User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/The "pro" season battle 3 Knight vs Winged Hussar/@comment-5232784-20121222030959

Dark interesting battle here Utter Noob. Let's take a gander here:

1. Short range/Melee

The Longsword will have the greater range and impact blow, but the Szabla saber will be shorter, curved, and a lighter weapon, meaning you can use it more quickly than the longsword. Due to this, the swords are tied.

However, the morning star has a greater range and more force in its blow than the war hammer, and also has spikes, making it more lethal. Due to this, The Knight has the advantage.

EDGE: Knight

2. Mid range

Halberds are more advanced weapons than lances (the blades of haldberds are larger than the metal points of lances), but the Hussar lance is enormous (over 13-nearly 20 feet long!). Though a bulkier weapon, the Hussar will be able to impact the Knight before vice verse could ever occur. The Hyssar wins.

EDGE: Hussar!

3. long range:

Both warriors wield crossbows, but the Hussar's crossbow can be fitted with a bayonet, making it a melee as well as a long range weapon. Edge once again goes to the winged Hussar

EDGE: Hussar

4. The Chivalry of the Knight will not be a major factor here: wings, however, will be. Coming from an age of medieval folklore, the Knight, upon seeing the Hussar, might think he is meeting an angel, and angels are not to be messed with: one killed 185,000 Assyrian troops who threatened Jerusalem (Story is found in 2 Kings 18:13-19:37, note specifically 19:35). Considering that Knights were Christians, this means too that the Knight might hold off on attacking the Hussar, giving the Hussar a chance to attack first. The Psychological factor here could prove very crucial

Edge: Hussar

Winner: I give this to the Winged Hussar: The advances in mid range, long range, and special weapons gives the Winged Hussar a major edge, to say nothing of the advances in metallurgy that would have occured from the time of the Knights to the time of the Winged Hussars, especially the latter years.

Winged Hussar Wins
