Who..is..Deadliest?!? To find out, our world class fighters are testing history's most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we see what happens, when two warriors go toe to toe. No rules, no safety, no mercy. It's a duel to the death, history will be rewritten, but only one will be crowned the Deadliest Warrior.

Celt
The Celts were a warlike tribal society, similar to North America's native tribes. Each tribe was different but, they all spoke a similar language and had similar military tactics. Some records showed the Celts were headhunters, who would sever the heads of their victims, dip them in quicklime to preserve them and hang them up around their houses or on their chariots. The Celts preferred to fight on foot and their leaders would initiate combat on chariot before fighting on foot.

The Celts were known to have fought and allied themselves with various foreign armies such as the Greeks, Carthaginians under Hannibal and, on some occasions, the Romans. The Celts became some of the most successful of Rome's enemies, being some of the few "barbarians" to present a challenge to Roman invasions. The empire was never able to truly conquer Great Britain, and the Celts' lands would not fall until the arrival of the Saxons in the Dark Ages.

Igorot
Cordillerans are the people of the Cordillera region, in the Philippines island of Luzon. The Igorot form two subgroups: the larger group lives in the south, central and western areas, and is very adept at rice-terrace farming; the smaller group lives in the east and north. The tribal groups formerly practiced headhunting.

Cordillerano, or Cordilleran, is a term used for the people of the hill tribes of Luzon, Philippines, who are residing in the Cordillera and Caraballo mountains. This term became more common after a perceived negative stigma in the term Igorot, which had been incorrectly connected to backwardness and inferiority. In addition, not all Kalinga and Ifugao accept the designation of Igorot.

The Cordillera region of Northern Philippines is the ancestral domain of the Igorots. It comprises the six provinces of Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, and Mountain Province, plus the lone city of Baguio.

My Edges
Short: Edge Celt: A Longsword vs machete, no explanation needed.

Mid: Edge Igorot: The Igorot's spear is shorter, easier to use and his side hooks can deal more damage, while the lancea can be thrown due to it's lighter weight, that means you lose your spear in the process.

Long: Edge Celt: His bow, while simlar to the Viking's bow has more range and probably a more powerful shot, and while mostly used as hunting tool, it's still surpasses the Igorot's pana.

Special: Edge Igorot: The axe always beats the club.

X-Factors
Armor: Celt 70, Igorot 20: The Igorot has a shield made of leather and wicker, while the Celt has a leather armor and a giant wooden shield similar to the scutum.

Brutality: Celt 95, Igorot 95: Both are ruthless, bloodthirsty warriors, stopping at nothing to kill their enemies and take their heads, so it is impossible to decide if the Iron Age most ruthless barbarian can top the South Philippines most deadly headhunter.

Agility: Celt 76, Igorot 87: The Celt is wearing armor and carrying giant heavy weapons for this battle, desepite that he is also very agile despite being bigger and carrying heavier weapons. The Igorot is more agile due to his lack of armor, and small weapons in his hands, another factor is that the Igorot hunted his victims in the jungles, mangroves and bushes in the Phillipnes, and needed to be very agile for that.

Physicality: Celt 94, Igorot 81: The Celts are large and muscular, and overall physicaly strong people of Iron Age Europe. The Igorot are also large, but not as big or physicaly fit as the Celt, add the fact that the Celt can swing his heavy weapons with ease, while the Igorot prefers lighter weapons in his hands.
