Mughal Warrior: The fierce Islamic conqueror of India who forced even the mighty Rajputs to convert to Islam.
(A Mughal warrior clashes with a Rajput and dodges a swing from the man's khanda. He takes his talwar and swings it cutting deep into the rajput's face.)
vs.
Viking: The savage and ferocious behemoth who plundered and pillaged ancient Europe.
(A Viking duels with a much smaller opponent who tries to thrust his sword into the Scandanavian's gut. The Viking takes his Dane axe and brings it down on the man's shoulder nearly cleaving him in half.)
WHO IS DEADLIEST?
To find out, we've assembled a team of world class fighters to test history's most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when two warriors go toe to toe.
No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death to decide who is…THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!
Here in our elite fight club we have gathered doctors, medical scientists and weapons experts to test out the lethal arsenals wielded by each of our combatants to determine who would win a fight between two warriors who conquered and crush all who stood before them.

''We've got a pretty good fight today on DW: Alternate Matches boys. We have to famed warriors who conquered and destroyed everyone they crossed paths with. On one end you have the Mughal who conquered India and ruled for over 400 years. They even kicked the Rajput's ass. Then you have the Viking who came from the icy north and pillaged ancient Europe with an unmatched ferocity.'' DeadAliveManiac started off.
''I have to give my edge to the Viking in this fight gents. He has weapons that can definitely pierce through the Mughal's armor and his weapons pack incredible force and that ferocious and savage attitude is gonna help him.'' Zivon96 explained.
''Well, I suppose but the Mughal has the better long range weapon and is a well-trained warrior fighting for a better reason.'' MKDemigodZ-Warrior countered.
''Two famed conquering warriors, almost similar armor and are some very ferocious warriors. Let's see who takes the fight.'' PFC Rice Man concluded
The Islamic conquerors came equipped with a lethal arsenal that allowed them to rule for 400 years.
Short Range: Talwar
Mid-Range: Mughal Mace
Long Range: North Indian Composite Bow
Special: Bichuwa
In turn, the savage raider from the frigid north came into battle with weapons that allowed him to cut down all opposition.
Short Range: Viking Longsword
Mid-Range: Dane Axe
Long Range: Boar Spear
Special: Skeggox
When these warriors came up close with their enemies, they brought with them two drastically different blades. The Mughal talwar and the Viking's longsword.
The team now reviews the testing of both swords in their debut episodes before coming to a discussion. Let's see what they say.
''Honestly, I have to give the edge to the talwar because it has sheer cutting power and sabers usually best their straight-bladed counterparts.'' DAM said.
''Sadly DAM I have to disagree and give it to the Viking's longsword because he can easily thrust and slash with ease while the talwar can thrust, it's primarily a slashing weapon and that won't do well against the Viking's riveted chainmail.'' Zivon countered.
''Well, I suppose the Viking's longsword takes the edge.'' Demigod said.
''In my opinion though I think I'll call this one a draw. One has reach and can thrust and slash with ease while the other cuts deeper into the body. The Viking has to worry about the plated portion of the Kavacha.'' Rice Man concluded.
In short range weapons, it's an even comparison.
Moving on to mid-range weapons, these warriors brought two very different weapons they used to bludgeon and hack their enemies.
The team now reviews the testing of both the Mughal mace and the Dane axe in their various appearances and it doesn't take long for them to come to a decision.
''This is an easy one, the Mughal mace will have no problem destroying the Viking even through his chainmail but it's a bludgeoning weapon. The Dane axe will definitely leave more than a mark on the Mughal's armor.'' DAM explained.
''The Dane axe makes you look like a train ran you over. That damage alone wins me over every time.'' Zivon seconded.
''Well, I suppose you're both right but the axe is really slow.'' Demigod said.
''Bladed weapons beat bludgeoning weapons a majority of the time. The axe has my edge.'' Rice Man concluded.
In mid-range weapons, the edge goes to the Viking for the Dane axe.
When the battle went out to long range, these warriors relied on very different methods of taking foes down from a distance.
The team now reviews the testing of the Mughal's composite bow and the Viking's boar spear in their previous appearances and it doesn't take long to come to an edge.
''Easy, the bow has range and with the skill the Mughals used it there's no chance for the Viking at long range.'' DAM said.
''The boar spear is really impressive indeed but the Mughal's greater skill with his weapons takes it.'' Zivon seconded.
''Well, I suppose but the Viking can throw two spears at once.'' Demigod inquired.
''Doesn't matter if he can throw two spears. The Mughal's bow provides range the spears wish they had and can easily pierce the riveted chainmail.'' Rice Man concluded.
In long range weapons, the edge goes to the Mughal warrior for the North Indian composite bow.

