Seriously, End-of-Series Tavi was OP.

Unless I'm completely misremembering, Tavi had a lot of power, and very little finesse, other than his flight. He could blow things apart, but that's not what a hero would do in the scenarios Harry found himself in when fighting the Denarians.
There are Innocents present in almost every fight. There's no mention of having Kitai present to help keep him calm and in control, and I was under the impression that she was the one with finesse.
Short of the Island fight, there's not all that much space for Tavi to cut loose. And even then, Demonreach might show up to fight Tavi, if he thinks he's attacking the Well.
I think the circumstances, and Nico's foreknowledge of Tavi's capabilities, are enough to level the playing field.
Sully:
What s great match up.
Thatguywhocomesaround:
Alright, Furycrafting added.
Sully:
I don't think we saw Tavi be delicate because his dramatic situations didn't require it. But he used veils easily, and Amara singled those out as delicate. He did the weathercrafting along the Wall so circumspect that people didn't realize it was furycrafting.
But I think furycrafting's combat strength is in evocation and in a fast moving fight, Tavi is both better trained and more suited than Dresden.
I'd need to reread the books, but Tavi in SG murders Nico in the underworld.

I thought there was a time he needed to knock down a fort entrance, and knocked down it and all the stonework around it.
That's how I'm remembering him. Eb's power with Harry's conscience. Tavi could blow Chitchen Itza apart, but he'd worry about hitting the blood slaves stored in cages at the base.
As for the fight in Hades, I suppose it depends on what Fury powers were available. Water, wind, and wood would be scarce to draw from. Fire was present, but only for illumination. Metal was present, but mostly as coins and such. But there'd be an abundance of earth.
Short of crushing Nico, it'd be a tough fight. Especially considering Nico's got tricks with his shadow that can keep him off the ground.
