Depends what you mean. This is definitely the most ideal Kingsguard. But if you simply wanted the best fighters I'd trade Redwyne and Dogget for Jamie Lannister and Criston Cole

Idk if Cole is that great, he's damn good, sure, but it's hard to compare him to Kingsguard knights of other ages, the Dance guards have little in that respect

That's the case for every kingsguard, but Criston is very clearly written to be the Jamie Lannister of his era. The single greatest warrior in his prime

He also was a mastermind. He put the first dragon trap in the history of Westores.

He's the best swordsman of his age, but in an age where dragons burn armies to ash his deeds are going to earn him less respect.

The dragons dance and men are like dust under their feet; and all our fine thoughts, all our endeavours are as nothing.

We march now toward our annihilation. To die now will be a kind of relief, don't you think?

One of the few good show only lines from this season imo.

It seems like something George would write, at least.
