doughtier

Bolder than before

Doughtier is the comparative form of doughty, meaning braver or more valiant.

Doughty itself is an old-fashioned or literary word for courageous and determined: a doughty warrior, a doughty defender of civil rights.

The word has an archaic, slightly quaint ring that makes it suitable for heroic or mock-heroic contexts.
