Baldur in the God of War series is depicted as an incredibly strong and durable god, often considered one of the toughest opponents Kratos has faced. His strength is comparable to Kratos himself, as he has shown feats such as lifting extremely heavy objects (like a large boulder weighing hundreds of tons), throwing them with great force, and physically overpowering Kratos at times. Baldur is noted for his ability to withstand immense physical punishment, shrugging off attacks that would incapacitate others, and he cannot feel pain or other sensations due to a curse, which adds to his combat endurance. Despite this, he is not invincible and has been defeated by Kratos, indicating that while powerful, he is not the absolute strongest god in the series. Key points include:
- Baldur's physical strength matches or is at least very close to Kratos's.
- His durability allows him to regenerate and ignore injuries that would harm others.
- He can wield elemental powers like fire and ice during combat.
- His curse makes him immune to pain, fatigue, and damage effects.
- He has battled and nearly matched powerful beings like Kratos and Thor.
- Baldur is considered the third strongest Aesir god after Odin and Thor but below some Greek gods like Zeus in power hierarchy.
Overall, Baldur's strength lies not just in raw power but also in his resilience and inability to feel pain, making him a formidable and intimidating adversary.
