Let’s be honest at this point. Sylvanas would drag Arthas to the maw and back in a fight as of 8.3. That’s just how powerful she is. Maybe back then Arthas would’ve stood a chance. But now he’s basically a trash mob compared to Sylvanas.
Other villains that are nowhere near as powerful as Sylvanas:
Bolvar
Sargeras
Kil’Jaeden
Guldan
Tyrande
I wonder where her character arc will take her in 9.0?
I saw this coming a mile away. They are just trying to repeat what worked: morally gray character went from pure humble beginning to tyranny, then redeems herself and saves the world with her infinite power and cleverness.
I just don’t know if it will work as well here in WoW.
More Garrosh 2.0. My guess is Tyrande will kill Sylvanas during the leveling story. That is why the leveling zones has to be played in a certain order.
Yeah and krillin can be 20x canonical higher power level than freeza and still have his a** handed to him by a sentient cucumber. If anything Saurfang and Bolvar only showed that they were the Krillins/Tiens of the DBZ universe and the writing isn’t as good as the master piece the legend of wotlk was.
He shook of the new plague after Saurfang the Younger got killed my his Spiked Shield alone. He was god-tier villain and I’d pay so much to watch him be given the narrative he deserved.
She is not more powerful than Arthas, and definitely not more powerful the Sargeras. That is how I knew this was a BS post actually, you could debate Arthas. Sargeras? Not even with plot armor.
Bolvar was a stand in, if 10 players could take out Arthas he was not that powerful now was he. They didn’t, Tiron did. Tiron was squashed like a bug by some big olaf a demon.
Gul’dan was the most anticlimatic defeat and I really hated that character. Azshara is god-like in her powers and that was quite a let down too.
If you really start to examine the Warcraft NPC’s they’re like the Tic, Nigh- Invulernable. It is as if I have to continually repeat, they story is really lame. It has been since the end of Wrath, when the foundations of the story came to its conclusion.
Sylvanas is not more powerful, she and any of the character are as powerful as they want without rhyme or reason or respect. They will rework any part of the mythos in any fashion as they want cuz someone thinks it is cool or interesting.
In the end, I bet she was perish inconsequentially like other bosses leaving a distastefully unsatisfactory mid-expansion raid. To which, even more players will just up and quit because it will be lame all around.
There are no more cool characters, you are left with the most banal line-up of politically correct androgynous cartoon characters that lack any spine or vigor. Because the authors are terrible.
So argue about who is more powerful, it just does not matter.
Trion spent the entire fight frozen until the light allowed him to break free and he launched a surprise attack with the Ashbringer to destroy Frostmourne. That released the souls which turned on him.
