Greetings and Welcome to another edition of my Who Would Win Series and it is going to be an all out war between Lelouch Vi Britannia from Code Geass vs Kane from The Command and Conquer Series
This is going to be an army vs army fight, since both Lelouch and Kane are leaders of their respective factions, The Black Knights and the Brotherhood of Nod Respectively.
For Lelouch's Info, I will do a background history for his story but, since he is not alone in this match up, he will have his fellow Black Knights, and other members of his army to fully demonstrate his overall capabilities in terms of Arsenal, Tactics, and feats
Kane will have his army of the Brotherhood. He will also have past followers that aided his cause over the course of Command and Conquer, for the sake of a full scale force.
This blog will be very different from previous match ups since it not only covers the Armies and Tactics for both sides, but Arsenal, Tech, Power Sources and Accomplishments are going to be the real factors in this war of epic proportions
So, without further ado, let's find out who is the real Master of Guerilla Warfare
Lelouch Vi Britannia/Lamperouge (Spoiler Free)
Lelouch is a teenaged Boy with an incredible story to behold. What is very complex about Lelouch however is that he is of royal blood. Yes, Lelouch is actually a Prince of the Britannian Empire, the most powerful Nation in the World.
At one point, Lelouch was destined to become an heir to the Britannian Throne, however, after witnessing the assassination of his Mother and the crippling of his innocent sister named "Nunnally", Lelouch took the matter to his own hands and confronted his father Charles to explain his actions. Unfortunately, this resulted in Lelouch being banished to Japan, removing his line up to the throne effectively.
However, this is where Lelouch gets a major turning point. You see, Lelouch stayed at the Kururugi Household, he met a fellow comrade named "Suzaku", who initially had a brief rivalry with Lelouch, but ultimately, became childhood friends :D!!!!! What a great story!!!
Overtime, Britannia developed powerful mechs of immense power known as Knightmares, because of this, Lelouch and Nunnally had to keep their identities a secret by changing their surname's to "Lamperouge" in order to be elusive and safe from Danger.
One faithful day will ultimately be the catalyst for Lelouch's Destiny. After a terrorist act that involved a truck containing "Special Cargo", Lelouch was eager to investigate the source. Turns out, this cargo was just a girl....... a girl that literally gives you the power of Geass!!!!!
After the moment, Lelouch eventually gained powers of a badass, and managed to become the symbol of hope and freedom for the People of Japan, however, he is best known as "Zero" and eventually, he managed to form an order of terrorists known as "The Black Knights" and has embarked on an epic quest to stop the Britannian Empire from conquering Japan and the World.......... This also resulted in many rescues, assassinations, epic battles and strategic footholds in the region to gain the upper hand.
In the end, Lelouch succeeded with his goal, and has managed to bring the world to a new era of peace and prosperity........ While Food Supplies ran short XD!!!!!!
That is a spoiler free background of Lelouch's Story. Now, let's see what the coolest guy in fiction can achieve both physically and "Tactically"
Geass
After having physical contact with the Geass Bearer known as "C.C", Lelouch has one of the most powerful abilities in, well, all of fiction. He has the "Power of Absolute Obedience", which is a complete mind control of the host's body and physical capabilities. Basically, once Lelouch Stares at you in the eyes, your under his command no matter what happens. He is so efficient, he is also able to Geass multiple people at once. The Speed of the Geass is quick, even people who held Lelouch at Gunpoint never pulled the trigger in time to stop him, he is that powerful.
Of course, the ability is limited to just one use at a time, but Lelouch is no idiot, he can fully control his victims to meet his demands until the time is right to turn off the Geass Control entirely. So really, Lelouch's Power alone is what makes him achieve anything he desires :D!!!!
The Black Knights
 |
| An Ensemble Cast. Too bad it ain't Sin City XD!!!! |
While Lelouch is individually powerful with his Geass, he doesn't quite have the power to conquer the world alone, thus, he has loads of followers that do his bidding and they are known as "The Black Knights"
For this section, I decided to only list the main players of the Black Knights, since some of the characters really did not do as many feats as the rest of the cast has achieved.
So, Lelouch's Main Followers are:
C.C
 |
| Akame with Green Hair <3!!! |
C.C is first and foremost, the most loyal member of the Black Knights, at least with regards to her loyalty to Lelouch. A very calm and somewhat hilariously adorable individual, C.C is by no means the typical "Damsel in Distress". With vast intellect, being immortal (cannot age also) and literally unable to be killed permanently, C.C is an extremely powerful individual.
C.C is able to detect individuals with Geass Power, and she can actually bestow Geass Powers to those she touches, for a contract of course. But it is also interesting to note that C.C can also sense non Geass bearers from a distance, even close proximity is enough to allow C.C to inflict mental instability to the victim.
Also, C.C is highly skilled in piloting Knightmares and is extremely crafty in dire situations. As mentioned before, C.C is Immortal and she has endured a crap ton of stuff that rival's Godzilla's list of durability feats (Quantity Wise XD!!) The list of insane durability feats for C.C alone are:
- Shot in the forehead but ended up coming back to life the next day
- Was inside an Iron Maiden
- Was Beheaded........ She came back!!!!!
- Burnt to the Stake, since she is branded as a "Witch"
- Crushed by Water Pressure
Overall, C.C's simple background is enough to showcase her potential. She is adorable, powerful, but most importantly, her most powerful assets are......
 |
| Best way to advertise Pizza Hut and Dominoes XD!!! |
And......
 |
| ................. The end of not loving Cuteness XD!!! |
Yeah, Cheese Kun..... C.C is also a living advertisement for Pizza Hut.............. Can we get one for the Car Brand Honda? XD!!!!
Kallen Kozuki
Kallen is one of, if not, the most skilled and accomplished Knightmare Pilot of the Black Knights, rivaled only by fellow comrades Todoh and Jeremiah, but Kallen's Knightmare alone more than lives up to her claim as the absolute Best
While Kallen is certainly capable physically, her Knightmare, The Guren Mark 2, is a whopper of a whopper
 |
| Guren Mark 2 S.E.I.T.E.N |
Armed with a Maser Sword, Slash Harkens, The Radiant Wave Surger, and a badass Beam attack, the Guren Mark 2 has incredible versatility and power. Oh, and it is also very mobile, as it uses it's wings to fly across battlefields for greater range and strategic opportunities like ambush and charging downwards for greater momentum..... Very versatile :D!!!!
