Quellon Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Who wins in a swordfight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Yozza Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'd hesitantly say Dayne? Both are amazing obviously, and alongside Cregan Stark, Barristan and Daemon Blackfyre I'd say they are the top swordsmen Westeros has ever seen. But I think Dayne would take it, if both fought with regular blades. If you give Aemon Dark Sister and Dayne Dawn then maybe it changes; Dawn isn't quite Valyrian steel after all.

No, but is still as awesome-meteorite steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Umber Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Dragonknight. He's clearly better since he never lost to some stinky frog eating bog devil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Dawn is supposed to be better than Valyrian steel. It is made of iron inside a star. While Valyrian steel, no matter how fancy it is, is made of iron of earth. GRRM is saluting to Tolkien here. Eol's sword made of shooting star can cut all swords made of iron from earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asteroid/comet iron is no different than earth iron. If it were, it wouldn't be iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Storm Reborn Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Dayne in a sword-only duel, slightly better imo (being barristan's equal with a sword) 6.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Aegon the 4th Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I think it would a half a day fight I think both would score hits but Dayne I think, it would probably go 10/9.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it, unless there's more in TWOIAF? Cause I haven't read that yet. On 1/21/2017 at 10:33 AM, purple-eyes said: <snip It is made of iron inside a star.

Asteroid/comet iron is no different than earth iron. If it were, it wouldn't be iron. It's made from the "heart" of a fallen star. We don't know that it was iron in the star. If Dayne is using Dawn, I think he'd win but not by much. Nice as Valyrian Steel is, no one ever said it would make the difference in a duel with Barristan the Bold.

If you don't know, you don't need to contradict me. You don't know, so don't. Pretty simple. Or you could just read TWOIAF or the wiki FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnar, P.I. Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Wasn't the Dragonknight so good he humbled his psycho king bro-Targ? That says quite a bit... and like Darkstar says Arthur Dayne just had a sweet sword. That being said, when it comes to swords I'll take me some Dawn.

Pretty simple. Or you could just read TWOIAF or the wiki FFS It was not about contradicting you. It was about discussing the swords. You were not the only person quoted. I've read the wiki, but I don't know how often it's updated. I was allowing for the possibility that there is more info available, and you might have said info and be interested in sharing it with other fans for the sake of the discussion. Apparently I was mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't worship Stannis at all, in fact in another thread about Brotherhood Without Banners I criticised him. Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordMiddleFinger Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think that Aemon the Dragonknight was better. He would solo Ned Stark and his girlfriends had he been alive and present during the battle at TOJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
