Who Got the Edge
Kopis vs Jian: Both
swords
get
the
edge.
Alexander
has
nothing
covering
his
arms
or
legs,
and
even
his
neck
isn't
covered
(Though
his
helmet
covers
most
of
his
head).
As
seen
on
Vlad
the
Impaler
vs
Sun
Tzu,
the
Jian
is
capable
of
cutting
through
limbs
with
speed
&
precision.
Meanwhile,
the
Kopis
has
some
bludgeoning
capability
along
with
it's
cutting
power,
and
can
easily
go
through
Sun
Tzu's
leather
armor
(although
it
won't
necessarily
go
through
his
Bronze
Helmet).
Xyston vs Zhua: The
Xyston
gets
the
edge.
It's
length
will
mean
more
kills
before
Sun
Tzu
or
one
of
his
soldiers
can
close
the
distance
and
attempt
to
whack
Alexander
with
the
Zhua.
On
top
of
that,
the
Xyston
will
easily
go
through
Sun
Tzu's
leather
armor,
while
the
Zhua
will
just
dent
Alexander's
metal
breastplate
(though
it
will
certainly
give
him
a
serious
headache).
Gastrophetes vs Repeating Crossbow: The
Repeating
Crossbow
gets
the
edge.
The
Repeating
Crossbow
holds
up
to
10
bolts,
while
the
Gastrophetes
can
only
hold
1
bolt.
In
addition
to
ammo
capacity,
it
is
easier
to
reload
the
Repeating
Crossbow,
and
it
can
deliver
poisoned
bolts.
The
Gastrophetes,
meanwhile,
is
simply
too
clunky
to
work
with.
Ballista vs Flaming Arrows: The
Flaming
Arrows
get
the
edge.
While
the
Ballista
has
range,
it
takes
over
a
minute
to
reload,
reposition,
reset,
and
fire.
With
the
Flaming
Arrows,
you
simply
light
the
soaked
wad,
and
fire
it.
The
only
problem
with
these
is
that
fact
that
they'll
go
out
when
they
hit
Alexander's
breastplate.
Bronze Breastplate & Iron Helmet vs Leather Armor & Bronze Helmet: Alexander's
armor
gets
the
edge.
Although
the
breastplate
&
helmet
are
heavier,
they
can
block
&
deflect
a
wider
variety
of
attacks,
while
Sun
Tzu's
armor
can
only
take
light
damage
before
they
become
useless.
Setup
It
was
a
bright
day
in
the
state
of
Wu.
The
breeze
was
calm,
and
the
birds
were
chirping.
The
pleasantness
would
not
last
much
longer.
At
his
home,
Sun
Tzu
was
busy
writing
the
next
chapter
in
his
military
classic,
the
Art
of
War,
when
he
heard
a
knock
at
his
front
door.
He
beckoned
one
of
his
servants
to
go
see
who
it
was,
and
a
couple
seconds
later,
the
servant
brought
back
a
figured
dressed
in
bronze,
and
wearing
an
iron
helmet.
"Ah,
Alexander,
you've
arrived."
spoke
Sun
Tzu.
"I
didn't
think
you'd
make
it
here,
given
the
Attilla
business
and
such."
"I
told
you
not
to
talk
about
that."
responded
Alexander.
"Besides,
you
had
to
deal
with
that
Vlad
guy..."
Sun
Tzu
waived
his
hand.
"Alright,
alright,
I
get
it."
he
said.
Alexander
the
Great
walked
right
over
to
Sun
Tzu,
who
was
sitting
on
his
knees
in
front
of
a
tiny
table.
On
it
was
a
ink
vial,
a
writing
brush,
and
some
paper,
most
of
which
was
written
on.
Sun
Tzu
went
back
to
writing,
and
Alexander
the
Great
hovered
over
the
strategist's
shoulder.
"Hey,
do
you
mind?"
asked
Sun
Tzu.
"Mind
what?"
Alexander
asked
back.
"Do
you
mind
not
hovering
over
my
shoulder?"
spoke
Sun
Tzu.
"Why?"
asked
Alexander.
"Because
I
don't
want
anybody
to
read
this
before
it's
finished."
responded
Sun
Tzu.
"Not
even
a
peek?"
Alexander
asked
innocently.
"No,
not
even
a
peek."
Sun
Tzu
replied.
Alexander
the
Great
got
up
off
his
knees,
and
drew
his
Kopis.
He
pointed
it
at
Sun
Tzu,
who
didn't
even
flinch.
All
he
did
was
keep
on
writing,
and
didn't
even
bat
Alexander
an
eye.
"Mind
putting
that
away?"
asked
Sun
Tzu.
"No."
Alexander
replied.
"No
I
won't!"
Sun
Tzu
sighed,
and
put
his
writing
brush
down.
He
got
up
from
sitting,
and
reached
for
the
Jian
that
was
right
behind
him.
He
drew
the
blade
out
of
it's
sheathe,
just
as
his
servant
can
running
in
holding
a
Zhua.
Sensing
an
opportunity
to
see
if
his
servant
had
taken
the
Art
of
War
to
heart,
Sun
Tzu
stepped
back,
and
ordered
his
servant
to
fight
Alexander.
The
servant
stepped
up,
and
Alexander
went
on
the
offensive.
Alexander
went
right
in,
and
immediately
started
swinging
his
Kopis
around.
The
servant
blocked
the
blows
with
the
iron
Zhua.
Although
the
weapon
was
heavy,
the
servant
was
able
to
nimbly
move
around
the
small
courtyard,
and
stay
on
the
defensive.
