Best and Worst in Cosmere


Shardmancer

Recommended Posts

So after reading many of Sanderson books there are obivous class differences: SO whose the best whose the worst??

 

Some suggestions:

 

Worst :SKA>Bridgeman<Drab>Lifeless>Shoad>Kandra (back when they were only beaten and used in contacts)

 

Best:: Mistborn>Highprince > Elantrian>Shardbearer >Returned>Nobleman..Etc

What about a bridgeman who's forced to sell his Breath and then finds out his father was a Scadrian nobleman and then goes on the run from Steel Inquisitors, who catch up with him just as the Shaod takes him so they beat him senseless with pewter, leaving him as a Hoed who constantly mumbles "no more bridge runs"?

As for the best life, probably Hoid.

I'd much rather be Mistborn, but in terms of social structure, Returned is pretty obviously higher. I mean, god vs assassin.

TFE spoilers

Look at Shan. Yeah, gods get a lot of worship, but most Mistborn get treated like royalty simply by virtue of their power. Any noble house fortunate enough to spawn a Mistborn treats him or her with absolute respect. No one wants an uber-powerful assassin working for the other side.

If you are Returned remmeber you have to listen to people everyday ask for you to kill yourself for them.. you have constant duties and schedules and are part of a inept and manipulative government...

 

Mistborn is badass free to do whatever...But I;d probably go with Shardbearer (not too many responsibilites but still has thier own land/title)

Elantians were viewed as gods before everything fell apart, I would argue they are ahead of all of them. They have all the abilities of the returned (immortal, peak physical condition that never runs out, etc), They have powers that theoretically could rival mistborn (considering they can heal themselves, blast enemies, teleport, and who knows what else), and if we are referring to shardbearers and not knight radiants, then again I think Elantians win out. If we are talking SURGEBINDERS then that is a different story

Great, now I'm going to feel mildly revolted when I reread WoA and HoA. Happy now?

Yes. Yes I, for one, am :) Maybe we should make a thread for the most disturbing comparisons/scenarios...

 

Being the Shard is best :) Probably... Not sure about the worst, so many possibilities....

LOL so I just realized you all meant shardbearer as in preservation, ruin, etc. I thought shardbearer as in armor and sword from stormlight archive. in that case i would have to say it would depend on the shard. yeah being preservation means a ton of power, but at the same time you are very limited by what you can do with it.
