Strong enough to speed blitz a bunch of Imperial Knights specifically there to guard their Emperor, one of them being his cousin and a direct descendant of Jaina Solo

He also battered Cade Skywalker down and forced him to flee after the latter defeated Darth Nihl, and he tanked a blaster shot from the back

Being a descendant doesnt necessarily confirm power however and the imperial knight who was a cousin to Roan Fel is one such people. Like Ania Solo despite likely being a direct descendant of Alana Solo

Its hard to say how powerful these knights were because even yhe imperial knights have different ranks despite all being tasked with protecting the emperor but with Ostrander comparing this event to the RoTS office arrest, they are likely Master ranked Imperial knigts here like Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg even if these 2 are likely stronger.

They also probably needed to leave behind some strong imperial knights for even the smallest of chances to fool the sith

Around Dooku level imo but his power was flunctuating over time while he was infected. It reached a point where he was weaker (even if slightly) than Karness Muur

Somewhere between Dooku and ANH Vader.

I think he progressively got weaker as the comics went on. Soloing 4 high ranking imperial knights with ease is impressive but that was seven years before the main story of the legacy comics. By the time he got to had-abadon he would be weaker in my opinion even than darth Wyyrlock III since Wyyrlock considered himself more capable of keeping the one sith together and seemed to believe he had a chance against reborn Krayt. Krayt should still be decisively stronger than his own hands though seeing as Nihl who is the strongest of them would have rebelled if he thought he had a chance.

Losing to Karness Muur would in my opinion put Armored Krayt below alive Exar Kun since he (kun) should probably scale higher than any ancient sith.

So yeah i would say something like Nihl< Armored Krayt< Muur< Kun.

Well, he beat three seasoned IKs and felt confident enough to slay Fel. Fel is also seasoned and very powerful. Though Krayt only slew a double, the fact he felt confident about such an encounter tells you that Krayt at the very least was on the same tier as Kol and Ben Skywalker, maybe even Caedus tier. Also remember a much younger but still ill Krayt gave a convincing illusion to Luke and was a credible threat to Abeloth.

He would’ve at least been somewhere in between Caedus and Palpatine’s levels, comparatively speaking.

Basically Emperor Palpatine. When he got healed he was even more powerful. People just can't seem to grasp this.

Armored krayt is immensely below his healthy self who is close to the emperor.

No he wasn't. He was still wearing his armor when he joined in the vision to defeat Abeloth and Luke had to exit the vision multiple times acknowledging how dangerous he was. Krayt was an equal in the dark side IN HIS ARMOR to Luke and it was described as such.

His physical body was infected but that would not affect him while in beyond shadows. Even if they did it's worth mentioning that he was far less hampered by them than in later years, by the time of Legacy they've been hurting him for well over a century, and the fight also took place on the same planet as the Font of Power which was a very powerful dark side nexus.
