fiercest

Most intensely savage

Fiercest is the superlative of fierce—the most intense, savage, or formidable among a group.

It describes whatever shows the greatest ferocity or intensity: the fiercest competitor, the fiercest storm in decades, her fiercest critic.

The word applies equally to physical aggression and metaphorical intensity: fiercest loyalty, fiercest determination.
