Continuing the omni-fight thing, if we let folks bring in friends/allies/infinite their-canon resources, things get... sillier. Nasuverse canon, you could have a tantric orgy on top of a mountain of magically charged gems and do, well, pretty much
anything. To say nothing of tapping some
thingone like Zelretch (though, being fair, I'd probably be amused if that one came visiting. Dude played volleyball with the
goddamn moon and basically wields the power of fanfiction manifest into reality.) to come play. And there's probably crazier stuff out there, Nasuverse is pretty twisty. It'd be pretty interesting if Nuke Chick lost her power when Eldrad showed up.
Lot of it for Archer depends on other things, though... especially
range. It's another one of those things in his and Nanoha's favor that they can both operate pretty far out if they feel like it, which would fairly well nix several of the other guys. That might be a point in Eldrad's favor, too, if he brought along some heavier Eldar firepower, but the rest of the mentioned (insofar as I know) were pretty heavily limited by both line of sight and fairly close range. Those three can potentially operate from a couple miles out, heh.
Though, uh. Nanoha's space capable, right? Rocks fall, everyone dies.Bink... yeah, if you interpret Archer's stuff as magically created (though that's not quite what's going on, per se. It's more like magic is tricking reality into thinking they exist
), that'd be a potential problem. Solvable by shooting Luke and nicking the lightsaber, heh. Or possibly just beating Bink to death, which, uh. He'd probably be pretty capable of, really. Counter-guardian version, definitely, even without magical reinforcement.
I'd forgotten about balefire, though, and only got...
maybe half way through Rand's series (a long, long time ago, so I remember nothing
) so I don't exactly remember what the dude can do beyond that. Poor guy would still fit into the squsihy wizard category comparatively, though. Archer (spear through heart, still going, whee! Well, and there's the one that can at least partially turn himself
into swords, iirc.) and Nanoha (Barrier jacket, taking skyscraper wrecking shots and still moving, etc.) are the only ones that really approach tanky, with probably Eldrad and possibly Gandalf (if he does, in fact, have non-magical weapons immunity) coming in second.
I'm kinda' amused that Raven hasn't even crossed my mind as viable, though. Telekinetic that
might be able to emergency summon a demon in? Meh. And poor Harry. Poor, poor Harry. Best chance he'd have against g'damn anything is AK, and the chances of that even hitting pretty much ever other person specifically mentioned is zero. Cept maybe Rand, I'unno.
