It'll be me, then Lt. Chard, then FTS. I'm going for my self because, other than the obvious reason, I have weapons that play into my highly mobile style, as well as armor that accommodates it while giving good protection. My only disadvantage appears to be in special weapons, where the other two competitors have polearms and another weapon while I have two one-handed weapons. Plus, all my weapons and armor (except for the plating on my Targe) are made of Wootz steel, which is simply Damascus Steel made in India. As we see in history with the Assyrians, the material your weapons are made of matters.

Lt. Chard comes in very close second because while he has good weapons, he incorporates a power style that is pretty heavily countered by both FTS and myself.

FTS comes in last for one simple reason: her weapons don't play to her advantage. Her X-factor is that she is more nimble and agile than others, but she strikes that down with a Suctum, which is better used with a stabbing weapon rather than a slashing one, BTW, and a rather heavy Bardiche (the steel reinforcement adds a lot to weight).
