VS blog: Alear vs Rey (Fire Emblem vs Star Wars)

"Don't let your heredity stop your destiny." - Joel Osteen

Alear, the Divine Dragon.

Rey, the Last Jedi.

At first glance, you wouldn't think that either have traces to villainous origins. You'd be wrong. But the courage to stand up to what was, to make what is, is a trait that both Alear and Rey shared; they made their own destinies and rejected their evil familial ties. Though spawned by evil, they defined themselves as forces for good, and through trial and tribulations, triumphed in the end against their villainous family members. But which destiny defining sword-wielding lady would triumph over the other? That's what I'm here to try and answer, I suppose. Buckle up, we've got a doozy to go through.

Before We Start…

For Alear, the main game of Fire Emblem Engage will be the main thing I'll be pulling from. As for Rey, the 3 sequel movies will be what I take into account for her.

Other things, such as other things that Alear appears in and feats that Rey would be able to pull from will be addressed as well, so do sit tight for that.

Background

Alear

“My mother was everything a Divine Dragon should be. I will honor her last wish and bring peace to Elyos.”

A thousand years ago, within the several nations of the continent of Elyos, a war raged for control of the world. The nations, Firene, Brodia, Elusia, Solm, and Lythos battled against the almighty Fell Dragon Sombron. The child of the Divine Dragon Monarch Lumera, Alear, was pivotal in the defeat and sealing away of the Fell Dragon Sombron. However, from the wounds she sustained in the battle, Alear was plunged into a deep sleep, where she slumbered for a millennia.

When Alear woke, she had lost her memories and hardly remembered anything of her past. On her way to be escorted to her mother to tell the news that she had awoken, Alear and company were attacked by undead monsters known as the Corrupted. Reawakening a small portion of her repressed memory, Alear awakened one of the mystical artifacts that allowed the nations of Elyos to turn the tide against the Fell Dragon all those years ago; an Emblem Ring.

Awakening the ring of the Hero-king, Alear summoned Marth and fended off the Corrupted and saved her company. Eventually Alear arrived and reunited with her mother. It wasn't long until disaster struck yet again, however...

The castle where Lumera resided was attacked, the mysterious intruders aiming to steal several of the other Emblem Rings that were guarded in the castle in order to free the Fell Dragon, whose seal had weakened over the years. In the crossfire, Lumera was mortally wounded, but entrusted the responsibility to stop Sombron and his forces and to gather the rest of the Emblem Rings.

Alear would go on to unite the nations of Elyos against Sombron, and recovered much of her lost memories on her journey, learning that she was in fact, Sombron's child and was originally a Fell Dragon like him. But the love of her adoptive mother Lumera changed her heart and through her intervention, changed her into the Divine Dragon she truly was meant to be. With her army and the Emblem Rings all collected, in a final showdown against the Fell Dragon Alear put an end to Sombron and brought peace to Elyos, being crowned as the new Divine Dragon Monarch in Lumera's stead.

And so on, everyone lived in peace and harmony under the rulership of Alear: The Divine Dragon.

Rey

“People keep telling me they know me. I’m afraid no one does."

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away on the desert planet of Jakku, a young woman named Rey was a simple scavenger, doing her best to survive on the harsh conditions of the planet. Her fate changed from simply living out her days on Jakku to being intertwined in the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance, the two factions that had rose from the remnants of the Galactic Empire and the Rebellion, reigniting the galactic war for control.

Rey would eventually be captured by one of the leaders of the First Order, Kylo Ren. It was there where Rey awakened her latent powers within the Force: setting the stage for her eventual transformation into one of the great warriors of old: a Jedi.

Seeking out the lost Jedi Master known as Luke Skywalker, who had seemingly all but disappeared, Rey learned from him training in the Force, as well as who Kylo Ren was. However, Rey never found out who she was, where she really came from. It was a mystery full of enigmatic possibilities, but it was soon to be answered...

