Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgine-AMERICA!


 * Close Range- Even. Kratos' magic blade is slow, but it's incredibly powerful and will easily tear through the Dragonborn's armor and equipment, while the Dragonborn's blade and shield will be a poor match. The speed afforded by the Dragonborn's weapons allow him a bit more leway to deal damage, but Kratos' superhuman durability has shrugged off far worse from far more brutal foes with similar weapons.


 * Mid-Range- Kratos. The Blades are faster in battle than anything the Dragonborn can throw at Kratos, bar none. The weapons are brutal, quick and do massive damage, and with additional magical properties, he should be able to tear through the Dragonborn at any range. Wuuthrad is slow, and not paticularly powerful, only gaining a significant edge when battling elves, while Kratos blades are brutally effective anywhere, anytime.


 * Long Range- Kratos. Kratos has been able to eat arrows for breakfast since the beginning- he has always known how to block, dodge and just plain stop the projectiles without even thinking about it, so the only way using a bow will be a major asset is if Dragonborn is stealthing when he fires, and even then, the arrow will do nothing to slow Kratos down and will immediately reveal the Dragonborn's location. The Zeus Fury spell is fired off at a crazy fast speed, making it near impossible to block, and it does much more damage than a basic arrow, being a massive bolt of divine lightning.


 * Special- Dragonborn. This some bullshit. You're going to give the Dragonborn every single spell and shout he has, and limit Kratos' own magic to next to nothing? Come on man. Eitherway, Dragonborn only takes this because of his spells. His shouts aren't the most useful for the most part, with only the summoning ones being a major asset- and even then they are on a global cooldown, which means it's going to be a very long time before the Dragonborn can follow up with a second shout.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Kratos. Despite the weapons being chosen to stack the favor in the Dragonborn's favor, Kratos arsenal is still more brutal, in more skilled hands by a better trained and experienced warrior with superhuman strength, agility, durability and power. Kratos is simply a much more powerful warrior in a league far removed from the Dragonborn.
