Sorry if this has been asked before, but I simply couldn't find any thread on this subject :p
Anyhow, as the title says, I'm curious as to whether Bahamut or Nidhogg would be more powerful. If my memory serves correctly, Nidhogg is the father of all dragons, yet Bahamut is an Elder Primal himself. I guess it's a "chicken or egg" thing in this situation to me.
Thanks for reading and have fun discussing!
I don't think any dragon can be stronger than a dragon god. ( Unless he is the main character from a RPG )
This is a difficult question to answer since we don't really know the potential limits of either of them.
Bahamut is a primal and to some extent a 'god' but as the story progresses we are more and more questioning if the primals really are what they seem. We've seen that the regular elemental primals gain strength from worship so it would make sense to assume that Bahamut's strength would depend entirely on how much power he is receiving from worship. In this case Bahamut is receiving all of his 'worship' artificially from Dalamud so he's far stronger than the previous primals we've faced but if released from his prison I don't know how much power he would actually have since Dalamud itself appears to be the only thing keeping him summoned in the first place.
Nidhogg on the other hand is just a mortal dragon as far as we know. Having said that if you've finished the DRG storyline you'll have seen a demonstration of Nidhogg's power and he is very powerful. He is on a completely different scale to the so-called dragons we've encountered so far.
It's impossible to really say as we just don't know enough about either of them yet.
