Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgines-AMURICA!


 * Witch-King vs. Achilles


 * Close Range- Witch King. The Morgul Blade is a deadly weapon because outside of being a good blade on its own, the weapon has a persistant damaging effect over time, which can easily corrupt Achilles from the inside, maybe even turn the hero (...kind of...) into a wraith. Achilles' sword is a longer weapon, but it doesn't have the raw killing potential that the Morgul Blade has, which gives it the edge.


 * Mid-Range- Witch King. The Nazgul Sword may not be as long as a basic spear, but it's still a deadly blade against a spear. The Nazgul Sword can be lit on fire at the Witch-King's will that would easily allow it to shatter or burn through the wooden spear, and the weapon won't do much on the Nazgul's full body armor- splintering on a hard jab or simply not having a deadly enough effect to slow down the Witch-King.


 * Long Range- Achilles. The crossbow has a much longer range than the Black Breath and can really pester and slow down the Witch-King. The Black Breath is another incredibly devestating ability, but it doesn't have long enough range to compete with the bow, which will allow Achilles to keep ahead of his foe and out of range of the breath.


 * Special Weapon- Even. The Nazgul Flail is a crushing weapon that has been shown to easily shatter shields and smash armor apart, meaning that Achilles will have much less protection against the weapon, which can be used much faster than the Greek's own weapon. The battleaxe  may be slower, but has more range and has potential to disarm.


 * Deadliest Warrior- The Witch-King of Angmar. The Witch King is a master of psychological warfare in addition to overpowering force. His weapons will do more raw damage to Achilles than the Greek can deal out in turn, and his persistant status effects from the Morgul Blade and the Black Breath, in addition to his horrific scream and terrifying prescence will allow him to take the battle with ease.


 * Aragorn vs. Gilan


 * Close Range- Even. Both are knives with about the same range and attack power, in the hands of men who can use them brutally.


 * Mid-Range- Aragorn. The heir to the throne of Gondor has shown his skill with using his blade to completely deny throwing knives in the past, and his skill with a sword is damn near unmatched. Anduril is a magical blade, and has been shown to do incredible feats like cutting through Sauron's armor in a single swipe, and in the hands of a master swordsman there will be no chance for Gilan to keep up.


 * Long Range- Even. Both men are expert marksmen, and are essentially wielding the same weapon.


 * Special Weapon- Gilan. The sword may not have the range of a throwing knife, but it's a much more reliable weapon that can deal much more damage.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Aragorn will take this battle with ease- his skill with a blade far outmatches his foe, and he's no slouch with a bow either. He'll easily outfight and outlast his opponet.


 * Katniss vs. Owain


 * Close Range- Owain. The Awl is a tool, not a real weapon, and I don't see it doing much to Owain or his armor. The War hammer, on the other hand, will crush Katniss and cripple her in the first strike- possibly killing the unarmored, underage girl in a single sweep. Katniss is fast, and could probably keep out of the way of the War Hammer normally, but the Awl is not going to help her, and if she gets up close enough to use it in the fight, it'll be signing her own doom when she is greeted with a hammer to the face for her trouble.


 * Mid-Range- Owain. The Sword is longer and does more damage than a simple hunting knife. Owain will cut Katniss apart without hesitation, but her hunting knife will have a hard time getting to Owain, especially with the longer sword being swung or jabbed at her as she tries to close the gap. Once again, Katniss getting up close in this fight is a fatal mistake, and if she comes down to it, it'll cost her her life.


 * Long Range- Katniss. Katniss' only advantage is that she's an incredible marksman. She'll have an easier time moving around while unhindered by any kind of armor while needeling Owain with arrows from dozens of places as she quickly leaps about from hiding place to hiding place, allowing her to keep out of the range of Owain's vision. The only thing that Katniss can do to win this is to keep out of the way and fight from a distance, if Owain can close the distance or keep her from rabbiting long enough to use his own bow, then Everdeen is doomed.


 * Special Weapon- Owain. The Hand Cannon is a dangerous weapon that will obliterate Katniss easily, and has more range than the sword or the hammer. Katniss' Snares won't do anything to Owain while he can easily do massive damage if not one hit kill Katniss with his hand cannon.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Owain Glyndwr. Owain is a more experienced, better trained, more disciplined warrior who wields much better weapons that is more varied. Katniss isn't a warrior- she's a survivor, and she won't be able to fight off a real warrior like Glyndwr. Katniss' only hope is to keep the longest range possible and keep hidden, but a master tactician and skilled warrior like Owain will immediately realize this as well, and he'll be able to overcome this easily- taking advantage of facts like Katniss' lack of discipline, her head-strong nature, her lack of armor and her inability to fight up close. Katniss is simply out matched in every sense of the word.
