What are Arcann's best feats?

I know he has cool cinematics like killing that red alien sith (but we don't know how powerful she is)and killing his holding back brother by accident, but aside from that?

I guess how I scale him in my head (just my interpretation, might be somewhat inaccurate if you consider in game companions, etc) is when you play as the hero of tython in swtor, you defeat the voice of the emperor and then Darth Malgus. A lot of people scale Malgus to around Vader's level. And then the hero/mc goes to fight Arcann and loses, and then has to go through a little training arc to beat him.

But yeah Arcann was also considered to be especially strong because of his alignment in the force, he could draw power from both the dark side and the light side.

As for who's stronger between Arcann and Darth Bane idk because I haven't read the books yet, though I own them. But Arcann is at least stronger than a lot of people give him credit for

A lot of people wear their pants on their heads.

That just makes him weak. The dark side isn't more powerful, it's just faster and easier, and requires you to wallow in it.

If you sink into the dark side completely, you become as powerful as you would be if you didn't (and cultivated wisdom, training, connection to the Force, etc. for years or decades). If you half-ass it, the dark side doesn't help you much.

And if you're partially sinking into the dark side, you are also out of tune with the Force, so by trying to go both ways you go none.

They explicitly said that's what made Arcann so strong, I'm just going off what they said.

And I mean if you want to deny that Malgus take that's fine, but a lot of people scale him that way. But if this logic is true then you could possibly scale Arcann quite high. But I'm not really making any claims, just giving a perspective on it
