The Ultimate Clash: Thor with Stormbreaker and Mjolnir vs. Hela

In the intense and thrilling finale of the Ragnar?k, the mighty Thor stands tall with his legendary weapons, Stormbreaker and Mjolnir. However, he faces an immense opponent in Hela. Would a fit Endgame Thor, wielding these powerful artifacts, be able to defeat the ancient queen of the underworld?

Many argue that Mjolnir, despite its immense power, is not sufficient to defeat Hela. The key reason lies in Hela's overwhelmingly greater age and extensive experience in warfare. Hela, the almost eternal adversary of the God of Thunder, is not just powerful; she is wise and battle-hardened, having faced numerous conflicts stretching back thousands of years. This vast difference in age and experience gives Hela a significant edge in this clash.

Hela's Age and Experience

While Thor is approximately 1,500 years old, Hela's age can be vastly more, ranging from 2,500 to 3,500 years. Knowledge and experience in warfare accumulated over such a long period cannot be underestimated. Hela possesses a variety of powerful weapons, including her Necroswords, which can even pierce through even the Uru metal that Stormbreaker is made from. This alone makes it difficult for even the strongest warrior to stand against her.

The Power and Limitations of Stormbreaker

Stormbreaker, forged by forged by the mighty Bifr?st, is indeed a weapon designed to kill gods. It overpowered a beam from the completed Infinity Gauntlet, showcasing its immense capabilities. However, even with Stormbreaker, Thor may not be able to defeat Hela.

In the film Avengers: Infinity War, despite his peak condition, Thor was unable to defeat Thanos, who at that time was a formidable opponent. Throwing a blew attack at his head with perfect accuracy was necessary to secure victory, making it evident that even the most powerful warriors need to be in top form and precise. Stormbreaker, while powerful, is not invincible and faces limitations in power and durability.

Immortality and Power Dynamics

A significant aspect to consider is Hela's immortality and the impact of Asgard's existence on her power. As long as Asgard is intact, Hela's power grows, making it nearly impossible to defeat her through conventional means. The only known method to eliminate Hela is by initiating the Ragnar?k, which involves the destruction of Asgard.

Another argument is that even with Stormbreaker, Thor may not be able to destroy Hela. The weapon's most destructive feat, while impressive, has not been shown to be powerful enough to destroy Asgard. Hela possesses exceptional resilience and can withstand powerful attacks, as evidenced by her ability to brush off Thor's lightning and even stab herself multiple times without faltering. Odin, being her father, could not bring himself to kill her, further highlighting her invincibility.

Therefore, despite the addition of Stormbreaker to Thor's arsenal, the ancient queen of the underworld, Hela, remains an immensely powerful and nearly indestructible opponent within the context of Asgard still being intact. The current narrative and power dynamics make it highly improbable for Thor to defeat Hela in this scenario.
