Indeed! I'd think that a well-placed coin may actually tear through the head and destroy the brain, incapacitating him. I think a lucky shot, if there was no Aon to stop it, could take him down easily.

Yeah, if I was Vin, I would go for Raoden straight away, but it's then again a matter of, first, whether Raoden can use any Aons that will repel the metal, and secondly, will Denth and Eshonai overcome Kaladin and Hrathen in the time she is fighting Raoden. If I was Team 2, I would divert Vin onto Raoden and then take out the other two.

I just don't even know. Here to the shards, I guess: May you, with your Endowment, and in your Devotion, be a person of Honor in this Dominion, who shall not fall to Ruin, and instead be a person who shall survive through Preservation, having enough familiarity with Cultivation to not have feelings of Odium.

I'll check it out now. *Here goes*.

Haha, thanks. Well, at least I tried. Adonalsium would be proud, I'm sure.

If Vin did actually take down Denth like you said, I could actually see Team 1 winning, as you've said; we've seen Kaladin in WoK take down a full Shardbearer - Shallan's brother Helaran - and the Shardbearers in the dueling ring with Adolin, so I could see him and Hrathen taking down Eshonai. Then, if all 3 survived, I think Raoden would go down quite easily. Do you reckon that Raoden could hold them off?

Welcome to 17th Shard! Please excuse the terrible thing to follow: May you, with your Endowment, and in your Devotion, be a person of Honor in this Dominion, who shall not fall to Ruin, and instead be a person who shall survive through Preservation, having enough familiarity with Cultivation to not have feelings of Odium. Enjoy your time here, Stormblessed

And you turn around. That's what it's all about.

Oh, sounds good. I'll check it out, for sure. And certainly, I'll take the cookie, though I may have to take Colours' advice and use a metal detector on it

In Mistborn, I just kept pronouncing Kelsier "Kel-See-Er" instead of "Kel-See-Ey", so it wasn't very french of me. Got Demoux right, though

Yesterday, I read both Steelheart and Firefight; I actually thought they were quite good, though I can see what you mean. They didn't feel as though it was Sanderson, except for the Magic System of the Epics, but it was still an enjoyable read, and it's directed at my age group, anyway, so I can't expect it to be on par with his other, more developed works.

The poll's actually quite close at the moment: 7/8

Originally, I would have said team one over and over again, just because I loved Vin and Kaladin, and both seemed very powerful, but comparatively, perhaps not so much; Kaladin would indeed have no impact against Raoden so would have to essentially rely on skill with a spear, which as you showed, would probably lead to Denth and Eshonai overwhelming him and Hrathen, unless those two isolated either Denth or Eshonai first and took them down. Vin, on the other hand, I think could, perhaps, take Raoden in the streets of Elantris. She has the ability to jump over the rooftops and move quickly away from some of the Aons, and I think the main thing is that, if it's possible to bring Atium over to Sel, then she would have Atium to see where Raoden, Denth and Eshonai would move next, meaning she'd have a huge advantage. Assuming that she could use the Atium to perhaps take down Denth and Eshonai before Kaladin and Hrathen were slaughtered, then the three of them could probably take on Raoden, tiring him out or attacking in the time before Aons had been drawn to the end. Depending on the circumstances, and depending EXTREMELY on the question of Atium or not, both teams could win.

Yeah, I would say, that if it is possible to take the Atium over to Sel, then she would have maybe a minute or so of Atium, and plenty of Duralumin.

Huh, that's interesting, and I'd have to agree with you; I also feel that Eshonai would have trouble in the confined areas if the others used it well.

That's actually a really awesome connection. I'd never considered that Brandon would have the worlds have different gravity, but then I guess that in SA, there are the three moons on Roshar: Salas, Nomon, and Mishim, thus being different to any others straight away, so I guess it's not too far of a jump to then assume there are differences in gravity. Do we have any WoB on this? - It'd be quite cool to see how this affected each of the characters.

Fair point, actually. I'd never considered the extended battle being there and then determined by the length of being able to use investiture.

That was a given, another error, sorry. I added Raoden last and forgot to change the location to Elantris to actually make it suitable.

Yeah that's true, but I should have made it clearer that I meant Vin at her strongest without being Preservation. I'll edit it, but I still think Team 1 would win, hands down. They're all just awesome;)

As the title states, which team do you think would win in a duel, given that all of the magic systems work simultaneously. Team 1: Pre-Radiance Kaladin; unconsciously uses Stormlight as he did in Bridge Four, and has no shards. Vin at her strongest (But not as Preservation); plenty of Allomantic stores. Hrathen, ability as shown in Elantris. Enough said. Team 2: Raoden at his best, able to make use of AonDor. Denth in Warbreaker, plain beast. Eshonai in Warform and in full plate. Place of Battle: Elantris, Sel. Who do you think will win? Feel free to justify below

Thanks, Colours; it means a lot. And I hope that's a proverbial metal detector

Demoux or Breeze, I think.

Yeah, I really enjoyed Warbreaker too. It's a great place to start with the Cosmere, as well, for those new to Sanderson.

Thanks for the insight. I'll still probably check it out, since it's Sanderson nevertheless. I'd have to say that The Final Empire - the first Mistborn book - was my favourite, simply because it was the first time I read a Brandon Sanderson novel. As for favourite character across the Cosmere, I would have to say Kaladin from SA,followed by Vasher in Warbreaker. What are your favourites?
