Five characters from my fics current Finn can beat (and five he can't)



Finn has grown stronger, faster and smarter than before. He came a long way since the runaway Stormtrooper, and even the novice Force user of Exegol.

His last fight was the greatest, and elevated him a lot. However, he still has his limits. Whom can Finn take down?

Can: Rhymey Ward

At this point, it's no longer a contest. Finn took on foes like Lightning as Enticorn, High Priest Kor and a Baron of Hell. Rhymey had trouble with Virago before she became a true Jedi, even though he won.

Can't: Ahsoka Tano

Finn is barely below the level of an Archdemon, using an one-time superweapon to take the so-called weakest one down. Ahsoka Tano is barely below Zant, who as a High General is above Archdemon level. Thus, Ahsoka is still way ahead of Finn.

Can: Darth Crona

Finn has reached the level he can beat inexperienced Sith. Darth Crona can crush his lungs if he gets time, and also fire a barrage of poisonous darts. However, Finn isn't just a tactician, who will fight dirty, he also recently became stronger than Crona, being able to cut the bar in one more piece than him.

Can't: Al Astor

Alastor is considered to be stronger than Astaroth, whom Finn can barely beat. The Archdemon is mobile, versatile and very powerful. While Finn would come very close to winning, he would be overwhelmed.

Can: Don Krieg

Krieg is a walking arsenal with several kinds of weapons, like his exploding spear and bombs. However, while Finn has less weapons, they are more than enough. His Shockbolt will counter the spiked cape, the detonators will damage Krieg's mighty armor, and Finn has become so durable he can take more than one hit from the exploding spear and stay conscious. His saber will also cut through the net like butter.

Can't: Emperor Palpatine

When Finn essentially stopped Palpatine, the Emperor had one percent of his true power. While Finn got stronger since then, and Palpatine's low durability means Finn can take him down instantly on paper, in practice Palpatine can stop everything Finn throws at him with his way superior Force abilities. Finn has to reach Palpatine's level if he wants to stand a chance against the Dark One.

Can: Master Toni

Finn's first mentor, he taught him important skills like controlling plasma with the Force. However, Finn has more than surpassed him, having finished off two fearsome Archdemons and trained with Rey and Leia.

Can't: Pan Hancock

Ok, it's unfair to compare Finn to my actual author avatar, but the former is catching up to the latter. So, Pan mostly appeared to fend off bullies who preyed on rookie heroes. However, he was tested and showed his limits against a Force Hunter... whom he beat by himself, something none in Stormwolf has done. Pan also will easily stop the Shockbolt and knows the fearsome Thunderstorm. Even Finn can't stand up to a direct hit from that spell.

Can: Armilla

Armilla is notorious for beating and capturing Finn. She also did numerous advances on the man. However, he could severely wound her in the Egypt arc, where he was much weaker than now. A few guided Hot Shots and reflected silver knives would destroy the Vampire Lady.

Can't: Zant

Finn's other most notable defeat was when he learned what a High General means. Zant is notably someone who gives orders to Archdemons and they fear him. While Finn got better since his previous encounter with Zant, he still has a long way to reach him, since he is a bit below the tier below Zant.