Now, for special weapons these warriors brought two different blades weapons to slice, hack and sever their enemies. The Mughal's bichuwa dagger and the Viking's skeggox bearded axe.
''Both weapons allow for fast movement thanks to their concealability, however with the bichuwa it has more blade, more blade equals more kills and options.'' DAM said.
''I like the skeggox for it's speed, but you mainly hack away with that weapon so I'm giving this one to the bichuwa.'' Zivon added.
''Well, I suppose.'' Demigod said.
''One thing the bichuwa has over the skeggox is this, thrusting and that will allow the Mughal to pierce the riveted chainmail, it will be difficult but he can still pierce the armor unlike the skeggox.'' Rice Man concluded.
In special weapons, the edge goes to the Mughal warrior for the bichuwa.
And finally, we now compare these warriors' suit of armor with the Mughal's kavacha plated mail against the Viking's riveted chainmail.
''No brainer here, the Viking's riveted chainmail will protect him against not only slashes, but thrusting weapons as well. The Mughal however, is incorporating plates in his armor and his shield isn't made of wood.'' DAM started off.
''I am giving it to the Mughal based on the fact that he has plates in his armor adding an extra level of protecting against thrusting weapons.'' Zivon seconded.
''Well, I suppose but every weapon the Viking has can pierce the Mughal armor.'' Demigod said.
''For the addition of steel plates in his armor and a metal shield, the Mughal takes the edge. A very slight one though.'' Rice Man concluded.
In armor, the Mughal warrior takes a narrow edge for his kavacha plated mail.

Welcome back to the fight club, here we tested the weapons wielded by two ferocious conquering warriors to decide who is deadliest.
For short range weapons, the blades of these two warriors, the talwar and longsword proved to be equally effective.
''These two weapons can slash and thrust with no difficulties. The amount of damage they can cause is extraordinary. Plus they'll have difficulties with the opposing armor.'' DAM explained.
Edge: Even
For mid-range weapons, the Viking's Dane axe hacked and destroyed the Mughal's mace.
''Bladed weapons beat bludgeoning weapons almost ten times out of time. The amount of trauma the axe cause helps it in the long run.'' Zivon explained.
Edge: Viking
For long range weapon, the Mughal's composite bow proved deadlier than the Viking's boar spear.
''For range and armor piercing power the Mughal's composite bow will take the edge.'' Rice Man explained.
Edge: Mughal Warrior
For special weapons, the Mughal's bichuwa decapitated the Viking's skeggox.
''The bichuwa has more blade and more blades equal more options and kills. Quite simple honestly.'' DAM said.
Edge: Mughal Warrior
And finally, for armor the Mughal's kavacha plated mail proved more effective than the Viking's riveted chainmail.
''Well, I suppose. The Mughal does have plates in his armor making it more protective but I still think the Viking's weapons can break through it.'' Demigod concluded.
Edge: Mughal Warrior
And now Metal Harbinger, our resident computer wizz will gauge the x-factors.
''First and foremost it's training and I think we all know who takes this one. The Mughal gets a 96 to the Viking's 81.''
''Second is endurance and both warriors will have a 90 each. They used weapons that required a lot of physical strength to wield which isn't easy.''
''For ferocity the Mughal leads with a 94 to the Viking's 89. They forced people to convert to Islam or die.''
''Next up is physicality and both are tied with a 91 each. They wore heavy armor and again, used weapons that required great strength.''
''For killer instinct the Viking was born a killer and had no fear of dying on the battlefield. He has a 100 to the Mughal's 92.''
''Last but not least, we have intimidation. I had to make this one even because on on end, you have a group of big, blonde haired guys with huge axes ready to charge you and you have the Mughals who made you convert to Islam or you'll die. 95 each.''
Metal Harbinger has finished gauging the x-factors, now he will run the simulator one-thousand times in a duel to the death.
Who will win between two feared conquering warriors?
''In the end, only one man will remain standing, let's see who wins it all.'' Metal said before hitting the enter key.

