Drayco90's Edgy Edges of EdgineAMURICA

*Close Range- Makhai. The Makhai's numerous arms will give them a direct advantage in combat, allowing them to attack in multiple directions, wield additional weapons and simply overpower their foes. The Xenomorph mouth is a deadly tool, but it's more of a surprise tactic that will be hard to use on the Makhai and won't be nearly as effective in this battle.


 * Mid-Range- Xenomorph. Kopis blades are fairly short and aren't nearly as long as the Xenomorph's tail, giving the Alien an edge in that category alone. The Xeno will be able to use it's tail much more effectively than the Makhai will use the Kopis, because the Alien is smart and stealthy, allowing it to cling to ceilings and scenery out of reach and sight and strike from the shadows, doing large amounts of damage before retreating back into the dark. Even if the Kopis can strike the Xenomorph, when the Iron of the blade meets Xenomorph blood, it'll melt right through the blade in seconds and the Xeno will be mostly fine from the blow, leaving a disgruntled alien and a weaponless monster.


 * Long Range- Even. The Xenomorph will be able to utilize the acid spit in a way similar to the tail, by using a stealthy hit-and-run approach that can do crippling damage to its unwary foe, but the balls of lava will be a destructive force that will easily give the Xenomorph pause. I don't see these blasts doing much in the way of direct kills thanks to the Xeno's speed, but the attack can and will easily burn out and destroy any kind of cover or hiding place for the Alien and will do major area-of-effect damage.


 * Special- Even. The Xenomorphs are stealthy, smart and their acid blood will make the main tactic of the Makhai self-destructive. That said, the Xenomorph will likely hurt itself in an attack on the Makhai due to it's magma skin, and its super speed will allow it to keep up with the alien. Both are hard to kill and will do major damage to their attackers.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Xenomorph. The alien is simply smarter, stelthier and more damaging. It may be critically wounded in the battle, but the deadly Lava Balls will be nonexistant if the Makhai can't see his foe until it's already on him, and the alien's acidic blood will absolutely destroy the Makhai. This is a close one, but I have to side with the Alien here.
