I'm sorry I'm Italian and I use google translate. To effectively use a two-handed weapon you must be able to easily lift it with one hand otherwise it would not be effective, the second hand is used to better balance and reduce fatigue. Search on You Tube Demolition Ranch Sword or Gatsu, Berserk sword. Those swords all weigh 50 kg or less and are impossible to use for very strong men. Vin weighs 50 kg and can easily use them in books, thanks to Super strength, speed and agility. Then keep in mind that the gravity on Roshar is less than that of Scadrial and therefore things weigh less.

Is not the same thing. The power of Vin's head is given by the speed and physical hardness he acquires, not by his physical strength. To make a correct comparison you have to use their lifting capacity. Vin and Elend flaring pewter are able to fight nimbly with Koloss Swords which are more or less equivalent to Shard Hammers. So the pewter's strength should only be slightly less than that of the shardplate.

Aluminum completely changes things so I wouldn't consider it. It would give Mistborn and the Keepers a huge advantage but in my opinion it would be of little use for the Radiant. Keepers vs Radiant always depends on the order of the Radiant. Those who fly or have ranged attacks would have an advantage if they keep the distance. And in my opinion in this case the consumption of resources benefits the Radiant. Sazed killed hundreds of Koloss during the siege of Luthadel by consuming resources accumulated for years. It would take a Keeper specialized in the war and properly equipped to put many Radiant orders in difficulty.

In that video 6 arrows are shot, from the most favorable angle for the armor. 2 of these dent the armor. If he had shoot from a favorable angle the blows would have damaged the armor. a Mistborn can hit with a dozen coins at a time with the same force. It is enough that one in 12 hits the right way and opens one small crack at a time. The shardplate is NOT much more resistant than normal armor otherwise stones, hammers, and spears would not damage it, as it happens. The sum of small cracks can lead to the breakdown and loss of Stormlight. In a protracted confrontation the Mistborn has an advantage because its reserves run out much more slowly. Chapter 52, well of ascension, Vin says that 2 vials are enough to push and pull for HOURS. And before that she filled her stomach with enough pewter to run half a day. When have you ever seen Kaladin fight for the same time without a constant supply of Stormlight from an external source? There are orders that couldn't get the better of a Mistborn with or without Atium, because they don't fly and don't have ranged attacks. At best, they could escape or stall if they get defensive. in that experiment the arrow is fired from a distance of 25 meters and hits at a speed of 52.1 m / s (187 km per hour). Vim with steel can fly at a speed equal to that of a galloping horse, 80 km per hour. Do you think a coin that weighs a fraction of Vin travels only twice its speed? You only need to travel three times to outclass the power of the bow.

because you say so? You should reread the books, the coinshot doesn't work like an arrow thrown from a bow. An arrow progressively loses speed, while the speed of a coin is constant until it is pushed. Furthermore, in the coinshot it does not matter the weight of the coin but that of the Allomancer, for this reason it is thrown back if it hits something very heavy. The coinshot is like a spear or hammer blow brought from far away, and the higher the speed, the greater the force of the blow. Just inflict one small crack at a time. Many small cracks added together can break an armor. The wooden shields of the Hazekillers are made especially to withstand a discharge of coins and are brought to a highly selected military elite. do not compare them to the normal shields, which still stopped both the arrows and, spears. Vim burns pewter or steel for hours as it has to move long distances. If you fill your stomach well you can burn for hours. Instead, when Kaladin tries to save Dalinar's army he must constantly absorb stormlight from the infused stones of the Parsmen just to maintain his physical abilities. And he will have fought for half an hour at the most.

And why? in the open field the mistborn can fly on steel and bomb the opponent with coins, he only needs a few lucky hits to gain an advantage over the opponent without wasting a lot of resources. For orders that attack from a distance it depends on who has the longest range. And the remote attacks of the radiant consume stormlights while the consumption of steel is constant and can last for hours. Eventually a mistborn against many orders can stall and see who is consuming their resources first. In a passage from the book Adolin remembers seeing a Shardwarrior being killed by an archer after dozens of spearmen had managed to crack the Shardplate. With coins, a misrborn can safely open dozens of cracks which when added together can lead to a break. Or to let the Radiant consume his light.