When somehow, Palpatine returned. The Galactic Emperor, who had been defeated all those years ago, made his mysterious reemergence. Kylo Ren seemed to know of this, and revealed the truth to Rey; she was a direct descendant of Palpatine, explaining her latent talent in the Force. While tempted and goaded on by Palpatine to embrace her Sith heritage, Rey, alongside Kylo Ren, who had turned to the light, worked together to destroy Palpatine once and for all, at the cost of Kylo Ren's life. Rey called upon the spirits of all the Jedi before her, destroying the Sith and bringing balance to the Force for a second time, something that her predecessor Anakin Skywalker did for the first time all those years ago.

Many a hero of the former Rebellion died in their fight as members of the Resistance, including Luke, Leia, Han Solo, and a redeemed Kylo Ren. But their sacrifices were not in vain, as the galaxy knew peace again. And their memory lived on through Rey.She went on to not just be Rey; not Rey Palpatine, but Rey who?

Rey Skywalker, the Last Jedi.

Experience & Skill

Alear

Before her untimely big nap, Alear was an incredibly talented and skilled fighter, considered as being the most capable of Sombron's children. She was able to best Sombron not once, but twice, owing to her incredible skill in battle. After awakening from her 1000 year nap, Alear still possessed the skill she had before, and was able to go toe to toe with Lumera in a sparring match, as well as battle against the Emblems on a pretty even level. Considering how skilled most of the Emblems are in combat, it just goes to show how impressive Alear is. She did overestimate her capabilities as a leader at one point, but learned from her mistakes and improved as a warrior and leader.

Rey

For the most part, Rey's pretty dang skilled in a lot of different fields. She survived for years as a scavenger on a desert planet, is a skilled mechanic given how she was able to make repairs on complex machinery like Starships and construct her own lightsaber. She's also an excellent pilot somehow, and was able to capitalize in her burgeoning talent in the Force emerging. She does have a decent bit of training, and has strong instinctual powers from learning different abilities in the Force, evidenced by how she was able to use a Jedi mind trick after learning it from Kylo Ren's mind and after tapping into the Force, was able to overwhelm a distracted Kylo Ren. Before learning lightsaber dueling, Rey was already a skilled combatant in her own right, given how she was able to fight with her quarterstaff and defend herself with it just fine.

Equipment

Alear

Libération

Alear's personal sword. Given as a gift to Alear by Lumera, she is the only being able to wield it given her status as a Divine Dragon.

Wille Ganz

Alear's second personal Sword, taken after she defeated Lumera as a Corrupted. Like with Libération, it can only be wielded by Alear. It has to capacity to strike at both close and long ranges.

Draconic Time Crystal

A special gemstone that Alear can use to reverse the flow of time. In-game, it's used to undo undesirable actions or revive Alear if she dies, and allows you, the player, to rethink your strategy. Depending on the difficulty, it has either unlimited uses or 10 uses...pick whichever, I suppose. This time re-windment does have a few caveats; its dependent on the crystal, meaning if its stolen, Alear cannot use it, and she can't rewind time past the very moment she acquired/acquires it.

The Emblem Rings

Alear possesses the ability to use all twelve Emblem Rings, as well as the alternative seven Emblem Bracelets that function the exact same. Each Ring contains and houses the spirits of heroes from other worlds. I'll get into what all of these can do in the abilities section, so sit tight for that.

Rey

Quarterstaff

Before Rey became a Jedi and was a simple desert wanderer, she wielded a Quarterstaff as her main weapon. It is exactly as it sounds; a big stick that Rey can smack people with. She can throw it like a javelin if needed, spin it fast enough for it to be a defensive weapon, and use it as leverage or use its length to strike at an extended melee range.

Lightsaber

Like with every Jedi, Rey is armed with a lightsaber. Rey's in particular is yellow in color, and functions effectively like every other lightsaber, being able to cut through most things and deflect most types of attacks.

