The Red Arremer, the most iconic non-boss foe in Ghosts and Goblins, finally reared his ugly head in my latest story! While beatable, he is still a fearsome foe. Who can slaughter him?

Can: Finn

The challenge I put for my leads this time is to have the opponents face the less suitable enemy for them: Finn the Golden Skeleton, who took forever because Finn relies on non-magical weapons (Leah would destroy him with her Beast Hammer) and Leah the Red Arremer, who used flight and range and gave Leah a lot of trouble. Finn, however, is by far the best Stormwolf member for an Arremer. His homing blaster bolts, which aren't fooled by heat because he uses the Force, and his crafty use of the Force in general hard counter the Red Arremer, who is not too durable for his rank but can easily dodge shots.

Can't: Silver Moblin

No variant of the Silver Moblin can stand up to an Arremer. The Red Arremer is far more mobile, has flight and is smarter. He also has more spells. The only variant of the Silver Moblin that can land hits is the machine gun wielders, and even then the Red Arremer can easily dodge most of the shots.

Can: Sir Arthur

Ok, sure, he can do that in his game because he has to. And sure, they are a challenge to him. But Arthur has a lot of skill with thrown weapons, and his sword is very deadly in close range. Finally, he can cast powerful spells. In general, while the Arremer is a threat to him, Arthur can still kick his ass.

Can't: Chewbacca

Chewbacca is a Mighty Glacier. While slow, he is very strong, and can kill creatures stronger than the Red Arremer. However, while he can in theory take down the demon in a few hits, that's IF he can hit him. The Arremer can easily dodge the bowcaster bolts and set his fur on fire with his spells, and he will use hit and run tactics because he is not mindless.

Can: Armilla

Armilla the Vampire Lady is one of the few early villains who can actually win against the Arremer. While he does stand a chance as he can burn her, she outclasses him at everything. She is stronger, able to lift a bulldozer, her summons are superior to his as she can summon a horde of Stygians, she can fly as a vampire, and her gift means she surpasses him even in speed. She is also no less cautious and smart than him, and can throw knives with great speed and precision.

Can't: Zafrina

Nessie's bodyguard, she has the power to make lifelike illusions to fool the Arremer, wields a spear and is physically stronger than most vampires. However, the Red Arremer can set her on fire with his fireballs, is fast enough to keep himself out of her range, is smart enough to not fall for the same illusion more than once and he has the advantage at range.

Can: Force Hunter

The Red Arremer might be very tough, but he is not the absolute best the Legion has. The Force Hunters are experiments which were made with one purpose, the perfect race. The Red Arremer only has them beat in one area, intelligence. However, the Force Hunter is much, much stronger than him. He can also fly, meaning he can catch up, has a plethora of ranged weapons, including very destructive for the Arremer homing missiles, his shield can withstand the Arremer's attacks and regenerate, and his plasma cannon and machine guns can land several hits. If the Arremer gets close, a chainsaw to the face will end him.

Can't: Golden Skeleton

While the two were equal threats in my last chapter, the Arremer hard counters the Golden Skeleton. He is much faster and smarter, and will avoid melee range and the greatsword that can split him in two with two hits. The Golden Skeleton gets twice as much damage from magic, so the energy balls and the fireballs could safely do him in.

Can: Alix

Considering Alix has, although barely, beaten Tabo, who fought like an Arremer but with actual weapons, it's a safe bet she can also deal with the Arremer. Her wolf form could serve as a way to discourage him from going full melee, and she can fire barrages of knives or feathers, depending on her being a human or a falcon. She is also smart with her projectiles, and fast enough to catch up to her foe. Being stronger than the Arremer, she can take him down in a straight fight.

Can't: Typhoon Trooper

Typhoon Troopers were the best living soldiers of the Imperial Remnant, in a way even more dangerous than the Dark Troopers. They have fearsome Riot Batons for close range, an energy shield for defense, and a blaster for long range. However, they are stuck on the ground, and while they are fast, the Arremer is even faster and can attack them from behind. While they can give him pause with their techology, he still has the advantage by far.