But at most the radiant can win a clash out of 2. All orders that cannot fly or do not have ranged attacks have no way of hitting a mistborn that flies on steel. The rest have to deal with the atium. And frankly Sharn Elarias' claim is ridiculous, an incompetent Radian cannot beat a mistborn with years of training. Vin is a genius, she is the chosen one with a level of power above the norm, for this she has won. Renarin would be torn to pieces even by a simple well-trained Pewterman.

Vin has done similar things with less training, and has both practical and theoretical knowledge of atium. How would your heroes acquire this information? Without them it is impossible that they can do what Vin did before taking a dagger in the eye.

Source? On Coppermind he makes no mention of this flaw, nor in the books. Wayne only says that using speed bubbles to rob trains would be too expensive. You have to burn the metal, move, then turn it off and then reactivate it because the bubble cannot be moved. the time interval between one bubble and another can be a few tenths of a second. in fact, that's not what I said. Re-read the AoL ending. Wax has to hit a moving bullet, so he calculates the trajectory inside the bubble and then shoots when Wayne drops the bubble.

there is a reason why Sanderson eliminated mistborns in the second era. With temporal metals they are practically invincible. Just read Alloy of The Law. Wayne's biggest weakness is psychological, and therefore would not affect a normal mistborn. Thanks to his super senses and super reflexes a mistborn could do what Wax does at the end of the book. Take aim well with a coin inside the time bubble and shoot it exactly in the eyeball of the enemy, perhaps with a push of duralumin. Recreate the bubble, replenish the metals and then start over. The weak point of the regeneration of the Radiant is that they cannot expel or destroy the objects inside them. And until they do, their brain is damaged and they lose motor and cognitive functions. Getting a dime out of your skull is practically impossible in the middle of a fight, and your chances of escaping depend on how much you've lost your cognitive and motor functions. With this system a Mistborn can make his opponents helpless before they can even think of doing something.

Shallan was not at all well. She had lost the use of her left hand, was unable to speak and when they pulled the dart out she passed out from the pain. The trick is to leave the weapon stuck inside the radiant so it cannot regenerate and continue hitting. Sooner or later the Stormlight will end.

Oathbringer release party (Nov. 13, 2017) #82 Share Copy Questioner Who do you think would win, an atium misting, or Kaladin with Syl? Brandon Sanderson The atium misting, as long as they have enough atium, is probably got an advantage, but Kaladin can fly. So, I would bet on Kaladin, meaning he flies up high, waits 'til they run out of atium, then gets them. I think Brandon is also unable to give a precise answer on this matter. Basically in the books both Kelsier that Vin often face face-to-face fights with good opponents and they come out winners. Kelsier vs Hazekiller, Kelsier Vs Inquisitor, Vin vs Mistborn, Vin vs Hazekillers, Vin vs Koloss etc. Kaladin is a soldier, this means that he knows how to fight better in formation, Vin is an assassin and therefore specializes in stealthy and solitary actions. But in terms of training and combat talent they are equal.

In those moments Vim was powered directly by Preservation, so her power was equal to or greater than that of a herald or fullborn. Normally the winning card of a Mistborn is the atium that does not just show the future but, as explained by Kleiser to Vim, sharpens the mind, allows you to manage new information and react more quickly and in a controlled way . It practically guarantees the mistborn F-Zinc as long as it burns atium. Kelsier then clarifies further "while burning atium nothing can surprise you, You can vibrate a dagger knowing that your enemies will surely be pierced. You can dodge attacks with ease because you are able to see where each single shot will fall. The atium makes you almost invincible, Improve your mind, enabling you to take advantage of all the new information. In close combat, the Shardplate also offers no real protection. The Mistborn obsidian dagger will always strike the Radiant's eye. And at that very moment the misrborn will know that the Radiant will remove the knife from his eye. It will be enough for him to break the handle of the dagger to make the operation impossible. At that point either the radiant tries to retreat or decides to fight with a blind spot while the Stormlight continues to try to heal him. Most of the powers of the radiant are useless against the atium simply because they are visible. On coppermind is also said that the atium allows you to dodge attacks from behind. So it offers 360 degree protection. Even remote soulcasting could be impossible. When Jashan soulcast the two thieves, two light trails start from his fingers. It can be deduced that it is necessary to aim and hit to get some effect.