Kyoshiro Todoh
A no nonsense individual, Todoh is one of the most skilled members of the Black Knights. While Todoh may seem harsh and very critical, he is still a very calm combatant which works to his advantage since he never loses his cool despite how dire situations are.
Todoh is so skilled, he is able to accomplish impossible odds using tactics and creative techniques that make him, a tactical genius. And Todoh's Rating as a pilot is a perfect score of 100 out of 100..... That's legendary indeed :D!!!!
Todoh pilots the Knightmare Zangetsu, his most famous and well known Knightmare Frame.
 |
| Zangetsu |
The Zangetsu is armed with the Radiant Shielding, Revolving Sword, Slash Harkens and it's hair ornaments are also used to block attacks. How come Sindel from Mortal Kombat doesn't do it? Least Bayonetta took lessons from Todoh XD!!!!
Speed Wise, The Zangetsu is comparable to The Guren Mark 2 and Lancelot, both of whom can travel at borderline Faster than Light Speeds. And it's fitting for The Zangetsu to scale to both, since it has fought the Lancelot and even Xingke's Knightmare Shen Hu, who is one of the fastest and most powerful Knightmare Frames in the Code Geass Series
Jeremiah Gottwald
The Count Dooku of Code Geass (Though not as poorly written and leagues above Dooku in terms of coolness), Jeremiah Gottwald is hands down, one of the most interesting and complex characters of Code Geass
While Jeremiah was one of Lelouch's enemies initially, he eventually joined his cause and became one of the Black Knight's most powerful assets.
His Geass has the ability to eliminate Geass Control on the victims, this actually was demonstrated on Lelouch's Girlfriend Shirley Fenette, who had her memories erased by Lelouch, until Jeremiah came by and restored her memories to normal after using his power.
Geass Powers aside, Jeremiah is also an extremely efficient Knightmare Pilot. Using the Sutherland Sieg and another known as the Giga Fortress, Jeremiah is has multiple Knightmare Frames he has used consistently
 |
| Sutherland Sieg |
Unlike most Knightmare Frames, the Sutherland Sieg actually has a very unique design. It's armaments are unique in that it has an Electrical Shock System that can be lethal to those in close proximity, even disabling Knightmare Systems at close range, has a three tube Missile Launcher that can fire multiple rockets at once that can destroy entire battalions of enemies, and has a float system that makes it levitate across the ground and is used for superior mobility in the air.
Jeremiah also pilots the predecessor, the Giga Fortress, and it is one of the most durable Knightmares in Code Geass
 |
| The Giga Fortress |
Unlike the Sutherland Sieg, the Giga Fortress does have a more unique design, it is more like a floating craft and has a built in Spinning Defense System, Electrical Shock System, and Slash Harkens and a Hadron Cannon
 |
| It's a Spinning Top Toy! |
On a final note for Jeremiah, he has the tendency to commit a kamikaze styled maneuver and self destruct his Knightmares in order for the mission to be completed. Thus, Jeremiah is a very dedicated and loyal asset to those he serves.
Rolo Lamperouge
Rolo Lamperouge is actually a boy who became Lelouch's "Foster Brother" in the Second Season of Code Geass...... well, not exactly hahahah.
Regardless of Family Ties (Great sitcom btw, go watch Michael J Fox in action :D!!!!) Rolo as a war asset is a very powerful individual.
Not necessarily a skilled combatant, Rolo makes up for it with one of the most over powered Geass Abilities in Code Geass......... A Time Stop known as "Ward of Absolute Suspension". This ability literally is, a game ending technique that gives Rolo and his chosen friends the time to make quick decisions in dire situations. Rolo has even done this for Lelouch in order to achieve Lelouch's goals..... Oh yes, Rolo is indeed gonna be a huge factor in this match up after all
 |
| Rolo's Geass in effect XD!!!! (Nothing is moving. That means it works) |
While the Geass Ability of a Time Stop is amazing, the limitations are still consistent in that it can strain Rolo's body with repeated uses. Much like Jotaro Kujo's "Za Warudo" from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It also does not stop projectiles and traveling objects and Rolo can only stop Time in a limited Range. Thankfully, when used, it is very powerful and very handy for any situation. Oh, and Rolo can assassinate anyone with the Time Stop....... Esdeath vibes anyone? ;)
The Other Comrades
While The Elite Black Knights are indeed amazing, Lelouch has more people at his disposal by the end of his story arc in the series. Here is a handful of notable characters Lelouch has Geassed in the story
Schneizel El Britannia
Schneizel is Lelouch's Brother, and is by far his most challenging opponent ever..... Until Lelouch outsmarted him using some very clever and underhanded tactics and Geass control XD!!!
Schneizel possesses a supreme level of military tactics that rival the likes of Lelouch and even his sister Cornelia..... who is also Lelouch's Sister XD!!!!!
Because of those traits, Schneizel is one of Lelouch's greatest assets for his own army.
Nunnally Vi Britannia
Nunnally is............. oh man this is hilariously adorable
Ok, Nunnally is hands down, the single most innocent character in Code Geass and, well, one of the kindest characters in all of fiction........ The Fact that she is a blind girl bound to a wheel chair after a tragic event in the past involving her mother's assassination, Nunnally is very weak physically......... But, Spoilers abound, this happened.......
SPOILERS!!!!!! Watch out XD!!!!
 |
| What is this.......... Her eyes are open? |
So, Nunnally is no longer blind, since she possessed the willpower to overcome Charles Britannia's Geass power of preventing her Eyes from Opening...... But, you see what Nunnally is holding? Yeah, that is a F.L.E.I.J.A Device "Field Limitary Effective Implosion Armament"
So, what is a F.L.E.I.J.A then you may ask? Well, let me show you one screenshot.
 |
| Woah.... Talk about a blast!!! |
Yeah..... that is what it is...... The F.L.E.I.J.A Device can shoot out Missiles that not only cause Country level explosions, but has a very dangerous and outright overpowered effect in that it erases all matter in existence once detonated..... Yes, this device, despite being in a world that is not littered with Superheroes and Kaiju, has the power to destroy every single atom and matter in existence........ And Nunnally is literally holding a button that can shoot out hundreds, if not thousands of these missiles..... It is that powerful.......
