Appelmonkey's "Rider vs. Lancer" Edges

Weapons: Honsetly the big qustion here is if Moralltach can cut through Achilles' armor, and from the limited research I did I have to say no. It's more of a very high quality sword instead of one that posses magical abilities. Anyway, while the two Gae spears's ability is handy, they don't do a whole lot in 1v1 one battle, unless we're talking about people with superhuman healing which is not the case. In short all of Diarmuid's weapons either have abilities that are countered by Achilles' armor, or they are not that usefull. And while most Achilles' weapons don't have any fancy powers, they are more modern and the javelin gives him a bit more range. And honsetly I don't see why Achilles just can't stab Diarmuid with his dory, leave it in his body and leave him immobilized. Edge: Achilles

Armor: While both their armors are unbreakeble, Diarmuid just has chainmail. Meanwhile Achilles has a chestplate, helmet, shield and some nifty leg protection. So yeah, obvious edge goes to Achilles. Edge: Achilles

X-Factors: Achilles gets 2 X-factors while Diarmuid gets also 2. Edge: Tie

Deadliest Warrior: Achilles! Yeah, saw it comming, didn't you? Not only has Achilles better weapons, armor, and training, but his immortality is a huge plus. Sure, if Diarmuid finds that out Achilles might be done for, but how would he found out? Hector could've atleast heard stories about Achilles' weakspot, but Diarmuid has no way of knowing. In the end, Diarmuid is simply out matched.
