User blog comment:Leolab/Third tourney round 1: Cecil Harvey vs Hildegard von Krone/@comment-4661256-20111224233244

When looking at the Shield and Short sword, if it's just a plain shield vs. a plain *if named* short sword, then the shield's offensive/defensive combo is a much better choice. Advantage, Cecil Harvey

Axe vs. Spear: Well, the way you put it, Frischer Himmel is just a named spear, with no powers, but even so I like the spear's reach and light-weight, quick attacks. However, the axe hits a lot harder, even if it is slower and it can put trauma through armor with powerful blows. Advantage, Cecil Harvey

Throwing Spear vs. Ragnarok: A throwing spear (innaccurate and the opponent can throw it back at you) or a holy blade? Advantage, Cecil Harvey

White Magic vs. Critical Finish: If Cecil can heal himself with this White Magic, he'll never get critical. Hilde will never be able to use that power. Advantage, Cecil Harvey

Basically my edges sum it up, but Cecil has a shield and magic for defense, and a big axe and Ragnarok to put on the pain. Hildegard is good but kind of seems like a "paper warrior" - she's only good with an army. On her own, she crumples against someone better.
