Two (mostly) Invulnerable Heroes meet in combat! Achilles vs Esfandyar

[CinnabarManx421]

Two Mythological heroes with arbitrary weakspots have been fated to meet in combat and decide once and for all who the strongest warrior is.

-Speed is equalized

-Both are 9-B

-Both get a day of prep time

Achilles (Myth): (2 votes, AnonymousBlank, Votron5)

Esfandiy─ür (Myth): (0 votes)

My vote is for Esfandiyar for superior range and his chains. Achilles was killed by an arrow to the heel as well.

 

[CinnabarManx421]

Well, Esfandyar was killed by an arrow to the eyes, but sure, counted.

 

[Votron5]

True, but Achilles doesn't have a bow and arrows, does he? Esfandyar does.

Both have prep but neither have info so they will only learn the other guy is invulnerable, if anything, and won't be going for each other's weak spots except by chance.

Thing is, the heel isn't exactly a common target in fights compared to the eyes. Its also much harder to reach and will immediately tip Achilles off to what Esfandiyar is going for. Eyes on the otherhand, are a far more common target and a very common one for Achilles since pankration (like any ancient greek soldier would practice) and eye gouging go almost hand in hand which is what the fight will devolve into as they inevitably lose their weapons. Even his war cries could accidently kill Esfandiyar with their AOE.

At the end of the day, it comes down to who has the easier target to hit and that is definitely Achilles seeing as some stray dirt or dust thrown/blown into Esfandiyar's eyes will give away his weakness. Voting Achilles.

Counted, and well put.

 

[Votron5]

I think Anonymous makes a good point. I want to change my vote to Achilles.

 

[CinnabarManx421]

Okay, changed.

 

[CinnabarManx421]

Bump.

 

[JackJoyce]

Achilles throws his spear

 

[CinnabarManx421]

I think we have our winner right here.

 

[CinnabarManx421]

Bump.

 

[CinnabarManx421]

Bump.

I think it's safe to say Achilles won
