meh, never found balder all that impressive tbh, but i could be forgetting some showings. doubt he'd be the best swordsman logan has seen (least by feats), he has no great healing..... not sure what balder brings that logan hasn't seen and beaten before.
Balder's physical attributes are above Logan, he has the skill needed to hit Logan and avoid being hit himself, and at his best, can project blazing hot light from his body. Yes, Wolverine can heal, but Balder can beat him up enough to constitute a forum win.
He'd beat adamantium Wolverine and he'd definitely beat Wolverine w/o it.

yeah, i think i'll have to reconsider. for whatever reason i just assumed this thread was h2h, or rather balder w/o energy. with it, he should win more often than not at least. if he goes just with the sword though, i still think logan takes him out.
Being a Class 50 in of itself isn't enough to beat down Wolverine, but coupled with everything else Balder brings to the table, it's enough to beat him here.
Balder at his best cannot be harmed by anything except mistletoe (excluding maybe high-end magical or cosmic powers etc). The attacks against him simply miss. It would be impossible for Wolverine to land even a single hit against Balder.
Balder no longer has the mistletoe toe protection and his durability won't turn wolverine's claws, Adamantium or otherwise. Balder lacks the speed or skill to engage Wolverine in martial combat and hold his own, and his energy blasts aren't any where near powerful enough to give Logan pause... Unless Wolverine was retconed into a frost troll recently without my knowledge.
Balder has NO feats that support the notion that he has a shot in hell against Wolverine, and anyone who can ignore that fact and still give him the win merely because he happens to be Asgardian has no credibility.

Balder has more strength, more speed, more stamina, more durability and plenty of skill.
This is a guy with at least 10x the strength of Wolverine, has bullet-timed with ease, even when fat fought non-stop for hours through thousands of fire demons, has run around training without sleeping or resting for an entire month, survived getting blitzed by Sentry, fought evenly with Ares, and has stalemated magically induced perfect swordsmanship. This is all on-panel.
Seriously, Balder stomps on boneclaw Wolverine something fierce. And it's arguable that he wouldn't have any qualms about simply decapitating him.
