User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/Season 6 Battle 3 Matilda of Canossa vs Boudica/@comment-379205-20130906014108

119's "Papal Action Girl" Edges


 * Swords: Matilda's sword has a longer reach than Boudica's, and is a lighter weight than the Celtic Sword. Not to mention it will hack right through the often unarmored Celts. Edge: Matilda of Canossa


 * Spears: The medieval lance was heavy, designed for use on horseback, and often a one-use weapon. One problem here: Matilda won't be on horseback for this match. The Lancea's shorter length means it will be more maneuverable at close ranges. On top of that, the Lancea can be thrown. Edge: Boudica.


 * Ranged: The sling has a faster rate of fire, but it won't do much against an armored opponent. The crossbow on the other hand, was renowned for its stopping power, meaning much higher probability of a kill shot.


 * X-Factors: Matilda would probably take most of the important X-Factors, including training and armor. The only thing the two might come close in is combat experience.


 * Overall Winner: Matilda takes this match as she has superior weaponry in both close and long ranges, and she has armor, unlike Boudica. Winner: Matilda.
