BeastMan14's "Snow..." Edges

Strength: Baldur. While Hela and Baldur have pulled off some impressive feats, what puts Baldur over the top is how he utilizes his strength. Throughout God of War, he's shown to be an excellent brawler up-close, and he'll utilize this skill to catch Hela, whose fighting style is more based around grappling, off-guard.

Durability: Hela. Baldur's durability is impressive, but throughout God of War, he's shown capable of being stopped by effectively fatal wounds, be it his fall of the dragon or Kratos snapping his neck at the start of the game. Over the course of Ragnarok, literally nothing ever came close to even hurting Hela. Even Thor hitting her with a massive bolt of lightning merely annoyed her and forced Thor to summon Surtur. This is ultimately a comparison of Baldur's more adaptive durability vs Hela's overwhelming force, and Hela wins out here.

Speed: Baldur. As you said in the bio, Hela's more agile than she is fast, and Baldur was shown to consistently move at the blink of an eye, giving him an edge here.

Powers: Hela. Hela's weapon creation is not only much more versatile than Baldur's light or elemental powers, it also poses a much greater chance of hurting or slowing him down. While Baldur is effectively invincible, bladed weapons like Kratos's axe could hurt him, or at the very least give him pause.

X-Factors: Hela. Hela takes this decidedly because she's a more experienced, brutal combatant with plenty of skills of her own, even if Baldur is a superior fighter up-close.

Deadliest Warrior: Hela. While Baldur is a more nuanced, interesting villian, Hela is simply out of his league. She can match him in strength, she can tank a lot more damaging attacks, and she's got a wider variety of weapons to hit him with. Outside of up-close combat, I just don't think he can compete with her at most ranges. It'll be a brutal fight, but Odin's forgotten daughter will prevail here. Score: 540-460
