Close: The Jackals are oddly going to get the edge here as their weapon is an effective means of defense against both firearms and the Static Pike. The Jackals can use this as mobile cover as they continue to use their weapons and kill their opponents. The Jackals know the method of tactical retreat and will fall back to recharge their shields and continue fighting. The Static Pike can stun, but it will have to get past the shield. EDGE: Jackals

Medium: Seeing as the Geonosians lack armor to protect themselves against the Needler's ammunition, I can say its safe to say they are screwed. The Needler tends to be more accurate and has the faster rate of fire compared to the carbine. Combined with the explosive capabilties and that is a winning combo. EDGE: Jackals

Long: The Sonic Blaster is basically an upgraded Carbine, but that isn't enough to get it the edge. The Beam Rifle has superior range and greater lethality based on what we've seen as it can take down a shielded Elite in two hits. And since the Geonosians lack shields, I can imagine that one good shot could take them down. EDGE: Jackals

Special: The Elite Beam Rifle sounds like a horrible weapon and it shows due to what it takes to use it. Based on the match only one warrior in the entire group can use the weapon and it takes and it drains the energy of the user. This factors into fatigue and weakens the user for the other opponents on the battlefield. The Needler is lighter to deploy and doesn't require draining the user's energy for its usage. EDGE: Jackals

Deadliest Warrior: Jackals- If you've seen the weapon edges it more than becomes clear that I think the Jackals have an obvious edge. They're faster, more skilled, ruthless in their approach, will take cover to allow their shields to recharge and are more durable. The Geonosians can fly, but this also leaves them open to the snipers of the enemy team. The Jackals also have the bonus of shields to protect them from harm while they return fire.
