Undead RVD's "Probably going to be another god-damn Spartan victory, but oh well" Edges
Close Range: The Xiphos has the advantage of not having armor in its way, but the Broadsword is made of better metal, has greater reach, allot more power and is perfect at decapitating, and the Spartan does not have armor at the neck. I give my edge to the Broadsword.
 * EDGE: Berserker

Mid Range: This one is a toughy. The spear is much more simple to use but the Dane axe has allot more power and might be able to crack through the Spartan's body armor. I say even. Simplicity vs Power.
 * EDGE: Even

Long Range: They are both throwing spears. I say even.
 * EDGE: Even

Special: The Shield has allot more power and the seax will not break through it but the seax is more versatile (slash and stab anywhere) and much faster. I will give it to the shield, not for being the superior weapon but for being hard to get past.
 * EDGE: Spartan

Berserk vs Armor: The Spartan is better armored and better trained. Many would think this is the superior x-factor but it's limitations are something I find to be fatal flaws. The armor provides no protection to the neck and head, which is where the Berserker aims for the most as it makes things dead faster. The Sparta's training is good but only makes them good in formation combat. If they are split apart, they become easier to wipe out. The Berserker, on the other hand, has near superhuman physicality. It can easily overpower a Spartan in strength and can sprint crazy fast. They are not super durable but they can take WAY more hits before going down. They are even able to take blows that should render them dead, like an arrow to the head and or a giant spear to the chest. This makes killing them really hard. What's better for them is that the Spartan typically aim for the chest. The Spartans will likely spear the Berserkers in the gut and the Berserkers will just keep going. They are like enraged wild boars that can be speared but it will keep going towards the hunter. The Spartans don't have boar spears so the Berserker will keep going, and once they are close enough, the Spartans are screwed.
 * EDGE: Berserker

Overall: I am going with the Berserker. The Spartan may be better trained and actually armored, the Berserker is vastly stronger, way harder to hurt and will just keep coming. Spartans are the most effective when numbering over 50 for a formation but 5 won't make for that effective a phalanx. The Berserkers should be able to plow through.
