Who is currently the strongest unit excluding easy merges?

Id say its a toss up. They both have their pros and cons. I would argue Surtr is slightly better cuz enemies will have to suffer to get to attack him, and the only good counter to him is summer Michaiah who is a seasonal, unlik3 Julia and Deirdre who are counters to Legendary Young Tiki. Not to mention the fact that there are quite a few green units in the meta and not as many red ones, so Surtr encounters less enemies that can hurt him.

I think that’s there’s a strong case that Gordin is the strongest unit in the game

I'd vote for L!Tiki

- Built in DC, sure she doesn't have 20 AoE damage like Surtr

- Due to a LARGE number of Red Swords in the pool. Lots and lots of common / uncommon / meta heroes can probably one shot Surtr.

- L!Tiki might be Dragon, but she still has color advantage over Falchion wielders.

- L!Tiki gets a boost on her season :V

Simple. Wrys.
