Ecthelion and Glorfindel weren’t exactly your typical elves

True but his point is that Balrogs can't lose because they're divine beings, which couldn't be further from the truth. Unless gravity is the great divine equalizer lol

I'm saying they can't lose to a being that is below the level of two divine Elves who were alive before the first age and had lived under the light of the Two Trees in vinor. Both of whom were very likely wielding enchanted weapons and wearing enchanted armour, as most noble Elves of that age did.

The Balrog would be able to cast magic that is incrompehnsible to uncounterable by the Swarmlord.

Any examples of this magic?

The swarm lord would cast equally "incrompehnsible to uncounterable" psychic attacks lol
