- Motto: "Follow your instincts and your common sense."
Windblade would prefer to strike from the air. She'd use her speed advantage to strafe and bomb Drift. He'd try hard to shoot her or knock her down with thrown objects. However, she's very skilful and manoeuverable. He'd need to take cover.
If there is a sword fight, it could go either way. Windblade has greater skill and agility while Drift has more strength and armour. Basically, it's ninja vs. samurai. Drift has his 'great sword' but it won't help if he can't land a blow.
Anyway, why fence when guns are superior? I'm guessing that Windblade wins eventually with repeated aerial assaults. Drift might scrape a win with accurate anti-aircraft fire. The loser would flee quickly to avoid death.
Windblade would have some extra advantage thanks to her mind-links with Titans. They'd share their knowledge with her, including their battlefield observations. In effect, she'd gain fighting experience from them.
I can't help mentioning that I coined the name 'Wind-Blade' (with a hyphen) in my TFArchive.com story 'The Cosmic Jungle' (2007).
