The Power Progression in Dawntrail

[Heroman3003]

I've posted this before, but since it's relevant to this thread:

Is the Warrior of Light really as OP as some like to tihnk?

A snapshot of how our major fights played out:
Zenos (EW): The residual dynamis from the Scions helped us through this fight
Hades/Emet-Selch: This took a team of Warriors of Light, the Scions, Auracite, and our character fused with Ardbert
Nidhogg: We had a power-up in the form of Hraesvelgr's eye
Ultima Weapon Hyadaelyn's protection saved us

But alone, without any form of assistance/magic etc? Well, there is, obviously, Zenos - and he kicked our arse twice. Ran'jit beat us when we fought him the first time too.

I could continue, but I won't - the point is that 'we' have almost never fought a major battle solo/without some form of assistance and the major victories all involved assistance or powerups.
Heck, Endsinger even touched on this after we sent the Scions away to save them - "bereft of the synergy you claims is your strength".

Zodiark, technically.

Zodiark, technically.

Aside from being sundered, Zodiark was being controlled by Fandaniel, whose entire goal was to get Zodiark destroyed to restart the Final Days, so he wasn't exactly going all out.

Eh, true enough. I do subscribe to the school of thought that WoL basically isnt quite as strong as people tout ingame, but is just too central to many events to not be seen as such, but I do think that Zodiark/Hydaelyn are outliers in that regard.
