Sylvanas with Jailor Power vs Lich King Arthas with Frostmourne

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Who would win? They are at equal strength.
Arena: The Frozen Throne
Sylvanas at full power of the Maw
vs
Lich King Arthas with Frostmourne
No allies are summoned during the battle.

Considering we don't know the powers of the Maw the debate is dead in the water.

[Varodoc]

Arthas would win. The only reason why Sylvanas won against Bolvar is because he lacked the physical might of Frostmourne, and even with that hammer alone he certainly did not go down without a fight. It wasn't an easy win for Sylvanas, and Bolvar proved to be a tough opponent when he conjured that storm around her.

Chains hold frostmourne in place. Sylvanas fires an arrow straight between the helmet. More chains and more chains. GG.

[Candy Cough]

Remember when Tirion defeated Arthas in one strike?

So do I

Sylvanas takes this aslong as she keeps her distance. The lich kings power is in his ability to command the dead

Assuming that Arthas just stands around doing nothing for some reason, then sure, I could see that happening.

[Amnasty]

Sylvanas considering the new powers she has would win I think, if she keeps the fight at range. But if Arthas lands a single blow with Frostmourn, she done, her banshee form would be pulled into the sword.

Yeah with a literal miracle from The Light. Tirion was trapped in ice and did nothing. C’mon now.

[Littleraven]

Considering she was able to tear the helm of domination in half I'm gonna have to give this to Sylvanas. People love Arthas and that is going to sway their opinions but Blizzard has been powering up Sylvanas at an insane rate and we still know jack shit about the Jailer or how powerful he is. We just know he is incredibly ancient and predates most everything in the Warcraft universe. Sure that doesn't necessarily equate to power but we are talking about a dude who was able to literally break the cycle of death in his favor.

We have no idea how much power he is giving to Sylvanas or how much power they both get from each soul they take. And at this point I would argue the body count they both have is massive. Because lets not forget. Sylvanas doesn't have to personally kill anyone. Literally anyone who dies gets funneled into the Maw.

[Florena]

Probably Sylvanas at this point. Frostmourne's powerful sure but not indestructible and not uncounterable with her tricks and power.

Old Sylvanas would never have beaten Arthas 1 on 1, halls of reflection made that clear, but with her massive power level boost for Shadowlands I think she would probably have beaten lich king arthas. Maybe it wouldn't have been a curbstomp like it was against Bolvar. But she probably would have won.

Of course the real answer is just 'whoever the writers needed to win for plot reasons.'

[Maljinwo]

Sylvanas wins because she becomes more powerful from every teen jacking off to her

[MatadorMedia]

This is really a debate between the powers of Maldraxxus versus the Maw. If we assume they are equal, which we kind of have to because we have nothing to go on here, then the difference is made through the support offered. Arthas has powerful stolen gear and Ner'zhul, but no direct connection to Maldraxxus. Sylvanas has no gear, but has the Val'kyr and a direct connection to the Maw. So... is the gear stronger (Arthas wins) or is the direct support greater (Sylvanas wins). I think the power granted by the Jailer would rate higher than the siphoned power in Frostmourne. Sylvanas wins.

Remember when Arthas one-shot all the champions when he was getting bored? The only reason Tirion won was because of Deus ex Machina.

Lmao, Arthas one shotting us is the rule of cool nothing more

You seriously believe that King Terenas an arrogant old king that has displayed no previous feats of wielding the light can ressurect the greatest champions on azeorth in an instant?
It took Aegwynn and and the entire council of tirisfal to BARELY ressurect medivh

Come on now

[ilgynoth]

Sylvanas ofc.
Everyone who says Arthas, is delusional.

Sylvanas uses the original Death Magic from the Jailer, while the Lich King (Arthas and Nerzhul) was just a copy of the Jailer, without his magic.
I see people arguing about Frostmourne? Sylvanas IS a Frostmourne herself.
She doesnt need a weapon which imprisons souls that it kills, to gain power. She just kills people and becomes stronger.

Edit: She literally destroys the Helm of Domination with her own hands, something that was crafted by a god-like entity from the shadowlands.

Like it or not, but fact is that Sylvanas right now is on a God-like power lvl.

How is it the rule of cool? It literally happened. Just like Tirion said a prayer, was uber buffed to destroy Frostmourne out of nowhere and resurrected everyone. The shit Tirion pulled off was a Deus Ex, The Lich King killing us on his playground was not.

Well Frostmourne and helm of dominion was made from the same material and by same person and armor is usually much more durable than weapons meaning sylvanases physical power is at an level he could do same to frostmourne with her bare hands.

We have never seen arthases physical strenght being in close to that level.

[Syegfryed]

people saying Arthas would win are delusional, she clean the floor with Bolvar without even using much of her current powers

She would pretty much broke frostmourne with her teeth, by the level she is right now, like the sword would rly matter ha

[Askyl]

Sylvanas alone vs Arthas and his army? Arthas Wins
Sylvanas vs Arthas in a 1v1? Would take a bit longer than vs Bolvar, but she'd manage without a scratch.

Arthas and the Lich Kings powers was in the army of the undead. Frostmourne made him quite powerful as well, but not enough to win against a demi-god.

Remember when blizz said Lei shen would arthas LK at his full power 1v1 and it took lei shen at the top of his power 30 days and 30 nights to defeat an wild god about the same level of a wild which fel infused orc Warrior 1v1......
