Achilles vs. GOT: Reverse Gauntlet

The Game of Thrones universe wants to take over ancient Greece, but in order to avoid massive bloodshed they decided to have their champions represent them in a duel. Ancient Greece sends Achilles. Which champion should the GOT universe send to fight him?

For the sake of fairness, all weapons are made indestructible for this match. No one is in armor, fighters are only in loincloths. Achilles is armed with his spear and shield and has his short sword as a sidearm.

Round 1: Which GOT fighter has the best chance at defeating Achilles? Fighter needs to be human (no giants, dragons or white walkers and stuff). GOT fighter is allowed any weapon/s as long as they can hold it in their 2 hands and is also allowed 1 carry-on side arm. Melee weapons only. No projectiles or poison or magical weapons. If you think Achilles can beat any single GOT champion then proceed to Round 2.

Round 2: Same stipulations as round 1 except you are allowed to name 2 GOT fighters to take on Achilles at the same time.

Round 3: Same stips as round 2 except now you have 3 GOT fighters.

Round 4: 4 GOT fighters

Oberyn probably has the best shot at taking out Achilles but I believe that Achilles strength would overtake Oberyn in the ned; it'd go alot like the fight with Hector tbh

Add the Mountain to this and I think them two could take Achilles out.

Really depends on if Brad Pitt is an Exec Producer or not lol

My name is Frothbyte, I can't come up with my own ideas, so I will try and copy someone else and try and add some variations in order to stroke my own ego.

I haven't seen Troy for like 10 years, but iirc Achilles was pretty ridiculous, and barring maybe the Mountain, almost everyone in GoT more or less seems to operate within human levels.

Achilles should be able to beat 3 or 4 of the main characters at once without a ton of trouble.

The Hound was as strong as the Mountain (matching him blow for blow, cutting men in full plate armor in half etc.) and faster to boot. He could do it.

Spite thread Achilles shit stomps

You think it would be enough to overcome Achilles' speed and agility?

Its like you didnt watch Troy snd his first fight.

No, but he does have actual armor. It won't be easy for Achilles to punch through plate.

I'm thinking Achilles could clear and claim Westeros as his land if he wanted to do as much. The fact that everyone is in loincloths gives him a big advantage, as he fights in light armor and a skirt and the big boys from GoT like Sandor and Gregor are in armor plate in their fights.

Unless some kind of team-up between Oberyn and/or Jaqen and some of the heavier hitters can throw Achilles off balance to get some good hacks in, Achilles should win this gauntlet.

Froth, where are they fighting? The more enclosed the space, the better chances for the GoT crew. The more open with platforms/ledges for Achilles to use his mobility, his chances go up.

People also under estimate how strong he is and how much endurance he has.

He ran up hill, on sand, engaging countless Trojans on the way, blocking all incoming arrows and attacks.

He also threw a spear farther then anyone at that time with deadly force. Which takes incredbile strength.

He not only has the strength to penetrate armor, but the speed never to even get hit.

Yep, one thing Troy did extremely well was showing just how much Achilles could go super soldier mode.

The problem with this matchup is that the GoT characters that have the reputation of being the heaviest hitters

Spoiler:
get one good fight in then get maimed or die (Jamie, Khal Drogo, and Oberyn), with the exception of people like Jon Snow, Hound, and Brienne of Tarth.

Just plain, open arena.

None of the combatants here have armor. As I stated in the OP, they're only in loincloths.

Game, set, match for Achilles. If he can keep maneuvering around his opponent(s), it's just a matter of time before he/she/they all get the Hector treatment.

Well, that's dumb. Every Westerosi knight is trained to fight with armor. They're not trained to fight like circus acrobats.

Knights don't lose their fighting skill just because they're out of armor. A lot of the GOT fighters have fight scenes without armor on like Jamie and Jon for example.

Historically, knightly duels were done without armor.

Dumb is what he does. And he does it well.

Yes, but they're specifically trained to fight with armor on. Taking it away gimps them hard.
