Darth Bane and Darth Zannah vs Darth Malgus and Darth Jadus

Who wins? DoE incarnations for team DBT, peak incarnations for team TOR.

Bonus Round: If team DBT loses, they get Lord Kas'im. If team TOR loses, they get Darth Angral.

Hmm. 🙂

If. Jadus was legit beaten by Cipher than team 1

Nah. The prevailing implication is that Cipher talked down Jadus. 🙂

Team 2.

Jadus still comes off as the weakest here. Team 1.

Either of Team 1 beats either of Team 2.

Nah, Malgus takes Zannah

Malgus isn't a better duelist than Bane, so he isn't getting through Zannah's defense. And he isn't powerful enough to beat her with the Force either. Conversely, she can beat him with sorcery.

Angral doesn't tip the scales either btw.

Malgus can beat anyone Bane ever fought in a duel with ease, and he can replicate Bane landing strikes on her pretty easily if not wear her down with his physical strength like he did to Aryn

Not in the Force. 😬

Debatable, and too bad this isn't a Force only round.

Nah hit me up when anyone here can teleport at light speed, dominate the minds of a thousand people, cause pain to those around him with their mere presence and hold together the remains of a 600-m cruiser through sheer power, the bridge of which he could shake with his anger alone. He's plainly superior.

He's also been regarded as the second most powerful Sith in the Empire, which would make him stronger than Malgus and the Dread Masters. mmm

And I don't think in matters, he sufficiently outstrips Bane & Zannah (the latter of whom is a defensive duelist regardless) in the Force to overwhelm them through sheer power.

Yeah Jadus should be above at least Dooku by feats, but then again he lost to Cipher kek.

He didn't lose to the Cipher, he got trapped in a Force field. 😬

1. "Teleport at light speed"? Well, he may as well blitz here, doesn't he? It's called precognition.

2. He caused no pain when Cipher stood against them aboard his Dreadnaught. There's no reason to suspect that he can meaningfully afflict Bane and Zannah.

3. TOR is a medium where you can get some pretty exaggerated and over-the-top feats, so that's worth keeping mind. With that said, if you want to play exaggerated feats game, didn't Zannah shield herself from planetwide storms as a child?

4. Watcher Two, who isn't even Force sensitive, declared Jadus as second only to the Emperor. Not a reliable source.

5. I doubt it. He's clearly very powerful, but not particularly competent as a fighter.

I wasn't making the point that those feats were combat applicable. But that holistically Jadus is significantly more powerful than Bane or Zannah.

Not that being able to teleport at will isn't a very handy ability.

As are all Legends sources according to Force & Destiny, a pointless distinction.

You mean a side-by-side comparison of feats? I don't know Nova, sounds a little dangerous 😕

And yeah she did, didn't amount to Jadus tier powers in her prime tho.

Watcher Two, who isn't even Force sensitive, declared Jadus as second only to the Emperor. Not a reliable source.
The second in command to Imperial Intelligence, whose job it is to know shit is not a reliable source? OK. And I'm not a Force sensitive either, I can still understand their powers and whose stronger than who. His ranking being supported by Valkorion's praise as the greatest Sith his empire ever produced.

Or maybe Cipher 9 is just that good. Or maybe the fight didn't occur as game mechanics represented it. mmm

Given his other accolades, accomplishments and status I don't find it very compelling evidence of his ineptitude.

Yeah, Vitiate himself called Jadus the greatest Sith his empire had ever produced, so I think Watcher Two's statement definitely has credence.

No, he's more powerful by feats. Holistically, Bane was more powerful than all of the dark side energies unleashed across Ambria in the Sorceress' failed ritual.

It is, but the speed you're suggesting is clearly exaggerated.

As are all Legends sources according to Force & Destiny, a pointless distinction.

But there are some more exaggerated than others, as people on this forum like to claim regarding DE and OCW. TOR is the same.

You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

And yeah she did, didn't amount to Jadus tier powers in her prime tho.

Zannah's always been reserved with her powers. We've never seen the full extent of them, except Sorcery. That said, if she's blocking planetwide firestorms with her Force Barrier as a child, yeah, as an adult, she's going to be around Jadus' tier at least.

The second in command to Imperial Intelligence, whose job it is to know shit is not a reliable source? OK.

How on earth would she know how powerful the Sith are if she can't sense them through the Force? But of course, AotC Obi-Wan is as powerful as Mace Windu and Dooku a match for Yoda, cuz all statements are reliable.

And I'm not a Force sensitive either, I can still understand their powers and whose stronger than who.

I wasn't aware that Imperial Intelligence had out-of-universe perspectives, out-of-universe sourcebooks and could debate in out-of-universe forums and share knowledge that way. Links?

His ranking being supported by Valkorion's praise as the greatest Sith his empire ever produced.

Greatest =/= best, an argument that's floated around the forum for ages. I believe Valkorion said this because Jadus was the one of the few Sith in the Empire who was not "bound by ancient, irrelevant dogma" as Marr was.

Or maybe Cipher 9 is just that good. Or maybe the fight didn't occur as game mechanics represented it. mmm

Sure, he's that good, but if Jadus is any good as a combatant, he'd still beat Cipher Nine.

Given his other accolades, accomplishments and status I don't find it very compelling evidence of his ineptitude.

His status doesn't relate to his skills in combat, nor do any of his accolades or accomplishments. He's incredibly powerful, as I said, but not a good combatant.
