User blog:Wyvern Rex./Nothing Beats The Lord of the Rings Special: Gil-galad vs Elric

Gil-galad, High King of the Ñoldor and joint commander of the Last Alliance!

Elric, wielder of the doomed sword Stormbringer and facet of the Eternal Champion of the Multiverse!

WHO IS DEADLIEST???

A collaborative battle between Thornclaw Braveheart and Wyvern Rex..

Wyvern's edges

 * Melee: Aeglos is a fine weapon wielded by a skilled user but Stormbringer is sentient, endows Elric with near-superhuman strength and skill and absorbs the very souls of those it slays. Elric (or rather Stormbringer) wins this one.
 * Magic: Gil-galad's spell-weaving is sophisticated and Elric would have difficulty escaping from an elven spell but Elric force blast seems rather more ... practical. Particularly as he could wield it from beyond the range of Aeglos. Elric wins.
 * Special: Vilya has the power to control minor elements such as water but the Ring of Actorios is capable of summoning the demon lord Arioch to fight on Elric's behalf. This requires a large amount of energy but even without this the Actorios stone will aid Elric's fragile mental state. Elric (or rather Arioch) wins this one.
 * Armor and shielding: Gil-galad's elven-armor is superior to the cobbled-together scraps of Elric's armor.
 * X Factor: A bit of telepathy, or the ultimate back-up power facility? No contest. Elric wins.

Thornclaw's Edges

 * Melee: Aeglos has longer range than Stormbringer, yet Elric's blade absorbs souls in a Skyrim-like fashion. Edge: Elric
 * Magic: Elric's spells are powerful, but Gil-galad can distract his mind with hand-to-hand combat and attack him with magic at the same time, forcing him to focus on one and lose out on the other. Edge: Gil-galad
 * Special: Both have similar powers. Edge: Even
 * Armor: Gil-galad's armor is superior, as said above. Edge: Gil-galad
 * X-Factor: Telepathy...not that good. Edge: Elric
