[@ItsDaKoolaidDude]

Its what im thinking too. They have LOT in technicalities and technologies. Psions would be a nightmare due to their abilities, Interceptors are almost toe-to-toe Brute Choppers due to firepower and ability to charge and just smash and destroy things. Threshers can do strafes and air support and their damn projectiles can track, their Goliath tanks are nasty af and takes three of their thrusters just to take em down (or another tank with two shots). Imperial Land Tanks aka Rogal Dorn's favorite method of moving entire command fortresses, the Psion's OXA machine which is a clairvoyance machine. Overall they're just able to come up with tech that adapts to their situations or whatever just happened to get in their way. What they lack in variety, they make up for it in technical specifications and general usage.

[@slate8409]

Way closer than most people think. The Almighty is not a fleet asset, it required protection everywhere it went and its main deterrent was that blowing it up once linked to a star would kill the star anyways. It’s a nonfactor in such a conflict since it’s only brought in after local forces have been pacified. Honestly? I’d give this to the Banished. The Red Legion are NOT the Cabal. They’re a single detachment within the larger military. They’re good to be certain but a lot of this comes down to a couple of things that swing it in the Banished’s favor IMO. Navy and combined arms. Cabal ship scale weapons are generally small kinetic weapon batteries along the flanks of their ships from what we’ve seen, along with generous missile silos. I’m sure they have more but we’ve seen nothing comparable to UNSC MAC cannons or larger energy weapons which were generally what were needed to punch through Covenant and Banished shielding, and the Covenant even before the Banished were insanely effective in naval combat. Banished were even better, not held back by the tactical failings of the more dogmatic Covenant before them. Without the Almighty we just haven’t seen the sort of destructive power from the Cabal to suggest they’re capable of glassing entire worlds with conventional forces in the same way the Covenant fleets could, and while the Banished use some unique designs of their own make they also use almost all of the older Covenant naval assets as well. On the ground? We’ve only seen the one heavy tank variant from the Cabal and a couple of scout skimmers, easily matched if not surpassed by a civilian vehicle that the Last City modified and repurposed into a heavy battle tank. Red Legion don’t have much in regards to air superiority, relying almost entirely on their Threshers. Anyone familiar with Halo and more specifically Halo Wars can tell you how outmatched the Cabal are here. Neither the Covenant or the Banished after them skimp on their air or armor presence, and while the Cabal beat them in rapid deployment that doesn’t matter much when they have ground units capable of operating as dedicated siege and anti-ship platforms alongside a fair diverse air force able to enforce complete air superiority and a robust armor corps including the likes of Scarabs. The Cabal have no answer for these sorts of assets without involving their already equally - if not outmatched - navy, and Banished artillery and fortifications are just as good if not better with how much more willing they are to employ energy shielding in their usage.

[@yourewrong9028]

I mean, if you really want to talk about ground units that would require naval intervention to counter - Imperial Land Tank much? Absolutely no chance that even something like a scarab is destroying that. Also, the fact that the almighty wasn’t primarily a fleet asset and required an escort everywhere it went IS true, but think about the implications of that for a moment. The escort fleet would have to be able to protect it for extended periods deep inside the coronas of its target stars, which indicates a far greater durability than pretty much any non-forerunner ships from halo.

[@jokerswild2380]

​@yourewrong9028 you also discount the fact that the Cabal forces on Phobos rigged the moon to drop from orbit on a whim and destroy Mars if they lost the seige.

[@yourewrong9028]

@@jokerswild2380 well that was actually seemingly done telekinetically by the Psion flayers. What exactly their plan was and how they were gonna execute it was unclear, but the point is that it seems like they can psychically move moons, which like… yeah, definitely doesn’t add to the Banished’s chances lmao

[@karatsukiawildfemboy2326]

Tell me you play the game and not understand the lore without telling me.... Land tanks are literally moving fortresses And the cabal have so much more in their arsenal than what we as players fight against Destiny is a 1st person shooter not a space ship battle simulator so you can only implement things on a scale a single guardian or a fireteam of 6 can take on in destinys gameplay system

[@That_lore_guy]

​@karatsukiawildfemboy2326 a scarab especially the banished one is a walking fortress heavily armored a volatile plasma beam that is actively dripping and salvos of missiles if a guardian with an explosives can take out thier vehicles then a scarab with missiles and plasma can do the same job and despite what's depicted in game it wouldn't take long for plasma to do anything since it has been depicted that just a plasma bolt can melt through a Spartans armor which is made out of titanium and cause more than lethal damage the cabul are getting dropped by normal kinetic ammo

[@Totikfr]

if it was the human forerunners, the fight would be over fast

[@selpix]