NN-14 Blaster

When needed, Rey can whip out her blaster and shoot opponents at long range. Given to her as a gift from Han Solo, Rey's blaster is powerful enough to one-shot Stormtroopers and damage lightly armored vehicles, as well as blow through walls.

Abilities

Alear

The Emblems

As mentioned before, Alear can use the powers of pretty much every Emblem, so long as she wears their corresponding Emblem Ring. She can only use one at a time, but can switch them out at a moments notice in case of what she needs. You must think I'm pulling your leg on this, but I'll get to each of them...later. Yeah, sorry.

Personal Skills

Alear possesses a couple of passive personal skills, Divinely Inspiring and Divine Spirit that slightly buff her Emblem synergy as well as help her teammates around her by granting them slight boosts to their strength and defensive capabilities.

Inheritable Emblem Skills

Via a special synchronization method, Alear can inherit all sorts of skills from her Emblem friends. These include a multitude of weapon proficiency boosts, strength boosts, speed boosts, and the like. While Alear can inherit every skill, only a few are relevant to her and her fighting style. The list of the inheritable skills that would apply best to Alear is as follows:

• Avoid +30 (Allows Alear is dodge attacks much easily)
• Sword Agility (Allows Alear to dodge attacks more easily when wielding a sword)
• Hit +30 (Allows Alear to hit attacks more frequently and more easily with increased accuracy)
• Build +5 (Allows Alear to use heavier weapons without tanking her attack speed)
• Strength +6 (Makes Alear's attacks hit harder)
• Sword Power (Makes Alear slightly stronger and slightly easier to get hit)
• Speed +5 (Makes Alear much faster as a whole)
• Defense +5 (Makes Alear take less damage from attacks)
• Resistance +5 (Makes Alear more resistant to magical attacks)
• Dexterity +5 (Increases Alear's likelyhood to land an attack)
• HP +15 (Makes Alear tankier)
• Sword Focus 5 (Makes Alear much more likely to land an attack and slightly easier to get hit)
• Luck +12 (Increases Alear's hit rate and avoidance)
• HP/Lck +10 (Makes Alear tankier and increases her hit rate and avoidance)
• Str/Dex +5 (Makes Alear stronger and more accurate with her attacks)
• Bow Guard 5 (If a foe is equipped with a bow, Alear takes less damage from their attack)
• Str/Def +5 (Makes Alear stronger and take less damage)
• Axe Guard 5 (If a foe is equipped with an axe, Alear takes less damage from their attack)
• Mag/Res +5 (Makes Alear's magical prowess stronger and makes her more resistant to magic)
• Magic Guard 5 (If a foe attacks with magic, Alear takes less damage from their attack)
• Spd/Res +5 (Makes Alear faster and more resistant to magic)
• Lance Guard 5 (If a foe is equipped with a lance, Alear takes less damage from their attack)
• Spd/Dex +5 (Makes Alear faster and more accurate with her attacks)
• Sword Guard 5 (If a foe is equipped with a sword, Alear takes less damage from their attack)
• Mag/Dex +5 (Makes Alear's magical prowess stronger and more accurate with her attacks)
• Knife Guard (If a foe is equipped with a knife, Alear takes less damage from their attack)

Rey

The Force

Ah, yes, the Force, that magical-ish telekinesis-type thing that every Jedi, Sith, and somewhere in-between use. Given her heritage from Palpatine, it's no wonder that Rey demonstrates such a high potential in the Force. Beside the aforementioned telekinesis, which is probably what the Force is most recognized for, Rey has demonstrated the ability to use the Force in several different ways, including but not limited to:

• Force Stasis: It can freeze objects such as a lightsaber mid-duel, freeze weapons in place, and even freeze blaster projectiles in place.
• Force Amplification: Rey can use the Force to amplify either her lightsaber swing speed, improve her balance and jumping capabilities for acrobatics during combat, increase her strength, and overall just amplify her physical body.
• Force Healing: Oh boy, that one power that was pulled out of literally nowhere. In any case, yes, Rey can use the Force to heal the wounds of others, though she can't use it to heal herself, as the power draws directly from her own life force.
• Force Sense: Outside of combat, this power simply enhances Rey's awareness and mental fortuity. In combat, this allows Rey a sort of precognition that allows her to predict the attacks of her foes and defend accordingly.
• Jedi Mind Trick: Oh yes, the good ol' mind trick. Doing this mid-combat...isn't really a thing that Rey could normally do, but outside of battle, it works as intended; manipulating the mind of another to forcibly do what Rey wants them to do.

