Power Duel

Power Duel is a multiplayer gametype available in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Power Duel re-creates epic lightsaber battles by piting two opponents against a stronger opponent in a two-on-one death match. All competitors start a round with full health, their lightsabers and a blaster pistol (server option), but the lone opponent has an edge in heath and Force ability. Therefore, the teamed opponents must work together to defeat their stronger foe.

Any number of players can participate in Power Duel, but only three are in the arena at any given time. Remaning players observe until a match is complete. A match is completed when either side is eliminated. The loser is put at the end of the observer queue, and the next person or persons in line are brought in to fight the winner. If a member of the paired team is killed but the dual team wins, that player is still sent to the bottom of the list. The surviving player or players are the only ones who stay in the game.

All competitors are fully replenished with health and equipment. The winner or winners continue to compete against new opponents, scoring points until he or she is eliminated or the match time limit is reached.

This gametype, along with Siege, was introduced in Jedi Academy.
