Magic Sword: Falchion vs Excalibur

I'm giving this straight to King Arthur. The Falchion can heal and kill dragons, but the Excalibur does the same thing automatically and can kill dragons simply with its unbreakable property. Falchion can repair itself, and that means nothing to the Excalibur which is already indestructable the first place. Its healing property is quite weaker as well, as we see of the Excalibur being able to stop Arthur from all types of bleed wounds which I presume will be a lot in this match. Oh and it also gives him a first strike advantage seeing how he blinds people when he draws the sword from the scabbard.

Lance: Gae Bolg vs Rhongomyniad

There's no doubt that the Rhongomyniad is more lethal due to its poisonous nature. Problem is, he's not facing a bunch of naked barbarians or cloth-wearing merry men here. Chrom's Gae Bolg can't go through Arthur's unbreakable armor, but so's the Ron. Chrom's armor isn't invincible like Arthur's, but the Ron won't be getting past that thing so easily. Combined with the fact that the Gae Bolg bolsters the wearer's overall defense and survivability, it's easy to say that Chrom gets the edge. If Chrom didn't wear anything, I would've given it to Arthur, though.

Long Range: Spear vs Carwennan

The spear is actually better than the Carwennan in melee. I mean dude, spear vs knife, which one would you rather bring in a fight? The spear is versatile and can be thrown, as well. The Carwennan though? Oh that thing never misses like Hawkeye and it certainly has more power from what I can infer. Arthur takes this since the Carwennan always hits and when it does, even Chrom's still going to feel great pain with that great armor of his. The spear is fearsome, but it's only advantage lies in the melee department due to its greater melee range.

Armor: Great Lord Armor and the Shield of Seals vs Goswhit, Wigar, and Wynebgwrthucher

Comparing body armor first, Chrom's armor is better than Arthur's mail shirt because it's plate armor. Problem? That mail shirt of Arthur's is unbreakable and will prove impossible for Chrom to effectively penetrate. The Goswhit serves as an extra layer of protection from unwanted cheap strikes to the head, which already gives Arthur an advantage in defense versus Chrom. For shields however, I'll give it to Chrom since it has the power to repel dragons. The Wyne-something shield is tough, but its power is pretty much unknown. Overall, the edge in this category goes to Arthur again. In addition to his unbreakable mail shirt, Arthur's 'inferior' shield (whose power may not be on par on the SoS but approaches it) is compensated with the presence of a steel helmet.

X-Factors: Exalt of Ylisse vs Legend of England

I'll give a tie for the two's trainings. Chrom was trained by the best fighters in the world to become an even better fighter, but Arthur was already put in war simulations as part of his training. Both of them know the basics of warfare, but their different trainings are just about as equal as one another in this case.

I'm actually giving Chrom a slight edge in experience because of his battles with Grima. When you mentioned Grima as a world-ending threat, that's when I turn my favour to Chrom. Arthur fought many of the ancient world's warriors and a bunch of monsters, but there's nothing (here) that trumps the experience of fighting and defeating a planetary threat. Yes, the Briton fought a wider variety of human and non-human threats, but dude, Chrom basically survived fighting against a mini-Thanos. I must remind you though that this one's a slight edge. Arthur's the older guy and he's seen much to contend with Chrom.

Physicality? Well, crap, the feats are encouraging me to go for Chrom again. He is an agile fella, I say, but Arthur's own speed is able to match Chrom's own. Chrom can take fire and lightning spells, which are no joke in my opinion, considering how hot lightnings are. But then, we never know how powerful those spells are, right? Arthur on the other hand has taken blows from giants and get up just fine which is pretty much ordinary for Warhammer heroes and has extraordinary feats of survivability where he took insane trauma that should've killed him but failed to do so. I'll give this one to Arthur.

Overall, the X-Factors are even.

WINNER: KING ARTHUR

Yeah, I'm jumpin' in the bandwagon. Chrom is no doubt an amazing and powerful knight, but Arthur just overshadows him in many ways. His sword is able to cut through virtually everything with its magical property and Arthur's own muscles, and his armor is invincible to even the strangest of Chrom's anime arsenal. I said that Chrom's more experienced because of the mini-Thanos he fought, but Arthur's actually all-around more experienced than him. Add those with his superior physicality, and Avalon reigns in this knightly battle!
