Kiribati Warriors: the most heavily armoured warriors in the Pacific who engaged in brutal tribal warfare and were clad in unsual armour

X factors 

Training 

Tlingit: 90 At age six a Tlingit boy would start training and living with their Maternal Uncle where every day from then on he would be made to wade into the cold water, staying out there as long as possible with out passing out. Once he was back on land his uncle would proceed to whip the boy with Alder branches to the point of bleeding, with the boys competing against each other by purposely shoving their faces into the strokes of the branch to demonstrate their strength. The boys were also made to run on long beaches carrying heavy pieces of drift wood, if they were to fall they would have to go back to starting point and start again. The boys were taught how to wrestle and how to use their weapons properly, they were also taught social lessons by their uncles so as to teach them self restraint and loyalty to the tribe.

Kiribati: 90 Kiribati would start training at age twelve where their hair would be cut by the fathers using shark toothed knifes, this was done while the boy is held face first next to a large fire, if he where to flinch his uncles would proceed to beat him with palm-frond fly swatters. Next they lit a torch over his head. The sparks from it fell on his naked skin. His uncles would brush away the bigger ones but let the other land and burn out. The boy could not move or complain. If he did the whole procedure had to be carried out again. The boy would then be taken to a remote hut to live while training with his Grandfather. The Grandfather gave him hard tasks and difficult duties to perform; cutting down trees, clearing the bush and carrying heavy stones. The old man wouldn't joke with him or allow any relaxation. It was his aim to create a strong warrior who could bring honour to the family.

Conclusion: I have given both a same score since both from a young age were beaten and moulded to be the perfect warrior for their tribe.

Experience 

Tlingit: 50 The Tlingit were a slave raiding people, the main reason for Tlingit conflict was to acquire slaves which they raided for all along the coast as far from Southern Alaska to California and as far inland as the Yukon. Along with that they battled the Russians and managed to stymie Russian expansion into Russia until the Battle of Stika. All in all the average Tlingit would have a decent amount of combat experience.

Kiribati: 50 The Kiribati themselves had their fair share of combat too. Ranging from one on one combat, to combat against other tribes or islands and against invaders. Kiribati wars were also particularly brutal with defeated army's and villages often been put to the Sword (Club) and ending in brutal massacres.

Intimidation 

Tlingit: 95

Kiribati: 84

While the Kiribati would look odd the Tlingit's armour was a lot more ghoulish looking, with brightly coloured exaggerated human faces carved into the helmet along side busts of snarling animals, that combined with with the stylised faces on the armour and shield, along with the full body armour itself could throw the Kiribati for a loop.

Unarmed combat

Tlingit: 50

Kiribati: 96

Yeah the Kiribati take this handily, while the Tlingit did practice wrestling the Kiribati have nine different forms of Martial Art, all of which focused on speed and can be described as a mixture of Wrestling and Karate, with many of these martial arts sharing similarities with Asian MA (minus kicking, no Kiribati MA involves kicking, for some reason.)

Endurance 

Tlingit: 95

Kiribati: 96

Both warriors spent their adult lives fighting for prolonged amounts of time in heavy suits of armour, although I gave the Kiribati a slight advantage since his armour was a bit lighter.

Audacity 

Tlingit: 90

Kiribati: 86

The Tlingit get this since they weren't too picky about who they attacked, wether it be a larger tribe or a Russian Fortress that is armed with cannons.

The battle will be one on one and will take place on a Kiribati Beach, the weather will be overcast and sligthly rainy.

voting will end on Friday the 10th
