TCW Darth Maul vs. Count Dooku (Force battle)

Force powers only

*Composite versions of both

Dooku will always win. Maul has decent TK but Dooku has far more experience with far more powers.

Well, considering a single attack from an injured Dooku was enough to kill Asajj Ventress, I don't favor Maul's chances.

In fact, an even more injured Dooku - quite literally half-dead - has already proven his superiority to Maul, when he joined Sidious and Maul joined Talzin, Dooku and Sidious began to overpower them, whereas previously it had been a stalemate:

Even if it wouldn't outright kill him, Maul's reaction to even the weakest Force lightning has been to collapse on his knees:

To more powerful - although still non-lethal - blasts:

So yes, a single blast of lightning from Dooku will permanently take Maul out of the fight. I'd even argue this applies to Telekinesis:

Note that Obi-Wan has endured about just as much pain as Maul has in his life, yet was still knocked by Dooku.

Durge being strong enough to do this:

So I can definately see Maul getting one-shot by Dooku's lightning and TK.

You highly underestimate Maul's endurance and pain tolerance.

Azronger made some good points that I agree with.

Let's see if Quanchi will take the bait though...

Tyranus isn't one-shotting, but he wins, yeah.

Dooku is the superior Force user, but I could see Maul winning through sheer endurance.

Dooku's endurance is infinite 🙂

Has Maul ever demonstrated an ability to use the force in a defensive matter? I've only ever seen him use it as an offensive technique—usually in desperation—and that's really it.

Dooku seems to know his stuff when it comes to redirecting and counter attacks similarly to his Makashi.

maul oneshots with lightning

The Count should win by a notable margin, tbh.

Still, I cannot see Maul getting one-shotted.

Dooku wins during TCW.

But let's see if Rebels Maul has improved at all. One step at a time though. He has to prove himself as Kanan's superior first, which so far he's done a lousy job of.

Give me a notable defensive Force feat from Maul. Until then:

It doesn't look like I'm undrestimating anything. More like everyone else is overestimating Maul's endurance.

And I propose a question to you all: How is Maul actually going to kill Dooku?

I love you for this, tbh.

Still, though, Maul's endurance and Barrier should be enough to not getting insta-killed by the Count, tbh.

The only chances Maul has are beating Dooku early through Sabers, which would be highly unlikely but still possible. Or outlasting Dooku, avoiding and tanking anything thrown at him, absorbing his lightning and waiting for the Count to tire.
I could see him winning 3, maybe 4 times out 10 honestly.

It's Force powers only, lol.
