User blog comment:Appelmonkey/Rematch: Chrom vs. King Arthur/@comment-3189283-20190417125937

Let’s see shall we

Sword

Both are very similar weapons with both being basically unbreakable and also providing healing properties to their user. Excalibur however just seems to superior, preventing Arthur from bleeding passively rather than having to have it’s healing properties activated like Falchion and it also casts a blinding light which could have tactical uses.

Edge: King Arthur

Lance

Rhongomyniad certainly seems to have impressive killing potential but it’s not clear if the nine men it killed were wearing armour or not so it’s unclear if it would be able to get past Chrom’s armour. Gáe Bolg might also have similar problems against Arthur’s armour but it also provides defensive benefits.

Edge: Chrom

Ranged Option

It’s a fairly simple choice, Carnwennan never misses and has the power to cleave through someone whereas the Spear does not.

Edge: King Arthur

Armour

Chrom’s armour covers more of his body but aside from the Shield of Seals it doesn’t appear to have any special protective properties. Arthur meanwhile has Wynebgwrthucher which I imagine will be similar to Shield of Seals and also his unbreakable mail shirt. Arthur is also wearing a helmet to protect his head whereas Chrom isn’t but equally Chrom’s arms and legs are better protected due to his gauntlets and greaves. Still I think Excalibur won’t have much trouble getting through said armour whereas Chrom’s weapons have no chance against the unbreakable mail shirt.

Edge: King Arthur

Final Verdict

Arthur should win this battle fairly comfortably. The only equipment area he really loses out on is in lances but I imagine the battle will primarily be a sword fight and given he has the superior sword it gives him a huge boost. His armour provides a stronger defence although Chrom’s agility and the fact his armour gives better coverage negates that advantage significantly. Arthur is much older and well versed in battle than Chrom and should be able to overcome his younger adversary through the sheer durability provided to him by both his armour and Excalibur.

King Arthur: 3,500

Chrom: 1,500
