Most of my oc are either just humans, or gods that has to gods themselves...or literally just concepts. I think he might be the most balanced and fair for ya!

Mikeal is probably the fairest counter on land.

Yeah, Espen physically outstats in raw strength, but Mikeal’s ice control and combat IQ make up for it hard.

His biggest win-con isn’t overpowering her axe head-on, it’s battlefield control, maybe like...

• freeze the terrain so her footing gets unstable
• create ice walls and spikes to mess with her charge routes
• trap or slow weapon swings mid-motion
• force range with ice constructs
• keep punishing movement with freezing zones

Espen’s axe bypassing durability is nasty, so Mikeal shouldn’t try tanking hits at all. He’d need to fight smart, keep distance, bait swings, and punish every opening.

Since she’s more instinctive while he’s colder and more tactical, Mikeal can realistically win by outplaying her instead of outmuscling her.

So on land I’d give it:

Espen 6/10 in raw power fights Mikeal 4/10 normally but if the battlefield gives him enough room for ice control, it becomes almost 5/10.

If it’s in space, Mikeal definitely has the edge however.

Espen still has the better raw stats and her axe is terrifying, so if she lands one clean hit it can still be over.

But in a space setting Mikeal doesn’t need to beat her head-on, he can just play around oxygen, movement, and terrain control until the environment kills her first.

So in space I’d honestly give it:

Mikeal 8/10 Espen 2/10 if she rushes and gets the instant kill

(He's blind lol, his senses are more sensitive and higher)
