10 Video Game Companions So Strong You're Just Getting In The Way
5. Ciri - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
If it's said that the natural order of things is for children to surpass their parents, then Geralt of Rivia's adopted daughter Ciri most certainly fits that bill - and then some.
Beyond being a dab hand with a sword, Ciri is capable of manipulating time and space, ensuring that whenever she offers a helping hand to Geralt - or the player takes control of her - she can make short work of adversaries.
The fact that Ciri is "overpowered" is precisely the point, of course - she's had Witcher training while also having Elder blood coursing through her veins, a combination which makes her the canon strongest character in the franchise, far in excess of Geralt.
Plus, given that Ciri's power ceiling is still not known by the end of The Witcher 3, we've likely only seen a fraction of what she's truly capable of. Geralt's no chump, but with some guidance, Ciri's the real deal.