So yeah, Nunnally may be innocent, but she can use the power to literally end wars with just a button....... Be glad she is not your enemy
Suzaku Kururugi
Suzaku is one of Lelouch's Most trusted friends..... and later, his most determined rival. Suzaku actually becomes one of Lelouch's Allies in the Final Battle of Mt Fuji that resulted in Lelouch winning the war entirely, which makes Suzaku one of Lelouch's best assets in his army.
What is very interesting here though is that Suzaku never joined the Black Knights. He is one of the Knights of the Round, and has fought Kallen, Todoh, and other Black Knight Elites in order to try and take Zero down..... with mixed results, though Suzaku managed to capture Lelouch at one time, making him one of the more impressive characters in terms of overall feats.
But obviously, Suzaku is highly skilled with Knightmare Frame Combat. And he has his own Knightmare known as the Lancelot.
 |
| The Lancelot |
The Lancelot is one of the greatest Knightmares in all of Code Geass. And it has gone through many redesigns to make it more powerful than ever.
It is armed with Two Maser Swords for close quarters combat, Slash Harkens, Super V.A.R.I.S Particle Rifles, Energy Wings to use as Projectiles and even..... a F.L.E.I.J.A Missile of it's own........ Well, Goodbye to whoever is going to face Lelouch and his mates XD!!!!!
 |
| The Next Roronoa Zoro XD!!!! |
Overall, Suzaku is definitely a powerhouse and truly an amazing character to behold. He is such a badass :D!!!
HOWEVER!!!! Despite all of those amazing characters, none of them are as powerful and destructive as the final notable asset to Lelouch's Army.......................
3.
2.
1.
 | |
| It's Shirley Fenette!!!!!!!! | ! |
Yes...... Shirley Fenette......... The most powerful character in Code Geass who literally ends anything with the blink of an eye, and has the stats to compete with all fictional characters coming at her at once and prevail.... Most of the time, until you use Strike Witches Shirley XD!!!!
But yes, Shirley is indeed Universal Level in terms of everything at the lowball level of lowballs..... XD!!!!!
Ok, let's go back to Lelouch and his own capabilities
Lelouch's battlefield Capabilities
Lelouch may not have impressive physical stats, though he has the intellect and craftiness that makes him extremely difficult to defeat in an all out battle. Eventually, Lelouch's Plans always have a backup when things do not go to the right direction, so Lelouch really is a character that surpasses Joseph Joestar in terms of overall street smarts and battlefield tactics.
Generally, Lelouch uses Guerilla warfare such as strategic capture and removal of certain agents in order to gain intel on the enemy and because of this, Lelouch understands that winning wars is not just about brute force and firepower. He uses Underhanded Tactics such as Infiltration and Tricks in order to outsmart his opponents.
He is also known to use the Decoy tactic, when one character can disguise themselves as his alias "Zero", confusing the enemy into thinking it is the real Zero..... well, their choice percentage was at Zero percent XD!!!! Because of this, the Decoy tactic gives Lelouch a very advantageous situation such as sneaking up on the enemy and Geass them to end the fight immediately. That is very impressive!!!
However, Lelouch has his own Knightmare known as the Shinkiro his most famous and well known Knightmare Frame, who he also shares with C.C.
He did use the Gawain previously but since the Shinkiro is Lelouch's Last and most powerful Knightmare, I will use the Shinkiro as his primary Knightmare for this match up
 |
| The Shinkiro |
The Shinkiro possess a well balanced level of power. It has Radiant Shielding, Hadron Cannons and can use a Chest beam that literally imitates Iron Man's Chest Beam :D!!! What a Badass. However, what is even more coincidental, it uses it's Wrist Mounted Cannons to fire Beam attacks.... Well, not exactly Palm Repulsor Blasts but close enough XD!!!!!
 |
| I AM......... ZERO MAN!!!!!! |
Overall, The Shinkiro gives Lelouch and C.C a skyrocketed level of power, not really weak after all Lelouch, you make me proud :D!!!!
But of course, C.C does indeed have her own Knightmare. The Lancelot Frontier
The Lancelot Frontier is armed with a Maser Sword, Slash Harkens and a Missile Launching Shield that is used for Defense as well as firing projectiles.... That's pretty versatile :D!!!!
Accomplishments for Lelouch and his Allies
Lelouch and the Black Knights and other Geassed Characters have changed the world forever. I promise not to spoil the rest of the story, but I will list a number of noteworthy feats achieved by Lelouch and his allies in the battle and, other places ;)
- Lelouch has officially, and cleanly, defeated all of his enemies using tactics and game playing mind tricks to achieve his goals
- C.C has managed to help Lelouch in dire situations, even gone as far as to become one of Lelouch's best use of decoy's by having her dress up as "Zero" herself........ XD!!!!! Very Tricky
- Kallen has managed to posses a very strong Win/Loss Record in the series. And her Guren Mark 2 is the best mech in all of fiction :D!!!
- Suzaku has consistently become Lelouch's Ultimate Rival, and has the distinction of being the only Knightmare Pilot who literally captured Lelouch and brought him to his own Father to be punished.... That did not last long but still, what a feat :D!!!
- Todoh managed to at least go toe to toe with Xingke for a while, who is one of the most skilled pilots in the series with a super powerful Knightmare that literally outstats most Knightmare Frames
- Rolo has saved Lelouch from Capture. Even Stopped time for Lelouch and himself to make decisions
- Jeremiah has always stayed loyal to the mission at hand, even sacrificing his own Knightmares in order to win the war regardless.... And still survive despite all this :D!!!
