Isn't this question more applicable to the world of computer games rather than Middle earth--or Arda?
The quality which made Feanor the highest representative of the Noldor was the fire which burned within him. Such fire is metaphoric or symbolic rather than material (although he does literally die of fire in the end). That's just one example of the ethos of the Legendarium where physical strength is not the most important quality in a character or the determining quality in an event or situation. Tolkien explored pride, power, will rather than brute physical force.
