AoE spells targeting exactly two targets, scaled appropriately (e.g., 60% chance to do full damage, 40% chance to do half damage if relevant, which it usually is other than for cantrips.) Expected ~5 encounters per day, average 4 rounds apiece (technically, treated as 20 combat rounds, however those get divvied up.) Two short rests, which may be a little on the high side but I prefer not to assume non-integer amounts of short rests even if 1.5 is probably more accurate. That (essentially) ensures full use of Arcane Recovery and provides the Fighter with three uses of Action Surge. Did not factor in HP/AC/etc.; the Fighter is more durable, sure, but is forced to take far greater risks because of having to attack and move in melee. No magic items of any kind, no feats, no racial features, etc. Just class vs class. Subclass factored in separately, as noted.Edit: And yes, I used fireball, shatter, and magic missile as the damage spells here. Toll the dead was used instead of firebolt because it has superior damage dice against targets that have taken any amount of damage, which is effectively guaranteed given the offensive spells used (as all either do half damage on a passed save, or always hit.)</blockquote>
