Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] Edges: East versus West - Medieval Massacre

Weapons: Segregated by weapon type. I) Swords - While I believe the aerodynamic and light sword is great to have, I think that the Longsword has barely enough edges to pull it over. While the increased weight will make utilizing the Tizona a bit of a pain in the neck, the fact that it has 2/3 of a foot over it's competitor is a large edge (no pun intended). Speaking of edges (alright I'll stop now) the tizona has two of 'em, allowing for a higher level of adaptability with the sword that can help even the odds even without the length boost. So, I'll have to give a slight edge for the Tizona. [Winner- El Cid]

II) Polearm - When it comes to these weapons, It's all about length, and I'll have to semi-agree with BG when it comes to this edge. I also have to note that with the thinner blade attached to the Naginata, it may get some increase in versatility while having some hampering on pure damage output. Also as BG stated the blade can be detached and re-attached for a sneaky stealth strike, which I agree is great, but the fact that the blade could be loosed with a single strike is troubling. And considering that this seems to be a bit more of a direct battle, I think the pros and cons balance eachother out on this one. [Winner- Tie]

III) Bow - While looking into some of the statistics of certain Medieval Crossbows, I found that the crossbow is but a slightly better tool. The early medieval era crossbows were not that great in terms of range, but did in fact outclass even longbows in terms of firepower. The crossbows themselves would weigh more than a Yumi, but the bolts are slightly lighter than longbow arrows. The difference in range can become negligible when one factors in the increased accuracy and accessibility of the crossbow, making it a slightly better weapon to utilise in combat.  [Winner- El Cid]

'IV) Other '(Flail and Tanto) ''- To be Continued, Will finish vote soon.
