User blog comment:Pygmy Hippo 2/Sir Bors of Newcastle (Elgb333) vs. Justin the Leopard Hippo (Pygmy Hippo 2)/@comment-3189283-20180916103251

Let's see shall we

Close Range

Well first off the Nata isn't even supposed to be used as a weapon, it was an argicultural tool from a part of the world Justin isn't even from. This puts it at a disadvantage against an actual weapon like the Longsword. As for shields the Targe wins out for being designed to be used as both an offensive and defensive weapon while the Caetra Shield (which I have no idea why Justin has considering Carthage is thousands of miles away from where he lives) is purely defensive.

Edge: Sir Bors of Newcastle

Mid Range

Again, Justin is bringing a improvised weapon to the battle but unlike the Nata it doesn't even really work as a weapon, it's just an iron pole (based on what the description of it is) which won't do jack to Sir Bors' armour. The Halberd has way more options and is also, you know, an actual weapon so wins out handily.

Edge: Sir Bors of Newcastle 

Long Range

Finally Justin actually brings something that is actually going to be useful. The Hunting Bow obviously has a greater rate of fire than the composite crossbow but quite how well it will fair against Sir Bors armour I'm not so sure. The flaming arrows are useless in a tundra enviroment and the bearclaw arrows won't have enough penetration power to get through. The Bodkin arrows (again why Justin has them I have no idea) are designed to get through armour but modern tests have shown that while it would've gotten through the armour it would need to be used at a very close range for this to happen and even then the gambeson Sir Bors is wearing would probably stop it from being lethal. The Crossbow meanwhile will easily get through Justin's armour and has poison tipped arrows which will kill the Inuits even if the initial shot is only a minor wound.

Edge: Sir Bors of Newcastle

Special Weapon

The man-traps were useless in the Ancient User Tournement and they're useless here as well. They need time to set up, time which Sir Bors doesn't have based on the scenario and even if he did have time, the chances of someone blundering into them is slim. The Club is probably Justin's best chance of actually hurting Sir Bors as blunt force damage was one of the few things noted to be effective against plate armour. I question how effective it will be considering it's an inuit weapon not the heavy duty blunt force weapons the armour was traditionally weak against but it's still a damn sight more useful than the Man-Traps.

Edge: Justin the Leopard Hippo 

Support

First off the Arctic Bunyip isn't even a thing, the Bunyip is purely an australian cryptid. Secondly while certainly a formidable creature it spends most of it's time in and around water, not fighting in a small confined town. Finally and most importantly no matter how fearsome the Bunyip is, it is just an animal and like all animals has an aversion and fear of fire. The Greek Fire Siphon is clunky and situation yes but it will be a terrifying sight to Beast or Man and will likely scare Daisy away.

Edge: Sir Bors of Newcastle

Armour

Coating youself in Hippo Flesh does not make for an effective armour, it restricts your movement and doesn't actually provide a whole lot of protection (and once again where the hell Justin got hippo flesh from I don't know). Sir Bors' armour might be a primitive form of Plate Armour but it is still plate armour and protects him from nearly everything Justin can throw at him.

Edge: Sir Bors of Newcastle

Final Verdict 

Yeah is it any surprise, Sir Bors dominates this battle. His weaponry is, you know, actual weapon not tools and his armour makes him virtually invulnerable to what Justin can throw at him. Justin himself lacks an armour that will do anything to protect him against Sir Bors weaponry and his mismatch of weaponry and armour he shouldn't even have don't compliment each other at all. Furthermore Sir Bors is bringing with him highly trained and armoured knights against Justin's lightly armoured Inuit warriors and they'll make short work of them. While Justin's exploits against the French were admirable he's just utterly outclassed here in every way.
