So, I'm just wondering if Skarbrand with his new awesome rules can beat the Nightbringer 1v1? Looks like Skrabrand is now the strongest melee fighter in the game

Its surprisingly close, Skarbrand is super scary but the Nightbringers wound phase cap ability is hard to beat in melee alone.

In just Melee it would take skarbrad 4 rounds to kill the nightbringer as he can only do a max of 3 per round and the nightbringer has 9 wounds and gains one back each round.

In return the nightbringers damage output is pretty random but with the extra attack from skarbrand he'll likely do around 7 a turn but could easily spike up or down.

I'd say the nightbringer is still a little on top.

That said you can make a generic bloodthirster that will just murder him in a round without blinking, likely kill two or three nightbringers at once :-D

Yeah if skarbrand hasn't got way to get past max 3 per phase...Sorry but how much he overkills phase limit isn't much of relevance.

Now if we are talking about comparing vs targets who don't have artificial cap per phase limit...
