Kholek

Greasus

Belakor

Skarbrand should be.
Though Kholek gets that great resistance buffs that can stack up and make him unhittable almost.

Skarbrand

if i read correctly i believe Skarbrand's melee damage will be in the high 600s tac on his physical resist he's gonna be an absolute sledge hammer. Also depends if thats with or without Slaughter & Carnage

Greasus.

Saitoh#8503

Skarbrand has to be considerably better in melee than an exalted bloodthirster since he can't fly so probably him.

Hondlis#2158

CA already confirmed Skarbrand to be the single most powerful melee lord in series. Why should our opinion any differ?

Depends.

Strongest for what? Dueling or winning battles?

Bloodydagger#9716

Grimgor

busbee247#5862

with the active abilities you're next and gitsnik i wouldnt bet against grimgor

Pocman#6295

Grimgor is not even the strongest right now..., so we can discard him.

Probably Skarbrand.

Captain_Rex#1635

Skarbrand or Glottbros.

Valkaar#2507

Skarbrand SHOULD be.

But the melee characters with AoE abilities and healing WILL be.

Malus, Tyrion, Imrik etc. Archaon too if he's allowed to be counted with his Lore of Fire. Those kinds of folks.

People like Grimgor and Kholek ALREADY are inferior melee characters in Campaign to tho those I just listed. If Skarbrand gets envisioned "like Kholek", he won't be in the running for the strongest.

He'll still be strong! He won't be a pushover. I'm sure he'll 1-man Doomstack viable and everything.

But you didn't ask: "who will be strong"? You asked "who will be strongest?" Likely, it won't be anyone on that list without significant healing and major blob-clearing splash.

If Skarbrand isn't the strongest, CA have implemented him incorrectly. Bloodthirsters are basically brutal strength incarnate, and Skarbrand is strong even among bloodthirsters. He should be expected to beat anything he fights one on one.

Not sure why Greasus even makes the list, we already have his stats and he's not even as strong as a standard exalted bloodletter. He's also pitifully slow for an SEM. Unless he comes with a host of buffs and abilities, I suspect he'll be among the least effective combat lords just due to his speed.
