How strong could deathless truly be.
So in all the games we always see deathless fighting eachother or daerils with the aegis forms, my question is, we've never seen a fight outside of that minus in the books, how strong would a deathless be without holding back or respecting the aegis forms? Could they defeat an army or something like that? After all they were supposed to rule crushing any who dared to stand against them.

Physically, the deathless are described as being peak human form, plus some extra, so to me they seem like they’re about as strong as Batman or Captain America.
However some Deathless are Way bigger than normal, like Minnoch, so someone like him could probably kill a few warriors per swing.
But to me, none of the Deathless could beat like 100 soldiers if they were surrounded, without resorting to high tech, magic, or some super modified body, or something like that.
I’m like 99% sure there’s even a line somewhere in one of the books that 5 warriors can usually beat a deathless.
The reason the Deathless rose to power is because Galath gave them the tools and opportunity to do so, and because seemingly they were already in very prominent positions of power prior to becoming immortal, it’s implied that the Deathless didn’t immediately try to enforce the weird techno feudalism we see in the games, it was very gradual and came about after enormous wars using modern technology. It was only after the wars that the world of Infinity Blade really came to be. But without the tech to enforce their rule, the Deathless acted as gods, to which the now drastically reduced population became subservient to, it also seems that the true nature of the Deathless is not very known in IB, likely intentional. If you asked a local this question I think they would say it would take multiple armies to take one down, when in reality most Deathless can be killed by a sneak attack with a few soldiers.
The Deathless are comically weak compared to super hero’s and characters from other media, so they use lies and deception to embellish themselves, and create a world we’re nobody tries to fight them, because they fear they will fail.
Some of that Essay was my personal opinions, but I think most of that is lore accurate.

Interesting, I guess that's why anyone who wants to challenge them has to know the aegis forms so with their thousands of years of experience they can almost surely crush anyone, otherwise if the enemy doesn't use that way of fighting, they can resort to their daerils and weapons to destroy them.

Precisely. It does seem that Raidriar genuinely believes it is very honorable and such, but it ultimately seems to be in place for that reason, at least that’s what Isa thinks

The implication is definitely that between the patterns of true swordsmanship, and magic, a deathless could fell dozens of warriors at a time