It should be noted however, the usage of the Force isn't unlimited. If too much exertion is used by the wielder, they could easily overtax themselves and either lose control or injure themselves.

Force Lightning

Despite being a Jedi, Rey can use power from the Dark side, owing to her heritage tracing back to Emperor Palpatine. Force Lightning is exactly as it sounds; Rey can shoot out Force-empowered lightning from her fingertips to great effect, either zapping a foe into submission or death, or zapping something with explosive force. Force lightning isn't really a thing that Rey uses on a normal basis, but she can still use it if she's under great stress and really needs something destructive.

Forms

Alear

Emblem Engage...and all of the Emblems

Finally, we get to Alear and her many, many forms she can take...with her friends, the previously mentioned Emblems. By wearing an Emblem Ring, Alear can "Engage" with the Emblem within, and take on a much more powerful form. When Engaged, Alear can utilize the weapons of the specific Emblem they are Engaged with and gain access to all sorts of different powers. Each Emblem grants three different weapons, a few unique skills, and Engage skills and attacks.

You would not believe this...well, maybe you would. After dying...for a second time, Alear was revived by the 12 Ring Emblems, being resurrected as Emblem Alear: The Fire Emblem.

Rey

Oneness

Rey can, under extreme conditions, enter the state of "Oneness". Described as a state of Union with the Force, Rey utilized this form and called upon the spirits of all of the Jedi. How exactly does this work? Well...Rey probably can't just use this on a whim. After all, she used it once during dire circumstances and promptly died from overexertion. It does seem to basically just be Rey drawing upon the power of all the Jedi of the past, a extreme feat accessed in extreme times. This grants her a massive power boost yes, but the conditions and circumstances of the form are incredibly specific and dangerous.

Scaling

Alear

Sombron

Despite being the big bad of Engage, Alear was able to beat Sombron twice; once when she was still a Fell Dragon, and the second time after becoming an Emblem, while Sombron himself had siphoned the power of the Emblems. At a minimum, Sombron was strong enough to lift Gradlon (An entire country) out of the ocean, and at his highest, threatened to destroy an infinite amount of worlds.

The Emblems

Alear has not only defeated every Emblem, but each Emblem is as strong as their original counterparts. Standouts include:

• Ike defeating Ashera, half of Ashunera, who could flood the world
• Byleth scaling directly to the Progenitor God Sothis, who could also flood the world
• Byleth's sword being able to cut straight through mountains
• Robin, Chrom, and Lucina all defeating Grima, a titanic dragon
• Most of the Emblems have been able to similarly dodge lightning and light magic

Fire Emblem Heroes scaling

This...oh man. I didn't want to talk about this, but I have to. Emblem Veronica comes from Fire Emblem Heroes' world, which has some utterly nutty scaling attached.

Okay, first off, via defeating Veronica, Alear scales above her and should in effect, scale to the deities of Heroes' universe and the Order of Heroes within FEH. There are some baffling things, so sit tight.

• Freyja, ruler of the realm of nightmares, later gains control over the realm of dreams and therefore, all of reality by mixing the two together
• Every character in Heroes can stand in close proximity to Hel with zero adverse effects, who passively kills everything and everyone around her
• The Dream world contains an infinite amount of worlds
• The realm of dreams contains dreams within dreams; each time you wake up from a dream, you simply get transported into another dream, which is considered a higher plane of existence
• Every character can move and function in a world outside of the flow of time...and also ESCAPE from it
• Gullveig, the main inhabitant of the realm outside of the flow of time, can navigate forwards and backwards in time; another character Seiðr's light is considered to function the same way as Gullveig's time, and every character can react to it 
• The world tree Yggdrasil connects the Nine realms and everything in-between, including the aforementioned dream realms, nightmare realm, realm outside the flow of time, you get the point. Every character can react to and function normally when entering Yggdrasil.

