    which one would come out on top in a round robin 1v1 tournament?

    These were the conditions. Whether or not anyone has the resources of an empire or the numidium doesn't apply. Yes, I am talking about the protagonists of the main game. Comparing their power sets, who would come out on top? I want specifics of feats. E.g. LDB can shout fire, become ethereal etc. How do they compare in a fight?

      This doesn't really work, because you can't just get these characters in a round robin 1v1 tournament without breaking the lore (timelines, getting HoK out of oblivion) so doing a lore analysis is kinda moot. but I guess if we are talking pre-apotheosis HoK, and we just time travel everyone into a pocket realm of oblivion, The Eternal Champion, the Hero of Kavatch and The Agent just get wiped instantly by the LBD's thuum and the Neravarine's artifacts (keening, sunder, and wraithguard), as they are just mortals who did a thing. Between the LBD and Neravarine, I would say the LBD comes out on top, simply due to the fact that the LBD has bend will wich can mind control even Dragons, which are some of the most powerfull non-deity status beings in the universe.

        Unless HoK gets off a lucky wabbajack right out the gate while LDB is preparing the shout. Now I need to know which attack takes longer.

          Wabbajack is probably faster than 3 word shout. 1 word shout is probably faster than wabbajack.

            IMO I think wabbajack wins then. Is there a single word shout that could instantly render the HoK out of the fight? Cause if not then it's over for LDB. Even if they single shouts anything to interrupt the HoK he now has a cool down for the next shout. HoK just need to be able to smack them with one good wabbajack and it's over.

              Perhaps not render HoK out of the fight, but can protect LDB from wabbajack itself. Slow time and Become Ethereal can at least negate the initial wabbajack.

                True I guess but those are just temporary and the cool down would take long enough that as soon as the effects wear off it's wabba time. Sure LDB might get off one or two free hits but if we are talking about a fully geared and leveled HoK, it would take more than a couple of hits to take them out. In the meantime the second those effects wear off it's game over.

        So let's say that someone used an elder scroll in each timeline and every hero were transported to Sovngarde, you would give the win to HoK because the lore describes his feats as greater than every other hero?

          Neravarine has the most feats (killed multiple god-level entities) but feats don't equal power, the ) LBD would win through bend will alone.

              The protagonists don't have a set playstyle, for obvious reasons, all we do know is the the Neravarine has the Tools of Kagranak, wich makes them super power full in many ways, and that they killed living gods with them.

                I mean we know that absent anything else, the LDB at least has the Thu'um. Do any of the others have a default power set?

                  No, all the protagonists are just some person with powerful artifacts and some way of fighting, with the exception of the LDB, who is not just a person, but an actual dragon.
