Elgb’s “Playing in my Sandbox” EDGES!!!

Main: While Desmond seems to be carrying the more advanced pistol that fires the more powerful bullet (.45ACP > 9mm everytime), Sean’s pistol is still automatic and has a larger magazine to pin down and outgun Desmond. While Desmond’s hidden blade is by far the best melee weapon in this battle, the fact that Sean’s brass knuckles and knife is already attached to his pistol makes it faster for him to switch from melee and ranged weapons easier than Desmond. EDGE: Sean Devlin

Tool: No doubt the explosives such as TNT, bombs and even a panzerschreck is more lethal than the eagle vision, and while the latter is certainly useful I’m still giving it to the Saboteur’s tools of destruction. On one note, the author didn’t specify how the battle will start so I’m assuming that this will be a random battle, and in a random battle the eagle vision will not detect Sean as an enemy unless he actually does something horrible to Desmond. By the time the eagle vision labels Sean as a threat, Sean would have already pummeled or shot Desmond. I also have to disagree with Wassboss since I never saw the eagle vision detect bombs or weapons before. While he did made a good point that Sean needs to find Desmond first, same thing applies to Desmond having to find Sean and his bombs since the latter is also great at stealth (disguise and infiltration etc). For this, I give it to Sean’s tools for destructive potential and practicality. EDGE: Sean Devlin

Deadliest Warrior?

Desmond Miles was a pretty talented assassin prodigy no doubt, but he was kind of new and inexperienced in the field of killing people. He only did a few missions before he himself got killed off in the series (he wasn’t really a fan favorite to begin with). While I admit that he is quicker and faster when doing parkour than Sean Devlin (game mechanics off course) I still give this to Sean Devlin because of superior weapons and x-factors.

Sean Devlin didn’t had the same quality of assassination training as Desmond, but he did killed more in combat and led people more in battle than the prodigy, making him more experienced and more tactically adept. He’s way tougher and stronger than Desmond as well as being a better marksman so if this turns into a slugfest Sean’s going to own him. Desmond may have been a great stealth assassin, but Sean had his own share of stealth experience and unlike Desmond he’s also ready to go toe to toe in conventional warfare if needed. A combination of a better pistol and explosives are only icing to a cake to why I think Sean will win. Sorry Desmond, but I think it would have been better if you just sent one of your ancestors instead than face this one angry Irishman.
