Which character trope kicks more @$$, in your opinion?

[Koukatsu 5,899]

I'd rather never be hit, instead of worrying about how many more hits I can take.

Stealthy and quick is the way I play.

The reason I support the Mighty Glacier is that is the character everyone on the field fears, he's the guy in heavy plate armor swinging the great sword that's slowly cleaving his way through the battle, he shrugs off hits like nothing and ends others in a single swing.

 

On the other hand the fragile speedster is a threat only noticed with perspective which do to his flighty nature tends to go unnoticed, his weaving and dodging skill are great while he picks enemies a part with many glancing to average blows, but that takes too long to long to actually finish others and doesn't have the devastating psychological effect the sight of a Might Glacier does.  Also there's the factor that an unnoticed arrow or unexpected blade could end the speedster in an instant.  However if the Fragile Speedster is also a Glass Cannon that's considerably more bad ass and dangerous.

 

One on one I'd say a serious Fragile Speedster with a weapon that can hurt the Mighty Glacier would win but we're talking about who kicks more ass not win in a fight.

 

TL;DR Mighty Glacier kicks more ass overall and on a larger field, Fragile Speedster wins a one on one though less kick ass overall

Both are suited to different tasks, so it entirely depends upon the opponent and battlefield which one must adopt in their stance and intention.

There are two approaches to this question:

 

-All the speed in the world is meaningless if you can't cause damage to your opponent.

-All the power in the world is meaningless if you can't hit your opponent .

 

So it's really a question of whether one example can overwhelm the other.

If I truly cannot incorporate some kind of balance, then of course I'd rather be the Mighty Glacier. The trick of course is to over come the weight of the heavy armor through severe training. If you can manage to be faster than other heavy armored warriors, then your speed with the armor removed will also be greatly improved, at least enough to make you a worthy challenger for the Fragile Speedsters.

 

There is a reason I admire the Furinkazan, after all.

I think that being fast is more important, as you will at some point be invisible, or should I mention intangible. Mighty glaciers need to sustain with defense, and defense has limits in mortal ways, so speed doesn't get limits if you train it well. Understand my point before replying to me.

I like mighty glaciers cause they can take a hit and be like...whatever, I'm a boss.
