User blog comment:Evil117/Arbiter (Thel Vadam) vs Urdnot Grunt/@comment-4552610-20130325112516

Undead RVD's "Meat Shield" Edges:
Close Range: Grunt's brute strength is a deadly tool but it will be slow and not that reliable. The Plasma Sword, on the other hand, is very fast and is much more likely to kill. It also has a longer reach, making it harder for Grunt to hit first.
 * EDGE: Arbiter

Mid Range: The Storm Rifle is a strong plasma assault rifle that can be used from a good distance and doesn't need reloading. It easily beats a single-shot shotgun that's useless at a long range.
 * EDGE: Arbiter

Long Range: The Covenant Carbine has more power behind each shot and can be used at a far greater distance. In long range combat, a sniper-rifle will beat a assault rifle, especially if the side that has the Rifle also has an assault rifle with them already.
 * EDGE: Arbiter

Grenades: I'm going with the Plasma Grenades. It has the benefit of being able to stick to its target and likely can do more damage.
 * EDGE: Arbiter

Armor: Arbiters' Armor grants a little more protection from projectiles and has energy shields to make him even more protected. Grunt relies on his own bodily protection and that will inevitably fail him.
 * EDGE: Arbiter

Overall: Easy win for the Arbiter. He is better trained, more experienced and has better tactics. He also has the superior weapons do to their greater reach and has the better armor do to being more protective against projectiles and has shields to protect him further.
