Badass Versus Thread

[Daiki]

Gorgon is that monstrous hero slayer that required the Olympians to give NPs (specially geared to defeat her) to Perseus so he guy could even stand a chance.

She has stats that places her in a different category, can buff herself with Monstrous Strength / Full Gorgon Mode, as well as possessing debuff skill / NP and a healing factor that likely allows to survive Galatine when combined with her ridiculous size and durability. She also apparently regens maryoku.

tldr; Odds are Gawain either, at best, survives until dinner or, at worst, ends up as a snack.

Avenger Gorgon Vs Saber Gawain.

Gawain's burn damage > Gorgon's curse damage (at same NP level and overcharge). Gawain wins the DOT game.

[Menwearpink]

Well it isn’t as if Gawain isn’t a hero who cannot slay monsters himself.

In the morning he’d certainly have enough power to contest her. He has the swordsmanship and armor of a Round Knight and a giant beam.

Its a difficult battle but I think he can beat up a servant Gorgon through his own powers, rather than a big advantage or counter.

Super Calamity Monster Goddess and Super Sun Super Knight. Sounds fun.

[SpoonyViking]

I don't think Servant!Gorgon is on the same level as the monster slain by Perseus. Not yet, at least.
I think it will be a fun fight to watch, but ultimately, it's a Hero versus a Monster. I'd bet on Gawain.

[Menwearpink]

Obviously not. But that’s servants in general no. That said I imagine Avenger Gorgon is a bit weaker but more stable than a other class Medusa who goes full Gorgon through monstrous strength and transforms.

Ashwatthama vs Sigurd

[CO9p5JMGv!p9]

doesn't ash's second NP involve time travel? i imagine that's hard to beat

[AAM1232]

It also nearly killed him due to using Shiva's Authority which his SG couldn't withstand.

[I Can't Believe It's Not A NoblePhantasm]

i'm presuming it's not tiamat-gorgon? because if not, i imagine gawain takes it without much contest

What makes you think there's much of a difference? It seemed more like the grail gave her super regen if anything, and aside from that, Gorgon was merely created by the grail, not powered by it. Assuming Ana Gorgon is more like Avenger Gorgon (and why not, she's not receiving Tiamat powers) then how well she did against Tiamat would be pretty impressive. I'd say Gorgon definitively beats nightime Gawain. Sunlight Gawain is iffy.

I second this. Her NP is literally making a temporary transformation into that state. If Gorgon was at her fully monstrous state, she'd destroy Gawain.

Can Gorgon tank Galatine's solar flare attack?

Can Gawain get out of Breaker Gorgon

[Blastedspider]

Gawain isn't a monster slayer though.
Or at least that aspect is not very pronounced.

[Tobias]

Again, it is my understanding that the gorgon summoned by guda is a twenty foot tall monster god with the power of several servants. She is strong enough to fight Gawain on equal footing and has a NP that can take her more fully into the Uber form thats basically a Capitol G God

galantine miiiiight be able to do the job but if it can’t I don’t see him having any of the needed affinity or right type of combat experience needed to withstand that kind of overwhelming power. Put another way, I don’t think Gawain really has a lot of experience in dealing with an equal to greater physical threat when enhanced by the sun

[forumghost]

Also isn't he weak to large breasted purpleheads with nonhuman parts?

[Rafflesiac]

On the contrary, he'll last as long as he needs to.

He and Artoria fought Vortigern when he was basically in United Kingdoms Of Great Britain But A Dragon mode. He's definitely got combat experience in that region, even if he did piss himself at the sight before a petite blonde got him to man up.

Would the sun buff help him with that?

Yeah, none of the KotRT are monster slayers on the same level as someone like Theseus or Beowulf, but they've faced their share of non-human threats.

Although that might change if we add the Mabinogion versions of those characters to the mix - and my understanding is that TM does. Plus, there's apparently a lost tradition of King Arthur being a giant slayer.

Yeah but as I understand it in the nasuverse monsters and dragons are two seperate caragories. It’s kind of like having a 10% damage boost and plus one AC to your abilities when fighting water types but this time the enemy is an ice type, and the DM is a stickler for the rules

TM's vision of King Arthur these days is basically a giant amalgamation where anything goes no matter how obscure (with the occasional dose of original tidbits such as Vortigern's dragon transformation). Bits of the Mabinogion have naturally found there way in there over time, most notably Twrch Trwyth and the retool of Bedivere lacking an arm.

Also, giants are jobbers if even Kay has little trouble killing them.
