User blog:So-Pro Warrior/Mass Effect Tournament Round 1 Battle 7: Matriarch Benezia vs. Mother Talzin

Okay Deadliest Fiction Users today on this Battle we are talking about two ladies who are both skilled in their abilities. We Have

 Matriarch Benezia vs. Mother Talzin 



Let's look at Benezia she is a powerful Asari biotic and is the spirtual leader among her people and her status as a matriarch, means that she has lived for almost a millennium. She is the mother of Commander Shepard's teammate Liara T'Soni and she was known and revered as a teacher of religion and philosophy. Somehow Benezia discovered Saren's plan to aid the Reapers, and decided to try and guide him down a less destructive path. But the influence of the Reaper Sovereign was too powerful and Benezia became enslaved to Saren's will. AGAINST! Mother Talzin she is the Dathomirian leader of the Nightsister clans of witches before and during the Clone Wars. Prior to the Clone Wars she was just a member of the Nightsisters BUT following the defeat of Mother Zalem in 31 BBY she then became responsible for uniting the Nightsister clans or coven and whereas previously, competing Nightsister covens had been ruled by a clan mother and a shaman, Talzin, holding both titles, was able to unite her warring people into a single coven, which thrived into the time of the Clone Wars. Both of these ladies never relied on weapons they both relied on their followers and their powers, and both have lived for hundreds of years or more. This battle might be very close.

Welcome to this Week's Battle Deadliest Fiction Users

On this week's Battle we look at the Abilities, and the Tactics of these two Ladies who rely on their abilities rather then weapons to see WHO IS DEADLIEST.

Matriarch Benezia: Mother of Commander Shepard's teammate Liara T'Soni and who is a powerful Biotic among her people.

OR!

Mother Talzin: Leader of the Nightsisters who assisted Count Dooku's former apprentice Asajj Ventress try to get revenger on her master for betraying her during the Clone Wars.

Okay when doing these Battles I like to take a look at the History of these Warriors

Matriarch Benezia: She is a very powerful asari biotic and spiritual leader among her people. When the evidence that proved Saren Arterius was responsible for the Eden Prime attack it also proved Benezia was working alongside him, which surprised those who knew her, as Benezia's actions seemed to be completely out of character. The reason being though was because she along with those who followed her on her mission to stop Saren were indoctrinated by the Reaper Sovereign. Benezia's position became something between Saren's advisor and his second-in-command.

THEN WE HAVE

Mother Talzin: A Dathomirian female, Talzin was a member of the Nightsisters prior to the Clone Wars. While birthing her first daughter, Talzin was struck with a fatal affliction, but was enlightened by the spirits of her culture and survived the incident. She subsequently became a shaman of the Nightsisters and eventually united the various Nightsister covens following the death of Mother Zalem in 31 BBY. Whereas previously, competing Nightsister covens had been ruled by a clan mother and a shaman, Talzin, holding both titles, was able to unite her warring people into a single coven, which thrived into the time of the Clone Wars. When Asajj Ventress was betrayed by her master Count Dooku she seeked refugee and help from Mother Talzin and the Nightsisters to help Ventress get revenge on her former Master.

Abilities
Both of these Ladies never relied on weapons rather rely on their own abilities during combat.

Matriarch Benezia was a Master with

Biotics Mother Talzin was skilled in the arts of
 * ability for some lifeforms to create mass effect fields using Element Zero nodules embedded in body tissues.

Personal Edge
Both are skilled in their abilities, both abilities are powerful in the right user, and both have both defensive and offensive capabilities.

 Edge Even

Both of these Warriors had their own tactics that they used when applying their abilities and followers

Benezia's Tactic

Stasis Freeze Enemy and get backup forces into Position Mother Talzin's Tactic
 * Example: Noveria: Battle on Peak 15 against Commander Shepard and his team

Using her knowledge of the Terrain and Environment of her Home Planet
 * Example: Battle of Dathomir (Clone Wars)

Personal Edge
Matriarch Benezia can use her tactic anywhere and everywhere where as Mother Talzin's tactic only applies to her own planet.

 Edge Matriarch Benezia 



Backup
Both these Warriors had loyal followers who would assist them in Battle

Matriarch Benezia had as followers

Asari Commandos The Commando's will be armed with
 * powerful asari biotics who form the elite of the asari military.
 * usually fight in small groups using guerrilla tactics.
 * Some asari commandos were among the first to be chosen as Spectres.

The M-8 Avenger The Asari Commandos also have Biotics of their own
 * Shot's Per Clip: 30
 * Accuracy: Moderate
 * Recoil: Moderate
 * Fire Mode: Automatic
 * Lift
 * Barrier
 * Throw

Mother Tazlin had many followers of

Nightsisters The Nightsister comed armed in with
 * embraced the usage of dark arts within their Force-driven Magicks.
 * These witches adopted a shamanistic culture that rejected the notion of "good" and "evil", and instead chose to call upon the twin energies of the Winged Goddess and the Fanged God in order to utilize their Magicks and communicate with the spirit realm.
 * They focused extensively on the art of casting Force illusions

The Nightsister Energy Bow The Nightsisters also attacked with the Nightsister Dagger
 * The bowstrings and arrows of the weapon were made of pure plasma
 * In the middle of the bowstring was a grip, so that the weapon could be fired without harming the user.
 * When running out of plasma arrows, the string could be used as a bludgeon, to blind or burn the enemy.
 * was a traditional weapon of the Nightsisters.
 * a normal sword with a long metal blade.

Personal Edge
Even though the Nightsisters Energy Bow is futurisitc the dagger is just a normal sword and their was a reason that guns dominate the future. The Asari commando's are more highly trained and have better weapons.

X-Factor Evaluation
When we look at these Warrios we have to look at important Factors like Mastery of their Abilities, Leadership, Extremism, and more and so on a scale of 0-100 with 100 be the Ultimate Warrior I will rate these Warrios based on their history.

Benezia-Talzin

 Combat Experience 

90-90

Edge Even: Both have been living for hundreds of years and thus have hundreds of years of Combat but don't fight that often.

Mastery of their Abilities 

100-100

Edge Even: Both are Mastery of their abilities with Benezia being skilled in Biotics and Talzin being skilled in Dark magic.

Leadership

100-100

Edge Even: Both have loyal followers and lead them with great respect.

Extremism

75-95

Edge Mother Talzin: Mother Matriarch never does anything to dangerous and never goes far in extremism. Mother Talzin on the other hand she would torture people with a lock of their hair and just tortute them and torture them even if they were on a differnt planet. Her torturing methods could even lead to death.

Operational Experience

95-85

Edge Matriarch Benezia: While Mother Talzin has travelled she only travelled to one place. Matriarch Benezia has travelled all over her Galaxy and so has experienced many different environments.

<p style="text-align: center;">Psychological Warfare

<p style="text-align: center;">75-95

<p style="text-align: center;">Edge Mother Talzin: Talzin and the Nightsisters were feared because of the way they used their Dark Magic in torturing, and other things they did with their Dark Magic.

<p style="text-align: center;">Terrain Familiarity

<p style="text-align: center;">55-95

<p style="text-align: center;">Edge Mother Talzin: Since the Battle will be taking place on their home planet they are used to the environment, and terrain of the place and as such will use that to their advantage.

Personal Edge
This Battle will be close but Mother Talzin gets this Battle. While her backup doesn't have the weapons the Battle is taking place on their home planet and as such can and will use their knowledge of the terrain and use the environment to their advantage.
