Who is the Most Powerful Targaryen of All Time?

As a hardcore gamer and ASOIAF superfan, I am uniquely qualified to tackle this hotly debated question. After extensive analysis across several key factors like the size of dragons, conquests won, length of rule, and political power, there is one clear winner for the title of most powerful Targaryen: Aegon the Conqueror.

Now let‘s dive into the epic stats, abilities, and historical greatness of the top 5 contenders for this vaunted title across Targaryen history:

#1. Aegon I Targaryen – The Conqueror

• Conquered 6 of 7 Kingdoms with his dragons
• Established the Targaryen Dynasty
• United Westeros under his rule for the first time
  

As the OG Targaryen conqueror, Aegon has an unrivaled combination of conquests won, kingdom united, years in power, and sheer dragon might with Balerion the Dread. His dominant military victory over Westeros ushered in nearly 300 years of Targaryen rule – a true game-changer!

Gamers would especially appreciate that Aegon has the achievements and stats of an elite game character you would grind for hours to unlock. His dragon Balerion is essentially a epic mount with off-the-charts power potential to lay waste to enemies.

#2. Daemon Targaryen – The Rogue Prince

• Skilled warrior and battle commander
• Defeated the Crabfeeder and Triarchy forces
• Bonded to the formidable Caraxes the Blood Wyrm
  

As Prince Daemon Targaryen proves in HOTD, he is one of the most skilled Targaryen warriors and tacticians. And his blood-red dragon Caraxes matches Daemon‘s own ruthless style, showing elite combat abilities against seaborne enemies.

Gamers would admire Daemon‘s chaotically cool character model – he‘s clearly crafted his PvP build for maximum lethality! Combined with a battle-hardened beast like Caraxes, Daemon earns my #2 spot through exceptional RPG-like progression as an advanced spec character.

#3. Visenya Targaryen – The Warrior Queen

• Sister-wife of Aegon the Conqueror
• Rode the dragon Vhagar into battle
• Had superior political and warfare savvy

| Dragon | Vhagar |
|-|-|
| Size | Nearly as large as Balerion |
| Abilities | Flight, fire breath, intimidation |

The third head of the dragon alongside Aegon and Rhaenys, Visenya Targaryen rules as my #3 pick. Her dragon Vhagar was a top terror on the battlefield, almost rivaling Balerion‘s epic size and power.

But Visenya‘s keen talents off the battlefield also earn her this high spot. Her shrewd counsel and cunning political maneuverings showed master class RPG stats across diplomacy, intrigue, and more!

#4. Daenerys Targaryen – The Mother of Dragons

• Hatched and raised 3 young dragons
• Conquered cities across Essos
• Had largest army in recent history

| Dragon | Drogon |
|-|-|
| Size | Largest and most powerful of Daenerys‘ 3 |
| Abilities | Flight, Breath Attack +5D6, Fearsome Roar |

Storming onto the scene in GoT, Daenerys unleashes her quick growth from exiled princess to Queen of Meereen backed by an entire army and her peak-level dragons.

For gamers, Dany is every classic hero‘s journey arc fully realized – we watched her grind from LEVEL 1 NOOB to hugely powerful warlord and dragonrider! Drogon specifically hits his power spike in later seasons to become a true beast in combat.

#5. Rhaenyra Targaryen – The Half Year Queen

• First-born heir who fought for her crown
• Bonded to the dragon Syrax
• Had rightful lineage claims

| Dragon | Syrax |
|-|-|
| Size | Not the largest dragon, but formidable |
| Abilities | Flight, Fire Breath, Loyalty to Rhaenyra |

Fighting hard across kingdoms torn by civil war, Rhaenyra earns respect as she battles for the Iron Throne she believes is rightfully hers. Backed by her sharp yellow dragon Syrax, she unleashes fiery DPS until her last.

For sympathetic gamers drawn to righteous underdog causes, Rhaenyra embodies the struggle. She has trained her whole life to spec properly into dragonrider builds, questing violently when her succession is denied.

So Who Ultimately Takes the Title of Most Powerful Targaryen?

Based on the fully stacked specs and achievements analyzed across these epic contenders, Aegon the Conquer stands supreme. As the GOAT of establishing enduring Targaryen dominance in Westeros, he crushed elite status for 300 years!

Sure, you could argue Daemon‘s superior warrior dps…Or Visenya‘s dope multidimensional skillset…Or Dany‘s soaring campaign levels…But Aegon remains the final boss.

So while gamers may personally favor other Targaryens more, when all statistical greatness and historical impact is considered, First of His Name Aegon comes out as Most Powerful for sheer world-building power play!
