 * Close Range- Sovereign. Apocalymon's tentacles will do very little to no damage to Sovereign, while the "crushing tentacles" that keep popping up in these battles aren't really a weapon either- Reapers don't exactly go swatting at things with their feet. That said, Sovereign's tentacles could easily do massive damage to Apocalymon up close, while Apocalymon will be lucky to break through the surface of the Reaper's hull himself.


 * Special- Sovereign. The Reaper laser is incredibly powerful, and will rip through Apocalymon's armor and self in little to no time at all. The Geth Rocket Drones will also be a nusiannce, bothering and distracting the Digimon whil Sovereign prepares more laser blasts. Let's look at how effective each of Apocalymon's attacks are-


 * Virus Grenades- Outside of the unlikelyhood of a Reaper composed of numerous organisms and a sentient machine could possibly contract a virus from a Digimon that it couldn't defeat in seconds, the grenades are meant to delete an enemy- Sovereign can not be deleted, as it is not a digital entity. Well- I guess it /is/ but...you know what I mean, dammit!


 * Death Claw- I don't see one Digimon's attempt to "enforce it's will" on a Reaper going over so well for him...


 * Giga Cannon- I'm not sure what constitutes as a "superdreadnought" in the Digimon world, but this is certain to be the best weapon in Apocalymon's arsenal. This thing can do some damage, but I don't think it'll match the persistant damaging attack of the Reaper Beam.
 * Crimson Lightning- Another decent attack, but I don't see it doing a whole lot of damage to a Reaper. It'll probably wipe out the Geth Drones if it can hit them, though.
 * River of Power- This is a pretty decent one-shot laser attack. It won't do major damage, but it's probably Apocalymon's second best attack. It won't match Sovereign's rate of fire or damage, but it can still do some damage if persistant and lucky.
 * Deadliest Warrior- Sovereign. Sovereign is a more powerful warrior because he's got better weaponry, better "armor" so to speak, is faster, more durable and is far more intellegent. He will burn out Apocalymon's world and send him flaming out of the sky without a whole lot of effort.
