AP should be comparable, as Gna fought Kratos + Freya and scared Fenrir while Hercules is Hercules.

Gna has range in spades, the ability to blind Herc with that smokescreen ability, dura neg via Bifrost, and Time manip/stop with Vanir Magic.

 

[Planck69]

Gna and Hercules are about even in physical statistics, with Hercules holding a small advantage. Not to mention that his Nemean Cestus greatly amplify his physical blows and make them devastating even for beings on par with him. The stun effect specifically leaves many openings for him to get additional hits in. And his grapples would a great issue for Gna to break out of.

That said, in terms of versatility and combat mobility, Gna completely leaves him in the dust. She has a wide array of elemental attacks to use against him, not to mention her Bifrost beams, blasts and area denial waves that can explode directly on his person and bypass his blocks. Her flight allows her to avoid a lot of his attacks and she can also manifest Bifrost weapons to use.

Their stamina is pretty high, with Gna likely holding a small advantage there. And in terms of experience, Gna takes the lead what with her centuries of experience in wars with gods.

Gna should take this mid-high difficulty.

Gna FRA. Guess Hercules has no counter to bifrost energy

Voting Gna for my reasons and Planck's reasons above.

 

[The_Axiom_of_Virgo]

Gna doesn't get aHead of herself FRA.

Also it should be noted Herc is kinda prideful which may give Gna even more openings to chip away at him.

Inb4 KLOL goes: "Yeah she has all these advantages, but Herc's stun tho"-

 

[KLOL506]

Gna FRA

Too bad Gna has the Stun effect to counter. MWAHAHAHAHA

 

[KLOL506]

Actually, don't we have another Herc vs Gna thread? I think I remember asking what Herc's gonna do against Bifrost hax.

 

[1st_Virtue_of_Pure_Void]

Gna RA

No that was probably Heimdall.

I think that was Herc vs Nidhogg, where despite the latter having bifrost hax you said it was incon.

 

[KLOL506]

Huh. Weird.

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

Hercules extreme High Diff via strength advantage and resistance canon.

Kratos had a hard time against him, Herc only lost cuz he showed off and payed for it.

Also Hercules has no incentive of being prideful against Gna unlike Kratos. And in terms of experience and skill his resume of 13 labors and other legends is nothing to scoff at. He is considered a great tactician.

Gna is good, but her wincons are low probability.

She has dura neg via bifrost, which in "Hercules vs Heimdall" was shown to be a massive advantage that Hercules really can't counter.

She can also distract him by summoning the undead with Vanir Magic or even use Vanir magic to do Time Stops.

She can also amp her durability with bifrost magic.

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

She has dura neg via bifrost,

Kratos also had those, didn't help him much. At the end of the day, he had to outwrestle and outbox Hercules anyways.

She can also distract him by summoning the undead with Vanir Magic or even use Vanir magic to do Time Stops.

Canon fodder. Single ground slam or Nemean slap is vaporising them.

And Gna held her own against two beings on the same level as Hercules. The actual power gap between them scaling wise is near negligible.

Also Hercules has no incentive of being prideful against Gna unlike Kratos. And in terms of experience and skill his resume of 13 labors and other legends is nothing to scoff at. He is considered a great tactician.

I'm fairly sure that if he was willing to get prideful against Kratos, who'd just killed the Brother Kings by then, a random winged warrior goddess isn't making him take her seriously like it's the fight of his life.

His experience and skill aren't anything to scoff at I agree but it's still that against fighting a war against what's basically another pantheon for centuries followed by her time working for Odin.

Gna is good, but her wincons are low probability.

Flying around and raining down Bifrost blasts that further detonate on Hercules' direct person is low probability? Or push comes to shove, eventually just using the other Valkyrie powers?

 

[Eseseso]

Herc has zero counter for dura neg or time stop.

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

Herc has zero counter for dura neg or time stop.

Well Herc does resist Blade of Olympus Ki blasts that dura neg, but yeah time stop he has no answer to

 

[Marvel_Champion_07]

Gna FRA. And that's grace

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

You mean Gna? Lol

 

[Planck69]

Herc has zero counter for dura neg or time stop.

One of which isn't a oneshot ability and the other isn't anywhere near a first, second or tenth resort.
