I'm torn. We haven't seen Euron fight anyone, but we have a lot of evidence that implies he is pretty much a badass.

He's iron born. Most of those guys are crazy tough, let alone one that commands as many followers as Euron. He has fucked over Victarion before without consequence, and we have evidence that Victarion is a grade A hardass. Now, Big V claims that being a kinslayer is the one thing that kept Euron safe, but I'm not entirely convinced. Crow's Eye is also a pirate that has been to the Far East and back without dying, doubtless he encountered some rough crowds along the way and is alive to tell about it. I think someone that commands the respect of so many different people must have proven himself many times over in single combat and war.

If anything, it was acting like some big new proclamation. You could have quoted me, at least.

You're absolutely right. But Mecca is right too. And when it comes down to it if they're pretty much equal in terms of how badass they are, Oberyn's poison tipped spear is going to fuck up the Crow's Eye.

I think you're right. An expertly handled spear is a heck of a reach advantage over sword and shield when all else seems to be equal.

Daario Naharis

Image
Image

Daario Naharis is a Tyroshi captain of the sellsword company called the Stormcrows. He wears a Dothraki arakh on his left hip and a Myrish stiletto on his right hip. Daario is a capable warrior and like most sellswords is fickle, faithless and brutal. He is also quick to anger and reckless.

I count no day as lived unless I have loved a woman, slain a foeman, and eaten a fine meal...

Gregor Clegane

Image

Ser Gregor Clegane is the Knight of Clegane's Keep and is the head of House Clegane, which are landed knights and bannermen to House Lannister. Gregor is a freakishly large man and for this he is often called The Mountain That Rides or simply The Mountain. Gregor Clegane is well known for his size, cruelty, and prowess in battle. Gregor is extremely tall (he is close to eight feet in height). He has "massive shoulders and arms thick as the trunk of small trees", and a voice like stone breaking. Gregor weighs over thirty stone (420 lbs), nearly all of it muscle, making him near inhumanly strong. Gregor's strength allows him to wield a six-foot, two-handed greatsword with just one hand, giving him enormous reach while still wielding a shield. Such is the power of Gregor's strength that he has been known to hack men in half with just a single blow. In battle he wears the heaviest, thickest plate armor in the Seven Kingdoms. His armor is so heavy that no ordinary man would be able to move, let alone fight effectively while wearing it, making him nigh-invincible in combat. Below the plate he wears chainmail and boiled leather. He also wears a plate helm with only a narrow slit for vision, atop of which is a stone fist punching up towards the sky. Gregor carries an extremely thick oaken shield bearing the three black dogs of House Clegane on a yellow field.

No other knight in the realm inspires such terror in our enemies.

Interesting that two characters who have been played by multiple actors in the show are facing off this round.