Being Italian I have to rely on the translation and not on the original text, but in the book there is talk of a large stone among those in the wall of the building, so the size and weight will be those, we are certainly not talking about 50 kg blocks of marble. Moreover, in another passage of the book, Dalinar's armor is cracked by the Parshedis using slings and stones the size of a head. In this case the bullet is much slower than that used by Szeth and still manages to have a certain effect. So I would say that my calculations are quite accurate. As for the speed guaranteed by pewter, we do not have an objective data, but tripling the speed of a human being does not make it so fast that it cannot be perceived with the naked eye as it happens with a Steelrunner. The speed of the latter is not comparable to that of a mistborn unless you use Duralluminiun, and this is precisely the strength of a Mistborn. the fundamental difference between pewter and Stormlight is that the first increases physical resistance more while the latter ensures greater regeneration. The bones and muscles of a Mistborn will be 3 times more resistant than normal thanks to pewter and 10 times as much thanks to duralumin. which is why the thug's head exploded while Vim suffered no damage. If her head hadn't been much more resistant than that of her opponent, she too would have been seriously injured during the impact.

To calculate the force needed to break a Shadrplate and kill the owner in one hit, just refer to Szeth's fight against the king of Jah Keved. Szeth infuses a stone into the wall 20 times and throws it towards the Sharbearer. The impact is strong enough to break the plate and throw the Shadrbearer across the room killing him instantly. The gravitational acceleration on Roshar is 6.87 m / s. If we consider a one-second flight, then the stone hit the Shardbearer at a speed of 137.4 m / s. If we take the standard weight of a stone, as indicated on coppermind, we have that a 6 kg object at the speed of 137.4 m / s can instantly kill a Shardbarer. The problem lies in deciding how much Mistborn's speed increases when burning pewter. If the speed increases exactly as the strenght, then burning pewter the speed doubles and flaring it triples. Using duralumin probably speeds up 10 times normal. The average speed of a boxer's punch is 13.8 m / s, so the mistborn punch will normally travel at a speed of 41.4 m / s with a weight much greater than 6 kg. Burning Duraluminio the punch would reach the speed of 138 m / s more than enough to detonate the head of the Radiant. Or in the worst scenario, making him incapacitated for long enough to allow Misborn to swallow more pewter and finish him off.

Honestly, if you assume that less than 10,000 Radiants can kill or trap 200,000 Koloss without suffering losses or running out of Stormlight this discussion makes no sense. All the powers of the Radiants depend on the stormlight and the amount that each Radiant can hold and carry is not unlimited, so whatever they do to the Koloss and other Allomancers will drastically decrease the amount of light. In my opinion, sacrificing all his Koloss TLR could kill more than half of the radiant and leave the others with a limited supply of light. In your opinion, the Radiant would not even suffer a loss so it makes no sense to discuss further.

This is because you overestimate the Radiant and underestimate the TLR troops. First Not all radians have Shardplate. On coppermind it is specified that most of the Skybreakers never get it seeing that it requires to complete a mission that sometimes takes decades. Kaladin and Teft have had to suffer terribly to pronounce the 3rd oath, and the 4th is probably worse. And Shallan is gone mad to get his plate. If this applies to all orders, probably only 10/20% has a plate. the others has only the blade or nothing, and must use metal weapons and armor. Which makes them easy prey for Inquisitors, Mistborn, Hazekiller teams and Koloss. Second the Kolss are absolutely not stupid and slow beasts, they are living weapons created for the sole purpose of annhillating the opposing armies. During the siege of luthadel the "savage" Koloss were able to use simple and effective tactics. They uprooted trees to use them as rams and threw giant rocks with god precision against the besieged. A medium-sized Koloss is the equivalent of a mobile catapult that can cut a man in two with a single swing. And in Fardex most of the Koloss died because Elendel lost control and they started killing each other. TLR would certainly not suffer from this weakness. Indeed, given its millennial experience, under its control the Koloss could be very coordinated and use very complex attack strategy. third. The power of the Elsecaller is overrated. In the first book Jansnah, who pronounced the 4th oath, manages to soulcast the first bandit because it surprises him, the second because he stumbles and finally destroys his gem to kill the other 2 at a distance. Even destroying the stone at Kabbarath costs her a gem. Considering that Soulcast is based on convincing a creature to change I see it hard to use it on Koloss that are directly controlled by an almost divine will. In the first clash Scadrinal would lose tens of thousands of Koloss, but the Radants would lose the majority of their minor members and consume an enormous amount of stromlight. And this without TLR having done anything yet. Although I don't believe that Scadrial's victory is absolutely certain. For Roshar and the Radiant the war would be worse than a desolation.

