BeastMan14's "This...Is...GONDOR!" Edges

Primary: Aragorn. The Dory spear is a dangerous weapon when mixed with Leonidas's shield, but dangerous foes with shields are Aragorn's bread-and-butter. Andruil is much more advanced as a weapon, and it's far more versatile than the Dory. Aragorn will be able to outmanuever Leonidas and take swings at him all day, hard-pressing his foe to land a hit, with his more advanced weapon maybe even capable of piercing Leonidas's bronze armor far easier than the Dory will pierce Aragorn's mail.

Secondary: Leonidas. The Kopis is a lot bigger than the Elven Dagger, and while Aragorn has shown himself capable of throwing the dagger with decent accuracy, I doubt he'll throw it with enough force to pierce Leonidas's armor.

Ranged: Aragorn. When you fire a bow, you don't run the risk of losing it forever as a weapon. 'Nuff said.

Armor: Aragorn. Aragorn's steel plate armor is a tremendous advantage for him, as Leonidas's weaponry will struggle to pierce it while Aragorn will be able to fairly easily get through Leonidas's bronze armor. I'd mention the Aspis, but I've already talked about Aragorn's skill fighting sword and shield wielding enemies.

Back-Up: Even. The Gondorian soldiers are better equipped and armored than the Spartans, but the Spartains are more trained and usually better organized than the Gondorian troops, making this an even edge for me.

X-Factors: Aragorn. While Leonidas takes the X-Factors by the skin of his teeth, he only wins due to greater brutality on his part, which doesn't matter in a fight like this since both warriors are seasoned killers. Aragorn is much more experienced and skilled, X-Factors far more important than brutality or training, enabling him to take the edge here.

Deadliest Warrior: Aragorn. Aragorn takes this not only because of his superior skill and experience, but also due to his superior tactics and leadership. Leonidas's tactics at the Battle of Thermopayle were admirable, but largely simplistic, and he was ultimately killed in that battle. Aragorn's shown remarkable skill as a leader, and he's shown himself capable of turning the tide of battle with his tactics alone. Due to this, and his superior weapons, he takes this win. Overall Score: 600-400
