User blog comment:El Alamein/The Master (ActRaiser) vs. the Hero (Fate)/@comment-5232784-20140209002345

Gentlemen, let's broaden out minds....

1. primary weapon Both the Master and the hero wield weapons that should be called two handers, but the hero wields his one handed, and is strong enough to do so as easily as anyone could wield a one hander blade (or the blade is light enough for this to be done). That alone indicates that he will be able to block and strike more quickly than the master, and since he is already noted for superior speed, this means that the Hero's blade is the superior one. Length, combined with speed, gives the Hero a devastating edge

EDGE: The Hero

2. secondary weapon Both spectral crossbow and the flame sword are projectile weapons, but the latter doubles as a close range one as well, and has more power. However, the crossbow seems to fire more rapidly, and not only does it sap energy and life, but it also is very effective against magically enhanced foes: the Master is a near -deity. He can make his sword a flame sword and has magical capabilities. Therefore it seems like the spectral crossbow will not only damage the master goodly, it seems likely that it will sap his energy more than it would a foe that isn't magically empowered. Still, it does not double as a short and long range weapon, and its does not have the power of the melee flame sword attack. I give this a draw.

EDGE: dead even

3. Armor The Hero's armor is very thick and heavy, yet he wears it like it was lightweight, lending him greater speed than the armor should allow. However, the Master is not even flesh: he is in a statue form, possibly metallic, and his armor itself is also metallic (save for maybe his sandals...?). one warrior is armored, the other is armor. The Master wins easily.

EDGE: the Master

More to come...