- Lelouch has Geassed entire armies at his will, ranging from Knightmare Pilots, Soldier's, Tanks and Aircraft fighters.
- The Black Knights have won multiple strategic victories that have significant impact on the war and the world itself.
- Lelouch eventually stopped Schneizel and Nunnally from destroy countries using Infiltration and Trickery
- Lelouch became the Emperor of the World...... And eventually, well, no spoilers, but he brought Peace And Justice :D!!!!!!!
- Lelouch is hands down, The Best Guy in fiction bar none.
- Lelouch used his Geass on God............. Yes, he has used Geass on a Omnipotent being........ Legendary is an understatment XD!!!
- Code Geass is a masterpiece of storytelling and characters. Very rich in scope and themes. I want to Watch it again :D!!!!
Weaknesses
Despite Lelouch's Craftiness and his Army Roster, unfortunately, he is not invincible and not unstoppable at all.
Because Lelouch is, well, Human, outside of his Shinkiro, he is vulnerable to all matter of lethal attacks and if Lelouch dies, all the people he has Geassed will be free of his will.
What is worse, Lelouch is not alone in this regard. Everyone in the Black Knights and his Allies are all susceptible to Death
However, A consistent trait that all Knightmare Frames have that is a huge weak spot is their power supply. Should it be damaged, the Knightmare will be shut down, rendering it's capabilities useless and the pilot defenseless. While this in turn lets the pilots use Ejection Systems to escape further harm, the sad part is that they are more vulnerable to attacks than before, and the Ejection System does not guarantee a safe landing. Some cases, the pilot's would die from landing into the ground, or at best, knocked unconscious, which puts them in a completely defenseless state that will spell doom to their lifespan if the enemy finishes them off.
Even Rolo, one of the more powerful characters, has to use his time stop sparingly in order to stay alive.... Unfortunately, by the time Rolo used too much of his Geass Power, it will ultimately result in his death because his heart cannot take too much strain. So Rolo has to use his Geass strategically and not recklessly in order to be more efficient
However, Lelouch's Army of Knightmares are still gonna get destroyed by sufficient Force. All of which have been in close calls or outright destroyed entirely. While some Knightmare Frames are more Powerful than others, they can still suffer the same Weak point factor that makes them just as vulnerable to damage as a result. If an opponent is Powerful enough, they could one shot the Knightmare Frames entirely and limit Lelouch's Army substantially, if his Elite Squad is taken out
Still, despite all the faults, Lelouch and his Allies are indeed a powerful and beloved bunch of Heroes :D!!!!! All Hail Lelouch!!!!!
Kane
Kane's story is a very, very straightforward tale of terrorism, destruction, ambition, tyranny and war.
The Year is 1995, a time when Earth experienced the most dramatic turn of events since the extinction event of the dinosaurs. An Asteroid containing an unknown material crash landed on Earth at the Tiber River in Italy. This was the event that created a Planet wide hazardous substance known as "Tiberium".
 |
| A Tiberium Field |
Tiberium is a crystalized alien substance that possesses limitless power. However, it's dangerous materials, and the fact it literally destroys ecosystems from the environment, made it a very critical substance to control. Two Factions rose to the occasion for very different beliefs. One side wanted to contain Tiberium and eventually, rid Tiberium from the world to make it a better place once more, that faction became the Global Defense Initiative, better known as "GDI".
However, One man, known only as Kane, sees Tiberium as an opportunity for mankind to reap it's benefits to become a global superpower, thus, Kane formed the Brotherhood of Nod, a cult of organized terrorists, soldiers and elite warriors who believe that Kane's Philosophy will indeed bring a bright and prosperous future for those under his command.
Thus, because of their conflicting ideologies, GDI and Nod have waged an epic battle on a global scale. The GDI however managed to overpower Nod in the first two Tiberium Wars, but the Third War ended in a stalemate (Canonically) because everything leading up to that point was all according to Kane's Plan, thanks to a special asset known as the "Tacitus".
Really, Kane's story really ends there..... Command and Conquer 4 Tiberi- !!!!!!
Oh no, we are not gonna get into that travesty of a game. XD!!!!! That is not Command and Conquer, that is a cross between George Hancock and Coleman Trebor's Sanity levels rolled into one XD!!!
Ultimately, Kane has consistently become a serious threat to the world, and his plans of domination and philosophical beliefs about Tiberium's Power make him a charismatic and dangerous foe.
That is a spoiler free background of Kane's Time in Command and Conquer 1-3 (Tiberian Twilight excluded because there is no point into it's relevance. It does not exist XD!!!)
Let's see what the Stone Cold Steve Austin of Command and Conquer has at his disposal
The Brotherhood of Nod
 | |
| A Standard Nod Base |
Kane's Army is obviously the Brotherhood of Nod.
The Brotherhood of Nod are a very versatile and powerful faction that emphasizes Strategic Control of Key Structures and Territories with a greater emphasis on Stealth and Guerilla Warfare. However, despite those notable traits, the Brotherhood is still a very powerful front line force with High Tech Firepower and really awesome battle tanks and Mechs. Here is the rundown of The Brotherhood's Arsenal
Militant Squads
The Basic Infantry unit for the Brotherhood. Despite being average in terms of training, they are actually more numerous than the GDI's Rifleman Squad. However, what makes the Militant Squad far more effective is their use of Tiberium Infusion, which allows them to traverse across Tiberium Fields without suffering it's effects such as Cancerous skin damage and death. These Infantry can Garrison Buildings, increasing their durability substantially and because of their rate of fire, can mow down many Infantry units quickly using their Assault Rifles.
Rocket Squad
Rocket Squads are RPG Type Soldiers who have quite a punch against Vehicles and Structures. Like All Infantry types, they can garrison buildings to increase their durability against most attacks. They can attack Aircraft and even shoot down Large Tanks and Buildings very quickly with numbers at their side.
Saboteur
With an outfit that reminds me of an Astronaut, the Saboteur may look goofy, but oh boy is he very cool.
