Let’s see shall we

Primary Weapons

Melee weapons I think are clearly an advantage for the Tyrant King because, well, he actually has melee weapons. The Agent seems to be pretty powerful physically but I’d take a sword and hammer that sets people on fire and electrocutes them over bare hands any day. It’s also possible that the hammer’s electric attack might short circuit the Agent’s armour as well which would make it an even deadlier option. When it comes to their firearms however the Agent has the better options here because he’s bringing automatic weaponry instead of the semi-automatic weaponry the King has and he also has five times the ammo. The King takes melee and the Agent takes ranged so I guess in terms of primary weapons they’re even.

Edge: Even

Specialised Weapons

The King’s alternate weaponry is all based around his gauntlets and they provide a number of helpful options from powerful offensive options such as the fireballs, lightning, ice and magic blade attacks to good defensive options such as the tornado and force push. The main limitation of them is that the King can only use two of them at any one time which is a bit of a hassle. The Agent is bringing some powerful options of his own; the Flocket Launcher will make short work of the King’s armour, the Mass Driver is like a more powerful combined version of the Vortex and Force Push spells and the Launch Pad gives him added mobility around the battlefield. Really both of these guys are bringing some pretty heavy duty weaponry but the Agent can switch between his more rapidly as it’s much quicker to swap around weapons than fiddle about changing gauntlets and I feel his weapons have a higher damage output overall. Edge: The Agent

Consumables

The various grenades give the Agent another set of offensive options which is neat and all but it isn’t really bringing much new to the table. The King’s potions meanwhile have more passive effects but ones I feel are more useful for this battle. His slow time potion gives him time to set up chain attacks or to dodge particularly heavy fire. His summon potion allows him to force the Agent to focus on multiple opponents at once and seeing as how his summons are unkillable he could also waste precious ammo on them. Finally his health potions which can instantly heal any wounds he has taken in combat so if he does get in trouble he’s got an easy way to get himself back into tip top shape. All these options are of far more use than just an extra form of damage.

Edge: The Tyrant King

Armour

In terms of actual protection the Bio-Armour is the better of the two as it seems to protect against a lot more damage and has regenerating shields to add a further layer of protection. The Warrior Suit might do fine against bullets and melee attacks but I don’t think it will help much against some of the heavy duty explosives the Agent is bringing. The Bio-Armour also has a load of other helpful features, such as a HUD system for easy tracking, the Thrusters and Wingsuit give him a lot of mobility and he has a couple of extra offensive options in there as well. The Warrior Suit has no added perks besides protection and as stated before it does that job worse than the Bio-Armour anyway.

Edge: The Agent

Super Powers

This one is largely a wash as they both have similar abilities. Their regeneration ability is basically the same and they’re both superhumanly strong and durable although the Agent does seem to be physically stronger. The only real difference is the King’s willpower but the only tangible ability that has is to allow him to use his magic without having to worry about mana and since the Agent isn’t restricted anything like that all it really does it put him on a more level playing field.

Edge: Even

Final Verdict

This is a tough battle to try and pick a winner for. In terms of their equipment I’d give the edge to the Agent, if just because his more powerful options are bit easier to use than the King’s, who will have to constantly switching gauntlets or chugging potions to use his stronger magic. He also has the armour which protects him better and he is much more mobile than the King because of his Launch Pad and Thrusters. That being said one of the most important pieces of equipment in this battle are the King’s health potions which give him a quick and effective way of recovering from any damage he takes. The Agent doesn’t have anything like that so is wholly reliant on his armour and regenerative ability, the latter of which will only kick in if he can get himself safely out of combat.

The King seems to be considerably more creative and intelligent in his magic use whereas the Agent has a simpler and more direct combat style. He also has the advantage of being a more alien fighter to the Agent, with his magic having been nothing like what the Agent has seen before whereas the Agent’s guns and explosives are something the King would be more used to, albeit not as powerful as the ones the Agent in bringing. Still the more I type and the more I think the more I’m leaning towards the Agent. I feel his offensive options are more powerful and he can take a lot more damage himself before he’ll go down. The King is pretty much reliant on his health potions to keep himself going and once they run out his armour and regeneration ability won’t be able to keep up with the various explosive options the Agent has.

The Agent: 2,700

The Tyrant King: 2,300
