User blog comment:Wassboss/The Origins of an Odyssey: Bayek vs Alexios/@comment-28716800-20191102125748

Battlefan237's Hooded edges:

Iconic:Hidden blade is a shitty weapon when you're not in an assasination mission. It introduces a nice little surprise factor, but since both warriors are familiar with assassins this factor is almost negligible. Therefore, the spear of Leonidas claim victory over the tiny-ass hidden blade due to its higher damage and physical enhancements it provides. Edge:Alexios

Sword:Alexios's sword is longer, but it is outshined in this battle by the khopesh's versatility which allows its user to not only deal direct damage on opponents, but also produce distraction and grab away defensive items. Edge:Bayek 

Blade vs. Blunt:I'm giving it straight to Alexios .

Bow:I can't really see any notable differences between these two weapons, with both of them being made of identical materials and serving similar purposes. Edge:Even

Special:Both armors are good. For Alexios his armor defends him against Bayek's khopesh attacks and provides nice overall protection. For Bayek his shield can be paired with his superior sword, thus forming a nasty combination of offense and defense, granting him with access to more options when it comes to close quarter combat, as well as shielding him from incoming projectiles when held properly. Edge:Even 

Overall:Bayek takes this in my opinion. While he isn't as strong as his opponent and has a lower score in the experience category, he makes it up for it with his training and expertise in covert assault. In addition, while he isn't as experienced as Alexios, he is still a very sophisticated warrrior, only granting his opponent a marginal edge in experience. Weapon-wise, while his iconic weapon of choice and his mace aren't really going to be effective due to Alexios's armor and helmet, his combination of sword & shield can defend him against the dory and hopefully allows him to scratch the area of Alexios's body that isn't protected.
