WarineNo way people are denying Arthur being top 1, a guy named Arthur in asoiaf for some reason with a magic sword, I wonder where grrm was going with that?
BulletDayne is already said by the author himself to be a 50/50 with Baristan and only getting the edge because of Dawn.
He was the best of his era but no reason to assume he'll never be surpassed.
WarineI remember grrm clearly picking Arthur Dayne to protect him during a trial by combat with no hesitation at all. Considering also the fact he is very loosely based on Arthur Pendragon...
BulletThere is more context to that trial thing
He asked does it have to be from the game of thrones era then he said Jaime if he has two hands, he also said Brienne. If wasn't a long thought out clear answer to confirm who's the strongest in history.
Also why would it matter if he's based on Arthur? He's not his incarnation.
BulletDayne is equal to Baristan so that makes him the top of kingsguard level in skill
Has Dawn which gives him the edge against a lot of other warriors but in no way does he have an iron claim to be above everyone from any era.
WarineYou re making up stuff lol, when he asked if it was only got characters, he talked about someone who was flat out not from asoiaf. His first choice for a warrior from the seven kingdoms was in fact Arthur dayne, no one else. And yes being based on the greatest knight ever is saying something, the strongest is not going to be some random bodyguard from god knows when.
BulletTough choice... From the seven Kingdoms.. Dayne but then he arrives at Brienne
Is Brienne the current strongest character in the series?
It's a random question and he gave a couple of names that came to his mind and it's not the slam dunk case that you think it is.
BulletWhat we know for a fact is Dayne is equal to Selmy so he's not the absolute best of his era even if not for his magic sword let alone all time.
