User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Death from a far: BX Commandos (Star Wars) vs Kig-Yar (Halo)/@comment-3189283-20191218101050

Let’s see shall we

Sniper Rifle

There isn’t really much information on the CIS Sniper rifle which makes comparisons between the two hard. I guess the Type-51 is more portable because the CIS seems to only be used while prone and the Type-51 can be used on the move. And since the CIS doesn’t have any other information on magazine size or even what round they are using that’s the only tangible edge I can give so I guess the Type-51 wins.

Edge: Kig-Yar

Mid Range

The Needler is packing the more powerful punch here, largely because if you manage to get enough needles into someone it explodes. It also has the accuracy advantage because of it’s homing function although this is only at fairly close ranges. The Blaster Rifle meanwhile has a massive ammo pool of 500 shots so there is no danger of their running out of ammo, unlike the Kig-Yar who only have 30 needles max. The Needler also doesn’t have a great range, as previously mentioned it’s homing function only has a certain range and outside of that range the size of the needles means they don’t travel far. The Needler is also not very effective against energy shields requiring the user to actually hit their opponent in order to get the explosion.

Come to think of it I don’t even know if the crystals even explode on non-organic materials so it might not even do that to the BX Commandos which would take away one of the Needler’s main advantage. The Blaster Rifle seems to be the more reliable weapon and with a much larger magazine to boot.

Edge: BX Commandos

Melee

Gotta side with the Energy Cutlass because it’s made of, well, energy whereas the Vibrosword is just made of metal. There isn’t really much else to say to be honest.

Edge: Kig-Yar

Shield

This is an easy edge for the BX Shields as it does everything the Point Defence Gauntlet does but better. It covers more of the body, can resist more damage and the BX Commandos can simply phase their weapons through it to fire and keep themselves safe. The Kig-Yar’s shield has gaps for the user to fire their weapon around and these are obvious places to aim to hit them, not to mention that the blasters will quickly deplete it and leave the Kig-Yar defenceless.

Edge: BX Commandos

Final Verdict

The BX Commandos have this one in the bag. They have the better equipment overall with the better main rifle and the superior shield which allows them to soak up most of what the Kig-Yar can throw at them. There isn’t a whole lot to go on when it comes to the two warriors themselves, they both seem to be fairly even in respect to fighting ability and combat use so it comes down almost entirely to the gear and in that respect the BX Commandos win.

BX Commandos: 3,500

Kig-Yar: 1,500
