Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess


 * Close Range- Shepard. The Omni-Blade is created in next to no time, is so incredibly burning hot that it will easily slice through and melt into the Cybermen armor and with it's diamond-hard blade, it will easily do major damage before it is disposed of. The Shock Attack simply isn't as effective, and is fairly easy for an actual figher to dodge or use the Cybermen's incredibly close range to their advantage.


 * Mid-Range- Cybermen. The Wrist Blaster is unlikely to be stopped by Shepard's kinetic barriers, and it doesn't burn through any notable amount of ammo quickly like the SMG, despite it not doing as much raw damage. It also seems to have an advantage in range, and is pretty accurate too, while the SMG is primarily a weapon for pray-and-spray.


 * Long Range- Shepard. The Avenger is more accurate, has a higher rate of fire and does more damage, even if the energy gun could get through the Shields, or even straight up ignore them.


 * Special Weapon- Shepard. This is pretty much the only weapon Shepard needs- it's an anti-tank gun that is possibly one of the strongest snipers in gaming, and will one-shot each and every Cyberman regardless of range. The darts can only affect Shep if he's not wearing his helmet and they hit him in the head, assuming the Kinetic Barriers don't just shrug them off.


 * Deadliest Warrior - Shepard. This is going to be a pretty easy win for the Commander, who can outhink, outmove and outgun the Cybermen.
