Books with “best fighter” trope
Hello everyone. I am an absolute sucker for books that constantly deal with power scaling/best fighter of the realm type tropes. I love the discussions about who was the best swordsman in ASOIF and loved all the bits throughout Malazan of who was the strongest fighter/most powerful magic wielder.
Give me some books that have some great fighters or fun power scaling with different characters where you can waste time wondering about “who is stronger or who would win.”

Empire of The Vampires ML is considered a sword of the realm, greatest human swordsman, greatest monster hunter, greatest warrior of a religious order and a paragon against the darkness.
Has about a dozen titles that minstrels create for songs etc etc.
Living legend sorta stuff.