In the outskirts of the Mughal capital Agra we see a lone Mughal patrolling the outer forest. Recently his brethren have encountered a group of unknown warriors from the frigid north and he has decided to head out to join the battle.
In hand strapped to his back he carries his mace while in hand he has his bow and on his side sheathed his talwar.
He hears rustling of leaves ahead and looks forward and spots a big, burly figure emerge from the brush. Out of the brush comes a man with long, blonde hair and a long beard carrying a longsword in hand.
The Mughal and Viking come to a halt as they spot each other and begin staring the other down.
After a few minutes the Viking takes his skeggox and begins beating it against his shield while shouting at the Islamic warrior hoping to intimidate him.
Undeterred, the Mughal takes an arrow and strings it onto his bow and takes aim at the Viking. Unleashing the arrow he sends it flying straight at the Viking but the norseman only raises his shield and manages to intercept the arrow.
Taking his skeggox he then places his shield in front of him and begins charging his adversary.
Seeing this, the Mughal tosses his arrow aside and draws his talwar and shield to wait patiently for the Viking to come.
However, due to the Viking's larger size he hits the Mughal with such force that it knocks him off his feet and sends him falling to the ground. With his opponent down the Viking quickly brings his skeggox down onto the Islamic warrior only for him to raise his dhal to block the blow.
The Viking takes his skeggox and goes in for another hack but the Mughal rolls out of the way and get back to his feet. He then swings his talwar and manages to hit the norseman in his side but the blow was blocked by the riveted chainmail.
Growling in annoyance, the Viking swings his shield and knocks the talwar from his foe's grip and follows through with an overhead swing with his skeggox.
The Mughal effortlessly dodges the attack and takes his mace and swings it horizontally and lands a blow on the Viking's side making the man grunt in pain.
Aggravated, the Viking does a 360 degrees swing with his skeggox but the Mughal swings his mace as well and strikes the skeggox with enough power to knock the beared axe out of the Viking's hand.
The Viking watches on as the Mughal raises his mace and with his wooden shield, raises it to block the blows from the mace but the sheer power of the weapon sends him falling on his behind.
The Mughal gives the Viking repeated blows but each attack was blocked from the wooden shield. The Islamic warrior begins to feel winded from the swings and stops momentarily to catch his breath.
Seeing this the Viking unsheathes his longsword, then swings his shield sideways causing the Mughal to lose his mace and follows suit with an upwards thrusts upward getting the Mughal in his ear.
Crying out in pain, the Mughal takes his hidden bichuwa in his sleeve and thrusts it into the Viking's forearm causing the norseman to drop his sword.
Freed from the pain of the sword cutting into his ear, the Mughal runs over to where his talwar laid and scoops it and his shield up and begins to retreat. Now very pissed off, the Viking yanks the bichuwa out of his arm and runs over to a nearby tree to get both his boar spear and axe he had stashed there and gives chase.
The Mughal runs into an open meadow and turns to see the Viking following him. The raider takes his spear and hurls it at the Islamic warrior who effortlessly dodges the projectile.
Now left with his Dane axe, the Viking charges the Mughal and brings the axe down in hopes of chopping the Mughal's head in half but the Islamic warrior dodges to the side and swings his talwar, again the riveted chainmail does it's job of protecting it's wearer.
The blow only serves to further anger the Viking who bashes the Mughal away with his shield sending the man stumbling sideways. He follows through with a sideways swing that hits the Mughal's helmet knocking it off and kicks the man in the gut sending him falling to the ground.
Now that his opponent was wide open from the blows, he takes his axe in both hands and goes to bring the axe down onto the Mughal's exposed face but the Islamic warrior summons enough energy to rolls out of the way.
Talwar in hand, he brings it down onto the Viking's wrist and severs his hand. Screaming in pure terror and pain the Viking looks at his bleeding stump in horror before the Mughal swings his talwar downward slicing the Viking's left leg off at the knee.
Falling onto the ground broken mess, the Viking tries in vain to crawl away with his good hand but before he knows it he feels his helmet come off as he is turned onto his back and the last thing he sees was the Mughal bringing his saber down onto his face. The blade cutting his head literally in half at the bridge of the nose.
With his challenger dead, the Mughal takes a deep breath before raising his bloodied saber into the air and gives a loud cry of victory.

Following a battle between two ferocious and brutal conquering warriors. It would be the Mughal who wins. He won a close contested battle with 52.9% compared to the Viking's 47.1%. It was thanks to his armor which included plates adding an extra protective layer and his composite bow. The Viking was close behind him thanks to the power of his Dane axe and his armor was just as good plus his powerful longsword.
''The Mughal won because he was the better trained warrior, had slightly better armor and his skill with his bow allowed him to truimph.'' DAM explained.
''The Viking proved to be a serious threat to the Mughal for his larger size and powerful weaponry. He almost won but came up just a tad bit short.'' Zivon added.
Well, I suppose it makes sense. Eh.'' Demigod said.
''Another factor in which helped the Mughal win was because when they conquered India, they combined their own weaponry and ways of war with those they conquered and with the diverse group of enemies he fought he was too unpredictable and diverse challenger unlike the Viking had ever seen.'' Rice Man concluded.
(Following the brutal battle against the raider. The Mughal is seen heading back to his capital and with him he carries his opponent's Dane axe. A weapon he was very impressed with and hopes the weapon makers in his army will produce the very same weapon that almost killed him.)