Saboteur's can capture buildings instantly once they are inside, and they are able to hijack enemy mechs to use their own weapons against them. Saboteur's can also use a Stealth Generator, though it is only used when they are standing still. However, their combat effectiveness is lacking and they are the weakest infantry type in the series. But, one more thing to counter that flaw, is that Saboteurs can instantly repair buildings........ Yeah, these guys are no joke. They can end a battle in mere minutes if used strategically
Black Hand
The Black Hand, also known as The Flamethrower Squad, are The Brotherhood's most elite infantry squad. While they lack the range capabilities of Snipers and Commandos, by no means does it hold back their insane level of durability and their firepower. In the first Tiberium War, they were originally very easy to take down and when exploded, can cause collateral splash damage. Those days have ended and by the time the Second and Third Tiberium war came, the Flamethrower Squads managed to nullify the volatile gas and whenever they die, they no longer explode.
What makes the Flamethrower Squads sooooooo dangerous though, is their ability to weed out garrisoned buildings by burning infantry from the inside. This makes them extremely dangerous against Garrisoned Structures and buildings in general. However, their flames do not kill pilots of Mechs instantly, though the damage output is still impressive regardless.
Chemical Warrior
The Chem Warrior acts virtually the same as the Flamethrower Squad. However, instead of fire, it shoots out a acidic substance, made partly with Tiberium, that melts down Infantry to the molecular level. Very efficient and very dangerous
Cyborg
The Cyborg was used in the Second Tiberium War, and it's one of the most interesting assets to the Brotherhood's Arsenal. While very powerful, they are actually unique in that when they lose a limb, they keep on fighting until the damage ultimately overpowers their systems entirely. Still, quite impressive regardless. They are armed with mini gattling guns mounted on their arms
Reapers
The Reaper Cyborgs are Missile Launching Cyborgs that have the capabilities of attacking both ground and air targets. Despite their power, the missiles are very inaccurate and sometimes hit friendly targets if it is not careful. Still, when the target is marked and hit, it can be quite a blast to endure. What is really cool though, is when a Reaper is fallen, they release Tiberium Deposits that allow it to self repair overtime. But, they do not have the same level of Limb Separation Functionality as the standard Cyborgs, which is interesting to say the least.
Confessor Cabal Squad
The Confessor is The Brotherhood's replacement of the Militant Squad, at least for the Black Hand Faction.
Unlike the Militant Squad, they have more gadgets such as hallucinogenic grenades, which makes battalions of soldiers attack each other for a short time. Their Assault Rifles also pack greater power than the Militant Squad's own Rifles, making Confessors quite dangerous. Oh, and one Confessor can be allocated to a Militant Squad and Rocket Squad, increasing effectiveness in combat plus more grenades :D!!!!! Pretty cool
Awakened
The Awakened are part of a Sub faction known as "Marked of Kane", and they are the standard infantry for that specific faction. A more advanced Cyborg than the predecessor from the Second Tiberium War, The Awakened have very interesting stats.
They are more resistant to firearms compared to other infantry, but are more susceptible to anti tank firepower. They are armed with hand cannons but their weaponry is not as effective as most infantry types in terms of damage output and speed. What they do have that is saving their value is an EMP blast that can disable vehicles and structures in a small radius.
However, the worst part about The Awakened is that they can suffer Tiberium Exposure, which is hilarious considering they are partly mechanical in nature............
Fanatics
Fanatics are suicide Bombers that have immeasurable loyalty to Kane. They are so dedicated to his philosophies, they are willing to die for him to achieve his goals. Unfortunately, they lack versatility and their value as an overall unit is not particularly spectacular, as they are very easy to take out with Snipers and numerous infantry.
However, once they get up close and personal with vehicles and structures, the Fanatics can be very dangerous. And, they run pretty fast, on par with Olympic Level Athletes.... Scary indeed.
Shadow Team
One of the coolest units of the Brotherhood and a very powerful one at that, The Shadow Team are sneaky Ninja like elite warriors with the most versatile arsenal at their disposal. They are armed with dual machine pistols, a detonation device that can destroy buildings, even a bombardment beacon. But of course, they have one really handy trick that makes them very good for recon.....
 |
| It's a Flock of Birds!!!! |
Yes, The Shadows can glide across the battlefield with, well, gliders, and this gives them a huge leg up over other infantry types because that are the able to traverse across canyons and mountains without going through narrow paths.
Oh, and Shadows are permanently cloaked, unless they are detected by Radar or if they shoot first and ask questions later. Very badass :D.
Enlightened
The Enlightened are elite Cyborgs for the Marked of Kane. one of Nod's most powerful assets, they are actually costly and not quite as impressive against anti infantry weaponry, and lack anti aircraft capabilities.
But, those are really the only faults they suffer from. Everything else is badass!!!! You see, the Enlightened are armed with particle beam Cannons and an EMP blast, perfect against Vehicles. And they can be upgraded to increases their firepower, making them more effective against Infantry. So at their best, The Enlightened are absolutely cool :D!!!!
The Commando
 |
| It's Kallen with an Eye patch!!! |
The Commando has been very different over the course of the Tiberian Series, but, I will be using the Command and Conquer 3 type since it has more power and versatility :D!!!
The Commando is that, a Commando that literally surpasses all infantry types in terms of overall power. She can shoot down hundreds of soldiers in a time span of only 3 seconds, which means she fires at Mach 2-4 speeds. And this is including the fact she has to aim perfectly for all targets. That's how badass she is!!!! She is literally a One Man army. Or in her case a "One Woman Army".
But that does not end there, she is armed with explosives that can destroy all Mechs and walkers in one hit, making her extremely dangerous against Mechs
Also, like the Shadow team, The Commando is permanently cloaked, she loses cloaking for a moment if she fires and is caught by Radar but other than that, she is extremely difficult to kill.... Unless a Sniper Rifle hits her and she is gone already XD!!
Unfortunately, The Commando is by no means unstoppable. Anti Infantry Weapons will kill her very quickly and she cannot target aircraft and flying combatants. However, she can destroy aircraft in a airfield so that is worth mentioning :D!!
What an absolute badass!!! I wish I had a Commando just like her :D!!!
