He held off all the Balrogs alone. You know who else fought all the Balrogs and lost? Ungoliant, who at that point had grown massive from swallowing the Two Trees of Valinor and the countless gems Morgoth had unwillingly fed her.

Fingolfin was a boss doe; the moment he showed up, he went and banged on Angband's doors. Couple centuries pass, and he does it again.

It doesn't really make sense why the Professor hyped up Fëanor in the Valinor chapters, only to have him die a few chapters later.
