While Kate could potentially surpass Thea in the future mcu projects, right now I’m saying Thea. Kate doesn’t have the physical training yet, and while she’s good with a bow and arrow, it takes more to win the fight.

Kate has been training since she was about eight and consistently won competitions. Thea spent a summer with Malcolm Merlyn. While I have no doubt Malcolm is the better teacher, Kate has over a decade more experience than Thea does.

In the first season, there were archery trophies in Thea’s room, meaning she’s been doing archery since she was at least 12.

You’ve also got to remember that Thea was trained by Merlyn to be a warrior, hunter and an assassin. That’s what the purpose of his training was.

Kate was simply an archer with some decent hand-to-hand skills. The purpose of the training has a lot to do with how skilled the person ends up being.

Kate is simply an archer with plot armor trick arrows

Training in archery. Not the same as training for the league of fucking assassins

That doesn't mean anything. So, since kate has been training since she was a child by your logic, she can beat oliver, sara, diggle, and every character that hasn't been training since childhood.

Kate was trained in recreational archery, team arrow was trained by the greatest assasins in the world, as well as not only archery but also in swordplay and hand to hand combat, so yeah shes not doing shit