So, when you take all of these and scale accordingly, you get complex/infinite multiversal and immeasurable/infinite speed Fire Emblem. Veronica scales to the Order of Heroes, as does the rest of everyone who appears in FEH, which includes Alear. I...cannot believe this, but at the same time, yeah I can. While I do think that the multiversal stats are at the very least somewhat dubious, I can't argue with the infinite/immeasurable speed calculations. Being able to move outside the flow of time and function normally there is too impressive to overlook. Reacting to light that functions the same way (works outside the flow of time) just seals the deal. 

Rey

Kylo Ren

Kylo Ren is probably the best character to compare Rey directly to, as he's her main rival throughout the Sequel trilogy. While not exactly equal for most of the three films, Rey and Ren were probably around the same level of power at the very end. Ren has a few impressive things under his belt, such as reacting to and freezing a blaster bolt at near point blank range, use the Force in extremely destructive ways such as blowing stuff up, and use the Force to shield himself and someone else. His mental fortitude should be noted to be...both better and worse than Rey, since he DID trick Snoke but was unable to probe into Rey's mind.

The Jedi and the Sith

When Rey taps into her Oneness form, she draws on the power of all of the Jedi. She was also able to deflect Palpatine's Force Lightning back on him and kill him, which would mean she's either equivalent to or exceeds Palpatine. Palpatine's Force Lightning was able to obliterate an entire fleet of Starships, a pretty impressive showing. In terms of the Jedi power that Rey calls upon, the some of the more impressive feats of the Force on the light side include Kanan and Ezra moving asteroids, Yoda moving living mountains, Luke being able to make a Star Destroyer shake, and other Jedi like Obi-Wan and Mace Windu being able to react to point blank Force Lightning. Also Yoda being able to reflect Force Lightning, something that Rey mirrored.

Weaknesses

Alear

Alear's first and foremost weakness is pretty funny. Due to the Weapon Triangle, Alear will struggle slightly more against foes wielding lances. That aside, Alear is a dragon which means attacks or abilities that impact dragons strongly will have a severe adverse effect on her. She's also a mostly close-quarters fighter since she uses a sword, though she can use some Engage skills to circumvent that. She's also afraid of zombies...fair enough, lol.

Rey

Despite her incredible potential in the Force, Rey isn't a fully trained Jedi and wasn't during the entirety of the sequel trilogy. She only defeated Kylo Ren in their duels due to very extreme circumstances and was very nearly powerless against Snoke. And even after training for quite a while, Palpatine overcame her with ease until she accessed her Oneness form. Speaking of that, Oneness straight up killed her after she used it. And like with all other Force users, using the Force too much and for an extended amount of time for a difficult purpose tends to end in disaster and exhausts the user.

Before The Verdict

Multi-continent to Moon level Star Wars?

Okay...so, there's been this baseline "Multi-continent level in base" Star Wars stat calculation, which comes from this feat where four Jedi were able to slow debris which was moving fast enough to destroy a moon on impact. I believe the argument comes from how they, well, stopped moon shattering debris. Is this legit? Well...no? Not...not really? When you think about it, it's much, MUCH easier to move things around in space. A simple Force Push should, and would, move the debris. Stopping something moving through space is tremendously easier than stopping something in an atmosphere. If the debris were in the atmosphere when moved and were hurtling towards a planet and the Jedi stopped it...that would be very impressive and this feat would probably be legit. However, it isn't. Besides, Rey wouldn't scale to this in base at all. In her super-powered up form though? Totally.

