User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Ramsay Bolton (Game of Thrones) vs Zorzal Caesar (Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There)/@comment-3189283-20160218122139

Let's see shall we

Swords

Well they are both the same basic sword but the Westerossi Longsword is slightly longer so I guess I give it the edge.

Edge: Ramsay Bolton

Secondary

The Mace is a bone breaking weapon and it's blunt force trauma makes it effective against Zorzal's armour but it's also pretty slow to swing and easy to avoid. The Gladius is considerably quicker to use and has more variety as both a slashing and a stabbing weapon. That and cuts and stabs are nearly always more likely to be lethal than blunt force trauma.

Edge: Zorzal Ceaser

Spears

Both are a similar length but the Imperial Spear has those nasty looking hooks with which to disarm or trip up and opponent to leave them vulnerable to a counter attack.

Edge: Zorzal Ceaser

Polearm

Gotta side with the Halberd. It just has more options to attack with, with the axe, spear head and spike gives Zorzal and his men more options in battle whereas Ramsay and his men are restricted to a cleaving motion. The Halberd is also considerably easier to manoeuvre about due to it's lighter weight which is always key in polearms especially when they are the same length. Sure the Lochaber has a more devastating blow, but I'd argue that getting hit by either of these polearms is going to fuck you up anyway.

Edge: Zorzal Ceaser

Bows

I'd normally side with a bow over the crossbow but in this case I'm going to call it even. The Composite Bow obviously has the faster rate of fire and is being wielded by a more skilled archer to boot but I don't know how effective it will be against Zorzal's plate armour. The Arbalest may be much slower to reload yes but it's simple design makes it easy for even a casual user to get a good shot and it has the power behind it to get through Ramsey's chainmail.

Edge: Even

Armour

Both have chainmail but Zorzal also has plate armour is several areas such as he arms, chest and groin which will give that bit more extra protection.

Edge: Zorzal Ceaser

X Factors

Ramsey Bolton has an average of 68.3 whereas Zorzal Ceaser has an average of 75.

Edge: Zorzal Ceaser

Final Verdict

This should be pretty comfortable win for Zorzal. Ramsey has the slight edge up close with his longer sword but I don't think he'll be able to get that close with Zorzal's more effective Spear and Halberd keeping him at bay. Ramsey does have the advantage of combat experience as he actually goes out and fights as opposed to Zorzal who seems content to let others do his dirty work for him but this edge but the same cannot be said of Zorzal's men who have more experience against tougher opponents which will help them overcome Bolton's men who are much more used to guerrilla warfare than an open battle. His biggest advantage though is his armour which allows him to better defend against the weapons Bolton brings to the table.

Zorzal Ceaser: 3,000

Ramsey Bolton: 2,000
