Dorsk 81 confirms they each felt more powerful than they could even comprehend, in Darksaber. All of them combined, amping each other in unison too. Brakiss states he had grown much more powerful, but enough to bridge the gap from an amp that massive? I'm not convinced.Less than a year later they're already flattening AT-STs, throwing boulders at TIE Bombers and a whole ton of other stuff in Darksaber.
It took a fraction of the power they used to launch a fleet of Star Destroyers clear out of the Yavin system; like 'twigs in a storm' which caused massive internal damage and broke hyperdrives, to defeat Kun in the first place. Even a fraction of that power is insane.
Also, the meld is already there. What they do upon closing the circle is seal him inside a WoL. It still takes a perfectly attuned lightsaber that Kun built through Gantoris to actually destroy his spirit however. Prior to this encirclement he still nearly chokes them all out, but Streen uses Alter Environment to cheat their way out of the hold. They all struggle against his hold and fail just prior to that, kek.
But here's the truly hilarious part, this was a starved and weakened shade of Kun without Kyp, Gantoris' reserves or Streen to aid him. He's probably less than a small fraction of the power he held in life.
Yeah, I'll make the comparison again. From a different perspective. The first guy is a 12 year old scrawny git of a boy, who has just started to go to the gym.
The second guy, is the same guy, but as a 24 year old, extremely muscled, and has been going to the gym for hours on end, every single day for the last 12 years. What's more, halfway through, he has taken steroids, and continues to take them till he is 24, utterly rippling in his physique and increasing his strength to much more than it would have done normally. In addition, he has one of the best coaches in the world. Lastly, he has just broken all the records in his state history for weightlifting.
I know, we'll duplicate the first guy 7 or so times, and add two toddlers to the mix. Now, we'll pit them against each other. Seems fair?
I'll tell you what would happen. The big guy pimp slaps 7 or 8 of them with one swipe of his hand, knocking them out. He then pimp slaps the others with his other hand.
Multiply the disparity factor exponentially in SW compared to the above scenario, and you have just how powerful Brakiss would have become. You essentially don't understand that even together, the trainees are nothing. They have negligible power, because they haven't trained for any meaningful amount of time. Yeah, yeah, a whole "year" later, they do some impressive crap, but a "whole" year of training and growing more powerful compared to a scant few weeks? I can only laugh.
Of a fraction of power, they are more powerful than Kun as it is, so that stance is irrelevant.
Also, DE pretty clearly notes that you need an extensive "mastery" or knowledge of how to counter choke. I expect you wouldn't expect people beginning to learn the alphabet J to start correcting spelling mistakes.
Together in the meld, obviously they are more powerful than Kun, and it is made blatantly obvious. Kun doesn't have any kind of scaling over them as it is.
No, you liar, no. That is just the meld, not any kind of WoL.
As his eyes adjusted, Streen saw that all twelve of the Jedi candidates were limned with the faintest sheen of an iridescent blue glow that grew brighter as the new Jedi converged around Exar Kun.........
The nebulous glow around the new Jedi Knights grew brighter, a luminous fog that joined them in an unbroken ring, a solid band of light forged by the power of the Force within them.

The "light" lining them together, is clearly stated in the first part, and it is just that same light "connecting" all the Jedi that grows stronger. It is literally "the" exact same thing in the second part, only stronger. There is no WoL, lol. That is also not even the function of WoL( which is an offensive and destructive light side power), nor how WoL actually is.
That aside, that is the only indication at all that the Jedi were joined together in any sort of way. In th novel. By elimination, it has to be th meld.
Even humoring you, any way you look at it, the Jedi are more powerful than Kun. End of story.
Lastly, Dorsk 81 also says that he was amped beyond anything he had even imagined, so, no, the amp in JA is pretty tremendously inferior to the amp in Darksaber. "A fraction" doesn't cut it, because 0.000000000000000001 is also a fraction.
You essentially have nothing tying Kun to Brakiss in any way. Also, I'd easily argue that manipulating solar flares which are generally the size of moons or planets( this one obviously was, since they were actually able to observe it pretty clearly in comparison to the star) is much more impressive than pushing those Star Destroyers.
