User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Agnes Chevalier de Milan (Familiar of Zero) VS Yatorishino Igsem (Alderamin on the Sky)/@comment-3189283-20180526215350

Let's see shall we

Primary Weapon

Seeing as how it is supposed to be a cavalry weapon, I am skeptical on how useful the Katjavarna sabre will be. I'm sure it will work okay as a infantry weapon but is supposed to be used for downward slashing movements and have very little in the way of thrusting ability. The Longsword is a better fit for this battle because of it's greater versatility but it's not just the Longsword and Sabre we're comparing here. The Parrying Dagger gives Yatori another dimension to her offence and defence, giving her both another weapon to use while attacking and also a second defensive option when defending. This is enough to make up for her lack of a proper infantry sword and ties up the edge.

Edge: Even

Ranged Wapon

Both have a similar range and rate of fire but the Musket has both greater stopping power and a faster travelling projectile, making it harder to dodge or block. Furthermore Agnes actually uses her Musket fairly often whereas Yatori barley uses her crossbow so the likilhood of her actually usuing it effectively is pretty small.

Edge: Agnes Chevalier de Milan 

Special Weapon

The Fire Spirit is really more of a support item than an actual weapon, seemingly to be used mostly to draw out enemies or increase the lethality of existing weaponry. Setting fire to the area really doesn't seem like much of a help to be honest and as mentioned above Yatori doesn't even use her crossbow, making that function basically useless as well. The Grenade however is hardly much better, being just as likely to blow up prematurely or not blow up at all as it would working as intended.

Edge: Even

Final Verdict

This is a battle of small differences. Agnes has the better blade for an on foot battle and has a distinct advantage with her ranged weapon where her opponent's lack of experience fighting at range working against her. Yatori meanwhile brings a greater physicality with her greater strength and agility as well as a good defensive and offensive balance with the Sabre and Dagger combo. Agnes has been serving as a soldier longer but Yatori seems to have faced the greater threats in her shorter fighting career. Very tough to call but in the end I give a very slight edge to Agnes. Her greater skill in ranged combat is the only advantage that either of them has over the other overall and so out of several battles that will give her enough of an edge to win out more times.

Agnes Chevalier de Milan: 2,550
