Qrow

You two… You're gonna go far, but only if you keep learning, if you never stop moving forward.
~ Qrow to his nieces
Powers and Stats
Tier: Low 7-C

Name:
Qrow Branwen

Origin: RWBY

Gender: Male

Age: Likely in his 30s

Classification: Human, Huntsman

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Shapeshifting (Can turn into a crow), Able to manipulate and use his Aura defensively (Enhances his natural durability), offensively (Enhances his striking power and sharpens his senses), and to unlock the Aura of another perso, Skilled Swordsman, Marksman, and Scythe wielder, Limited Probability Manipulation (Qrow's Semblance causes misfortune to everyone around him at all times with no regard for friend or foe)

Attack Potency: Small Town level (Comparable to Winter Schnee, Easily fended off Emerald Sustrai, Mercury Black, and Cinder Fall with half of the Maiden of Fall's power, As a professional Huntsman he should be stronger than most Huntsmen-in-Training)

Speed: Hypersonic+ with Massively Hypersonic reactions (Should be comparable to Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai, and overpowered both, Stopped Tyrian's attack before he was able to attack Ruby)

Lifting Strength: Class M (Should be stronger than Ruby)

Striking Strength: Class TJ

Durability:
Small Town level

Stamina:
High (Often ventures out outside the kingdoms in order to hunt Grimm, assumed to have taken on more dangerous Grimm than Ruby)

Range: Extended melee range with his scythe, Dozens of meters with gun and ranged slashes

Standard Equipment: An unnamed Gun/Scythe/Sword hybrid

Intelligence: Despite his reputation as a frequent alcoholic, Qrow is nevertheless one of the most capable Huntsmen in the series, easily making a fool of Winter Schnee, another professional Huntress, while under the influence. His skill and power is so great that Mercury Black, a professional assassin who can casually defeat trained 2nd Year Huntsmen-in-Training like Coco Adel, is terrified of his presence and immediately flees on sight. He is an excellent marksman, swordsman, and scythe wielder, expertly utilizing what Ozpin describes as "one of the most dangerous weapons known to man". Even when disarmed, he simply resorted to fisticuffs to beat Tyrian back with ease, despite the latter's status as one of Salem's most trusted followers. He is also an expert tracker, having followed RNJR for months without their knowledge, and is wise enough to be part of Ozpin's inner circle, which includes high-ranking individuals like James Ironwood and Beacon's Glynda Goodwitch.

Weaknesses: He's sometimes intoxicated when he fights, Continual use of his Aura will eventually deplete it, leaving him weakened and significantly lowering his durability and power, His semblance can affect allies without his consent

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Qrow's Weapon: Qrow's weapon is a large sword that is able to take on four forms. The first form shown is a single-edged greatsword with a clockwork mechanism built into the space above the hilt, and a pair of parallel handguards beneath. A pair of shotgun barrels are also situated on either side of the main blade, although it is unknown whether they are functional in this state. The top half of the blade can be retracted into its base, forming a more compact portable mode, which is how Qrow normally carries the weapon outside of battle. The weapon has also been demonstrated to have a ranged mode, in which the blade folds forwards, making the shotgun barrels more prominent. The shotguns appear to be fired using a trigger in the hilt and can rotate independently of the rest of the hilt and of each other. The rounds have a buckshot-like spread. During "Heroes and Monsters" the scythe form was finally revealed in full, when Qrow used it to protect Ironwood from a Griffon. In the completed form the blade gained red sharpened edges on the inside, while the outer edge took on a jagged, toothed appearance due to the folding. The hilt telescoped in two places, which then curved much like a traditional farming scythe. A trigger, presumably for the shotguns, becomes prominent in the middle section of the handle.
  • Semblance: Qrow's Semblance allows him to transform into a crow at will and thus use it to fly long distances and hide in plain sight. In addition, he states that it also causes misfortune to everyone around him, tripping up his opponents in combat and causing coincidences that work against them. However, it acts indiscriminately and thus will work on his allies as well, resulting in Qrow's tendency to work alone.

