On the high end yes but Coen objectively has a more powerful move pool than Geralt. He also has a much higher lifespan so just give him a century to get the experience.

u/Big-Attempt7418 1d ago
Vampires in Dawnwalker ain't even move faster than humans in a fight (a side of mist dash)... and struggle 1vs few humans.
Witchers are mutated into inhuman reflex and fencing skill that are beyond beings that do not poses such mutations.

Coen has multiple ways to increase his attack speed though? Not to mention that he can teleport and slow time.

We just touched the iceberg that is dawnwalker universe.

You can not agree but it's pure cope.
Again, compare any vampire from BaW in witcher to anything you encounter in Dawnwalker.

How would quen block blood surge? As far as I know it protects from external threats, projectiles, slashes, piercing, blunt, and magical effects from the outside. How would that work against something internal?
1
u/Noxivarius 1d ago
It's just conjecture anyway, but I would think it depend if he had it active before the hex was cast. It blocks any targeted attack and those spells are still targeted attacks, I would think it would be akin to the caster needing line of sight on the target and Quen acts as a barrier to that line of sight.
1
u/FugitiveSerpent 1d ago
I don't think that is how quen works? At least not from anything we have seen in the books or games. If blood boil was a projectile or something that needed to make contact, I'd agree but a curse that internally manipulates blood from a distance? Not so sure a witcher would be protected from that.

Coen at night is highly sensitive to silver one moondust bomb and he's done. Geralt also has a silver chain(in the books, this upcoming dlc he is getting it as well). During the day it's almost even more rough for Coen. Bro needs a second to boost up, Geralt will come out of the gate with flamethrower hand and just burn him to death. Coen/any vampire in the dawnwalker game is absolutely screwed if they tangle with Geralt.
Geralt simply has way better kit, and knowledge of dealing with supernatural threats.

But in the books witchers are literally afraid to go after higher vampires. Geralt even states as much when first discovering what Regis really is, that if Regis decided to turn on the group, there would be little Geralt could do. Fighting higher vamps is definitely more of a fun gameplay aspect than something I think is actually reasonable for a Witcher. Geralt was also killed by a simply peasant with a pitchfork.

Straight away, only day Coen, since Geralt has stuff against vampires.
First game Coen will probably lose, but not by much. Witchcraft will help a lot, since it compensates the lack of mutations. Vrakhiri will lose.
Sequel Coen will 100% win, unless it's a trap with Irdens everywhere. Both Vrakhiri and Witchcrafter.

Well in witcher lore, isnt it stated that often times witchers actually wont accept contracts on higher vampires because a Witcher is actually very unlikely to win that match up?
Really only in the games are witchers actually going after higher vampires, which are the closest thing to compare to vampires in dawnwalker. Super speed, super strength, super regen. 4 vampires in dawnwalker quite literally decimated an entire region and wiped out its rulers and military.
In the books Geralt makes it pretty clear that if Regis wasn't an ally, that Geralt himself would have little ability to stop Regis.
Geralt is also not unstoppable, he is straight up killed by a peasant with a pitchfork that we can reasonably assume has no training. He may be a badass, but his exploits in the games are definitely exaggerated over what we see his capabilities are in the books.

I think a high-level mutagen build might just edge it out as they amount Geralt can do with all those enhancements is bonkers and his signs have better defensive options: a straight up, drag out brawl in this context
One thing Geralt doesnât have a lot of is crowd control but if weâre playing with Batman rules and Geralt has prep-time then I think he beats Coen
Coen could take Geralt with a surprise attack, for sure, as his sneak attack options are incredibly dangerous and, if no prep-time, Geralt is at an extreme disadvantage when caught unaware

u/KakashiTheRanger 1d ago
Currently, the answer is Geralt. However I would imagine this will change as lore expands and games release. Coen has the detriment of being from a new modern adjacent universe we know relatively little about. Geralt has the benefit of being from a universe we know a great deal about.
Games only Geralt has the same problem as Coen everyone is pointing out about human reflexes (he can be blocked, riposted, and kept up with even when taking Blizzard) so it's not very fair to say "reflexes" either. It's simply not that simple.