"Now!"
yelled
Sun
Tzu.
"Hit
it
him
now!"
The
Servant
nodded,
and
swung
at
Alexander's
chest.
Alexander
flew
back
from
the
blow,
and
landed
on
his
side.
He
got
back
up
from
the
assault,
with
a
dent
in
his
breastplate,
and
a
renewed
desire
to
fight.
Just
as
the
servant
was
about
to
land
a
second
blow,
a
lond
wooden
bolt
flew
through
the
air,
and
went
right
through
his
heart.
The
Zhua
fell
to
the
floor,
then
the
servant's
body
fell.
Alexander the Great: 3/Sun Tzu: 2
Sun
Tzu
looked
up,
and
saw
one
of
Alexander's
soldiers
standing
on
the
roof
before
the
courtyard,
holding
what
looked
liked
a
giant
crossbow.
The
soldier
picked
up
a
twelve
foot
spear,
and
tossed
it
near
Alexander's
feet.
As
he
was
trying
to
pull
it
out
of
the
ground,
Sun
Tzu
picked
up
his
Repeating
Crossbow,
and
aimed
it
at
Alexander's
soldier,
who
was
attempting
to
reload
the
giant
crossbow.
One
well
placed
shot
to
the
throat
a
second
later,
and
the
soldier
was
down
for
the
count.
Alexander the Great: 2/Sun Tzu: 2
Alexander
looked
upward,
and
saw
his
soldier
fall
off
the
roof,
and
hit
the
ground
with
a
loud
thud.
He
turned
around
just
in
time
to
have
Sun
Tzu
tackle
him.
They
both
went
flying
to
the
ground,
and
began
to
pummel
the
other.
A
couple
seconds
later,
and
Alexander
puched
Sun
Tzu
off
of
him.
Getting
back
up,
Alexander
finally
pulled
his
spear
out
of
the
ground,
just
as
Sun
Tzu
picked
up
the
Zhua
that
his
servant
was
using.
Meanwhile,
another
one
of
Alexander's
soldiers
was
standing
watch
near
a
setup
Ballista,
which
was
aimed
at
Sun
Tzu's
courtyard.
He
kept
an
eye
on
the
fight
with
a
telescope,
but
what
he
should
have
been
paying
attention
to
was
himself.
As
he
looked
on,
Sun
Tzu's
second
servant
was
sneaking
up
to
the
Ballista,
armed
with
a
bow,
and
an
arrow
ready
to
light
his
enemy's
day.
The
servant
knelt
down,
and
lit
the
arrow
on
fire.
He
aimed
it,
and
fired
it
straight
at
the
feet
of
the
soldier.
Earlier
in
the
day,
the
servant
had
poured
sesame
oil
on
that
spot,
just
in
case
something
like
this
would
happen.
The
soldier
had
now
learned
the
meaning
of
the
term
"Hot
Foot."
Alexander the Great: 1/Sun Tzu: 2
After
the
fire
went
out,
the
servant
went
over
to
example
the
freshly
burned
body.
His
attention
then
became
fixed
on
the
Ballista,
and
the
gears
began
to
turn
in
his
head
as
he
stroked
his
chin.
Back
at
Sun
Tzu's
house,
both
men
though
they
smelt
something
burning,
but
all
they
could
smell
(or
see),
was
a
few
wisps
of
smoke
floating
through
the
air.
Besides
this,
they
each
went
back
to
using
their
swords,
since
they
desired
to
get
a
little
more
close
and
personal,
and
using
their
longer
weapons
wouldn't
sate
their
desire.
"I
really
don't
want
to
go
through
this
all
day
long."
spoke
Sun
Tzu.
"All
I
wanted
to
do
was
just
write,
and
not
have
to
fight
a
crybaby."
"If
you
just
let
me
have
a
look,
then
we
wouldn't
have
to
go
through
all
of
this."
responded
Alexander,
who
charged
Sun
Tzu
with
his
Kopis
pointed
forward.
Sun
Tzu
blocked
the
charged,
but
at
the
cost
of
his
Jian
shattering
into
two
pieces.
He
ducked
out
of
the
way
just
as
Alexander's
sword
went
flying
towards
his
neck,
and
would
up
in
the
middle
of
the
small
courtyard.
It
wasn't
until
Alexander
was
in
the
middle
with
him
when
Sun
Tzu
through
he
heard
a
whistling
sound.
Even
Alexander
paused
from
combat
for
a
moment
to
try
and
figure
out
what
the
whistling
sound
was.
A
couple
seconds
later,
Sun
Tzu
though
he
saw
a
spear
flying
hign
in
the
air.
Alexander
raised
a
hand
to
his
eyes,
and
tried
to
look
for
the
spear
that
Sun
Tzu
spotted.
A
couple
seconds
later,
and
Alexander
the
Great
spotted
the
flying
spear.
Unfortunately
for
him,
the
spear
was
about
to
go
through
him,
and
impale
him
to
the
floor.
He
was
able
to
utter
out
two
words
before
the
spear
went
through
his
breastplate,
and
into
his
heart.
"Oh
****."

Ending Assessment: Sun
Tzu
took
more
things
into
account,
and
thus
was
able
to
triumph
the
more
up-front
strategies
of
Alexander
the
Great.
Strongest
Weapon:
With
a
limb-slicing
300
kills,
the
Jian
takes
the
strongest
weapon
spot.
Weakest
Weapon:
Given
it's
length
of
time
to
reset,
and
5
measly
kills,
the
Ballista
is
the
weakest
weapon
of
this
fight.
