Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Fate/Regular Dudes"

7th Place: Harald Hardrada

Harald's lack of ranged weapons is what gets him placed so low here. While I see melee skirmishes as generally being more of the norm in this scenario, Harald has no way to take down enemies at a range when nearly all of them have a bow or better in one way or another. That said, he doesn't fare that poorly in armor and experiance, but that won't help him much if he finds himself at a distance he cannot close. I mean, sure, he can throw his spear, but that's not even close to a good bow.

6th Place: Genghis Khan

Despite being one of the most notable warriors here in terms of pure combat experiance, Genghis will be very much out of his element here. He is ill-suited for close combat and especailly not interiror combat, and won't work well with the forested environment he's in especially since that can hurt one of his best advantages with his main weapon; range. I'm assuming he won't be mounted for this battle, which will also really hurt him; unless he can take out foes at a distance reliably, which I doubt, his lack of stroger armor armor to help mobility will generally hurt him more in this Free for All.

5th Place: Rashid ad-Din Sinan

I only see Rashid lasting this long because of stealth, but from what I read about him, I doubt he has enough experiance in stealth and a strong enough arsenal to truly shine here. He just doesn't have enough information on him; his only notable assassinations were done through poison, and while he certainly had some combat experiance and assassinated opponents with his given arsenal here, I have to assume it is on the lower end, not nearly enough to take out seasoned warriors on the alert. His entire lack of armor means that one slip up will kill him, and while I see him getting past the very beggining of this fight, he'll get found out with certainty.