Attack Bikes
The Bike has been redesigned over the course of the series, but their functionality is the same. They are perfect scouts and are armed with twin missiles that are dangerous to buildings, vehicles and aircraft. Though their durability is about as good as a trash can because..... they are a Bike........ Not exactly gonna click for front line combat now right? XD!!!
Still, in groups, Recon Bikes are actually very scary. Capable of decimating Tanks with some support, they do get alot of wonders to behold :D!!
Buggy
The Buggy is one of Nod's fastest vehicles. Very mobile and very dangerous, Buggies are armed with a mounted machine gun turret that can decimate infantry and even aircraft. However, they can upgrade their Turret to a Laser that increases damage to further heights. The Buggy can also use an EMP blast to, well you get the picture at this point XD!!!!
Overall, the Buggy is a versatile vehicle with tremendous speed and above average power :D!!!
Scorpion Tank
Nod has used multiple Light Tanks before, but none of them are as advanced and cool as the Scorpion Tank.
The Scorpion Tank is the main Tank support for Nod and while it made be classed as a "Light Tank", this bad boy packs serious firepower.
Armed with a powerful Tank styled cannon, the Scorpion is indeed your typical tank....... Until you upgrade it with a Laser Turret that increases damage significantly, making it even more dangerous to both Tanks and infantry and buildings and outfitting it with Dozer Blades, which mow down infantry like a lawn mower.......... Typical Tank alright XD!!!!
The Scorpion is a very powerful and well rounded tank. Though it cannot attack aircraft so that's it's only drawback to consider
Flame Tank
The Flame Tank is one of the more unique tank types around. Using Flamethrowers as it's main weapon, it can wash out garrisoned buildings and it is the Grim Reaper for Infantry squads. Because of these traits, the Flame Tank is perfect for anti Infantry firepower. It is also capable of burning enemy structures to a crisp
Artillery
 |
| The Artillery and the Tiberium.. A nice couple XD! |
Artillery is that, Artillery. Long Range, not alot of versatility, vulnerable to attacks but devastating against buildings and infantry at long range, they get the job done :D
Stealth Tank
My favorite Tank from the Brotherhood, The Stealth Tank is also one of the most versatile. It fires multiple Rockets with tremendous velocity and accuracy, can destroy infantry and tanks, and is capable of destroying aircraft in mere seconds. Their most iconic feature however is their permanent cloaking device, making them invisible until they fire or if they are detected by radar.
Otherwise, the Stealth Tank really is not easy to pick out flaws, They may not be as durable as heavier tanks and mechs but their firepower is more than enough to give them amazing value.
Beam Cannon
The Beam Cannon has one of the slowest attack rates out of all the Tanks but it's power more than makes up for it. It is armed with a Beam cannon that is especially dangerous to Tanks and Buildings. It also uses the Cannon for surprising tricks. You see, it can use a Venom Craft to attack combatants at a distance, and, from where the Venom Craft is placed, can shoot down the laser beam towards the intended target by using a light bending technique. Check it out :D!!!

And of course, the Beam Cannon can increase the range and damage output of the Obelisk of Light. Which drastically improves the capabilities to further heights. A valuable asset indeed :D.
Reckoner
The Reckoner is a mobile transport. But, when hunkered down, it is permanently a immobile bunker that is used by Infantry to attack from a safe zone. Oh, and this time, Infantry cannot be weeded out by Fire and Grenades while inside a Reckoner, very handy indeed :D
Avatar
Now we are talking about some serious firepower. The Avatar is one of Nod's most powerful assets and they are armed with a powerful beam cannon that decimates tanks and structures.
However, the Avatar has one of the coolest, and outright, "Cruelest" tricks around, it can destroy fellow vehicles and use their main weapons as it's own, just like how the Power Rangers form the Megazord or the Voltron Force forming, well, Voltron. Here is the list of Armaments the Avatar can pick up :D!!
- Can combine with the Attack bike for it's Stealth Detector.
- Can combine with a Flame Tank to use it's Flamethrower
- Can combine with a Beam Cannon for a Second Beam Cannon..... Repetition XD!!!
- Can combine with a Stealth Tank to use a Cloaking Device
All those combined result in this.
Because of this, a fully upgraded Avatar is a powerhouse with versatile options :D!!!!
Unfortunately, they do not have any form of anti aircraft capabilities but, it's durability is solid...... then you have Commandos who can simply one shot it with explosive devices..... yikes..... Least the Flamethrower is a countermeasure to the Commando though.
Still, the Avatar is a monstrous mech of epic proportions :D.
Purifier
The Purifier is actually the predecessor to the Avatar, though it has a leg up in that it already has the Flamethrower upgrade from the get go. It can crush light vehicles and infantry, just like the Avatar, and it is especially effective for base destruction.
Venom
Nod has used Aircraft over the years, but none are as technologically advanced as the Venom Craft and another asset which will come up shortly. The Venom Craft is a light helicopter that can decimate ground units quickly. However, it does not become effective against tanks.... until it is upgraded with lasers..... Ahhh, these laser upgrades are getting more dangerous XD!!!
Of course, the Venom Craft has the Signature Generator, which screws up enemy radar and makes it that there are thousands of Venom craft when there is only a dozen. Great for trickery and diversionary tactics.
And, as mentioned in the Beam Cannon Segment, it has the reflector beam that literally targets a specific enemy and the beam cannon shoots at the Venom craft's location, and then bends the laser to the intended target.
Versatile indeed :D
Vertigo
Vertigo Bombers are cloaked Bombers used for Base destruction and Tank Assassination. A very powerful and durable craft, they literally destroy anything in numbers with deadly efficiency. Because they are cloaked, they can be difficult to pinpoint their location and once fired, it is too late to retaliate
They are armed with a minigun turret to ward off aircraft, though it doesn't exactly do much other than just damage them slightly. Not the best against aircraft XD!!!!
Still, the Vertigo Bomber is fast, sleek and devastating :D!!!!
The Redeemer
Without a doubt, the single greatest Mech and Combatant in all of Command and Conquer, the Redeemer is the best at what it does... COMMAND AND CONQUER!!!!!
