Percy Jackson vs. Eragon
Both are book versions only. Morals are off, Eragon gets his dragon. Battle is near a river. They start off with Eragon on Saphira 100 feet away and Percy ten feet away from the river. Who wins?
vs.
...Shouldn't Percy get his flying Pegasus Black Jack?it only gives him flying advantage -which he doesn't need- its better to keep him in water.
he should be invulnerable to whatever the dragon lands on him.
I'd also say he has better combat speed, deflecting bullets with his sword in sea of monsters compared to eragon catching arrows.
Eh, I guess you're right. I just saw the comparison between Percy being able to talk to Black Jack with his mind. And Eragon doing the same with Saphira.
But...lol all BlackJack can really do in this fight is fly, so he'd be worthless - which is what you said.
I'm not entirely sure that Percy has faster combat speed than Eragon, who got boosted into an elf giving him superhuman strength, speed, everything.
I'd put them as equal since I forget the specific examples of how much faster Elfs were than humans.
Furthermore, there aren't bullets in Eragon. You can't really argue that Percy is faster since the projectiles he deflected are faster than the projectiles Eragon caught - they both are faster than the projectiles of their respective worlds.

He becomes basically unkillable. Only high tier magic can affect him. In water he has limitless stamina and augmented strength and skill, with his ADHD he has acutely sharp combat senses.
With moral off, actually even with morals on, Eragon could break into his mind and kill him with 1 word.
Death words have to be restricted for this fight
@buttersdaman000: It has never been shown how magic works against demi and gods within inheritance we can't just assume it will work!
Magic doesnt work the same in Eragons books as they do most others though. All he has to do is break into Percys mind and say/think a death word....and Percy will die, whether it be from heart stoppage, nerve in his brain being shut off, or whatever.
@Jezer:
I think Eragons regular magic wont work as well on Percy since he is a demigod.
@Jezer said:Yeah, the Elf upgrade for Eragon and River Styx upgrade for Percy is what makes this a really good fight. I forget, did Percy ever show any telepathic defense or skill?..he did fight off Kronos trying to come into his mind...but that was in dreams.
Oh okay. I don't think that's enough to show he can stand up to Eragon's telepathic assualt, though.
Ahh ok...so his heart cant even be commanded to stop beating?
Also, how powerful does the magic have to be to effect Percy?
But, if Eragon couldnt possibly defeat Percy through sword combat since he is invulnerable that only leave telepathy and magic.
@difficlus: Ahh ok...so his heart cant even be commanded to stop beating? Also, how powerful does the magic have to be to effect Percy? But, if Eragon couldnt possibly defeat Percy through sword combat since he is invulnerable that only leave telepathy and magic.Only Lord Kronos has been seen affecting him. The usual magic that would kill him doesn't hurt him anymore. However Kronos slows/freezes down time (he's the god of time) and though percy wasn't completely frozen he was moving in slow motion only.
@buttersdaman000: I have read the Eragon books but what I am saying we have never seen how this magic would work against a demi god or god, we have never seen how his magic would effect anyone of that level.
Hmm I dont think eragons magic would work then......maybe if he combined his strength with Saphira, but seeing as how a god couldnt completely affect Percy, I dont think Eragon and Saphira should.
That only leaves TP, which Eragon is a master with. He could break into Percy's mind and incapacitate him with pain and sift through his thoughts until he finds Percys one weak point.

With morals of the first thing Eragon would do is break into Percys mind and use a death word. Once that fails he would probably press harder into percys mind, causing a lot of pain in the process. Once he finds the reason he keeps up his assault, walks up to percy and stabs him in his weak spot.
Yeah, but Durza's memories were screwing with Eragon which allowed Durza to slash him in the back before Eragon could react
@Jezer: Yeah, but Durza's memories were screwing with Eragon which allowed Durza to slash him in the back before Eragon could react
Okay. Just making sure he can sword fight and telepathically fight at the same time.
Difficlus- I don't remember his telepathy being based in magic. But I'm not too sure. However, I think it's different from the magic they use - as I don't remember him using wards or saying anything to perform it.
No, I just think you have to be trained in it. But it comes easier to those who can wield magic.
Rooting for Eragon since this thread reminded me how he had some solid telepathy going on in the books.
@davdjams said:
by putting percy near water this has made things very difficult for eragon but as people have already established death words would be effective in this case.
They wouldn't because most death words shut down the heart or affect parts of the body that are invunerable on Percy.
Eragon would have to break into his mind, find out his weakness, and specifically attack the small of his back.
Eragon has this, TP should be enough, he has also a better sword and Saphira is here, I really can't see how Percy could win. If somehow Percy resists TP, then one of the twelve killing spells, or a decently powerfull magic blast should do.
@Jezer: OP only states that they are book versions, which implies the most current one, and in Neptune's Son he loses the curse. But even if he had the curse Eragon would still defeat him, would be a better fight but Eragon is still out of his league in terms of swordsmanship and mental powers, this might change though, as there are still a few more books to come.

Neptune's Son was released in October after this thread was initially made, thus the current book version the OP meant was him at the end of the last Olympian.
Also, why do you think Percy is out of league in his swordsmanship? What argument do you have for that?
waste of time after the last book percy became invincible with only one secret weak spot eragon is toast
@Jezer: Oh yeah, didn't see when the thread was made.
As for why Eragon is out of his league, first Eragon has the body of an elf, which makes him stroger, faster, and gives him better reflexes than a normal human, and he has better training with better masters, he was trained by Brom, trained with Murtagh, Arya and Oromis, while Percy is more of a self taught swordsman, he never had any formal training ( unless you count his few classes with Luke ). With the curse Eragon can't really hurt him in a direct way, so he'd have to enter Percy's mind and discover his weak spot.

Percy is a demi-god which gave him natural fighting skill, speed, and reflexes before he was even trained at Camp Half Blood. He's matched blades with The God of War who's been alive for how many thousands of years? And managed to injure him. He's matched swords with the God of Time. He's extremely battle tested, regardless of not being trained as extensively as Eragon, which shows his skill.
Training doesn't necessarily matter - Murtagh was able to best Eragon despite his training at the Battle of Burning Plains. Roran was able to best a multitude of soldiers despite his lack of training.
I wouldn't say either of them have necessarily shown better sword skill than the other. They're both proficient swordsmen who rely a great deal on their swordsmanship.
But yes, Eragon would win through his mental attack.
