I neither fear, nor despise.
We've got two incredibly skilled opponents here.
Who would come out on top?

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
The Arbiter wins, no question.

Garrus is a cool guy, one of the best squadmates in ME, but can't take on The Arbiter.

Arby's tech, well Halo tech in general is just too advanced compared to Mass Effect.

Yeah, Mass Effect tech really is shit tier.

Unless Garrus got him in a very long corridor with no movement room, Thel wins hands down.

I think the Arbiter would take this one easily.

Arbiter vs. Shepard would be quit a bit more balanced.

Only if Shep was a Biotic, even then, Shep's most powerful Biotic push from ME1 would only stumble a Spartan 2.
I remember that someone did the maths, at a full sprint, a Biotic push headfirst wouldn't phase a Spartan.

I can't imagine Arby being lesser than a Spartan.

Thel at close-mid range, Garrus at long range.

What are their loadouts? Does Garrus get a sniper-type weapon? Does Thel get his sword?

I can't see Garrus winning at all in close combat, but if he has a sniper he might be able to pull off a win. Unless Thel gets close enough. Then Garrus is fucked.

Arby doesn't weigh two tons though.

Its any situation really. Dont forget Thel has a Carbine too, he's not limited to close combat with a sword.

Yeah, but he's not really a marksman type guy. Not saying he's inaccurate mind you, just that Garrus is a crack shot whereas Thel is more of a close-up fighter. Even in mid-range I can see Garrus doming him, but he'd get taken apart if Thel somehow gets close.

Thel is faster, stronger, with better shielding and possibly training.

Unless Garrus got him in a very long corridor with no movement room, Thel wins hands down.
Does he really have better shields though? IIRC the weapons in Mass Effect work in a similar manner to the mass arrays, effectively making them portable MAC guns. Those would punch through sangheili shields with ease, wouldn't they?

Oh yes they would. Though Thel's sword would cut through Garrus just as easily.

Only if Garrus would even let him get that close.

An awesome character, I wonder how he'd do against Iceman from the X-Men?
Might need to make a thread for that!

Plus, Garrus won't necessarily know that he needs to overload his equipment.
lolwhat
"Oh, he's using camouflage. I better overload his equipment"

It's not rocket science.

Knowing that he has it would mean that he saw him using said camo.
Thel's camo is literal dicks

I feel like it was probably nerfed in the game for "balance"

Look at the way active camo looks in Forward Unto Dawn

Halo 2 Camo was dreadful no doubt.
But anything else was pretty dang good.
