useless against Bane's Orbalisk armor.

Maul has powerful TK, but Bane isn't Kenobi. Maul won't be ragdolling Bane and Maul has no answer for Bane's lightning.

Whether through sabers or force, in the end, Bane would win.

3. Darth Sion

Traya was able to break Sion, so he's not unbeatable. Just like Malak, Sion is outclassed.

4. Darth Tyranus

Of course, Tyranus is an incredibly skilled duelist who is known for his precision. It's not inconceivable to believe that Dooku could win a few rounds by scoring hits on Bane's unarmored parts, but I don't see him taking the majority. Bane's aggression and power would overwhelm Dooku just like Anakin did.

Force-wise, Bane's lightning is just plain better than Dooku's as well.

5. Darth Revan (before memory wipe)

I am of the opinion that Malak was not lying when he said that he surpassed Darth Revan, so I would give Bane the win here. I will also admit that my opinion contradicts Drew's, where he said that Revan, Bane, and Vader are all on the same tier. Drew may be an authoritative source, but his opinion is not canon.

6. Wrath II

I don't play ToR, but based on how others have described Wrath 2, I think Bane could pull off a win.

7. Darth Vader (ESB) and 8. Darth Malgus

I have Bane > Vader > Malgus. Unless Vader can somehow crush the orbalisks, Vader's strength will not help him here. Some might argue that Vader could ragdoll Bane with TK, but I'm not seeing it.

9. Exar Kun

Not sure, Kun is pretty skilled and powerful.

Boss. Tulak Hord

Tulak is too much of an unknown to judge.

Bane wank is strong here, if an apprentice can score a hit on Bane's wrist then Darth Maul will destroy him. Orbalisk armor isn't infallible, Maul is far more skilled and talented than anyone in the Bane era.

Maul wins he is simply better in every way you can compare them. He is able to compete competently with Darth Sidious without a Form based advantage or equal Force Power. Maul is one of the greatest Sith Warriors of all time, people need to read his content properly.

Bane just isn't good enough to compete with high tier Sith without armor.

Bane's tough.

With Battle Meditation and while Bane was fighting 2 other people. 😬 Maul seriously isn't that skilled and you're underselling the Bane era. Even Farfalla's form was described as "perfect" and Raskta was almost preternaturally skilled and prodigious.

He's not better than Bane in any way. You keep saying that but you haven't said why or offered proof. Sidious was toying with him and could have beaten him at any point. And Bane is also one of the greatest Sith Lords of all time as well as the Sith'ari. You know, the God of the Sith with "perfect strength, perfect power."

Lol.

Come back to this thread and among the first things I see are "Maul isn't better than Bane in anyway" "Maul isn't even that skilled, Sidious was toying with him" "Bane is the Sith'ari with perfect hyperbole"

Cancer is rampant in this thread.

Actually I said that Maul isn't better than Bane in any way as in he's not superior in all aspects than him. I'm sure even you'd agree with that. There are aspects where Bane is the clear and apparent superior.

"He's not better than Bane in any way" - Neph

The only area Bane is superior to Maul is 00ber l1ghtn1ng

Maul would kick his ass in every other area

Bane's knowledge of the Force and willpower greatly exceeds Mauls. He knows a bunch of techniques that Maul doesn't. He's smarter than Maul as well.

These are all pretty solid.

That's true. Bane's also better than everyone which is a notable factor we all must consider.

Nah, I'm semi-sure the Father > him. I'm 50-50 on the Son and Daughter but they have a clear shot. Abeloth gets stomped.

Nihilus is also infinitely greater and cooler.

Shut up.

I am sorry that you cannot handle the Sith'ari swag. I know that one day you will be ready to take his Thought Bomb (penis).

Also when I said "Maul seriously isn't that skilled" I obviously meant that Maul isn't so skilled that he's vastly better than everyone from the Bane era like AP thinks. I wasn't suggesting that Maul isn't very skilled. ILS you're misrepresenting me.

I'd say he stops with Sidious' lightning

Maul is superior duelist to every single guy from Bane's era. Lsu is, at best, on Fisto's level. Amped Lsu, I mean. Without amp, she's below Luminara.

Yeah, she's probably more or less Unduli or Vos level.
