User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/The "pro" season battle 5 Apache vs Ninja/@comment-5795750-20121226233216

BG1's "If You Go Down to the Woods today, You sure will be in for a surprise" Edges:

Short Range: Both weapons are very deadly in the hands of their users but the knife will have a blade made of a material weaker than the steel of the Kama plus once thrown it is rendered useless lest the Apache can pick it up fast enough

EDGE: Ninja

Medium Range: Ditto with the short range, plus I would add in the fact that the ninjato is a sword and thus has a longer blade

EDGE: Ninja

Long Range: While the darts of a blowgun can kill, the bow an arrow has a greater range and it can be easily reloaded

EDGE: Apache

Special: Now the ninja's return fire with their thrown projectile but as shown on DW, all the shuriken can do is inflict minor wounds if the target is moving or worst case scenario, the Apache has a broken rib and collapsed lung; the specialised arrows on the other hand can easily kill since it would also be used in conjunction with the bow and arrow

EDGE: Apache

X-Factors: While an Apache's war cry can strike fear into his opponents, it may not be effective against a ninja who was trained to not react with fear; however if it does work effectively, then a ninja's ability to strike back will be reduced

EDGE: Even

Overall Winner: Ninja because of his superior close and medium range steel weaponry and because they are agile enough to perhaps dodge any shot from a thrown projectile (except from an arrow if they can't spot the Apache bowman straight away; plus their martial arts moves may come in handy).
