YOU MUST LEARN YOUR PLACE!!! Never bring a knife to a gunfight, altought with Kai Leng's sword skills, maybe his knife would've been a better choice. Barely able to handle himself against a dying Thane Krios, to Kai Leng the otherwise devastating Monomeculear Blade is going to get him killed against Saren's hand cannon of a pistol. The Palm Blaster is a dirty trick is Kai Leng manages to get close enough, but against an assault rifle like the Master Assault Rifle it lacks range, firepower, and utility. The only thing useful about the Palm Blaster in this instance is surprise, but that doesn't matter when you've got an entire thermal magazine loaded into your chest. Both have Shield Boost, so that evens out. Electrical Slash requires getting up-close to Saren, which will be incredibly difficult with such a range advantage. Biotics allow Saren to control the battlefield once he spots Kai Leng, and throw him around like a ragdoll or dampen Kai Leng's shields. Kai Leng never has a chance in hell. He lacks any form of tactical intelligence or actual skill in combat compared to Saren Arterius. The Spectre's entire arsenal is revolved around doing incredibly versatile and deadly damage at range, while Kai Leng's left clinging to dirty tricks in a close range fight. The only chance the assassin stands in this fight is with backup, but other than that Saren Arterius is taking this fight with ease.
