Strange, because I haven't got a clue. A Great Warrior is almost certainly better than a Good one, but I have no meaningful comparison between a Great one, A Superb one, a Magnificent one or any of the other synonyms there might be.
What if it's a three way comparison. The Trolls have captured us all and say that to obtain my freedom I must fight one or the other. Is the choice just a sham, because the relative resistance will be "hard" regardless?

Who'se more likely to win , Warrior 5W or Warrior 5W2? This is much clearer than Vetran vs Experienced to me.
