THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR'S DEADLIEST EDGES:

Gladius vs. Longsword: The Longsword is, well, longer and it has more driving force behind it as a larger man is wielding it.

EDGE: VIKING

Trident and Net vs. Great Axe: The Gladiators do have helmets on their heads, which may or may not aid them in defense against the head-splitting Axe. The Net, if you're tangled in it, is a death sentence signed by the Trident.

EDGE: GLADIATOR

Throwing Axe vs. Throwing Spear: The Spear is larger and more cumbersome but can be used up-close to great effect. The Axe is smaller and more accurate but less effective up close.

EVEN

Gladiator Shield vs. Viking Shield: The VIking's Shield was built for practicality in mind, wheras the Gladiator's shield is a showy piece of metal that won't protect you from much, meant for entertainment, not defense.

EDGE: VIKING
