Darth Krayt's power level

How does Darth Krayt compare to other Sith Lords/Jedi Masters? Where would he go on the power tiers of both? From what I understand A'Sharad Hett was just a skilled Jedi, but he was no Obi-Wan, Anakin, Yoda, or Mace. So did he experience a huge power-up in the years between he disappeared and when he shows himself as Krayt? Or did he just fulfill his complete potential, but wouldn't compare to the likes of Luke, Yoda, Anakin (or Vader), and Sidious?

Sorry, but power-level threads are really just vs. threads lite, which aren't allowed in Lit.

 

You should ask Vegeta. I'm sure he'd know.




...in all seriousness though, I think his "power boost" happened sometime after he escaped from the Vong. He apprenticed himself to XoXaan and spent the next several decades strengthening himself in the Force. I don't know how he'd compare to other powerful Force-users, but I still wouldn't put him very high.

 

He was listed as 20th level by the Legacy Campaign Sourcebook.

So as powerful as Palpatine, Revan, and Malak.

 

Stats aren't canon. He's simply "the most powerful Sith of the Legacy Era", or he was, and as such he pretty much automatically gets to be 20th Level. I think Palpatine would utterly destroy Darth Krayt, yet they're the "same level" in terms of RPG stats.

It doesn't help that Epic levels aren't about any more.

From a purely subjective standpoint, I prefer to rank Darth Krayt more or less on par with Lord Kaan in terms of his power. He is, barring Wyyrlok III, the most threatening Sith of that timeframe and tremendously powerful but I like to think he'd be taken down by a fully trained Banite. If he wasn't so sick and elderly, he'd probably be akin to Malak (before he got juiced up on the Star Forge), who is himself a Sith Lord I believe any of the movie Sith could take down.

I rank Wyyrlok III as being on par with Tyranus (who I rate very highly, despite attempts to wussify him), FWIW.

Not that any of the above matters, since it's pretty much all fanon. It's just how I think things "should be". There's no actual "truth" here, that we know of.

 

I'd rate him at a solid beventeen on a spleventy-threeve point scale.

 

That sounds reasonable, I guess from what I know about Krayt he just doesn't seem as powerful as Palps and Vader.

I guess in my tiers for Sith Lords would be

1st: Palps, Revan, and Bane
2nd: Vader, Bane's apprentice, Krayt, and Malak
3rd: I guess Wyrrlok, Tyranus, and Caedus with Caedus possibly being on the low end of the 2nd tier possibly being able to take out Krayt and give a good fight to the other ones.

I guess another thing we can take into account is how much potential Cade has? He has effortlessly brought people back from the dead repeatedly and also has healed and redone serious wounds with little effort.

Can we rank him as the one with the most potential in the Legacy era? Or does that distinction go to a different Jedi?

 

Tyranus would school Krayt.

 

The thing to remember about Krayt is that we never see him in action when he's healthy- the version we're familiar with in the Legacy comics is just a shadow of the man, after all, as much as he tries to hide it. Personally, I'd rate a healthy Krayt as being about on par with the likes of Dooku or Malak (not truly epic Sith like Sidious, but still incredibly formidable), and certainly the most powerful non-Skywalker of his era. Sick Krayt is capable of bursts of that, but he just doesn't have what it takes to wage a long battle anymore. Comparing him to Caedus is kind of tricky- I'd rank him below Caedus in raw power, but leaps and bounds ahead of him in terms of success (though that's partially because of his skill at appointing useful minions like the Wyyrloks or Maladi).

Of course, Sidious would wipe the floor with him, but the same goes for Sidious versus almost anybody, so that's not much of an insult really.

As of the timeframe of the comics, I would argue that Wyyrlok has surpassed his Master in terms of power (note that the most impressive displays of the Force from a Legacy Sith have been from him). Certainly Wyyrlok is more learned in the esoteric powers of the Dark Side, giving him a definite edge against most opponents. Of course, Wyyrlok's not really one to flaunt his power when he doesn't need to, so it's hard to compare him to other (in)famous Sith. I'd still put him below Sidious, of course, but higher than pretty much anyone else. Assuming he delves deep enough into Sith lore, it wouldn't surprise me if Wyyrlok doesn't draw equal with the likes of Bane or Revan before all is said and done. In any event, his power coupled with his calculating intellect, absolute dedication to the Sith Order (his Sith Order, really) and fondness for playing the man behind the man makes Wyyrlok a much more dangerous villain than Krayt ever was, in my opinion.

 

I think that's personally a bit silly to be honest. I'll explain my reasoning. I'm not a fan of Darth Krayt but I think he's certainly going to rank above most other Sith Lords in the galactic history even if Palpatine was undoubtedly stronger than him (being the strongest Sith of all time).

Why?

Jedi Time

* He was already a powerful Jedi Knight trained by Anya Kuryo, one of the strongest Jedi Knights of her era (having got weird Jacen Solo-esque abilities and also being able to stand toe-to-toe with Vader for a while).
* A'Sharad Hett lost to Obi Wan Kenobi but still had a big fight with him that showed his skills.
* Ditto Anakin Skywalker. In short, He's a heavy weight as A'Sharad Hett.
* He spends possibly TWENTY YEARS or more studying the secrets of the Ancient Sith to master them all.
* He is educated in Vergere about FULLY ACCEPTING the Dark Side, which he does.
* He spends much of the next one hundred years CONTINUING his training.
* The Yuuzhan Vong Armor enhances his strength.

He's a juggernaut, physically and mentally.

I put him on par with Vader, even if Vader is the second strongest. He'd eat Maul and Dooku easily.
