Having "a lot of options and ways" is basically the Terrarian's forte! They're a good match in that regard.

That green blast is pretty impressive - better than a lot of Star's magic cited on her respect page, so I'll give her that. Her showings seem to vary quite widely. But I don't give any cred to anything that "supposedly" has planet-level power if it's not shown that way in practice.

Also, looking at the wiki, I don't buy that Star is the type to immediately use All-Seeing Eye, teleport onto her enemy's face, and use all her most powerful spells.

Strangers, in her eyes, are just friends she has not met yet, and she feels bad if she hurts someone's feelings, whether intentionally or not.

As the series progresses, Star becomes less prone to resorting to magic to fix a situation, and she shows a willingness to become stronger and more serious and not run away from her problems, despite this sometimes resulting in her underestimating her enemies.

As of "The Tavern at the End of the Multiverse", after her mother's use of a magically-created army backfires horribly, Star outright hates magic, believing it only causes problems and that those who use it are "idiots". She even believes magic to be the cause of all of Mewni's problems and that destroying it will solve everything.

Diplomacy: Star has shown great charisma in her goal to achieve equality between mewmans and monsters. She was able to garner respect and admiration from the monsters and was able to bring momentary peace between mewmans and monsters during "Monster Bash".

Especially because of her diplomatic inclinations, I don't think she gets put in a match with a stranger (a friend she hasn't met yet!) and immediately tries to nuke his face off. I mean, it's not like he's an actual enemy, she never asked to be put in a tournament and commanded to fight.

Meanwhile, Terrarian is not short of nuking options:

Notably he has attacks that bypass blocks (the Lunar Flare as shown above) and also a huge range of movement options (magic mirror, portal gun, hoverboard/wings).