So, is "Multi-continent level star Wars in base" legit? No, I don't think so. But for the sake of argument, I'll bring it up in the verdict.

Is Fire Emblem Heroes considered Canon?

Yes, it is. The very presence of Veronica in Fire Emblem engage already proves off the bat that Heroes is part of the wider Fire Emblem universe and therefore proves that Heroes is canon. Likewise, Heroes is canon to Engage and the other way around, as Alear and several characters are featured in Heroes. No matter which way you slice it, Fire Emblem Heroes is considered Canon.

Are we SURE that Fire Emblem Heroes is "Multiversal"?

Aaaand, now I have to confirm if Fire Emblem Heroes, and therefore Alear, is in fact, "Multiversal". And, yeah, I'll bite the bullet. Yes. Yes, it is. Heroes basically affirms the idea of an infinite amount of timelines stemming from infinite different endings from every Fire Emblem game, and has characters who can not only create an infinite amount of worlds, but utilize them. Not to mention those dream worlds? Yeah, there's not only an infinite amount of them, but an infinite amount of worlds within those worlds, and- yeah I think you get the point. Oh, and those higher plane of existence dream worlds. There's just, so many different and complex worlds and realms that are interconnected in Fire Emblem Heroes that several characters just, create and interact with on a whim prove that you just, can't deny that at the very least some characters in Heroes are "Multiversal". Then you remember that pretty much every character from the Order of Heroes scales to those characters, and so does every other summon from each Fire Emblem world. As unbelievable as it is, it somehow becomes believable upon closer inspection.

So, is Fire Emblem Heroes Multiversal? Yes, yes it is.

Verdicts

Stats

No matter which way that you decide to look at it, whether straightforward or by squinting and turning your head sideways, Alear takes the stat trinity. With Fire Emblem Heroes scaling, she blows Rey completely and utterly out of the water, so much so it's almost laughable how much Rey gets stomped into the ground. If we decide to disregard Heroes scaling and look directly at scaling according to the main Fire Emblem Engage game, Alear would still have Rey beat out. In terms of strength, Alear was able to harm and defeat both Sombron and the Emblems, who have displayed insane feats from lifting an entire country out of the water in Sombron's case, and scaling to world-flooding entities in the case of Ike and Byleth. Even if we grant Rey the strength calculation from the multi-continent level scaling, it wouldn't matter, as Alear would be too fast for Rey to do anything if she pulled the Oneness form out. While Rey was able to react to Force Lightning and scales equivalently to other Jedi who've done the same such as Mace Windu and Yoda in her Oneness form, Alear can not only dodged lightning spells, but also dodge light spells. Being able to react to light spells traveling at least somewhere in the ballpark of the speed of light puts Alear's speed in a much higher tier than Rey. And in terms of durability, Force User's are threatened by people literally shooting them with guns. Alear can tank meteors, attacks from the Emblems, survived fatal blows for extended periods of time...yeah, Alear has durability in the bag no matter what. And that's all if you completely disregard Heroes scaling, which should be taken into account as canon. Alear takes the stat trinity in an utter blowout.

Arsenal & Abilities

While the Force is an incredible power, Alear has all the right counters to it with her rather extensive catalogue of Emblems. At a distance, Alear has a massive amount of different both magical and physical attacks she could pull from to deal damage at a range, manipulate the terrain using either Corrin or Camilla, heal herself with specific attacks or passively, take hits from Rey and hit back even harder using Ike, survive effectively indefinitely using Hold Out from Roy and healing by doing damage from Micaiah and Hector, force Rey into being unable to counterattack with Veronica, debuff Rey with various status effects and ailments, the list goes on and on and on. Due to the weapon triangle, if Alear were to pair up with a lance wielding Emblem, Rey would be at a disadvantage via her lightsaber counting as a sword. The overall point is, while Rey has a lot of things she can do with the Force, such as telekinesis which could push Alear back, be used to throw things at her, or even pull her closer, Alear has options she can use to circumvent whatever Rey wants to do. Rey's precognitive abilities wouldn't be able to keep up with Alear's speed to begin with, but would also not be able to contend with the extra attacks that several of Alear's emblem grant passively without Alear's mindful intent, meaning Rey likely wouldn't be able to see those coming. And this isn't even mentioning Alear's time crystal, which, if by some way Rey either got the drop on her or Alear made a mistake of some kind, she could easily rectify it. And even if Rey were to somehow mid-combat, mind-probe or mind-trick Alear into telling her some information or manipulate her into dropping her weapon, Alear's current Emblem would not be effected and would fight back, forcing Rey to either get hit or defend herself, breaking Alear out of the mind probe/trick. Alear simply has too many counters and options she could pull from to stand up to and negate whatever Rey has in store with the Force, meaning she takes both Arsenal and Abilities.

