User blog comment:Swg66/DW: Loser Bracket Fight 1: Viking vs Ninja/@comment-991605-20120128021644

Viking Sheilds are designed to be bashed, thats why the point is there. Defends from attack, goes in swinging. close range goes to the Viking. The hooking power of the mid range looses power against the steel helmet and mail armour. the axe, though, has better killing power. if the ninja misses, or doesnt do significant damage, the viking can charge in and counter. Not to mention throwing the axe as Vikings were known to do (with great accuracy) The blowgun generally wont have the power to break through the mail, or atleast not very effectively where as the Viking's dual purpose spear is effectivally more lethal. The Fransicsa Axe is designed to be thrown, and under a viking arm, very accurately. Vikings would typically charge into battle and throw them, wounding the target and then charging in for the advantage. the black egg will generally blind for a few moments, but the climbing claws really wont cut it. The Ninja's armour effectivaly nullifies stealth, clanking around. the Viking has a shield and helmet, giving huge advange against the other weapons.

At the end of this battle, the ninja's head will roll and the viking will shout: Af bardaga er dýrð "From Battle, Glory"
