Omnicube1's Cubeliest Edges

Close Range: Reyes' combined cinqueda and side sword would fair much better than Las' Roman dagger considering Reyes' weapons will be able to inflict much more damage and have greater piercing power than Las' weapons. Edge: RR

Mid Range: Depending on the blade of the throwing spear, it won't do anything against RR's curved armor. However, I do like its option to be thrown or used as a stabbing weapon. The katana won't do anything against RR's armor either since it's primarily a slashing weapon. The halberd is great, but the throwing spear will be able to do more harm considering it has that ranged advantage. Las barely gets the edge. Edge: Lasmoore

Long Range: The repeating crossbow is not a good one-on-one weapon. It's meant to be used in larger numbers. Because of that fact alone, the composite bow is much better overall, even if it can't pierce Las' lorica segmentata. Edge: RR

Special: Tough, tough decision. The shield brings defensive power, but the grenado brings offensive power. But as the old adage goes, "A good defense is a good offense." The shield will definitely protect Las from the grenado's blast if it lands in front of him. Plus the shield is a great bashing tool. It might not kill in one blow, but the sheer power can daze an enemy and allow Las to hack RR to death. Edge: Lasmoore

Army Composition: Another tough choice. RR brings mobility and cavalry, while Las brings hardened packs of infantry who rely on formations. However, Las is bringing in a greater range advantage into the fight with crossbowmen, Huns, and Apache warriors who are all masters of bow/crossbow combat. Las can easily deploy an early form of the pike-and-shot formation which will work great against RR's primarily cavalry army. Edge: Lasmoore

The Deadliest Warrior: Lasmoore, ReyesRebels is definitely the better warrior if this was a one-on-one fight. However, this is a battle between leaders and their armies making Las the victor. His army is just more versatile, especially with their ranged weapons. This will be a bloody affair, Las will gain 520 kills to RR's 480
