Sworn Shield Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Jon is better at taking arrows to the leg, Robb is better at taking arrows to the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ami Moonsinger Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I don't care who is better with the lance or the sword, that being said I prefer Jon in the books and Rob in the TV show..... And Ghost above them both...Nevertheless it is not a very fair comparison... Robb didn't get a POV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingelheim Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 It's not a fair comparision because Jon is one of the main charachters, and Robb appears in only 3 books and didn't have a POV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barristan the G.O.A.T Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Considering they received essentially the same training from the same teachers, I'd imagine it was pretty close. Personnally, I think the difference in the training yard at Winterfell was a matter of the large and stocky Robb having a strength advantage over Jon.BTW, I thought the "better sword/better lance" discussion was about Garlan/Loras Tyrell.You are right and wrong. GRRM actually mentioned it for both characters. Robb was also described as fast and strong while Jon was skilled and quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod The Impaler Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Jon. He has more rage. Rage always prevails when the opponent is unawares.I imagine that they both have the berserker rage. (We did not really see Robb use it, but then again he was rarely that angry - and when he was he didn;t have anyone he coulkd take it out on.)It may be a Stark thing, a warg thing.Arya nearly knocked a hole in Joffrey's head, ran a stableboy through, broke Lem Lemoncloak's nose, and charged the Hound with a knife, needing grown men to pull her away from him. Her age is not even double digits when this happens.The gods only know what sort of wildling kung-fu Rickon will have by the time he's grown up.

Jojens Mojjo Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Arya would stick them both full of holes.It is known. :agree: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visen Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm going to have to go with Jon, but I think it would have made for a good fight either way, maybe even a Gregor v Red Viper situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StannistheonetrueKing7 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I think its really difficult to call. Jon claims to have been a better swordsman early in Game of Thrones but he and Robb would not generally have practised with real steel very often at that time but would have used practise swords. By the time of say before the Red Wedding a couple of years have passed and Robb is a seasoned General fighting a hard war against the Lannisters and having won a few great victories and Jon has ventured beyond the wall and battled Wildlings etc. By that stage Robb could be a better Swordsman its very hard to call because they were both boys when Jon left for the Wall. I'd give the edge to the War hardened Robb just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