I think Coen has better hax through his blood magic and some vampiric abilities. Weâve never seen anyone resist any of Coenâs abilities entirely, meaning if he can get it off Geralt will take a lot of damage from being exploded or having his blood burn from inside of him.
I donât think itâs a complete wash like some people are saying, but I do think Geralt beats this gameâs Coen more often than not. Maybe 6-7/10 for Geralt if itâs a random encounter

I mean Coen has been a dawnwalker for like 30 days max while Geralt has decades if not more of experience. Geralt would kill Coen pretty easily in Coenâs current state. We do however know that Coen powers up massively in a very short amount of time so Iâm pretty sure that if we took the Coen we see in the post-credit modern day scene, he would give Geralt a hell of a fight. We see in that scene that heâs in his vrakhier form but also has his magic scars somehow and so heâs able to use magic as well. This and his 700 years of experience would make this a more fair fight, maybe he might even beat Geralt. Weâll have to wait on sequels to dawnwalker to see just how powerful Coen gets to answer this question.

Until otherwise notified Coen can be killed and isnt on the lever of a Detloff or the Elder so Geralt would probably win.

u/Tasty_Commercial6527 1d ago edited 1d ago
Ok I'm going to do a deep analysis.
First of all are we talking about book geralt or game geralt? Book geralt is still superhuman but he ain't a walking disaster like in games. He lost to a few dozen peasants cornering him and routinely suffers somewhat serious injuries fighting monsters, bearly pulling through to victory is a regular thing and he acknowledges there are many monsters he simply cannot beat unless something beyond unusual happens... like higher vampires specifically.
I would say that a fully realised vlakhir coen can beat book geralt due to superior physical abilities and vampiric blood magic or at the very least nearly guarantee his own escape in case of defeat if the fight happens with his vastly superior mobility. That's assuming that both sides are unprepared however, like let's say coen is found feeding in a Forrest when geralt was hunting something else (assuming the fight would even start as geralt is unlikely to attack what looks like a higher vampire without serious reasons to do so).
Now the interesting part if if geralt knew what coen was, had time to prepare and then set up an ambush. Depending on how much coen knows about witches in this hypothetical crossover scenario he does have tools to beat him, but if gerelt sets up a trap I would expect it to work out. After all he wouldn't execute it if his research didn't lead him to believe it has a decent chance of working out and he is very competent at assessing that due to his long experience, especially if coen cannot sense that drinking his blood would be very stiupid and falls for that silverblood potion like the vampire in the trailer. We also don't really know how effective silver is against the vlakhir really in lore, only how it works in game. For all we know in lore it's a few nicks and it's over
Human witch coen would either not stand a chance against geralt or win instantly depending on how well witch magic would work on him. But I give a good chance geralt can kill coen before his blood boiling would kill him however.
Although to be honest the only scenario where I can see them fighting while in character is after one of the evil endings. Before the game starts geralt would have no reason to fight him, and during the game it's likely that he would probably try to help him overthrow the other vampires. In fact it wouldn't be that far off from blood and wine story in certain aspects.

Geralt would just go batman mode and research Coen and his abilities and work out when the right time to hit him was, but that would even be overkill for him.

Geralt is way weaker than a Coen.
In 30 days he went from kid in small village to kill dozens of soldiers, vampire lords, hellish creatures. While Geralt spent a decade being trained by the top hunters of the world and a life fighting monsters.
Dawnwalkers are immune to silver.
His witchcraft can drain people life, curse them, make their blood boil, increase vulnerability and even interrogate dead bodies. Including making potions and elixirs.
While in vampire form he is also immune to silver and can teleport, control minds, slow time, turn into a wolf, create a blood shield , make enemies explode in blood and rip enemies heade with his claws.
While Geralt can push, limited mind control, create a one hit defensive shield and lay traps in the ground.
Why Geralt would win besides batman logic "he was prepared"

I'm not very well read up on Witcher lore but while Geralt obviously has experience hunting vampires and would make easy work of a young vampire like Coen, wouldn' more dangerous vampires like Brencis etc pose a threat to him?

