Perhaps not every advantage, but Duncan-
* Is a better, more experienced swordsman (over 400 years expertise)
* Is much more accustomed to battling other skilled swordsman.
* Has the power and skill of every one of his vanquished foes.
* Heals faster.
Some of Duncan's resiliance feats-
* In "Double Jeopardy" Morgan D'Estaing stabs him with a dagger coated in curarae. Duncan still takes his head before 'dying' from the poison.
* In "Duende" Consone stabs him through the chest. Duncan seizes his arm and pushes his sword in deeper(!) then takes his head with a pair of daggers.
* In "Courage," Cullen rams him with a truck and slices the side of his neck. Duncan still wins the fight and beheads Cullen.

Na it was stated that only another immortal can kill an immortal. And only by lopping off his head.
Beg your pardon but no. In the first movie Ramirez told Connor "if your head comes away from your neck, it's over." He said nothing about only Immortals could do it.
In "The Hunters," Darius was killed by renegade Watchers (Duncan knew an Immortal couldn't have done it because Darius was killed on holy ground). They nearly killed Fitz via guillotine as well.
In "One Minute to Midnight," Irena and Jacob Galati were beheaded by mortals (Irena was killed by James Horton and Jacob by Jack Shapiro).

What if I have a shotgun and I BLOW an immortals head off? Same?
As Ramirez says "if your head comes away from your neck, it's over."

technically, immortals just need to get their noggin lobbed off. in Highlander: the raven, the sidecharacter dude cuts this one immortal dude's head off but the quickening goes to Amanda.......then again, sidedude was actually immortal as well.okay, nevermind
Nick, and he was only a latent Immortal. At that point he hadn't died his first death (that happened in the finale.)
