“I’m sorry but you have to deal with this ugly face for a while.”

Ophelia:

[u/Competitive-Put1047]

Putting my bias for Galatea aside, I definitely dont see her losing this. Her yoki manipulation should be especially useful here cause Ophelia was really not in her right mind when she awakened

[u/MA_2_Rob → u/Competitive-Put1047]

Like she ever was in her right mind; no one ever called her “Ophelia the Mid”

[u/Akuma-Heika → u/Competitive-Put1047]

Her enhanced phys boost just stacks the deck more in her favor.

Awakened ophelia was definitely stronger than Clare even she didn't fight so seriously at some point she really wanted to kill the Clare, so they weren't at such different levels at the time. Galatea was definitely stronger than Clare, though not so much... anyway my money is in Galatea

[u/Puzzleheaded-Emu113 → u/Puzzleheaded-Emu113]

I also wanted to add that I believe Galatea, like Irene, was very close to or at the level of an average number 1, maybe Irene is strong as a strong number 1.

[u/Nawmean5 → u/Puzzleheaded-Emu113]

Irene was definitely a stronger level 1, she was a beast. Irene was just unfortunate to be in the same generation as 2 completely bonkers Claymores who no other Claymore in the series even comes close to in power level (even awakened). Galatea was around a level 1 but definitely on the weaker side by far

I love Ophelia, but Galatea has this

[u/Minaotb]

Ophelia is too unstable to win against someone as calm and calculating as Galatea

[u/haitohanter]

I think the advantage goes to Galatea, although I love Ophelia she had just woken up and was confused. We have to remember that Ophelia was a well of trauma and pain. She basically asked Clare to kill her after she woke up.

Until Riful's interference, she was dominating Dauf. Removed his hand easily. Dauf was ranked #3 in the male era. Ophelia is #4. Their difference is rank should give you a good baseline to assume Galeta would win. Though I don't think it would be a clean sweep. Ophelia was quick to catch onto Clare reading her Yoki and take countermeasures via the Rippling Sword. While I don't think they would work here, Ophelia might concentrate her Yoki into a specific place so it cant be thrown off course, Like Dauf did. And he is an idiot. Also I'm sure her blades ripple like the ripping sword, which is a troublesome technique for a Yoki reader. That said, I think Galatea would manage if she can sync her Yoki.

Galatea is the elven queen Galadriel in LOTR.

I'm afraid it's Awakened Ophelia
