Figured I’d do this since a new general has now been released for Ravenna. This list only has characters that are at least alive by the time the story starts. It’s also based on their condition from when the story takes place as I’m not even gonna begin to try to figure out where prime Argos would go.
So from best to worst here’s my list
Ensign that caught Ruby Roger
General Julian
Calvus
General Valerii(Kind of interchangeable with Calvus? Maybe?)
General Argos
Lord Ulricus
Carina
Dame Caesennia
Elius
Revon
If there’s anyone I missed please tell me.
Lord Ulricus is kinda hard to place, I put him where he is here because his title “The bronze hound” seems to be one earned by merit rather than by blood like his Lord title. That said you could still move him around this list a decent bit and still be just as likely to be correct.
Calvus and Valerii are a little hard for me too, cause on one hand Calvus had more health and alongside his lost magic he has curse inheritance as well. However at the same time, Calvus never really mastered any of his abilities and seemed pretty arrogant. Valerii on the other hand has chosen to only hone in on his magic and is constantly vigilant in case of an attack from the Thorne empire so is probably way more on top of his game than Calvus. I think Calvus just barely takes the win here through sheer power, but if you think Valerii is stronger I wouldn’t say you’re wrong.
Any changes you guys would make to this list? How do y’all think these characters would stack up with other POI we’ve met in AO so far?
Didn’t include him cause its not really him and he’s not really with Ravenna anymore. If I did put him on the list though I’d probably put him above Calvus since we know there’s a curse involved, but below Julian since beyond that we know jackshit about him and even if his curse is really good I doubt he’d be a better fighter than someone with their mind intact. But like you said he’s featless so I’m working with very little and he could possibly go somewhere else. I don’t think a curse user would go any lower, but its not totally impossible.
I hope so, I’d really like to see the pay off to the set up at the end of the Ravenna chapter. Some people have said they think he’ll get the cloud curse and will be the first curse user we defeat. I wouldn’t mind if he got the cloud curse cause characters making great use of a power typically considered mid is something I really like, but I’d be really disappointed if his whole revenge speech culminates in him essentially just being a footnote in our adventure, the first and weakest of the curse users we defeat.
