Appelmonkey's "Trojan War 2: Wooden Horse Boogaloo" Edges

Divine Myceaenian Sword vs. Xiphos: Divine high-quality unbreakable sword > normal humanoid sword. Edge: Aeneas

Divine Dory vs. Dory: Pretty simple again, it's the same weapon, but one of them is really high quality. Edge: Aeneas

Javelin vs. Composite Bow: Not sure why you didn't give Odysseus the Bow of Eurytus. Anyway, the composite bow gets the edge from me. While the javelin might be able to penetrate armour if thrown hard enough, the bow can be fired more accurately and from a longer distance. Edge: Odysseus

Divine Trojan Armor vs. Mycenaean Noble Armor: Even if the normal version of Aeneas' armour was worse than the Mycenaean armour the fact that Aeneas' armour is divine and practically unbreakable gives it an automatic edge. Edge: Aeneas

Aphrodite vs. Athena: This is the more interesting part of the battle. The mist won't do a whole lot for Aeneas as Athena will tell Odysseus where to strike (which is also handy for bypassing the divine armour) and warn him when Aeneas will attack. Both will block and deflect the attacks for their respective favoured hero. But where Aphrodite really shines is that she heals her son. So even if Athena can guide Odysseus to strike between the armour Aphrodite can make so it doesn't even matter. Edge: Aeneas

X-Factors:

Brutality: Both are really brutal, but to get Ody pissed all you have to do is call his wife a fat bitch or something while you need to kill one of Aeneas' friends to get him that far. Edge: Odysseus

Experience: Assuming that Aeneas' journey also lasted around ten years I think they should be fairly even on this front. Edge: Even

Intelligence: Pretty easy this one. If you can impress fucking Zeus with how smart you are you are really fucking smart. Sure Aeneas isn't stupid and Odysseus can be blinded by hubris, but Athena favoured Odysseus for a reason. Edge: Odysseus

Physicality: Odysseus is not weak, let's make that clear here, but when compared to a demigod it's clear that he doesn't stand a chance. Hell Aeneas could push his spear into Achilles' shield just mean what he will do to Ody's armour. Edge: Aenaes

Tenacity: Seems pretty equell to me. Neither is the type to back down because things are getting really hard and keep soldiering on no matter what is in their way. Edge: Even

Training: Like you said this is pretty even if a bit tipped towards Odysseus' favour since he just had better trainers. Edge: Odysseus

Deadliest Warrior: Aenaes! Yeah, this is an obvious win for the Trojans in my book. Odysseus is going up against a demigod with divine weapons while he is just a man with normal weapons. Sure he could maybe think of a plan to take Aeneas down and Joseph Joestar/Batman his way through but this is highly unlikely. With superhuman strength and holy weapons, he could easily cut through Odysseus armour like butter. Meanwhile, Odysseus can barely make a dent into Aeneas' defences. Sure Athena can deflect Aeneas' attacks but there is only so much she can do. In the end Aeneas' will have revenge for his beloved Troy.
