Lol at saying that tanking an attack that was blasting starships out of the air with the mere cast-off, at point-blank, isn't comparable to Krayt, Revan or Vader.Revan was one-shot by Vitiate as well. Vader and Krayt would probably be as well.
And Arcann went down instantly. It wasn't even a knock against him. It's just pointing out he isn't amazeballs because he clearly can't actually defend against Valkorion.
And that doesn't make sense because? He has nobody and is weaker than before, all the while, he's trying to focus his power through another less acquainted vessel. But given we already know Arcann can't defend against Valkorion for any amount of time, it would not be a point in his favor either way.
Arcann was at the focal point of that lightning attack as intended by Valkorion. Most of that lightning attack looked like it was spreading all around after bouncing off of Arcann's force defense, anyway.
Also, Arcann says that Valky is weakened after he experiences Valky's lightning attack for the second time. So, Valkorion being able to easily one-shot Arcann earlier on without all that flash isn't really surprising.

It really isn't. Short-circuiting a bunch of ships. Woo. And it's not like Arcann even took the brunt of the attack. Most of it went around him.And Arcann went down instantly.

You're being an idiot. Wiping out all ships in the spires proximity as well as killing all their crews is one of the greatest lightning feats ever. It's even more mind-boggling considering he wasn't even aiming at them. Most of the attack was obviously targeted at Arcann. The main beam is striking him directly. Everything else isn't comparable to that and Arcann was tanking it. It's well on these guys levels. Krayt and Vader don't have shit on that defensive feat.
Jesus. Since when does losing to Vitiate make you not amazeballs. You're still forgetting that Revan didn't exactly do too good against him either. You think Vader and Krayt could do better? Lol. How does Arcann getting one-shot (and wasn't that 4 years before his current incarnation?) prove he's inferior to these guys? His defensive feat is above any of theirs, except maybe Revan.
How is it not focused? You should watch that part again tbh. There is a beam of forks of lightning coming out off Outlander's hands and hitting Arcann's shield. There is also lightning circling the Outlander, plus the lightning that bounces off of Arcann, which is powerful enough to harm every ship and person that it touches. The range and size of the lightning as a whole made the whole feat more impressive, not shittier. Don't try to twist it.
Edit:
(and wasn't that 4 years before his current incarnation?)😍
Originally posted by FreshestSliceIt kinda was. We see a steady stream of lightning emitted from the protags fingers, and we see it directly impact on Arcann's shield:
Focal point means there was some sort of area where Valkorion's attack was focused. It wasn't. And while he certainly made it spread more, even before then, the attack was not even remotely centered at any point.

The storm of lightning around them was just excess energy, a testament to the magnitude of the feat. 👆