Armed with Two Obelisk Beams and two Infantry hard points to make it a bunker, the Redeemer has insane levels of firepower that rivals the likes of Kaiju!!!! Seriously, this badass really needs to be in it's own video game XD!!!!!
Despite lacking anti aircraft capabilities, the fact it can have garrisoned rocket squads already counters that drawback, especially considering the Redeemer can be accompanied with buggies and Attack Bikes, it literally becomes unstoppable. "The Marv and the Eradicator are-" No No!!!! They cannot match the Redeemer's overall Durability and firepower. This is ridiculously powerful for Command and Conquer standards XD!!!
Overall, The Redeemer is Nod's most powerful unit and one of my favorite Mechs in fiction :D!!!!
The Structures of Nod
While Nod is powerful, they need their bases in order to stay around right? XD!!! Here is a quick rundown of the Nod Structures.
Hand of Nod: Produces Infantry
War factory: Produces the vehicles, Mechs and Tanks for Nod
Refinery: Comes with a Harvester, who Collects Tiberium and process it for income. The Harvester is permanently cloaked unless it is detected by Radar, and it can run over infantry for self defense.
 |
| Harvester |
Secret Shrine: Provides Infantry Upgrades and increases Tech Level for the Hand of Nod
Operations Center: Provides more Infantry upgrades and increases tech level for the Hand of Nod
Tiberium Chemical Plant: Provides Nod with Beneficial Upgrades and Abilities
Airstrip: A previously used structure used to deliver Nod's vehicles with an airplane XD!!!!
Air Tower: Produces Aircraft and can only hold 4 Vertigo bombers at a time.
Tiberium Silos: Built to increase Tiberium Capacity
Mobile Construction Vehicle: Is the headquarters for all Nod Bases. Constructs Buildings and defenses when deployed
 |
| Mobile Mode |
 |
| Deployed |
Crane: Provides an extra build tab for Nod. Meaning it can allow Nod to create multiple buildings at once.
Turrets: Used to destroy ground units, particularly vehicles
Shredder Turrets: designed to decimate infantry. Three Turrets are built at a time that are connected to a hub, though Nod can upgrade it with a fourth Turret
Laser Turrets: Designed to destroy Vehicles. Can also be upgraded with a fourth turret
SAM Sites: Used in the First Tiberium War, SAM Sites are strong anti air turrets that prevent airstrikes on the battlefield
SAM Turrets: Just like the SAM Sites, minus the prevention of airstrike capability. But this time they can have Four turrets when fully upgraded. Perfect against Bombers and other Aircraft
Obelisk of Light: Nod's most powerful defensive structure. Capable of firing a hotter than the sun beam cannon that decimates Ground Forces. Can be amplified by a Beam Cannon for increased range and damage
Redeemer Engineering Facility: Produces the Redeemer
Temple of Nod: The Main Super Weapon Facility for Nod. It Fires a Nuclear Warhead that can destroy entire bases. Only one can be built at a time. It can also can restore power when an EMP blast hits certain Power Plants and Structures
Power Plant: Provides Power for Nod. when destroyed, they will lose power and if Nod loses too much power, their buildings will run at a slower rate and their defensive structures shut down until power is restored.
Disruption Tower: Provides Cloaking for all Nod Units and structures in the area. If severely damaged or destroyed, the Cloaking Device is nullified and all Units and Structures will be seen once more.
Special Structures
Thought these types of Structures are not part of Nod's main arsenal, they are relevant to the match up in a sense they do play a role in the outcome. Here are Two noteworthy Structures to consider for Nod
Ion Disruption Field Generators: These Generators prevent the GDI's Ion Cannon from harming anything within it's vicinity. Though the Generators can still be destroyed by everything else, which nullifies the Disruption Power completely.
Temple Prime: An Impenetrable Fortress Located In Sarajevo, Temple Prime is Nod's most Sacred and Main base of operations worldwide. As it suggests, it's impenetrable armor makes it impossible to destroy by most weapons, until you bring in the heavy ordinance such as the Ion Cannon. Also, anyone can literally infiltrate Temple Prime if they use disguises so really, it is actually not a very easy task, but it is possible to completely sabotage Temple Prime from the inside.
Nod's Support Powers
Of course, Nod has an array of abilities to call upon. Here is a quick rundown of all of Nod's Support Powers
Cloaking Field: Can Cloak Vehicles and Structures . Very dangerous to Infantry, which actually kills squads of soldiers instantly.
Radar jamming Missile: Temporarily Disables enemy radar for a moment.
Decoy Army: Can create a decoy army that creates illusions of the real deal and it is useful for front line defense, or diversionary tactics.
Magnetic Mine Drop: A very useful anti tank support power that litters mines on the battlefield.Exclusive to The Marked of Kane Though they can still be destroyed if detected by radar. The Mines are unique in that they attached themselves to vehicles once triggered, and explode overtime. The Mines do not affect Infantry.
Mine Drop: The Mine Drop is exactly that, A Mine Drop. Same as above. This time, it affects infantry and it does not attach itself to vehicles. Bing badda boom :D!!! Always cloaked unless Radar and Stealth Detection comes by.
Seed Tiberium Missile: Used to regrow Tiberium Fields. Perfect to increasing economy
Shadow Strike Team: Deploys a Squad of Shadow Teams.
Tiberium Vapor Bomb: Unleashes a very powerful Weapon of Mass Destruction. It is extremely powerful when deployed on Tiberium Fields, which result in a chain reaction of devastating results.
However, without the Tiberium, the bomb still packs a punch. Able to decimate Infantry and destroy Light Tanks, it still has great value,
The Followers of Kane
 |
| Seth. The George Hancock of Command and Conquer |
Kane has a circle of followers that mainly provide intel for the Commander to make use of. Not very impressive in terms of combat potential, they simply provide information and mission briefings. That's it XD!!!!
Here Are Kane's Notable followers
 |
| Ajay |
 |
| Alexa Kovacs |
 |
| Killian Qatar |
 |
| Marcion |
 |
| Anton Slavik |
There you go, all the talking guys who literally sit at the back XD!!!!! Good characters at least :D!!!
