'''Laq's "Biggest Letdown of 2019 So Far" Edges

Greatsword vs. Steel Sword: Isn't the greatsword made of steel as well? Anyways, Gregor gets the edge because his sword is much longer and will hit much harder, and because of his immense strength, he doesn't have to deal with any of the setbacks. Edge: Gregor Clegane

Westerossi Lance vs. Peri's Lance: That is one poor excuse for a lance. Any lance that can double as a throwing spear is no true lance. It's also half the size of Gregor's, and sucks at penetrating armor, which is exactly what a lance is supposed to be good at. I hope you kept the receipt, Peri. Edge: Gregor Clegane

Heater Shield vs. Kite Shield: Yep, that's a kite shield, not a tower shield. In fact, what most people think of as a tower shield didn't really exist in medieval history, but I digress. While normally wielding a shield with that much metal in it is generally a bad idea, this is fantasy we're dealing with, where steel is weightless. And if you can lift and not have it tire you out like it would in reality, there's no reason you shouldn't be defending yourself with a shield made of a stronger material and much larger than a heater shield. Also, the kite shield is one of my favorite shields in history and I love it, so there's that. Edge: Peri

Gregor Clegane's Armor vs. Peri's Armor: Put on a damn helmet, Peri. You need it when you ride a bike, and you need it when you fight Icelandic bodybuilders to the death. Both warriors are going to end up going for the head, because mail isn't as easy to pierce as Deadliest Warrior would have you believe, and aiming for the legs is generally impractical. So it comes down to head protection, which Peri has none of. It also doesn't help her that Gregor's armor appears to have a few more layers on it than Peri's. Edge: Gregor Clegane

Westerossi Warhorse vs. Nohrian Warhorse: With both warriors decked out in such heavy armor, aiming for the horse might not be such a bad idea.
