User blog:Kazanshin/Inuit Raider vs Maori Warrior

The Inuit raider, terroriser of Canadian whalers and sworn enemy of the Cree. The Maori warrior, the cannibalistic murderer of New Zealands. Both fought the same British enemy, but who was a redcoat's true nightmare? Will the Maori's heart be frozen by the Inuit? Will the Inuit be killed for mana by the Maori?

WHO IS THE DEADLIEST!?

Personal Edges
Close Range: Shark Tooth Club vs War Club

Edge: Shark Tooth Club

This one is a close one, but I give it to the Shark Tooth because of its slashing potential. While the Inuit club can deal heavy blunt trauma, the Maori's one can deal both blunt and slashing damage. However, this slashing power is going to be mostly stopped by the Inuit's armor.

Mid-Range: Taiaha vs Hunting Harpoon

Edge: Hunting Harpoon

Another close one, but it goes to the harpoon. The two are of similar length, and the Taiaha packs a deadly close quarters stab, but the harpoon doesn't fall far too behind in the stabbing category. What truly makes the harpoon a great weapon is the rope attached to it, which I see the Inuit use to entangle, confuse and trick the Maori. The rope also means the Inuit can retrieve the harpoon after it's thrown, unlike the Taiaha.

Long Range: Hoeroa vs Cable Backed Bow

Edge: Cable Backed Bow

This one isn't really a contest. It's a throwing spear made of bone against a unique bow with the power to bring down a 300 lbs caribou. The CBB has a cable made of elastic animal tendon, which gives even more strength to the already deadly North American Bow. The only real advantage the Hoeroa has is that it can also be used as a melee weapon, and this is about which can kill the opponent at a distance, nothing else.

Special Weapons: Mere vs Snow Knife

Edge: Mere

The Snow Knife, as cool as the name sounds like, isn't a battlefield weapon. It's a tool used to carve ice to make igloos, unlike the Mere, which is an ancestral and honored weapon capable of smashing a bull's skull. The American knife fighting skills of the Inuit won't close the gap between the two weapons.

Deadliest Warrior: Inuit

While the Maori is a fierce fighter in close quarters combat, the Inuit with his bow, his harpoon and his armor will dominate at long range, which will let him kill the Maori without even letting him get close. There's also the fact that the Maori is unarmored, which nearly nullifies the advantage the Shark Club has, which is slashing power. The only way for the Maori to come out victorious is to close the gap as quickly as possible and go in with the Taiaha and the Shark Tooth, and even then the Inuit isn't defenceless: a single good strike with that War Club and the Maori loses a bone. Overall, the Inuit hits harder at long range, can take much more damage, and can hold his own in melee.