The Liquid Tiberium Bomb
 |
| The Bomb being transported by a Truck |
The most dangerous weapon of them all, The Liquid Tiberium Bomb is a device that has the power that is "50 times greater than a 200 megaton thermal Nuke" Which means, the Bomb is capable of producing 10 000 megatons of TNT. However, this is only Raw power. With the presence of Tiberium Deposits, the Bomb can create a chain reaction that would ampliy it's raw power to ridiculous levels.
This means, a single Tiberium Field can potentially increase the Bomb's Megaton Range to almost 15 0000 megatons at a standard level. Here is a screenshot of the effects shown on the News
 |
| This report stated that over 25 million people, GDI and Nod, died from the blast radius. Still Counting |
So yes, The Bomb literally ends wars ........ but there is a catch. You see, Kane in the canonical Story has never used the Liquid Tiberium Bomb at all. Infact, that screenshot you saw is actually the alternate ending of the GDI campaign. Infact, the GDI first used the Bomb against the Alien Invaders known as the Scrin in a last ditch attempt to prevent them from destroying Earth.....
Thankfully all that is non canon, as GDI actually cleanly defeated the Scrin using only the ion cannon and Superior Tactics :D!!!
Also, the Bomb takes a very long time to assemble together, and it is very likely that it will never be part of Nod's Main Arsenal to begin with. The process takes a day to complete, even more so since GDI have harassed Nod to the point that distractions hinder progress XD!!!!
Overall though, if fired, the Bomb is a game ending device....... Terrifying and absolutely powerful
Tactics for Nod
The Brotherhood has a well balanced level of versatility, with an emphasis on Guerilla Warfare and Stealth. Because of this, they are very efficient in ambush and infiltration techniques. Their use of high tech weaponry is further utilized with Lasers and EMP devices that make them very powerful as a fighting force.
However, Nod's greatest trait is their saboteur skills. By capturing buildings and mechs, they can use their enemies weapons and technology against them. For instance, Nod can capture a GDI base and use Mammoth Tanks, GDI Defense Towers and even a GDI commando under their command. Yes, Saboteurs are equipped with Mind Control Powers........ Impressive :D!!!
Overall, Nod has a very diverse level of skill and tactics, making them more than unpredictable in any field of combat.
Feats for The Brotherhood of Nod and Kane
A global Super power and a faction of immense power, The Brotherhood of Nod and Kane are very impressive in terms of overall feats. Here is a list of accomplishments by the Terrorist Group led by Stone Cold Steve Austin's Brother.
- Routinely defeated GDI forces across the Globe. Even took multiple Blue Zones from them in the process
- Have managed to destroy major key structures that ultimately led to the demise of their enemies quickly
- Can completely surprise GDI forces using underhanded tactics and surprise explosions.
- Has destroyed one of Four chosen structures in the end of the Tiberian Dawn Campaign. The White House, Big Ben, The Eiffel Tower or the Brandenburg Gate
- Acquired the Tacitus, which predicts future events, but does not predict battlefield moments, only key events such as Story plot points.
- Awoke the Marked of Kane from Slumber
- Non Canon Wise, Nod has won the First Two Tiberium Wars, Canon Wise though, the Third Tiberium War was actually a win for both GDI and Nod because of different goals being achieved from their perspective in the branched story arc for Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath
- Has repelled the Scrin Invasion, an Alien Force that possessed superior firepower and technology
- Command and Conquer is a Series of amazing Games:D!!!!!............ Kane's Wrath is the final entry of the series :D!!!!!!!!!
- The characters are very well done, especially Kane, who is played by Joseph Kucan, one of my favorite video Game villains of all time :D!!!
Advantages
- Despite having less numbers to rely upon, Lelouch has far greater power and overall better tech than even The brotherhood of Nod's high end tech level such as the Avatar and Redeemer.
- No matter what Lelouch uses at his disposal, all of the Knightmares are way too fast and too mobile for any of Kane's Assets
- All of Lelouch's Black Knights have done far more impressive feats. Kallen and Suzaku alone can simply wipe out Most of Nod's Bases with only standard arsenal involved. Jeremiah's Tenacity will indeed help The Black Knights use of trickery and diversionary tactics.
- Geass Power is something that Nod and even Kane has Zero counters for. They have experienced mind control before, but not on the same level as Lelouch's Geass
- If Lelouch can find Kane personally, and Geass him, Lelouch instantly wins the battle straight up.
- F.L.E.I.J.A. Missiles are far more reliable to use than the Liquid Tiberium Bomb and Temple of Nod. They also destroy all Matter upon impact, meaning, it can even destroy the substance inside the Liquid Tiberium Bomb, reducing the effects significantly
- Despite being intelligent, Lelouch is actually smarter than Kane by a wide margin.
- Stealth and Cloaking is something that can be a hindrance to Lelouch and the Black Knights and Allies.
- Not as experienced as Kane and the Brotherhood
- Not as many Units and Assets to rely upon
Kane
Advantages
- More Experienced
- Stealth and Cloaking does give The Brotherhood a leg up in terms of ambush
- More numerous arsenal to rely upon
- Is technologically inferior to the Knightmare Frames that Lelouch has at his disposal
- Despite Kane's impressive arsenal, the Brotherhood simply cannot compete against the Black Knights and Allies with regards to speed and especially mobility.
- Despite having a good amount of feats, Lelouch's side has done far more impressive feats on a grander scale.
- Geass Power is something that Kane does not counter all all. If Lelouch catches Kane within range, the battle is over.
- Because of the unreliability of the Liquid Tiberium Bomb, and the Temple of Nod's Nuke being limited to One Warhead only, Kane's Super Weapons are vastly outclassed by the F.L.E.I.J.A Missiles, which Nunnally, if she has the device, can simply fire over hundreds if not thousands of warheads that destroy all matter from existence. Even taking Nunnally out is still a edge for the Black Knights and Allies because Suzaku is armed with a F.L.E.I.J.A Missile with the Lancelot
- While Kane is very intelligent, Lelouch is simply more crafty and intuitive and tactical.
Yeah, not exactly a fight now is it?
