THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR'S DEADLIEST EDGES:

Pugio vs. Seax: The Seax is longer, lighter, and has the slashing advantage over the purely thrusting Pugio, plus it'll allow Charlemagne to apply more brute force behind it.

EDGE: CHARLEMAGNE

Gladius vs. Joyeuse: This is comparing a regular sword to the legendary Joyeuse. The Gladius is okay but Joyeuse is legendary in its prowess and killing power.

EDGE: CHARLEMAGNE

Hasta vs. Lancea: Yeah the Lancea can be thrown but in the end the Hasta's extra length, armor-piercing power, and heavy counterweight will get it the extra kills in the long run.

EDGE: JULIUS CAESAR

Pilum vs. Fransisca Axe: The Fransisca Axe may be smaller but it's deadly flying through the air. The Pilum is good as a javelin but it doesn't have that extra punch I'd like to see for a projectile weapon that the Fransisca Axe has.

EDGE: CHARLEMAGNE

Dolabra vs. Spiked Club: The Dolabra can pierce armor but it's clumsy, large, and unwieldy. Still, the same can be said for the spiked club. Both weapons are large and cumbersome so I must call this comparison...

EVEN

Overall Winner: Julius Caesar

Yeah, yeah, Charlemagne got more edges but Caesar is the conquering force of the Roman empire who devastated barbarian tribes like the Franks. I'm pretty sure Caesar will have enough know-how about how Charlemagne's fighting style will play out that he'll be able to counter-act and get the win. Close battle, but Caesar takes this one with 550 kills.
