User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Agnes Chevalier de Milan (Familiar of Zero) VS Yatorishino Igsem (Alderamin on the Sky)/@comment-32516697-20180528043428

Laqy's "With Fire And Sword / Wikia, You Vote-Eating Monster" Edges

Short Range: The sabre has an undeserved negative reputation on the Wiki. True, it is usually meant as a cavalry weapon, but it also saw a lot of use on foot (especially in the 17th century, where Yatori's version comes from), so Yatori's not necessarily at a disadvantage by using one. That said, Yatori doesn't only have one weapon, she has two. The longsword is one of my favorite weapons, and I loathe to vote against it, but even with her superior reach, when Yatori's speed and strength is considered, I just can't see Agnès being able to defend herself from two directions at once. If the physicals were equal, or they were wearing armour, then maybe this area would be more even, but that's not the case. Edge: Yatorishino Igsem

Long Range: Agnès takes an easy edge here for being a lot more skilled and experienced in the use of her weapon. Edge: Agnès Chevalier de Milan

Special: The fire spirit isn't usually used as a direct weapon, but there's no reason it shouldn't be. Swordfighting becomes significantly more difficult once you've been set on fire. The grenades have more raw power, but they're also unreliable, and the spirit's flames might even make them detonate while Agnès is still carrying them, ending the fight instantly. The flames could also be applied in more creative ways, such as forming barriers, making for a much more versatile and useful weapon. Edge: Yatorishino Igsem

Conclusion: I disagree with my fellow voters in that I think this battle is rather straightforward. The only area that Agnès has a serious advantage is at long ranges, and because of Yatori's speed, and the fact that the fight takes place in a area with a lot of available cover, it won't matter that much. When the distance is finally closed, Yatori's superior weaponry, experience, speed, and strength will put a quick end to this duel of fantastical fencers. Winner: Yatorishino Igsem!
