The numbers are 81 to 11. And 3 of those 11 are weaker than a sith trooper. 8 to 1. Sure, only two of the 81 are individual threats, but when there are 81 foes, they don't have to be.
Even Darth Plagueis got his throat cut from 30 assassins, no named foes at all, and Ludo Kressh and Dreypa aren't Plagueis.
See, this is what I mean in the underrated thread about 'anyone without a name,' being underrated.
We have *seen* Sith Troopers kill masters and even get Cade Skywalker fairly tired.
We've also seen Nihl kill Kol Skywalker with a half-dozen normal sith plus a pile of stormtroopers.
Yes, Wyyrlok and Krayt are the only individual threats. But the other ranking One Sith ganging up (which they will be able to do in every encounter), *while*
Krayt and Wyyrlok don't even need to beat their foes one on one. Anyone who'd be a tough fight for Krayt solo, is a lot less so when the opponent has to deal with being stabbed in the back by other sith at the same time, and someone trying to TK their heart at the same time. Which even Saarai can do.
Remember how Darth Krayt died- he was stabbed in the back by an Imperial Knight (a reasonably formidable one, but probably at or below Azard's level) while engaging in a huge lighting duel with Muur. High level people can and do die to being stabbed in the back. Also remember what Muur said when Maladi helped Krayt a little- "'gainst Krayt you were going to fall, but with help you're not even going to last long,' basically.
And even if they block and defend against all those side attacks? Well, then they're distracted from the big threat in front of them.
Darth Krayt is almost certainly going to get multiple kills because he'll not be involved in 1v1 fights, but several 5v1s where someone who would be formidable one-on-one has to deal with him, Maladi, and a couple people trying to stab the foe in the back.
Wyyrlok, similarly, is going to get kills because he's going to fight with Saarai, who's going to TK grab their target's heart, while they also have some normal sith attacking him so he can't even focus on sorcery defense.
And meanwhile, some Ancient is going to be held off by 2-3 of the high ranking council-level foes... who are throwing meat shields in the way too, because Havok and Azard don't need to win against someone, they just need to keep 'em busy til Krayt and Wyyrlok have dropped one or two each.
Everyone ancient is going to be badly outnumbered because there's 21 *named* foes, over 2-1 just there, 20 *formidable* addition no-names, 4.5 to 1, and 50 normal but still distracting and time consuming and forcing ancient sith to hack them down instead of doing anything important.
