Beginning of KOTFE Vaylin would dominate Meetra, much less peak KOTET Vaylin.

Emperor Vitiate (SWTOR: Revan): This argument proposes that the Sith Emperor as of the Revan Novel is significantly more powerful than Revan Reborn. Revan muses that he ”knew he couldn’t go toe-to-toe with the Emperor by himself for very long”, and that he “probably” was not a match for the Emperor alone. Furthermore, the Essential Reader’s Companion ultimately states ”The Emperor’s power is too much for Revan. Recognizing that the Emperor is undefeatable, Scourge kills Meetra and betrays Revan”, and Scourge notes after the fact that ”The Emperor would have won regardless”. Thus, Vitiate as of the Novel receives all of the scaling Revan Reborn benefits from, including vast superiority to Star Forge Malak, who in turn is vastly superior to Exar Kun and Freedon Nadd, and by proxy the rest of the Ancient Sith.

Emperor Vitiate (Act 3, Weakened): This argument proposes that the Emperor, even while temporarily weakened at the end of Act 3, is vastly more powerful than his Novel Incarnation. This stems from the fact that Revan Reborn believed he was not a match for the Emperor alone, yet ”With the combined strength of Meetra, Scourge, and even T3, however, he believed they stood a real chance of victory”, Indicating that Scourge would have been a relevant factor in the fight. Conversely, an absurdly more powerful Act 3 Scourge who is far more intimate with the Emperor forces the Hero of Tython to face Vitiate alone, because ”No one else can resist his direct influence.” This indicates that Scourge would have been nothing more than a hindrance to the Hero’s efforts, which is clearly not the case in the Novel. Essentially, the gap between Act 3 weakened Vitiate and SWTOR Scourge is larger than the gap between Novel Vitiate and Novel Scourge, despite Scourge’s massive growth during that span of time. Thus, Act 3 weakened Vitiate receives any feats and scaling Novel Vitiate benefits from.

Emperor Vitiate (Act 3, Recovered): This argument proposes that Vitiate restored his power to normal levels over the course of the Hero’s massacre through Kaas City and the Dark Temple. Lord Scourge states that ”[The Emperor] will recover quickly. We cannot grant him time to gather his power.” The dictionary definitions of “recover” in this context include return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength and to bring back to normal position or condition. Despite Scourge’s warning, the Hero gives Vitiate time to recover while dissipating his energies further to save his apprentice in distress. Scourge after the fact laments, ”You gave the Emperor time to gather his strength. We are all fortunate to be alive.” As a kicker, the Hero can outright dismiss Scourge’s warning: ”Let him prepare all he wants. Ready or not, I’ll destroy him,” Which at least indicates the Hero is confident he can defeat a full power Emperor’s voice despite his failure at the end of Act 2. Thus, the Emperor as of his confrontation with the Hero is not significantly weaker than (and likely on par with) the Emperor’s Voice in Act 2.
