Would illidan defeat guldan on a fair 1v1?

[Vampiregenesis]

Illidan defeated a powerless guldan who was incapable to do anything but what would happen if illidan tried to go in a fight against a fully powered guldan without external help? would he still be able to defeat the warlock?

[Calfredd]

A fully powered Gul'dan is not a one-on-one fight. It would have to be Illidan vs. phase 1 Gul'dan if we're going by no help.

[Traveler Voltin]

Illidan would slaughter gul'dan.

[schwarzkopf]

For Gul'Dan - cheating is classified as fair

Illidan wins unless gul'dan is full hulk mode like the raid with sargeras' steroid boost.

Base Illidan vs Base Gul'dan?

All that remains of Gul'dan is a pile of blood, urine and vomit.

Gul'dan, people that say Illidan are fanboys.

In most scenarios "yes"...

In Gul'dans final form... not so sure about that one...

Especially after seeing how Blizzard is trying to make us feel like we are on a somewhat similar level in strength as lore characters are lately.
BTW; when did we revert to shonen-fan level of discussions on these forums?

Gul'dan would never fight ''fair'', he'd get a demon hunter to betray illidan,

[Dagoth Ur]

WIthout Gul'dan's Eye of Amanthul shenanigans Illidan would win.

In one of the missions on WC3 - Ilidan killed tichondrious 1v1 (even with tich summoning infernals to aid him actually). Its a canon part of the game.. I don't see how guldan can do any better.

[UnluckyAmateur]

Same results as the cinematic but add in a few spell dodging.

[Boathouse]

Gul'dan would never fight a fair 1v1 because he would lose.

Give both time to prepare and Gul'dan would win every time.Not even Khadgar is foolish enough to fight a prepared Gul'dan

[Rafoel]

Yes. Gul'dan was never individually incredibly powerful. He was a powerful warlock but mostly worked in the shadows.

Illidan was an accomplished warrior and spellcaster.

WoD Gul'dan is not our-universe Gul'dan. The Gul'dan we fight in Nighthold got immense power-up by absorbing the energies of Tomb of Sargeras during the audiobook Blizzard created short before Legion launch. Back then he was comparable to Khadgar, and even hid before him. Now, Khadgar is like a flea comparing to Gul'dan.

Nevertheless, Illidan's true power emerges while fighting against fel. Hard to say who would win. -

[Eazy]

Illidan consumed Gul'dans power, so it's his power + Gul'dan power vs Gul'dan power.
Obvious answer.

People are saying that Gul'dan would prepare better for the fight or cheat. Maybe, but he would still lose. Illidan destroyed him the same way Gul'dan destroyed Varian, that orc couldn't handle as much fel power as Illidan.

Nonetheless - Illidan was the one who killed him once and for all.

[Makorus]

Why does it have to be Guldan without any enhancements while it's fine for Illidan to use all the powers he absorbed from various artifacts?

[KrazyK923]

Gul'dan wouldn't even let himself get into a "fair" fight with ANYONE.

That outclasses raw power any day imo.

Neither of them, know the term "fair fight"...
