Also, since this is 1-E, enemies have massive avo (wtf 50 avo armors) so the skl/hit leads actually matter. In 3-6, Tarvos Nolan can take an extra hit vs the tigers and cats (3HKO and 4HKO respectively to Zihark's 2HKOn and 3HKO), and Zihark can avoid a bit better and has better offense since Nolan doesn't double anyone and Zihark doubles all of them, so it's somewhat debatable, I suppose. 3-13 is similar except both can take an extra hit from those enemies, and Nolan one-rounds hawks (lolcrossbow) and barely Tigers, while Zihark one-rounds hawks and cats, and has a better chance of one-rounding tigers thanks to crit/adept than Nolan does vs cats (who he doens't double). 3-12... w/e about 3-12, it's the laguz chapters that are actually hard. I'm too lazy to bring up calculations for 4-P to 4-5, but they're both probably doing fine though, since the first part 4 chapter consists of enemies about as strong as what the GMs fought (and we all know how difficult those chapters are >_>) and they promote in the 2nd one and start raping the enemies anyway. Then entering 4-E... 20/20/5 Nolan, A Zihark 55.4 HP, 30.3 str, 9.8 mag, 30.8 skl, 31.4 spd, 17.2 lck, 23.9 def, 18.6 res 3 authority stars... 140 avo 20/20/6 ZIhark, A Nolan 46.1 HP, 26.7 str, 12.2 mag, 35.75 skl, 35.5 spd, 19.8 lck, 20.5 def, 20.75 res 3 authority stars... 150.8 avo Enemies have 160 hit at best (before biorhythm), so neither are getting hit very often (Nolan might, but he has 28 def with Tarvos vs 40 att enemies so it doesn't matter anyway). Offensively, Tarvos Nolan vs Silver Blade Zihark means Nolan has 5-6 more att (1-2 if Zihark has the Vague Katti, and back to 5-6 if Nolan takes Urvan) and he's doubling everything except SMs, but between Zihark's 38 or so crit (probably about 20 after enemy lck), ~18% Astra, and 35.5% adept, he gets one of those three ~80% of the time, which isn't that bad, so I'd say they're both doing fairly well, Nolan probably doing a bit better. 4-E-2 is similar, but in the other three parts (particulalry the dragons), the enemies start getting a lot more hit (dragons have 160-180 depending on the type and spirits do as well depending on time), and the def starts to almost not matter since everyone except the red dragons and Degh (who's gay anyway) attack res, not to mention Zihark has access to the wyrmslayer and can use Alondite or Tempest Blade (Nolan has to fall on Tomahawk for 2 range). Zihark wins all of part 1. While Nolan is fighting in 5 more chapters, Zihark beats Nolan down pretty badly when the two both exist. Part 3 is debatable. They're pretty close in part 4. I think Zihark's still doing a bit better though, particularly since lots of enemies start to get 2-range, and Zihark can get Alondite or Tempest Blade while Nolan has to fall on Tomahawks. I'm giving the nod to Zihark.
