![How strong and fast is Malenia? Likely more than you think. Let's look at her Waterfowl Dance. First, some ground work. Malenia's sword occupies a volume of 0.0039 m^3, and is made of unalloyed gold, which has a density of 19,320 kg/m^3. This puts the sword's mass at 75 kg, nearly a hundred times larger than historical one-handers. The blade itself is 2.7 meters/9 feet long.

This is equal to the radius of the circle centered around her body, which at ~3.75 meters equals a circumference of ~23.56 meters. It is possible to measure the velocities of her swings by calculating how long it takes them to clear some or all of his circle. In her Waterfowl Dance, her faster-than-eyesight slashes very consistently clear this circle within 4 or so frames.

The whole dance lasts about 5 seconds, but she pauses in between the flurries to jet herself at the target, so her rate of swings per second is much higher than that implies. For example, her last flurry has all ten strikes hitting within under 0.7 seconds, meaning ~15 per second, each taking <0.07 seconds.

The velocity of the impacted spot would be somewhat below the tip velocity of ~368 m/s, as swords don't hit things right at the tip. Subtracting twenty percent of the sword's length from the tip (a safe assumption) would reduce the radius of the circle from ~3.75 to ~3.2, and the (2/3 of 75 kg = 50 kg) circumference from 23.56 meters to 20.11 meters, thus all velocity figures by 15%; this means that the cutting part of the blade impacts the target at 314 m/s with 66% effective mass. This means each of the 43 swings in the Waterfowl Dance is hitting with 2,468,000 joules, as much as a tank shell, concentrated into a blade edge or context, Alan Williams' "Knight and the Blast Furnace" chapter 9.4 states that regular men with swords and axes manage 60 to 130 joules of kinetic energy in their strikes, while "a particularly strong man with a two-handed sword or axe just might be able to" manage a bit over 200 joules. tl;dr: Malenia's slashes are each equivalent to getting shot by a tank cannon, she can throw dozens of them in a few seconds, and she's tens of thousands of times stronger than an average man -1.844 1.25 mm -2.5 mm 0 1 1 0.0632 mm 2.7028 mm 0.2704 mm 0 0 7 Fla2:22/6:58on Tears +9 Mimic Tear Seppuku 7 Fla2:22/6:58on Tears +9 0:03 / 0:27 0:15/0:27 3518 Contact Tol Volume: Surface Area: Center of Mass: -1.486 1.687 Done 3518 5.871 5.577 2.658 Done Watch later YouTube ?
