Pygmy Hippo's "Penance for my last Zulu fight vote" Edges

Spear & Shield:The Aboriginal Hunting Spears are longer and can be thrown which guarantees it an advantage at range but the Iklwa was designed for going against a spear like that. As it's been explained better in previous Zulu fights, I'll cut to the chase and state that the Iklwa is also lighter and has an iron tip against something that's extremely likely to break like wood or fish bones on the Aboriginal Hunting Spears. The Aboriginal Shield is probably more lethal than the Ishlangu and at the very least more durable, the Zulu shield was used for combat as well to knock foes off balance or take their shields away. The Ishlangu is also lighter and at the very least, covers as much as the Aboriginal Shield so combined with the superior spear, it's clear who's getting this edge. Edge:Zulu

Long-range:The Assegai is the faster weapon due to requiring no setup and is probably lighter along with being a better weapon for melee combat, a spear beats a saw. On the other hand, the Woomera likely has a greater range and power due to being a spear thrower which gives throwing spears more velocity and could possibly even be used as shields in combat. But I doubt the Assegai isn't going to have any problems killing most of the time and I doubt the Woomera could block a thrown spear effectively anyways. Edge:Zulu

Short-range:The Waddy is longer and can destroy shields but the Zulu Axe is, as Tybalt stated below, more versatile, made out of iron which is superior to stone and quartz, and of course, sharp>blunt. Edge:Zulu

Special:The Iwisa can be used for melee combat but I can't find anything on it's effective range so the lighter Boomerang that is also sharpened takes this edge. Edge:Aboriginal

X-Factors:In Experience, the edge goes to the Zulu Warriors as their kingdom was not only larger than any Aboriginal Australian Warriors territory but they also did much better against the British army. In Training, the Zulu Warriors take the edge once more as even basic military training is better than hunting training. Edge:Zulu

Final Verdict:The Zulu Warriors have this fight pretty handily with their superior weapons in almost every category and complete control of the X-Factors. The Boomerang is a good weapon but it's not a game changer and it isn't getting around a shield or possibly even beating a thrown spear like the Assegai. The Aboriginal Australian Warriors are good hunters but when it comes to fighting, the Zulu are much better.

Winner:Zulu Warriors