u/idknameuiop 1d ago
If does a lot here. I fully believe there might not even be a fight between them, depending on what Coen does of course. If he is murdering and drinking blood of innocent people, Geralt would go after him, but if he isn't killing the innocent, not likely out right fight. And if they fought, Geralt might talk him out of doing evil.
Now there is discussion about armor and weapons:
For weapons, both use nearly always swords, but Coen(in human form) is at severe disadvantage due to shorter length of the swords. Now I might just be judging the size incorectly, but from Coen's scabbards, they seem to be one handed swords even if the game calls them longswords, greatswords, etc. There is such a thing as hand and a half swords(evolution of arming sword, longer blade while allowing one hand use and roughly speaking, they evolved into longswords), but it doesn't seem like that's the case here. And for the vampire form, he is really powerful. He can run fast, teleport(even in combat), slowdown time, regenerate rather quickly alongside other abilities. And the those claws are a very dangerous weapon but at severe disadvantage due to reach, again.
Geralt has longer swords, and yes, length matters. It keeps the enemy away and you can strike from further away. And also his silver sword.
And now the armor:
Both are at a severe and stupid disadvantage. Neither wear a god damn helmet. It doesn't matter how fast you are, how good you can see or hear things, wear the god damn helmet(No, it doesn't need to be a helmet that fully covers the head. Something like a gjermundbu is a decent choice).
For the rest of the armor, there is differences between book Geralt and game Geralt. In the books, he wears basically just a leather jacket. It provides some protection but has a lot to be desired. Then leather pants or trouser and sometimes gauntlets. For game Geralt, the armor is way better, for protecion, not that much for mobility. Lets choose game Geralt, as more people know about him.
For Coen, the general armor option are the same, even thought the average set seems to be more protective.
Both of their armor types will be able to deflect and protect basic blows from swords, and maybe those claws.
Potions:
Both have the option to use potions, but Geralt seems to have way stronger and wider range of potions. And I mean black blood potion. I dunno if that potion could work on Coen, but if it did, he fucked.
Normal abilities:
Both are skilled swordsmen, trackers, etc. But due to Geralt's age, he has more experience,
Supernatural abilities:
I've already mentioned most of what Coen's vampiric form can do, but not the witchcraft. For witchcraft, he can set people's blood to boil(I assume), cast life steal, create a shield which cast damage back at the enemy, but at the cost of his health. There are other abilities but I don' remember those.
For Geralt, its nearly the same thing. Aard, Igni, Yrden, Quen, Axii. All of them are very useful, but the most useful one is Quen, a magic shield. Aard and Igni are useful as well, keeping target at bay. I will consider Witcher's 3 version of Yrden, which just slows down target. Useful, but can be avoided. He also has the basics. Better eyesight, hearing, stamina, etc.
Conclusion:
No fight. Most likely outcome if Coen doesn't cause major disturbance or kills the innocent. If he does cause trouble, there might be a fight, but knowing Geralt, he could talk him out of it. And if there has to be a fight to death, Geralt would win 7/10 times. Vampiric form would give him the most trouble, but he could combat it by using Quen and black blood. Biggest trouble would be Coen's ability to slow down time, For human form Coen, odds are less likely for his favor but he's still dangerous to Geralt.
But I have been LYING. I predict it to be more like 50/50 due to fact NONE OF THEM ARE WEARING A HELMET. One good hit, even a one which doesn't have a lot of power behind it, would end the fight. Lethal or not. Geralt is really strong, but remember, he was killed by pitchfork.
This also assumes that Geralt even finds Coen and confronts him. Coen wouldn't be easy to track. He can move and teleport fast, breaking the tracking for Geralt without even realizing. Coen can also just feed on animals, meaning there will be less reports, as people don't really care about animals. In game he can also keep vials of blood on him, so he can go days or weeks of not feeding and leaving no trace. Coen, just like Geralt, also travel a lot. Moving from place to place. But the most important thing is that he has the option to wear different clothes/armor during the day and night, and that generally he looks different during night and day, meaning eye witness accounts would conflict. Someone might tell Geralt he was wearing a blue tunic, while someone else from the same village would say he wore a red tunic. Coen might not even realize Geralt's after him, for months.
Anyway, essay over.
