User blog comment:Geekboy27/All-Out Mythical War Tourney round 1: Xengrond vs Eilios/@comment-5232784-20130611234619

Okay boys and girls, lets get this on!

1. Short range

Xengrond's spiked tongue can stab and tie up opponents, a very effective weapon. yet unlike a regular blade, if you cut the tongue in half, you cause a serious, grevious wound. nevertheless it does have long range capability in the melee wepaons department (save for when an opponent throws a weapon, and in the case of warrior with superhuman strength like Elios and Xengrond, the distance these weapons can be hurled is definitely considerable!).

The Xiphos and Acinaces are effective in their own right, the Xiphos in particular being bigger than both the targ and the dirk. However, Xengrond has three short range bladed weapons opposed to Elios.

EDGE: Xengrond

2. Mid range

The Kopis loses to the mighty Claymore in terms of weight and range, and no doubt also has better steel, coming from a time centuries upon centuries upon centuries later than the age of the Greek kopis blade.

The Xyston is about 11-nearly 14 feet long, while the Dory was only 10 feet long; Xyston had the range superiority

A halberd with all bladed sides is a frightening weapon, and like any other Halberd would be a spear weapon, measuring 5-6 feet in length: the labrys Axe won't come close to rivaling such a weapon (though it could be thrown a greater distance).

EDGE: Xengrond

3. Long range

The javelin does NOT have the range and accuracy of the english longbow, and the Gastraphetes crossbow would neither have the range nor reload speed or butchery potential of the longbow, which slaughtered french knights like crazy during the English/French conflict known to all as the 100 years war.

Though Elios has 2-1 weapons advantage over Xengrond, the awesome range and slaying power of the longbow more than overcomes this handicap.

EDGE: Xengrond

4. Special

Elios wins here in spades, having a copy of a Holy lance, a fiery sword (which she controls fire two with her magic, so this will come in handy) and  nightshade invisibility. Xengrond fires back with a magic shield, but it is only a defensive weapon, is only one special weapon against three of Elios', and only protects from magic attacks, not from regular weapons (of which Elios has a large number).

5. Magic!

Xengrond's ability to mess with enemy emotions will come in handy here; such capability, combined with Elios being shaken over having revolted against God almighty, could throw off her aim in the long range department considerably.

However, Elios has a firery arua that offers great protection against enemy attacks, and the ability to control/manipulate fire: remember, Elios has a fiery sword.

Elios' weapons are more devistating, but Xengrond's is the perfect psychological weapon. This is a dead even situation.

EDGE: Dead Even

6. Strengths and x factors

Elios has superior training and experience (has battled for eons) and can fly: repeat that=FLY! The ultimate way to win a war is to take control of the wide blue yonder. She is stronger and faster as well; if the battle draws too close, Xengrond could eventually fall due to this power and speed superiority combo. plus, Elios is 8 feet tall, almost 2 feet tall than Xengrond. Superior size strength and speed...Xengrond will not stand a chance if this gets into a short range melee.

EDGE: Elios

Though Xengrond has better weapons, Elios has better special weapons, experience, size (she's 8 ft tall, as opposed to Xengrond's 6 feet 2, thus having longer reach) and strength, speed, and flight. She has even bested Titans for crying out loud.

Elios is the Deadliest warrior

ELIOS ELIMINATES XENGROND!!!!!!!!!!!