Weaknesses: Has a limited supply of mana with which to cast spells, his spells have cooldown periods, during which time they cannot be cast (Both are highly exaggerated in-game for gameplay balance purposes; for instance, Ekko is shown to be able to use his ultimate ability in rapid succession in his cinematic)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Basic Attack: Twisted Fate throws a card at the opponent. Augmented by Stacked Deck.
  • Loaded Dice: Twisted Fate rolls his dice every time he kills an enemy, randomly gaining 1 to 6 Gold. Naturally, he has a higher chance to receive a large bonus.
  • Wild Cards: Twisted Fate throws three cards outwards in the target direction, dealing magic damage to all enemies they pass through.
  • Pick A Card: Twisted Fate presents a random card which cycles through blue, red and gold for 6 seconds. Reactivating Pick A Card ends the cycle and modifies Twisted Fate's next basic attack to deal magic damage and apply a bonus effect, based on the card he selected.
    • Blue Card: Twisted Fate restores mana.
    • Red Card: Twisted Fate deals magic damage to all enemies around his target and slows all damaged enemies for 2.5 seconds.
    • Gold Card: Twisted Fate briefly stuns his target.
  • Stacked Deck: Twisted Fate permanently has bonus attack speed, and deals bonus magic damage on every fourth basic attack.
  • Destiny: Twisted Fate grants true sight of all enemy champions for a few seconds. After a 0.5-second delay, Twisted Fate can use Gate once for the duration.
    • Gate: Twisted Fate channels for 1.5 seconds and, upon completing the channel, blinks to the target location.
  • Seal Fate: Twisted Fate draws a powerful card from his deck, dealing damage to an enemy target and silencing them for a short duration. That enemy takes periodic damage until the curse runs out, or until he can kill an enemy unit.
  • Second Sight: Twisted Fate grants the Second Sight to his allies, increasing their chance to critically hit with basic attacks.
Passive good luck vs passive bad luck, a gambler vs a drunk, a fight that could legitimately happen if it were possible for these two to meet in a bar somewhere. In character, no prior knowledge or prep time, Speed equalized. Who wins?

Qrow - 3

Twisted Fate - 2
 
I give it to Qrow via superior weaponry and skill. Though I'm not sure how often Twisted Fates luck effects his opponents.
 
Hmm, this looks hard. I don't think TF can fight effectively in close range so Qrow has the advantage there. How does Qrow's Semblance work exactly? What are it's limits? And I don't really remember TF being a lucky dude, just a swindler and a cheater.

Now given that TF can teleport with his ult and catch Qrow off guard, he can bind him with yellow cards and proceed to kill him. If he's caught in a close range fight he can either use the teleport defensively and get away like he always does in the lore, or he can spam red cards slowing Qrow and getting out of his range.

I'm leaning slightly towards TF right now.
 
This is actually a cool matchup, but I lean on TF for versatility. Qrow has cloes combat but TF can always play keep away and use his abilities in a much more advantageous style.
 
TF has the advantage with range and his abilities just scream long range. Anything beyond 3 meters is his game.

That said, close to mid range, Qrow has the advantage I will go Qrow high diff. If it comes down to who can exploit their luck more effectively, I think Qrow might have the better abilities.

All it will take is one slip for Qrow to exploit and TF is gone.

Then again, good luck for tf will extend this to be a very long fight, so I can see this going either way I will say qrow for now though.
 
Even though TF was my main for quite a while, I'm gonna have to go with the druken scythe wielder here. Even though TF has the advantage in long range, it's shown that Qrow can close the distance quite quickly against enemies such as him. IMO their luck would probably cancel out, making it a battle of skill, and since Qrow has plenty of experience fighting not only Grimm, but also other humans (going to a school specifically for this), he'd have a better mindset to win this battle.

Plus is everybody forgetting that Qrow has a gun too..? =l

Aaanyways, going with Qrow here high-diff. TF won't make this an easy fight for the Huntsman because of gold cards n' teleporting n' stuff.
 
Probably. There's always the suprise factor to it though, since TF most likely wouldn't expect a transforming sword-gun-scythe hybrid.
 
Well, I know this is late, but isnt Twisted fate supposed to have some sort of precognition with Destiny? I am sure he can see the transofrmatiom coming.
