Weapons: Yeah im lumping the weapons together because it's quite weird to describe how they do against each other. This mainly has to do with Buck's stature as a weasel. This makes it much harder for Wander's weapons to be effective as they're going for such a small target. His sword's magic properties are essentially usless for anything that isn't a Colossus. It's just an ordinary sword here. Buck's knife while much shorter is much more suited for fighting Wander then him and his sword.If Wander was maybe carrying a dagger, it'd be better because it would force Buck to get in closer, and gives Wander more speedy attacks. But as it stands now, all I can see is Buck jumping all over the place, stabbing and slashing with his knife Meanwhile Wander is desperately tries to use much slower, more heavy sword in vain attempts to hit Buck, who will be fighting circles around him.

In terms of ranged weaponry, Wander suffers from a similar problem, but i'd argue it's even worse this time. At least while he's using his sword he can stay mobile. He can't do that with the bow,leaving him vulnerable to Buck's quick attacks. The smoke pellets don't have this problem and even though they're non-lethal, I believe they will serve Buck better in this fight. They provide an execellent distraction, throwing the enemy off and allowing Buck to close the distance and never stop moving. They also can provide a quick getaway, should things get dicey. The bow will always be a great weapon, but for this battle, it won't be nearly as reliable against such a small target, and also isn't even close to Wander's first choice as a weapon. He'll be using the sword much more often.

Buck's weaponry are not only much eaiser to use both seperate and in conjunction, but suit Buck's fjghting style greatly. Edge:Buck

Overall Yeah sorry Wander, but Buck's got this battle. Even if I ignore weapons, I can't ignore the fact that Buck is clearly the better warrior in skill, tenacity, and experience. Sure Wander can take down massive Colossi, but he literally has s magic sword to tell him exactly how to do it. Buck on the other hand, uses his own ingenuity and skill to take down larger opponents i.e. Rudy, the Pterosaurs, and the plant monster. He doesn't need the use of a weapon specifcally designed to make fighting easy. This also leads to experience, where Buck again stomps. He's fought a variety of different animals and plants in ingenious ways and has been doing it much longer than Wander has. Wander mainly fights massive, slow moving goliaths that have clear weak spots.Even in tenacity, Buck is clearly shown throwing himself into battle almost instantly and fighting to survive out in the wild, matching Wander's willingness to complete his goals. Buck has the more suitable weaponry for this engagement, and also has more skill and experience to back it up.

Buck:3500
