User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/Season 5 Battle 8 Viking vs Persian Immortal/@comment-24180428-20130628225137

I'm bored so...

Short range-Vikings. The broadsword is stronger and longer.

Medium range-The axe is shorter and less manuverble. I believe the spear will be able to get through Viking chainmail without too much trouble. Edge Immortals

Long range-Throw your spear, you now have no long range weapon. The bow can reload and is more accurate. It's like comparing a musket to a M1 Garand. Edge Immortals

Special-The sagaris will tear the shield to pieces. The weapon is simply more versitile and more powerful. Edge Immortal

X-factors-The Immortal's training and accuracy are great advantages. Viking armor is only slightly better then Immortal armor. The Viking may be bigger, but even the biggest man wont shrug off an arrow to the eye. Edge Immortal

Winner-Immortals. They take nearly every edge. The Viking is brutal, but the better training of the Immortal counters that. The Viking is strong, but your strength wont matter much if an arrow hits you in the eye before you can use your axe. The Viking has slightly better armor, but the spear and sagaris will go through it with no trouble. The only advantages the Viking really has is that he's bigger and has a better short range weapon, however those aren't enough for a victory.
