Mid range: Draw. The Naginata and the Guan Dao are pretty much the same thing. Edge: Even.

Close Range: Talwar and Targe wins. The Sica and Cestus are a purely offensive combo. The Talwar and Targe is an offense/defense combo. Plus, the Targe is only metal plated, keeping it light while upping the defensive power. The spike is all-metal, but the placing of it won't throw me off. Add this to the better reach the Talwar gives me, and I think I've got this. Edge: Me.

Special: Jamadhar Katars win. The Kpinga can be thrown, but it's not going to penetrate my steel armor. Likewise, the Dirk won't be able to pierce what is, essentially, a coat of all-steel lamellar. As we saw on DW, Katars just punch through Chainmail. Add that to the fact that "Jamadhar Katars" means that they're the scissor-like ones, which are excellent for disarming, and you've got and Edge: Me.

Overall: I win. I have better weapons, and better armor. If you look at what I have, it's pretty much an agility-based style (me) vs a power-based style (DA77). My armor is made to counter a power-based style while still accommodating my agility-based style. Add that to the fact that I've got armor and weapons made from Wootz Steel, which was basically Damascus Steel made in India, and I think I've got this in the bag. Winner: Me.
