Elgb's "ARE YOU SEEING THIS TYPE-MOON? THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE!" EDGES!!!

Short: I agree with what the others below me said. Most of Beowulf's feats in swordsmanship (knifesmanship?) were because of his immense strength, not much because of magic or quality of blade. His baldes have failed him many times before and he had to resort to good ol' fashioned bersekrer rage to get the job done. King Arthur has been noted to be a very talented swordsman, even better than the brawny Beowulf. Add also the fact that Arthur's carrying the excalibur which was magical in nature that allows it to summon blinding light (like Gandalf the frigging White) and is also unbreakable. I've also read that the excalibur can also cut through almost anything but I'm not sure (there are tons of versions of the classic Matters of Britain stories out there). But still, the better sword beats plain brute strength. EDGE: Arthur

Mid: Now we're in the realm of magic here. A bit tough to decide upon since swords does have some advantages over lances with their larger surface area and the ability to block and parry. But the spear also has that still important range advantage. The Giant Sword is a very large sword and it finally manage to kill a large beast unlike Hrunting. But again, this is probably because of Beowulf's strength rather than quality of blade. The 2 meter long spear can strike at Beowulf before he can get close, and its poison ability is going to kill Beowulf the same way Beowulf was killed by dragon poison. EDGE: Arthur

Long: A tough one. The bow has the longer range but Arthu's throwing knife can cleave through people and never misses (like the guns of the Saint of Killers). Very hard to decide ebtween the two, but I think I'm gonna go with the knife. Beowulf's never been known to use his bow much, and there's that chance he's gonna miss. Arthur won't have that problem. EDGE: Arthur

Shield: Yep no contest Arthur again takes this. The iron shield can tank a dragon's fire but its nothign more than ordinary iron shield. It certianly did not protect Beowulf in the long run. Arthur's shield is magically empowered, and besides kite shields are larger and succeeded the round shields. EDGE: Arthur

Armor: Arthur has a helmet. Beowulf does not. Nuff said. EDGE: Arthur

Deadliest Warrior?

I'm gonna be honest, I think Beowulf is the most overrrated mythological warrior in this wiki by far. His victory over Arthur and Hercules is pure garbage so its a good thing justice is finally being served here.

If you've seen my weapon edges you'd know that King Arthur takes this hands down. Beowulf maybe stronger and more durable but he lacks the magical weapons and superiority of Arthur Pendragon. Besides Arhut is no slouch when it comes to stregth since this guy basically killed over 960 men during the Battle of Badon with just one cahrge, so if there's anyone here who's gonna give Beowulf the run for his money, its Arthur. I'll toss a coin to Beowulf since he's probably taken down more monsters that are more fearsome than Arthur, but the Briton King has fought more battles and defaeted more cunning warriors than the Geat. Sorry Beowulf but the only "talons in the darkness and cries in the night" that you'll heard is yours once you get your ass beat by Arthur.

''Fun Fact: Its actually interesting in that King Arthur is a Native Briton who fought the Anglo-Saxon invasion, and Beowulf himself is a hero in Anglo-Saxon mythology. While the Saxons did defeated the Britons, I don't think the same can also be said here in this battle.''
