   grace and agility of a dancer; Angel fights like a battering ram. What makes   
   their fight truly heartbreaking is that Angel gets his soul back midway   
   through, but Buffy still has to kill him anyway. The things we stab for   
   love.   
      
      
   3 BUFFY VS. WILLOW   
      
   Willow has been at Buffy's side through every broken bone and every broken   
   heart. They are allies in every sense of the word. The look of dread on   
   Buffy's face as she realizes she'll have to fight, and possibly kill, her   
   best friend is almost too painful to watch. Almost.   
      
   Anguished over Tara's death, Willow uses magic to transform herself into   
   Dark Willow. Among her nefarious spells, Willow gives herself   
   super-strength, making her even more powerful than Buffy. Buffy vows to show   
   Willow what a Slayer really is, but she hardly does a great job. Willow   
   pummels her so bad, the audience begins to question whether Buffy will   
   actually die at Willow's hand. The fact that they're eventually able to get   
   past this shows just how strong their friendship really is.   
      
      
   2 SCOOBIES VS. CALEB   
      
   Many fights Buffy can handle solo. Other times, she needs to bring in the   
   big guns. When it comes to Caleb, Buffy enlists Scoobies and Potentials   
   alike. She thinks she's leading them into battle, but in actuality, Buffy's   
   leading them to the slaughterhouse. Caleb has strength bestowed upon him by   
   the First, thus he's able to swat away his combatants like flies. Those   
   lucky to escape are battered and banged up. Two Potentials lose their lives.   
   Perhaps most disturbing of all is when Caleb gets his hands on Xander,   
   gouging out his eye. That's because Xander is the one that "sees   
   everything". It doesn't take both eyes to see this fight is one of the worst   
   Buffy and co. have endured.   
      
      
   1 BUFFY VS. FAITH   
      
   There are some lines Buffy won't cross, like killing another human. But when   
   Angel's at death's door and a Slayer's blood is the only cure, morality   
   takes a backseat. Plus, Buffy's always preferred being an only child,   
   anyway.   
      
   Buffy has fought her fair share of formidable adversaries, but nobody as   
   tough as Faith. Not only do they match each other's strength, they both have   
   supreme Slayer instincts. They've skirmished and scrapped before, but there   
   is no doubting that this one's to the death. Buffy stabbing Faith with her   
   own knife is one of the most hair-raising moments of the entire series.   
   Though Faith doesn't die, Buffy can consider that line officially crossed.   
      
           [ the best fights were always Buffy versus Faith. Coming in a close   
   second was Faith beating the hell out of Connor on 'Angel'.]
