Elgb's "Sci-Fi Factions Battle Royale" EDGES!!!

Main: Fun as this sound, but I'm actually going to give the edge to the XCOM. I've never been impressed with the stormtroopers before and decades later, they're still worth as shit. They suck at fighting rebellions, they suck at being organzied,a nd they're just plain expendable. Also, they're uniform or armor lacks camo or protection, making its practicality questionable. The XCOM grunts are just more successful and skilled. EDGE: XCOM

Melee: Well the Riot Stromtrooper does have a shield and a blaster compared to the XCOm's sword and grenade only. EDGE: SW

Support: Rifles always beat flamethrowers. Nuff Said. Besides, the Advent soldiers has more weapons and equipment in his disposal than the cumnersome flamethrower. EDGE: XCOM

Heavies: This is a tough one. While the Stromtrooper has more firepower, the XCOM heavy does have both offensive and defensive weapon. In the end, I think the Stormy may jsut have enough power to punch through the force field (which was never really impressive btw), and kill the XCOM soldier. EDGE: SW

Deadliest Warrior?

Although the XCOM soldiers has more weapon edges, and probably more practical equipment, the sheer brutality of the weapons and technology of the Stormtrooper may give them the win. The biggest factor in this fight is the experience that the First Order is bringing. The XCOM had a hard time fighting their own aliens in their own world. But the FIrst Order ahs been kicking all kinds of alien military assess, in a galxy level for decades now. That's something the XCOM Military can only dream of.
