This begs the question… when has Harry lost? He has decidedly come out on top in every major conflict of his career. This includes his mentor when he was like, twelve, the demigod/god level Faerie Courts (both at once), and even continues to thwart an almighty-seeming unknowable mastermind super wizard that the white council cant even find, much less put a stop to. On top of all this Harry has achieved all these wonderfully difficult things while suffering an apparently unending string of unfortunate events, ill luck, and any and all Murphy’s law applications. Plus Harry has a magnum. What now?

Harry would never be beaten by Conan. Period with a capital P. Y’all didn’t even read the Dresden Files did you?

. . .
Harry = win. He’s been up against things smarter, tougher, and faster, AND STILL KICKED A$$. C’mon, “no one’s that fast”? You play this as though he fights vanilla humans as a challange instead of farie queens and fallen angels.
Conan only won this one because he has a larger fan base. Weighed equally? No way. Even if he’s being choked, there’s still enough breath left to mutter a death curse, and Conan is screwed. So in endgame, Conan cannot win with what he’s doing even if somehow Dresden dies.

:C
Harry shoulda won that.
Conan is brilliant, fast, and strong…
But Dresden is pretty clever, fast, a spell slinger, and has tricks up his sleeve that the Cimmerian would have a hard time anticipating and probably could not counter.

Conan wins (Harry have no chance).
Someone don’t belive that sometimes sword is stronger than guns… Let me tell you that Conan can throw sword or knife as James Coburn do in “The Magnificent Seven” (1960).
Conan fights against most powerful wizards of his age:
1) Thot-Amon
- The most powerful of all Stygian sorcerers, he is a master strategist, and is capable of setting traps and schemes.
2) Xaltotun
- is by far the most dangerous black wizard Conan ever faces, in any of the Conan stories. The one time Conan faces Xaltotun in direct combat, Xaltotun brushes Conan aside as easily as if he were swatting a fly, blasting him unconscious with a flick of his hand.
Yes, he fight and lived to tell the tale.
About Conan:
- Despite his brutish appearance, Conan uses his brain as well as his brawn. The Cimmerian is a talented fighter, he is also a talented commander, tactician and strategist, as well as a born leader. Conan prefers to fight with a single sword and an open off-hand, which he uses for punching and grapplin.
Some of his hardest victories have come from fighting single opponents of inhuman strength: one such as Thak, the ape man from “Rogues in the House,” or the strangler Baal-Pteor in “Shadows in Zamboula.
Best part of Conan is that he is very difficult to defeat in hand-to-hand combat. Conan needs only to have his back to the wall so that he cannot be surrounded, and then is capable of engaging and killing opponents by the score.
Although Conan is muscular, Howard frequently compares his silence, suppleness, agility, way of moving to that of a panther – see, for instance, “The Servants of Bit-Yakin” (”Jewels of Gwahlur”), Beyond the Black River or “Rogues in the House”.
An in the end little trivia about Conan vs. guns:
- in comics story “What if…Conan the Barbarian Walked the Earth Today?” (#13) we see in page 38, 42 & 44 (Harry would end like that bandit in page 44) how Conan fights against gun with no sword
in No. 43 What if…series (What if…Conan the Barbarian..were stranded in the 20th Century?” he fights against Captain America and wins…
