Poll: Sword battle - Conan vs Geralt vs Aragorn vs Achilles

[NIGHTBRINGER]

Conan eats witches and wizards for breakfast. Faster than Aragorn, also fights dirty when it has to.
But Achilles is blessed by the gods and only have one wickness, so there’s no too much to pick there

I think you guys are sleeping on Geralt. Of all our combatants he is the most physically enhanced (specifically movie/tv versions).

Faster than Aragorn

The Arnie movie version of Conan is by far the slowest of the four fighters. While that is largely due to the age of the film (and the weight of his sword, 8lbs for those that don't know), it still holds.

In terms of speed it's Achilles and Geralt at the top, followed by Aragorn and finally Conan at the bottom.

I was very specifically not. I was actually trying to think of a way to push Geralt ahead of Achilles. Problem was, I don't know how potent his tonics are in the TV series. If it was game Geralt and he had time to prepare, I would have given him the ultimate victory.

I am open to changing my vote to him if somebody can tell me with honesty that the tonics are just as potent in the show as they are in the games.

Though, being that all three opponents are human, even game tonics lose some potency, as they are first and foremost about buffing him against monsters and cursed beings.

I still believe that Achilles tops the list, but I think that Geralt slaughters Conan and Aragorn.

Yeah, but then you would have to put him up against mythological Achilles!

Unfortunately it has been a long time since I watched it and I gave up on it entirely when Cavill was first reported to be leaving the show.