Your premise is wrong. Throughout their lives, your Roshar workers raised 1/3 lighter weights than Scadrinal's workers. Same thing for the soldiers of the two factions those of Roshar have always worn lighter materials and made less effort. Those of Scadrinal is as if they had carried a weight of 20/30 kg on their shoulders for life. To adapt to an environment with greater gravity, the inhabitants of Scadrinal must have stronger bones and stronger muscles. It is not just a question of training but of genetics and evolution. To take an example, the Star Trek Vulcans are born on a planet with a gravity higher than Earth's and consequently they are 3 times stronger than humans. So a simple Scadrinal soldier could be 2 times stronger than one of Roshar and a Pewterman 4/6 times stronger. Enough to easily use Dalinar's hammer. In an environment with a gravity higher than that of Roshar and lower than that of Scadrinal the Shardwarriors would find themselves in difficulty against the simple Pewterman.

You must also consider the difference in gravity. basically a resident of Scadrial is much stronger and more resilient than a resident of Roshar. I am not very familiar with the subject but I believe that the difference must be calculated exponentially and not linearly. So a pewterman should be much stronger than a Shardbearer.

I do not agree. On coppermind it is specified that a Seeker is able to perceive the active use of the investiture so a Lightweaver approaching the enemy camp would be immediately discovered. Probably even a Tineye could do it, the illusions of a lightweaver are perfect to deceive the normal senses. But they don't necessarily work as well with the enhanced senses of an Allomancer.

Why would parshedi in warform be dangerous to the Koloss when they are barely able to withstand an alethy army? Moreover, givethe difference in gravity between Roshar and Scadrial the Koloss would be much stronger than normal and therefore more dangerous. The fused are powerful but they are very few, and sooner or later they would end up the voidlight. And even reaping hundreds of victims, sooner or later they would be overwhelmed. Same thing for the Thunderclas, the Koloss weapons are like huge steel mace, sooner or later and with huge losses they would prevail. Or it could deal with TLR directly with a steelpush + duralluminium. At that point TLR should simply transform the captured and injured Parshedi into new Koloss reducing their losses to a minimum. A steelrunner or mistborn with the atium should simply thrust a dagger into the visor slit until it overlaps the brain and break the blade there. maybe a dagger for each eye. When Shallan is pierced by the crossbow dart he does not die, but loses control of a part of the body. So much so that he needs help getting the dart out, and then he faints. For the inquisitors the same speech. A coin or a obsidian dagger through the slit of the helmet. Or he could pick up a Koloss blade and destroy the shardplate. Pewter A + Steel F would give it an unbridgeable advantage.

I think that in a clash between a herald and a fullborn it would be the second to come out a winner as it has access to many more capabilities. In addition to zinc and steel, to increase its speed he can use zinc and copper to manipulate the emotions of the other and upset it or make it a vegetable using duralumin. Then we have to consider chrome, we don't know what actually makes fortune. Using a great deal of fortune could make you immune to any enemy attacks.

Probably Skybreaker.

Population in Scadrial is little more than a nation as France or Spain. Roshar is an entire continet as U.S.A or Russia in a long time war this is a great advantage to Roshar.

I think the best way to fly for an Iron Compounder is to use a mechanism similar to a helicopter's blades. Lighten yourself and make quick shots on a series of gears connected to a propeller.
