Edelgard Vs Claude

This match can't be added due to the Forum move as this thread would be hakai'd by then, unless someone saves it via wayback machine or something and includes the wayback link.

Suppose that can be added once grace is over.

Claude is much faster and has higher dexterity, so his arrows likely won't miss. As was said already, the arrows penetrated straight throught Nemesis with no issue. Plus, Fallen Star still activates even if it does no damage. Also, I doubt a mundane shield would last long against a Hero's Relic spamming its special ability. Finally, since Edelgard won't be able to get into melee range, she won't be able to use Raging Storm at all. Claude's flight allows him to almost completely control the flow of the battle. Edelgard won't be able to attack him unless it's a counterattack he expects.
is claude really even faster? i mean el was able to react to IO attacks and in other routes go toe to toe with SS byleth twice. both in which are stronger then nemesis.


and cant she just knock the arrows away with her axe? she can hurt a nuke tanking dragon after all.


and can we really assume he can spam falling star in lore?
 
Strength=/=Speed

Pretty sure that someone riding a Wyvern should be far quicker and more mobile than someone with heavy armor. (considering they are on the same tier and all, as all lords are comparable to each other). If they were on different tiers, it would be a different story. (As we can see when Edelgard blitzed Ferdinand)

Once again, its more of a question of speed rather than power. Fallen star still activates even if Edelgard takes no damage. (which is very unlikely since Claude is capable of harming her in his route)

Uh, the two are bloodlusted. They will do stuff even if it is OOC. I don't see why they can't spam it.
 
if its blood lusted how would we know claude will think ligically?


el can react to rheas beam in CF which i think isnt fire breath since it dosent materialise as such


not to mentions she can jump really high. whats stopping her from just jumping catchig claude off gaurd and then throwing her tomohawk?


and byleth goes head to head with byleth who is much faster then claude and has goddess powers.

Because bloodlusted isn't being a dumbass, but not holding back at any moment with the intention to defeat their opponents.

That doesn't say anything. Both of them can dodge light which is faster and by canon Claude was the fastest one.

Falling Star and a much higher range advantage, there's no reason to say that she can jump even higher than a Wyvern Rider.

and byleth goes head to head with byleth who is much faster then claude and has goddess powers.

Byleth never fought against Byleth. I assume you're talking about Edelgard. He treats the lords as equals and they can fight toe to toe with them, not only Edelgard. All of the biggest victories in Fire Emblem: Three Houses was because better military strategy and leadership which is a given in the series.
 
She can jump, but jumping does not somehow make her more agile in an airbone fight than Claude with a wyvern. Can Edel really jump as high as a wyvern can fly? And that's considering Claude doesn't just continue to use abilities that outrange her tomahawk. And in the cutscene the IO was clearly not airborne.

Edel and Dimitri are much tougher than Claude physically, sure, but it isn't like they are tougher to the point Claude can't damage them somehow with his weaponry. Claude is in the same tier as them; did you look at the scaling chain posted by Rtx earlier in the thread? Claude hurt Nemesis, who contends with Byleth, who slays Edel in several routes. Claude FIGHTS Edel in VW. In an arm wrestle, though, my money is on Edel and Dimitri rather than Claude.

As a cherry on top, in VW, there are quotes of Claude saying that he would kill Edel if pitying her would put the Golden Deer in danger + when Edel's at half health, Claude pleads with her to yield but she refuses and continues to fight him. No real reason why he can't fight her in lore.
 
Well yea no duh, ofc the IO is bigger. Difference is, the IO is standing, and Claude's Wyvern is shown flying. Fliers in the opening cutscene are shown flying WAY higher than the IO's height.
 
well ya but im talking that along with her tomohawk which should get him if caught off gaurd.


base case sincerio for el here is if she could stall long enough for him to run out of arrows....then claude flies away
 
edelgard's magic is better than her Tomahawk, but it gets negated with silence. The same can be said of edelgard, he can just as easily if not more easily catch her off guard. Not that many of her attacks matter since they will all miss due to fallen star.

well yea that's the best case. Worst case, she can't get a single hit in and gets impailed by one of his arrows like he did with Nemesis.
