Lord: The two most iconic lords of Fire Emblem duke it out in this battle (yes, I know I'm ignoring ones like Marth, Roy, Lucina, don't kill me), as Lyn and Ike compete. Oddly enough, I'm going against Leo here and casting my vote for Ike. There are points where I do agree, like Lyn having the better ranged option, but as great as that is, the versatility of the Ragnell locks it in for me. Bows are a nice option and with crit benefits it helps, but it lacks any sort of defensive abilities the moment it enters close combat which is going to end up being the primary form here and with Ike's speed, trying to take shots with a bow might end up working against Lyn. Based on what I can find, Lyn does not have any great feats with the bow, at least compared to her sword skills. Next is speed, Lyn is capable of creating afterimages and having the ability to basically teleport, but so does Ike. As shown below, Ike is just as capable of reaching teleportation level speeds. As for strength, Ike is superior in that he can match the Black Knight in single combat, a man powerful enough to demolish even fearsome foes like Ike's father, who was able to fell waves and waves of knights like they were children and then there's backhanding a lion man cause Fire Emblem. Lyn has great speed feats, but as does Ike and with greater durability and strength backing him up, he'll ultimately prevail against Lyn.

The Second: This is actually much more difficult as we have Soren who can both provide healing to his team while also being a ranged unit fighting against Kent who is mounted and has more weapons, although they're restricted to melee combat. I'm actually going to go straight out and go with giving these two a tie. Soren is a much better team player in this case being a tactician allowing him to offer advice during combat, whereas Marc is from what I assume not involved in the battle. Like previously stated, he's also a healer giving Ike's team an extra chance at surviving and with high magic, he can certainly deal tons of damage. Where as Kent is a much better fighter between the two. With a great variety of melee weapons allowing to counter all other melee classes and even has a throwing spear which is nice, although magic beats it out IMO as a ranged weapon. Hell, I'd even go as far as saying Soren is one of the best assets to Ike's team if not the best, but his glass cannon status makes him vulnerable if Kent ever gets a clear window of attack and while magic allows close range combat it'll be difficult once he's forced to engage in close combat. Even if Soren is casting a fucking tornado, it comes down to utility vs. combat, where I'm calling this even. EDGE: Even
