Tanto and Black Eggs vs Cloak and Dagger

- This is an easy win for the cloak and dagger. The Roman pugio has the larger and more intimidating blade while the tanto is a tootpick with a very slim blade. The Pugio can slash and thrust while the tanto is made purely for thrusting. The black eggs are effective but lacks versatility as it can easily break in tense moments and needs to hit the eyes in order to work properly. While the cloak will distract and stun the opponent the moment it is thrown at his face. The cloak can alse be used for defence and can also kill.

Shuriken and Blowgun vs Sling

The sling needs to hit the head to actually kill but is weak when it hits any other part. The shuriken and the blowgun will make their opponents bleed the moment they hit, and the blowgun has that poison that can kill.

Kusarigama vs Poisoned Sicae

The poisoned sicae for the win. The Kusarigama's sickle is the only deadly and effective part here and it made purely for clumsy slashing. That metal sphere may look dangerous when it hits, but you need to spin it around to actually cause pain, which takes time. It's also very easy to dodge and get past that chain. Up close, the sicarii's knife is the more lethal weapon here because it has the longer blade, can slash and stab, and has that poison which makes every wound fatal. Unlike the sickle, the sicae can be used to block and parry melee weapons.

X-Factors

Although the ninja has the edge for metallurgy and training due to their multiple professions. They seldomly goes into battle, preferring to do spy works. The Sicarii is more experienced and brutal in a physical confrontation, whose sole purpose are to kill as assasssins and guerilla fighters.

Overall: Sicarii

I'm going against the tide here and vote for the sicarii. They have the simpler and more practical weapon here agains the ninja's very complicated arsenal that takes time to master. The ninjas only kill when they are ordered or paid for, but most of the time do more espionage than actually killing. The Sicariis killed 24/7, either they are assassinating in public festivals, or assassinating in the countryside as effective guerilla soldiers.
