10 King Hrolf Kraki

The Berserker King Who Wields a Sword With Unimaginable Power

Strongest Characters in God of War Ragnarok

Originally a common soldier in Midgard, Mimir, now a trusted advisor to Odin, advocated for Hrolf Kraki’s abilities. This endorsement led to Hrolf being admitted into King Aldis’ court. With his own strength and the support of his twelve Berserkers, Hrolf ultimately assassinated King Aldis and seized power. Even in death, Hrolf retains control over his Berserkers through their bound souls, driven by limitless fury and violence.

King Hrolf Kraki ascends to power through the enchanted sword of Skofnung, a weapon that allows him to sow destruction throughout the lands and reveal his treacherous intentions with each strike. Yet, Hrolf is not divine or an exemplary ruler; instead, it’s his relentless savagery that gives him strength.

9 Atreus

The Trickster God and the Last Giant

Born to a Greek deity and a Jotun giant, Atreus naturally inherits a remarkable lineage that endows him with great physical prowess. In accordance with God of War: Ragnarok’s narrative, the power of gods is not derived from their muscular physiques but rather from their divine nature. While Atreus already shows signs of his father’s strength, he consistently leaves the cast of characters in awe by demonstrating his unique abilities in God of War: Ragnarok.

Besides being exceptionally skilled in archery, Atreus also possesses divine abilities that enable him to transform into various animal forms. In the game God of War: Ragnarok, players witness and engage with Atreus fighting as both a wolf and a bear. However, these powers are unpredictable, making Atreus both formidable and susceptible to harm.

8 Heimdall

The God of Foresight Who Can Predict Everything Before it Happens

As the guardian of Gjallarhorn and deity of Foresight, Vigilance, Structure, and Prophecy, Heimdall carries a heavy load. With the ability to perceive and foretell all events, as well as read the minds of those around him, he often becomes weary and may display rude behavior due to centuries of witnessing others’ thoughts and emotions.

This ability significantly boosts Heimdall’s capacity for spreading rumors, granting him a substantial strategic edge in combat. No one has managed to strike Himdall yet, as he can foresee blows before they occur, making him a formidable adversary on Atreus and Kratos’ quest through the nine realms.

7 Garm

A Monstrous Wolf in Helheim That Can Tear the Nine Realms With Soulless Rage

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but be in awe of the fearsome creature known as Garm, the Wolf of Hel. His ominous title isn’t just empty rhetoric; it reflects his immense power and terror. This colossal, monstrous wolf is confined in Helheim, but should his chains ever break, he would wield his razor-sharp claws to rend reality itself, unleashing the legions of Hel upon the nine realms. Stripped of a soul, Garm is pure malice, relentless and invincible.

The wild guardian of Hel views all, including Atreus who liberated the puppy, as foes. The massive and fierce Garm derives his immense strength from his savage character and colossal size, and his temperament is bent on devastating the nine realms. Despite Kratos’ fatal encounter, Garm returns more enraged than ever.

6 Odin

The All-Father, King of the Gods Who Seeks Purpose and Knowledge

It’s hardly unexpected that the All-Father, ruler of the Aesir gods in God of War: Ragnarok, is a formidable character. Equipped with unparalleled wisdom and his spear, Gungnir, Odin also boasts impressive magical abilities, honed during his time with his ex-wife Freya. More than anything, Odin wields immense power and an insatiable hunger for survival.

For a long time, perhaps even hundreds of years, Odin has been meticulously readying himself for Ragnarok. Consequently, Odin possesses immense power and won’t hesitate to take direct action when necessary. His power is nearly boundless, and his ambition to amass power across the nine realms surpasses what many believe possible.

5 Freya

The Valkyrie Queen With Boundless Wrath and Grief

In the realm of God of War: Ragnarok, I, the Vanir goddess, embark on my adventure initially as a foe to Kratos and Atreus. My heart is filled with vengeance for the loss of my son, which twists into an all-consuming desire to exact retribution upon Kratos. Yet, as the story unfolds, I realize that it’s not just Kratos who must pay but my former husband, Odin, whose actions have led us to this destructive path.

Freya showcases remarkable power and battle skills, given her past as the ex-Queen of the Valkyries – renowned warriors in Norse mythology. Her expertise with swords and bows is unparalleled, and she possesses deep understanding and innate affinity for nature and magic. Moreover, she harbors a strong desire for retribution.

4 Thor

The God of Thunder Who Committed Genocide Against Giants

Before the unfolding of God of War: Ragnarok, I, the God of Thunder, have walked many paths. My father’s respect, my half-brother, and my two sons, all taken from me, not by fate but by Kratos and Atreus. This loss fuels my anger and resentment towards the Ghost of Sparta, a man I believe owes me a debt in blood. In my eyes, I am a destroyer, and it’s at the height of my rage that I wish to engage Kratos in battle.

In the realm of gaming, I’ve found myself squaring off against the almighty Thor, a god whose might is beyond measure. He single-handedly decimated the giants in Jotunheim and left an indelible mark on the nine realms with Mjolnir, his thunderous hammer. Our encounters have been legendary, and twice I’ve faced him in battle. The God of Thunder is a boastful warrior, radiating unstoppable power.

3 Tyr

The Norse God of War Who Seeks Spiritual Enlightenment, But is Still a Deadly Warrior

Though often recognized as the God of War among the Aesir, Tyr was fundamentally a proponent of peace. He traversed various realms, including those in the Norse lands and beyond them, to negotiate peace agreements and seek spiritual wisdom. This quest for enlightenment allowed him to acquire weapons from different Pantheons, enhancing his spiritual growth as well as his martial skills.

Free from his imprisonment, Tyr can now carry on his mission for peace. Though he may no longer engage in physical combat, it is the potential uprising he could spark and the unyielding warrior spirit within him – marked by resilience and a tranquil mind – that leaves Odin in awe. Indeed, such a formidable figure as Tyr would be an honor to spar with, even for a fierce warrior like Kratos.

2 Kratos

The Aged Greek God of War Who Has Toppled Pantheons

In the realm of Greek mythology, deities augment their power as they mature, and it’s crucial to note that Kratos, compared to his time in Ancient Greece, is remarkably aged. As Kratos has grown older, not only has his physical strength escalated but also his composure and self-restraint have significantly improved. This evolution makes Kratos a formidable opponent, as the slightest loss of control could unleash the Ghost of Sparta upon those unfortunate enough to be in close proximity.

Kratos has a long history of violence, particularly against deities, though he may yearn for a peaceful existence. However, when it comes to protecting himself and those he cherishes, he stands firm without fear. His abilities are such that he can effortlessly confront giants, gods, and massive edifices, a testament to the multitude of lives he has ended over centuries.

1 Ragnarok

The Cosmic Being of Destruction Fated to Destroy Asgard

Although Kratos can exhibit some incredible feats of strength and has a history of killing what some might assume are unkillable and unstoppable gods, he is no match for Ragnarok itself. Ragnarok is the culmination of Surtr, his wife’s heart, and the fire from the Blades of Chaos. Surtr became Ragnarok to ensure that his wife survives, as to form Ragnarok the two must combine.

In terms of sheer cosmic power, Surtr, also known as Ragnarok, yearns for nothing more than the annihilation of Asgard. With Surtr gone, the essence and consciousness behind Ragnarok now focuses solely on this destructive goal against the realm of the Aesir. Even a mighty warrior like Kratos stands no chance in such a battle.
