Elder Scrolls is literally the least “fash” fantasy out there. Yes, I am a huge fucking nerd, no I am not white, I’ll see you in the comments mother fucker, I KNOW THE LORE! FIGHT ME!
For the sake of keeping this reasonably sized, I will assume you mean protagonists of the main games, if you mean the strongest non-god entity, then the Talos oversoul (pre apotheosis) is the strongest (Wulfharth, Zurin Arctus and Hjalti-Early Beard) due to acces to the numidium and the resources of an entire empire, as well as being the most powerful warrior, mage, and politician on Tamriel. So, as far as protagonists go, its The Hero of Kavatch, and its not even close, the HoK has mantled Sheogorath and is a literal Deadric lord. You could make the argument that as long as The Last Dragonborn doesn’t enter oblivion, they could beat the HoK (temporarily) and the argument could be made that the LDB could mantle a Deadric prince if they wanted to seeing as how the HoK did it, but then again, the HoK only did it with the cooperation of the previous Sheogorath. Also the LDB’s connection to Herma-mora is irrelevant, as they are subservient to Herma, and even if the LBD had Herma working for them, we run into the same problem of needed to beat Sheogorath (HoK) in their own realm of oblivion, which is basically impossible. If you don’t count post apotheosis HoK then the LBD is the most powerful mortal.
which one would come out on top in a round robin 1v1 tournament?
These were the conditions. Whether or not anyone has the resources of an empire or the numidium doesn’t apply. Yes, I am talking about the protagonists of the main game. Comparing their power sets, who would come out on top? I want specifics of feats. E.g. LDB can shout fire, become ethereal etc. How do they compare in a fight?
This doesn’t really work, because you can’t just get these characters in a round robin 1v1 tournament without breaking the lore (timelines, getting HoK out of oblivion) so doing a lore analysis is kinda moot. but I guess if we are talking pre-apotheosis HoK, and we just time travel everyone into a pocket realm of oblivion, The Eternal Champion, the Hero of Kavatch and The Agent just get wiped instantly by the LBD’s thuum and the Neravarine’s artifacts (keening, sunder, and wraithguard), as they are just mortals who did a thing. Between the LBD and Neravarine, I would say the LBD comes out on top, simply due to the fact that the LBD has bend will wich can mind control even Dragons, which are some of the most powerfull non-deity status beings in the universe.
Unless HoK gets off a lucky wabbajack right out the gate while LDB is preparing the shout. Now I need to know which attack takes longer.
So let’s say that someone used an elder scroll in each timeline and every hero were transported to Sovngarde, you would give the win to HoK because the lore describes his feats as greater than every other hero?
