User blog comment:Pygmy Hippo 2/Sir Bors of Newcastle (Elgb333) vs. Justin the Leopard Hippo (Pygmy Hippo 2)/@comment-27358240-20180916094801

Kazanshin's '''"Gah, why did nobody tell me you could make your own warriors!?" '''edges:

Close range: The nata is a cubbersome weapon that can't stab and wasn't made for battle in the first place. The longsword is longer, can stab, can be swung faster and the targe's spike is the icing on the cake. Edge: Sir Bors

Mid range: And iron pole vs a halberd. Do I need to explain? Edge: Sir Bors

Long range: Ah, bow vs crossbow. The eternal rivalry. IMO, the bow's overwhelmingly superior rate of fire and mobility gives it the edge over the devastating power and range of the crossbow. Edge: Leopard Hippo

Special: The mantraps take time to set, have to be placed in the exact spot where the enemy will be and aren't directly lethal. The war club is more mobile, can be used in direct combat and is more lethal. Edge: Leopard Hippo

Support: I love the fire syphon. I love fire. My name means "fire mountain god". There's almost nonthing I love more than fire. What do I love more than fire, then? A giant steelcrushing beast. Edge: Leopard Hippo

Armor: Hippo skin in tough, I'll give it that. But it's compared to steel? Yeah, skin vs steel, steel wins. Edge: Sir Bors

X-Factors: Bors is physically stronger, but Hippo is more durable. However, this durability will only take him so far. For experience, Bors takes it by a landslide. He's much better trained and fought much worse foes. Finally, for tactics, I guess I'll give it to Bors for his ruthlessness. Edge: Sir Bors

Conclusion: This is looking bad for Hippo. He doesn't have a good way to get past armor apart from his club and maybe his pole. His bow also won't do him much good against steel armor. Bors also dominates the X-Factors. Looks like Hippo stands no chance.

But, if you can't kill a guy, have your pet do it for you! Daisy, with her steel ripping strength and ferocity, will absolutely mess up Bors' battle. She's probably the sole reason why I'm giving the battle to Leopard Hippo, with her speed and strength being too much for the knights to keep up with.
