Who is the WoL's Equal?

[YianKutku]

I have the strong impression that Raubahn with both arms would probably have been a match for the WoL. Maybe the WoL would still have won, but it might be a close fight.

Gaius van Baelsar managed to hold off several Scions, including the 1.0 WoL, single-handedly. I believe getting stuck inside Ultima Weapon was why he ultimately (rimshot) lost.

I'm still sore about the story thinking that Zenos defeated me in the Stormblood quests. In both "hopeless" battles, I was easily holding my own as WHM and SCH, and could basically keep chipping away at his massive HP bar indefinitely. Like, when he did that plot-ability stun and HP-to-critical, I was sitting there thinking "but Benediction is off cooldown..."

Ascians, and the Warriors of Darkness for the same reasons, require special plot devices to permanently defeat. So technically they would be superior to the WoL without those plot devices.

For non-martial prowess, Lolorito demonstrably screwed us over and got away with it. Then he made a point to give us a support structure in Kugane just to mess with our heads. The only time we got the better of Lolorito was in culinary accomplishments.
