Beowulf's Challenge is a powerful ability that can be used to eliminate an enemy in a single attack without taking any damage in return. It also has the very unique ability to target units that are in a defensible district such as the City Center. This makes Beowulf exceptionally useful when laying siege to a city, letting him both dispose of a potential ranged attacker and weaken the city's Combat Strength. He also has the third-highest Combat Strength of any Hero, behind only Arthur and the mighty Hercules, but Beowulf's Challenge is a stronger ability than Arthur's Accolade, so Arthur's 2 extra Combat Strength is not the deciding factor.
Beowulf can also be a great Hero on the defense, as Beowulf's Challenge can kill dangerous units such as enemy Heroes besides Arthur and Hercules, and Giant Death Robots in the Future Era. It is also one of the few ways to permanently kill Vampires.
