User blog comment:Marcus5/ Season 1 Episode 2 Hwarangs vs. The Hashashin/@comment-5795750-20130528005654

BG1's "Assassins Creed - Korea Edition" Edges:

Short: From what I see in the pictures of the weapons, the Yedo is more like a katana/sabre hybrid. After doing the calculations, I see that the blade of the Shamshir is shorter than that of the Yedo which means the Yedo can get a stab it before the Shamshir can be effectively used to slash

EDGE: Hwarang

Medium: Woldo Spear is a spear which is both effective on horseback and on foot whereas the lance is a one-use weapon only good on horseback

EDGE: Hwarang

Long: Throwing knives are particularly useless against a moving opponent and have less range than a recurve bow

EDGE: Hwarang

Special: A flail vs an axe, eh? Well since a flail carries the risk of the user harming himself with it...

EDGE: Hashashin

Armour: You've already stated your case, so I'll go no further than that

EDGE: Hwarang

Overall Winner: Taking most of the weapons edges and the important X-Factors of Armour, Mobility, Training and Experience, the Korean Hwarang wins this match-up; this will be close however given the level of stealth the Hashashins employ in their tactics plus they have faced opponents similar to the Hwarang (armoured knights, generically speaking) so they will have some idea how to take them down.
