User blog comment:Lasifer/Hellstorm Issue 6: Beowulf vs. Achilles/@comment-24180428-20130625210845

Utter noob's edges:

Primary-Achilles' spear is extremly heavy, so heavy that only Achilles could lift it. Considering that, I would imagine a spear thrust would be very powerful. The spear also has the range advantage. From what I've read, Beowulf actually broke his sword from hitting it too hard. If you break your main weapon in the heat of battle, you're in trouble. Edge Achilles

Secondary-Hrunting was supposed to never fail and yet it did fail. This isn't good for reliability of the weapon, and Beowulf will be surprised when/if the weapon fails him in this battle. However it is longer then the Xiphos so...Edge Beowulf

Armor-Chainmail is vulnerable to thrusts. Achilles' main weapon is a spear. Considering Achille's strength, I am sure he can get through chainmail with little problem. Now Beowulf has to get through armor that was made by a God. In short, God armor > mortal armor. Edge Achilles

Special-The shield can take arrows all day long. Edge Achilles

X-factor-Beowulf's x-factor is strength. Achille's has more x-factors and already incredible strength. Edge Achilles

Winner-I give it to Achilles. He has the better primary weapon and better armor. Achilles' shield can take arrows all day and when it comes to medium range a thrust with the spear should go through chainmail no probem.
