User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/Season 4 battle 2 Conquistador vs Musketeer (rematch)/@comment-4098900-20130217232229

Hawk's Hawk-Eyed Edges:


 * Short Range:  The Rapier is longer, a bit heavier though.  The Ropera can effectively slash and thrust.  The Rapier could snap and is not effective on horseback.

Edge: Musketeer

*Mid Range: The Alabarda is a bit longer and it weighs less. It could potentially be swung faster and cut the Pike in half.

Edge: Conquistador

*Long Range: The Arequbus has a longer range. It's not really going to be accurate at that range through, but I guess the Flintlock won't be that accurate at it's maximum range too?

Edge: Conquistor


 * Special: The Crossbow has a much longer range then the pistol and is far more accurate.  Bow&Arrows and Crossbows are almost always superior to black powder weapons.  However you must consider the effectiveness of the Crossbow against Musketeer armor.  The Conquistadors will have to go for headshots.  It will be difficult.  But I think they can do it some of the time.

Edge: Tie

Edge: Conquistador

Overall Winner: Conquistador. They take every weapon edge. There long range weapons have a much long range and are more accurate.
