User blog comment:Pygmy Hippo 2/Negan (The Walking Dead) vs. War Face ('68)/@comment-3189283-20180606081830

Let's see shall we

Melee Weapons

It's much of muchness when it comes to the knives really, both will be an effective tool. Yeah technically the Ka-Bar is a combat designed weapon but we're not exactly talking about two expert knife fighters here and when it come to just plain stabbing someone both work equally well in that regard. Lucille is certainly an iconic weapon but it's simply not as effective as the Machete because it's a blunt force weapon instead of a blade.

Edge: War Face

Mid Range 

The Colt only really loses out in terms of ammo capacity and that's only by one bullet so not a massive disadvantage. It has the further range, faster rate of fire and a much more mangable recoil which is accentuated by Negan and Co's lack of firearms training that would enable them to handle it better.

Edge: War Face 

Long Range

The AR-15 has the AK-47 outclassed in terms of effective range, rate of fire and muzzle velocity. The AK-47 only has two things going for it, the more powerful round and the greater reliability but neither of these will play a huge part in the battle.

Edge: Negan

Special Weapon

Neither honestly will play a big role. The Crossbow is much too situational to be used with any great effect with most of the times where Negan could use it, he might as well use his gun. The Zombie Physicality will help in a melee battle but with most of the combat being a firefight again it's situational.

Edge: Even 

Final Verdict

War Face should win this comfortably. While Negan does take the most important weapon edge with the better Assault Rifle he and the Saviours simply lack the combat experience and military training that War Face has. Neither Negan nor War Face are exactly well adjusted and are both just as likely to do something rash and stupid but at least War Face has the more dependable troops who follow him without question and have zombie physicality to make them harder to actually put down. On top of this Negan and the Saviours aren't used to zombies that can fight back with firearms which adds a psychological edge for War Face as well.

War Face: 3,500

Negan: 1,500
