I meant 2x. I firmly believe that two Semirhage's will hand Rand his ass, and even one will, with her strength and skill, give him a tough time.


The problem with this is that in this case, the Female Forsaken would have been smothered within the first year of the war. Instead, of the top six Foresaken, three are women.

Rand's quote about 3 Semirhage's is to be taken in the context of the situation. He has not been shielded by 13 women (which he doesn't know at this point). Hence, he is not even able to flex the shield. He calls it a hard wall. He is totally helpless against it. To achieve this kind of effect with just three women, all of them would have to be as strong as Smeirhage.

But even Semirhage alone, and definitely Semrihage with an AS or two (or even Moggy with two AS) can shield him/finish him off in battle. Only, he will have some chance to fight back. Maybe the shield wouldn't be a brick wall.

Far from showing that Smeirhage is weak, the fact that it takes 13 Aes Sedai to do what three of her kind could shows that she is not only very strong, but also insanely skilled and precise in her weaving.
