Who’s winning the Battle of The Explorers?

Alright… Who’s winning this?

I love all Five of these franchises, but i’ve always wondered this question… Who wins in a battle of the Explorers?

So here’s the scenario for this! They’ve all gone out on an adventure with their respective casts of characters. Nathan Drake Sets out With Sully and the rest of his crew to find something to get money with. Rick O, Connell comes seeking treasure. Lara Croft goes out on another tomb raiding adventure, The Mission… for Research. And Indy comes to retrieve the artifact to put where it belongs… In a Museum! And Dora is MotherFreaking Dora The Explorer.
But our cast encounter each-other On the way in! and it’s a battle to retrieve the artifact… Who will win?

Rules Are:

Each Character can Bring whatever cast of Side Characters they so desire for Assistance, But there can be no more than 5 Companions. This means that if Nathan Drake is Joining the fight, He’s Bringing Sully, Sam, Elena, Chloe and One other with him.
Indy has a choice of side characters you can choose from to choose who he’d ideally bring with him and same for Lara.

\-No team ups allowed. Lara and Indy can’t just work together to bring down Nate. It’s every Adventurer for themselves. They can team up with their companions though…

\-They Must leave with the Artifact.

Clarification: Leaving with the Artifact means that they don’t necessarily all have to kill each other to win… They just have to get the Artifact and get away with it. (I am not just targeting Nathan here, Cause he can be a pretty sneaky little guy when he wants to be) If they are capable of slipping away, that counts as a win.

\-All feats of the characters are counted, Meaning Indy is a Combined Version of VideoGame, Comic, Novel, and Movie Indy. And Lara is both her Classic and Modern Self, and Same with Nate and any other character. Just so that people can’t nitpick you and say “Well in indiana Jones and the Infernal machine, He did \[Insert here\]” and people be like “Buts that only game Indy!”
Indy Is Indy
Croft Is Croft
Dora Is Dora
Rick is Rick
Nate Is Nate
And their Companions are Their Companions…

\-NO LEGO INDY.
Lego Indiana Jones would be the single most overpowered Character on here. In Lego Indy 2 The Adventure Continues, He Fights what is very heavily implied to be God and Wins… He fights the Hindu Goddess Kali, A Giant Kaiju made of ants and Literal Aliens. LEGO INDY does NOT count as part of this battle, and would so throughly stomp everyone on here, it would not be at all funny in the slightest.

-PLOT ARMOR CANCELS OUT!
Let’s be Honest, Everyone on here has some insane plot armor. The plot doesn’t Favor anyone here, it’s an Equal Brawl.

-Dora Can’t use the Viewer to F-cking Cheat. Dora Can use Map, Backpack and any of her other companions, but the F-cking mouse would just break everything…

\-No distinction between Lara Crofts.
Lara is Lara in this, and this is just the sake of making it easier for the list. Classic Lara is the Same Character as Modern Lara, and that is final, despite whatever character differences they may have, the accomplishments are the same.

-Dora Is her Adult Self from Dora And the Lost City of Gold. I’m not having Indy beat the Shit out of a child…

\-Any feat From Ancillary Media of any of the Franchises Counts as Well for considering characters. Meaning any of the crazy feats that Indy has pulled Off In any of His Game/Comic/Novel Appearances are canon here and can be used in the discussion.

Companion lists do not have to be Limited to any single cast from any single peice of Media, For Example Indy Could Have a Team Of Marion, Short Round, Henry Jones Senior, Sahllah, And Mac With him if you So desire. Same with any of the other characters here, but there is a limit of 5 Characters Maximum.

\-The Companions must be companions and not Villains, who have served as a sidekick/Sidecast, along side the respective character in their media appearances. NO COMPANIONS FROM CROSSOVERS.

-No Hahaha Dora Wins Funeee!
If you think Dora Wins, please just explain why Dora wins and not just “Haha Dora Wins because Dora Funny?”

Who’s winning!?

I will be Reposting this To other Subreddits as well to poll this

BONUS QUESTION: After the Battle, they realized they’ve all been fooled by a team up of villains from their respective franchises… So they all join together in a team! Who plays what role in the team?

I do run an Indy page, I'll be very honest. Indy's Legacy right up there in the top corner.

I have been running it since 2015 (way back before Dial was even confirmed), and as I stated earlier in other posts, Indy inspired me to become an archaeologist. I have two Archaeology degrees as well.

I'm fine with where I am, although I will say that I am glad that the Indy fandom has a variety of different sites and fan pages. I will also say, that I do not believe any one does have a monopoly on running a page. Or in point of fact, a monopoly on news.

I started doing this as a hobby. And to me, that's fine as i get to live out Indy's legacy in my career.

Let me know if there's any way I can improve or fix what i've been doing though. Always open to criticism although I wouldn't count myself a 'community leader' or anything.

I'm just a guy.
