@WhoWouldWin13 Both combatants have experience fighting monsters, though Red Sonjay's enemies would be far more varied. Both are well trained, with Tauriel having superior archery skills. Red Sonya, however, is far better with the blade, and with peak human physicality, she's far superior
@WhoWouldWin13 in terms of strength, durability, speed and agility. Peak human physicality enables people like Batman (225 pounds) to lift around twice that of the largest, most powerful weight lifters. Catwoman can press 800 pounds over her head for crying out loud (Most male weightlifters
@WhoWouldWin13 max out at 500-500 pounds when it comes to lifting heavy weights over their heads, whether they are snatching or clean and jerking). Considering that Red Sonya comes from a culture where you had to use your body more strenuously, from an early age, than the modern world, its very
@WhoWouldWin13 likely that she would be stronger than most female DC characters with peak human physicality. In mean, there is a reason why Conan (who she has fought alongside) defeated Captain America, when the former went through a time warp into the future!

@WhoWouldWin13 the effect one's childhood and adolescence (i.e. development) has on one's adult form. The more you use your body for strenuous labor as a kid and teenager, the more potential for physicality you have as an adult. Ernie Shavers split wood from an early age, and the excessive
@WhoWouldWin13 usage of a wood axe gave him the heaviest punch in possibly all heavyweight boxing history. People who fought both George Foreman (known for unearthly punching power) and shavers will say that Shavers it harder.
Likewise, Red Sonya has had a tough, Hyborean age

@WhoWouldWin13 upbringing, thus making her peak human physicality...incredible. Not even Tauriel is as agile.
If this gets into close quarters, Red Sonya wins.
However, Tauriel is a superb shot, a master of the bow. And let's not forget that her arrows are made by elves, thus potentially

@WhoWouldWin13 having magic powers. The elf made metal on them would be among the finest metal of middle earth. Plus, though Red Sonya has some armor...its not a whole lot of it. Like the Celts of old, Red Sonya has a lot of bare skin in battle. Tauriel may have leather armor on her clothes,
@WhoWouldWin13 and though steel is superior to leather, she is far better covered than red Sonya.
One thing that must be considered here is martial arts. Tauriel no doubt has some H2H combat training (some fighting soldiers in the ancient world did, such as the Spartans. Indeed, most if not

@WhoWouldWin13 all ancient armies taught some form of H2H combat to their soldiers), but Red Sonja is known to be a master of martial arts. Tauriel has never been shown to use bare unarmed combat, but Red Sonya has used it on numerous occasions.
Once again, in close quarters, Red Sonya

But what at long range?
Could Tauriel pick her off at a distance?
Yes, though she'd have to hit her target fist, and one thing about Red Sonya...she had peak human speed.
Its difficult to know how fast someone at peak human physicality could run, but there is

@WhoWouldWin13 a few things we can go on.
Usain Bolt, one of the fastest people of modern times, could run at 27 miles per hour. He pulled this off by running on a flat track with spiked shoes. However, some prehistoric Australian Aboriginal men could have gone even faster than that, as seen

We're talking about potentially around 40 miles per hour.
As fast...as some horses.
And keep in mind, Red Sonya's much smaller than a horse, thus makes for a harder target, so Tauriel will have a harder time putting an arrow through her if she

@WhoWouldWin13 darts across the battlefield. Indeed, Red Sonya is so tough that one arrow in her would just tick her off.
I could see this battle starting with Tauriel firing her arrows. Red Sonya would jump or duck out of the way, try to use cover to sneak up on Tauriel.
Then....AXE!!!
