In the world of Game of Thrones, there have been many figures revered as excellent combatants. Countless characters lay a claim to the title of best fighter, but some legends shine brighter than others. I have created this ranking based on the mythology presented in the Game of Thrones novels and accompanying spinoffs. This list is not based on the TV show in any capacity.
It was difficult to create this ranking, as certain characters’ fighting ability is based on legend and renown solely, as opposed to certified feats. In response to this, I decided to consider the legends about them to be utter truth. If you do not agree with the order I have created, feel free to sound off in the comments below! This ranking is of course only my opinion based on the information I have gathered. I would love to hear what you would change!
If you wish to learn more about the characters on this list, I fully recommend you click the link below to be led straight to the Game of Thrones wiki search bar. From there, you can search for whoever you would like. I have fallen in love with the mythology that has been created for this world. I hope by introducing you to some of these characters you can develop an appreciation for the lore as well!
