I agree that the likes of Fionn and Beowulf arent given the credit they deserve. Beowulf is a badass who killed a hellspawn with his bare fists while naked. He also killed a Dragon with his bare fists when his weapons broke because his blows were so hard. And that happened when he was about 80-90 years old. Fionn on the other hand is basically omniscient because of the Salmo of Wisdom and has his the Crane Bag of Fiana which is basically a Gate of Babylon that can also house spells. Fionn also didnt die. In his legend he just sleeps and will rise again when Ireland is in danger. That means hes more akin to the likes of Scathac, Merlin, and King Hassan.

However I dont agree with him being outshined by any other SR berserker both in NA and JP. If all else fails he still has the best NP dmg among the entire SR zerks. At equal NP and skill levels he easily outdmges everyone. The only SR zerk who can dethrone him is Jalter because we get her at NP5. If you compare him to the likes of Herc and Penth who specializes on regular card dmg then of course he isnt gonna compare because that's not his nieche.

In JP he gets his 2nd skill strengthened which increases his burst potential even more. He can easily destroy a break bar or two if you play him right. His problem was his second skill. It didnt give anything to him. Vanilla Beowulf's kit screams otk/nukes but his second skill doesnt help him at all. The main thing he has is his NP dmg and his 1st skill. And even right now he still outdmges the others. Post strengthening he becomes much better since you can now use him to nuke things without his NP or futher delete things wit higher HP.

The main downside is the likes of LuBu exists who outbursts most NP1 gold units. Even an NP5 Herc will have problems out bursting an NP5 LuBu. Other than LuBu we also get Jerker for free. This basically makes pre strengthen Beowulf redundant but post strengthening his place as the go to ST nuker SR zerk is solidified because he is more self sufficient with his crits.
