Tybaltcapulet's "My collab addiction is slowly being satisfied" Edges:

Close Range: Disgusting, an iwisa clone has disgraced us with its presence. I've never liked it, and I hate it even more when I have to give it the edge. But thankfully, the Inuit club is just better in general, so I don't have to do that.The larger surface area of the Inuit club along with its flatter profile allows it to better transfer power and energy to a target, which could be absolutely devestating to the mostly unarmored Massai. And I doubt the throwing option of the Rungu is going to be very useful whatsoever, especially against both the rather useful armor of the Inuit, combined with their stockier body type. And since they've been trained to swat such projectiles out of the air, i'm not nearly as skeptical as Killer that they can deal with the Massai arrows in this manner (esepecially since their self-bows aren't exactly great with the power and speed of arrows).And getting back to close range, the Inuit club could just straight up beat the Rungu out of the Massai's hands.Edge:Inuit 

Medium Range: Gotta give this to the Inuit again. I'm almost always in favor of the longer spear in these cases, and it's no different here. Having that extra length on its side is always a plus, giving the Inuit extra area to keep the Massai farther back. I also believe the Unak's better reliability when being thrown is a great plus for them as well. In the rainforest, having a way to retrieve your weapon like the Unak's cord is greatly helpful because its better range can be better utilized without having to worry about losing their weapon.The Lion Spear is by no means horrible and is quite powerful, but it lacks the consistent versatility of the Unak.Edge:Inuit 

Long Range:Once again the Inuit snag a victory here.Self bows as I mentioned in the Close Range category, aren't exactly great compared to other bows, and that doesn't change here.The pititsik doesn't need to be popped off quickly like the self bow, so it can be used to make more accurate and powerful shots that the self bow just can't match. And this makes them susceptible to the fire of the Inuit, while not being able to dish as much out for themselves, with likely more inaccurate and less powerful shots. And with their enemies being decked out in their aforementioned powerful armor, that's a death sentence for this category.Edge:Inuit 

Special: I can't be the only one that thinks that the Seme looks longer than the Savitsuk here right? Just look at the amount of blade on  both of these two, and the Seme definitely has more to offer here. And while the Savitsuk's metallurgy isn't terrible, the metal construction of the Seme will always be more reliable in battle.Edge:Massai 

Armor: Inuit wins this one with ease. A buffalo shield and some leather garments that were basically made for regular clothing more than being actual armor aren't going to be too useful for protection. Now if we look absolute tank that is the Inuit, we see that the Massai are utterly screwed here. They can't even use their shield to take the full force of an arrow, and instead have to deflect all projectiles thrown at them. The Inuit with their armor, shield and physicality can just say no to just about any attack the Massai can throw at them, with no real trouble except maybe the Lion Spear. Besides that, they're pretty much covered. Edge:Inuit
