GoWibble he/him Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Here are the top 10 wittiest characters (in my opinion) from what we've seen throughout the general cosmere: Hoid Wayne Shallan Sarene Kelsier Breeze Ham Kaladin Nazh Shai 1
Elegy he/him Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Nice idea! I don't think Kaladin, Nazh and Shai are all that witty. Lightsong and Blushweaver deserve a spot in there instead - I'd even put Lightsong on no. 4. We definitely agree on who's in the top 3 and who's no. 1 though! To many more witty Cosmere characters to come! 4
Karger he/him Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) 1. Hoid 2. Lightsong 3. Shallan 4. Steris's prepared statements 5. Kelseir 6. Nightblood 7. Wayne 8. Siri 9. Breeze 10. Ham Edited October 8, 2019 by Karger
Nuatoma Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 No Jasnah? tsk tsk. She's probably 2nd. I'd consider 6th of the dusk witty too.
Torchwood17 he/him Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 My list is pretty similar, just the placements seem different mostly. But of course Hoid is #1, I wonder how many Cosmere readers don't place him at the top of the wittiest character list 1. Hoid 2. Wayne 3. Lightsong 4. Shallan 5. Sarene 6. Nightblood 7. Steris 8. Breeze 9. Jasnah 10. Kelsier

Paalm Tree Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Jasnah is witty when she wants to be, but usually acts professional(unlike Shallan who can literally not stop) and this makes her wit seem even better when she does lash out, because you aren't expecting it. Quote “Why, Jasnah? Why have you always denied me?” “Other than the fact that you are a detestable buffoon who achieves only the lowest level of mediocrity, as it is the best your limited mind can imagine? I can’t possibly think of a reason.” “Mediocre?” Amaram growled. “You insult my mother, Jasnah. You know how hard she worked to raise me to be the best soldier this kingdom has ever known.” “Yes, from what I understand, she spent the seven months she was with child entertaining each and every military man she could find, in the hopes that something of them would stick to you.”
GoWibble he/him Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 So, I was trying to keep it to the human(oid) characters that did not have explosions of crass wittiness.
Aon Tia she/her Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Do you think Denth could be in top 10 i mean he is a bad character but he was plenty witty with his I hate being mercenary stuff cant think of anyone else pretty much agree with the list
GoWibble he/him Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 I guess I need to reread Warbreaker

We haven't seen much of him yet too. He's grumpy yes , but with style. But yeah I get ur push. I really do think he's seriously witty. Maybe the Silverlight novella(s) will show that aspect of him . Hopefully
