WanderingSkull's GraveDigging Tunes "The Imperials March" 

Sidearms: Its a dagger vs. a small sword in essence and despite the Pugio's concealable design and powerful stabs its going to fall short here. The greater surface area of the Dao factors into here due to the larger surface area = larger wound. EDGE: Liu Bei

Medium: The Gladius is going to win out here, now I know this sounds weird, but its mainly because of the shield and sword combo. The Jian is nice, but they have to get past the shield before hitting the foe behind it making it more difficult to deliver the kill. The Gladius on the other hand doesn't have this issue and can still deliver the killing blow without having to worry about the additional layer of defense minus the fact that they both have armor. EDGE: Septimius Severus

Long: Right off the bat, I'm eliminating what are the weakest weapons out of all of them. The Repeating Crossbow is useless, plain and simple. It has a neat fire rate, but have like no power behind it and will struggle to even do damage against armor or the shield. The Pilum is next due to its lacking range, but atleast having power behind it. The Hasta has the better design than the Qiang and in combination with Roman formation will dominate. The bows are basically the same thing here. EDGE: Even

Special: The Halberd has some serious power behind it and it will show. The shield will provide an effective defense against everything minus the Halberd which has power and range behind it. EDGE: Liu Bei

Deadliest Warrior: Septimus Severus- I'm going with the guy who only managed to nab one edge in this entire match due to his skill. Septimus had managed to increase an already powerful empire's might, but also faced opposition from five other Emperors and still won. Roman formation will also come into factor here as it will be effective in killing the Chinese troops. Liu Bei was tough, but also retreated and was defeated before despite having vastly superior numbers.
