Swords: The Khophesh's design leads to a greater amount of energy being transferred in the slashes, but its also going against a shield. The Gladius is double-edged, so either side is pretty good for slashing and great at stabbing your opponent. The Gladius is longer and can go through Ramses with ease, while the Khophesh is suffering from its design which is ineffective against the shield meaning he'll have a harder time landing a killing strike. EDGE: Marcus
