Drizzt Do'Urden (Forgotten Realms) vs. Edward Kenway (AC4 Blackflag)

I am almost done with Assassin's Creed Black Flag, and I have been quite impressed by the gameplay So this is a battle between two swordsmen who use two Scimitars: Drizzt Do'Urden and Edward Kenway.

Drizzt's supplies and abilities:
- Twinkle - shining scimitar that sharpens as it glows brighter
- Icingdeath - scimitar that resists heat and protects the wielder against fire
- Taulmaril the Heartseeker - Enchanted bow that turns arrows into lightning bolts and refills the missing arrows in its quiver.
- Enchanted Anklets - Speed his feet up to close distances quickly
- Mithril Armor - Similar to what Frodo wore in LotR
- Infravision - Ability to see in the dark by means of heat
- Summon Globe of Impenetrable Darkness - (in the name)
- Line target with faerie fire - does no real damage other than fear.
- Swordsmanship - Among the greatest swordsman in the Forgotten Realms saga. Is able to fight faster than the eye can follow.
- Stealth - Can hide nearly anywhere in the environment he is in. Wears a thick, forest-green cape to blend in with the treetops.

Kenway's supplies and abilities (I don't think these need explaining as much as Drizzt's supplies do)
- Eagle Vision
- Golden Flintlock Pistols (x4)
- Pirate Scimitars (x2)
- All Crafting upgrades
- Sleep and Berserk Darts (15 each)
- Smoke Bombs (x20)
- Rope Darts (x15)
- Hidden Blades (x2)

Takes place on Nassau while the Pirate Republic is still in power.
3 Rounds:
1. Stealth (both are tracking the other, and must kill without detection until they strike)
2. Ranged (Taulmaril vs. Pistols, and Blow Darts)
3. Melee (Scimitars vs. Scimitars)
Who wins each round and why?

I admit I have not played Black Flag, but unless Kenway is some kind of mystical ninja god, I do not see him winning any of the rounds. Having read nearly every Drizzt book imaginable, he just has too much stuff in his favor.

Why would you make this?

He has clearly forgotten how ridiculous Drizzt is?

Not too many human swordsmen could take on a powerful DnD combatant.

Drizzt wins all 3 rounds because he's OP to the point of ridiculousness, especially against an opponent from a world with no enhancements or enchantments like that.

Edward would win with some of the Ancient Artifacts like the Apple of Eden, but with just his standard gear, he dies horribly.

This is spite to the highest degree, Jmoul. You should know that dude, lol.

There is better fencers then Drizzt, but Edward sure as hell isn't one of them.

I was thinking that with his other equipment like guns, blow darts, and rope darts (which he can use to hang people with) Kenway could at least hold his own against Drizzt.

But then you looked at what Drizzt is capable of and his arsenal right? Or did you forget that part?

It's not that, I'm just saying that Edward is not incompetent compared to Drizzt. I'm saying that with his technological advances, Edward can almost level the playing field.

I don't think so.....

Unless he has a Stinger launcher and they fight in a hallway, no.

Who wins each round and why?

1. Drizzt has mastered using his scimitars longer than most humans have been alive.
2. Drizzt is physically faster than any human alive. His deflection of Jarlaxle's daggers while combating two dual-wielding drow is simply metahuman, and then he fought a too-fast-to-see Dantrag and won.
3. His level if stealth is unheard of; he can sneak up on pretty much anyone, including other drow and elves.
4. It's unlikely any of Kenway's projectiles can hit at medium range. Drizzt has deflected/outright dodged faster and more accurate weapons.
5. Drizzt can fight blind.

Epic stomp. Maybe add some other AC heroes to balance it out.

So the entire AC roster?

Yes.

Fine, I'll make a new thread.