Tertiary Factors

There isn't too much to address here, but a setting with a lot of debris that Rey can use the Force to lift and throw offensively or shield herself from some of Alear's attacks would be a great benefit to her. Of course Alear could just, manipulate the terrain to suit her, but whatever happens to it, Rey's force amplification could allow her to adapt to the changing terrain by boosting her running speed, jumping speed, and the like. Speaking of the Force, it would likely catch Alear off guard when used, but Alear would be able to adapt and react to it via her Emblem abilities. In terms of the skill and experience both display, Alear is more capable in combat given her age of over 1000 years and being just as skilled as she was after her really long nap. However, Rey is probably more skilled in general as a whole, having lived practically her whole life as a scavenger on a desert planet. Her skill as a mechanic and pilot also point towards her being smarter, though this isn't really a knock on Alear given her capability in leading an army. Overall, I'd probably give tertiary factors to Rey, but barely.

Alear

"I know what matters is what I do, not how I was born."

Advantages:

• Infinitely more powerful
• Infinitely more fast
• Infinitely more durable
• Slightly more experienced and skilled in combat
• Much, MUCH more versatile
• Has an extreme amount of counters to Force abilities via Emblem skills

Disadvantages:

• Would probably be caught off guard by the Force
• THE Fire Emblem? Really?
• Pepsi son or Colgate daughter
• Fire Emblem Three Houses is a better game

Rey

"And I...Am all the Jedi."

Advantages:

• Slightly smarter
• Slightly more experienced and skilled in general
• Probably could catch Alear off guard the first time with the Force
• Oneness form could potentially also catch Alear off guard

Disadvantages:

• Infinitely more weaker
• Infinitely more slower
• Infinitely less durable
• Oneness form could backfire severely
• The Force would get hard countered by Alear's Emblem abilities
• The Sequel Trilogy
• Rey who? Rey-d Shadow Legends?

I cannot believe that this is a bigger stomp than my last blog. Alear completely obliterates Rey, no matter what type of argument you can concoct for Rey to win. Alear takes the stat trinity no matter what and even if we do disregard Heroes scaling, she still holds a solid advantage over Rey. A large amount of her Emblem abilities are inheritable, which means at her very peak, Alear wouldn't even need to equip certain Emblems to counter whatever Rey can throw at her with the Force.

You might be wondering, would Rey's Oneness form do anything? ...Probably not. Like with Rey's abilities in the Force, it would likely catch Alear off guard...but even though Oneness does give Rey a massive boost, it's still far from being able to even touch Alear at all. If anything, Rey entering her Oneness form would be a detriment, as it severely taxes Rey, and assuming she survives coming off of it, she'd be swept up in clean fashion by Alear.

Put simply, Alear simply is too strong, fast, and durable for Rey to remotely do a lick of damage to, and Rey's abilities in the Force all get severely outmatched and countered by Alear's Emblem abilities. This isn't a one on one fight, it's a jumping by Alear and her Emblem friends.

This is just in, local Jedi jumped and beat up by a tube of toothpaste.

The winner is Alear.

Final Tally

Alear (3) - Ganyula, Nomeerf, Veteran
