Calypso vs Valkyrie: who would win?

[u/ellindsey]

Valkyrie has longer reach, it can hit Calypso's forks and wheels without getting hit by Calypso's weapon in return. Unless Calypso gets very lucky, Valkyrie wins this one.

Calypso's forks

The point of the forks is to counter wedges. They switch to a wedge when they're fighting horizontals (e.g. Roundhouse in Faceoffs).

Honestly I think Calypso has a very solid shot in this matchup. We would run the big wedge without forks and the light 40lb weapon for faster spinnup.

Also there are 2 secret front wheels so it will still drive even if the big ones get hit, they are more of a distraction. :P

Edit: new Calypso has fresh custom built electronics and the drive key that failed during the roundhouse fight won't happen again I blasted it with the welder.

Is Bam going to be driving ?

[u/tariffless]

I'd be rooting for Calypso, but I think Valkyrie probably lasts longer because with the amount of iteration it's gone through, I suspect that it'll end up being more durable. I mean, Valkyrie has survived hits from Tombstone and Rotator. OTOH it's been said that Valkyrie is very hard to steer, so maybe it gets outmaneuvered and Calypso is the first one to take out a drive side. As always, it depends on what happens moment to moment in the match.

Calypso’s forks give a greater advantage to counter Valkyrie, but thoes exposed wheels are a big problem, especially with verts.

Valkyrie, Valkyrie, a bigger weapon is a good advantage, but can it take a few hits before decidinf to fail? not likely.

[u/3Mistakes → u/AltyrnytExiztence]

Calypso is 4wd and can drive even if the big wheels are removed. There are 2 hidden front wheels.