The Red legion would definitely have the upper hand simply just from the fact psion's exist, ships like the almighty and the entire idea of paracasual abilities. Though from raw strength of the actual races and living beings shangheli and brutes are far superior in strength to cabal and the psions. While cabal have world eaters and star destroyers, we haven't seen any other unit type besides the goliath tanks and threshers etc. So I would also have to give that to the banished (phantoms, wraiths, ghosts, locusts, scarabs, you name it) Basically, head to head combat banished win, space magic involved cabal win imo

[@smoothtrooper781]

Dont forget plasma weapons, lore is a lot different than gameplay

[@SOMEONE-hv3xc]

[@madlad1511]

i doubt an elite is stronger than a cabal imma be real, a brute yeah

[@TheDamnCook]

Im pretty sure the cabal would win again the banished in almost every scenario. They have far greater firepower, technology and superweapons. In an all out space and ground battle they cabal would win. In a 1v1 between ghoul and atriach (do u spell him this way?) it would be interesting because atriach is taller land a bit stronger than ghaul but ghaul has experience as a gladiator and therefor with various weapons and combat styles.

[@thephantomx6467]

His name is spelled Atriox for the question you asked. Atriox has experience in battles too as he and his pack brothers would be sent into the front lines to be killed off and he would always return. He has years of battling experience which is what gave him the knowledge and ability to basically make himself and his new faction at the time a formidable threat to the Covenant. Atriox also hires humans and any other species willing to join his cause. If he manages to convince the Psions to join him and rebel against the cabal, that could lean in his favor. Also even if Atriox was out, he has many leaders in charge of his forces on different divisions and such like the lekgolo Hunter pair called Colony which is in charge of all the Hunters and the variants it makes.

[@thephantomx6467]

Sorry for the rambling but TLDR, I see it as a close battle with the cabal most likely winning but the Banish possibly having a chance.

[@thephantomx6467]

I really feel like that moving mountains portion of the lore is severely overblown in its significance. And I'm pretty sure that the mountains didn't move at all, the gal just thought that since she was punching the mountain, it was therefore moving ever so slightly. And though that is impressive you're focusing on the wrong thing imo.

They are NOT more advanced than the Banished. I get that you probably know more about Destiny lore, and not know about Halo lore as much, but it's not even a fair fight technologically. Covenant ship shielding (and subsequently the Banished) require multiple UNSC MAC rounds to do anything to the ship. And just to clarify any man-made ship would get annihilated by a single MAC round.

[@michaelhuie2661]

Yes I know both universes lores, not just what's ingame and am more familiar with Halos lore but thanks for assuming. Yes I am aware of how powerful MAC Rounds and ODPs are. The fact the Banished shields can withstand multiple direct hits is very impressive and not something to laugh at or overlook. However you cant overlook the Paracausal powers the Psions have and the tech levels of the Cabal to be able to combat beings that defy the laws of physics. Just like what Cortana did to Doisac the Cabal would do the same but also to their sun, wiping out their space in the Universe.

Honestly, just my opinion but if these two factions ever met, obviously at first they would fight each other, however I think Ghaul would fight Atriox in a 1v1, and after that would probably have the banished join not only the cabal empire but possibly the red legion itself. Also in general combat, don’t forget about the cabal battlenet, which literally gives their commanders real time information about everything on the battlefield in lore. The red legion could use the information to improve their armor and tactics to deal with the banishes tactic

[@NixMaster3k]

the average life expecancy of a cabal is 800-900 years, each soldier weighs as much as a small car, and they have a battlenet which feeds info learned from every bullet fired and damage inflicted in order to more efficiently kill the aliens they fight. it would take one battle to know everything about their enemy. and that's just the basic legions like the siege dancers and ice reapers. the higher ranking legions are tasked with asset retrieval and CELESTIAL DEMOLITON. those being the blind legion and skyburners respectfully. where does the red legion fit into all of this? they are the pinnacle of their empire. led by an emperor/dominus who has never seen defeat under his leadership, who has all the other legions weaponry at his disposal and more. including a flagship with a weapon to destabilize a star's core triggering a super nova. vs the banished, who subsist off the scraps the covenant leave behind and only became a threat when the power vacuum left from the collapse of the covenant. their gimmick is that they are an army of space pirates. not an empire (since their homeworld nuked itself) and not an army (since a lot of their arms are hired) not really a fair fight IMO though i feel as though the skyburners a more even match, only reason they lost was bc they were caught fighting an eon old god who clicked "team change" on half its legion. even with that setback they managed to fight their way to its dreadnought and came very close to destroying it. they seemed more of a worthy opponent however a fight between the red legion and covenant seem more on par with one another in terms of tactical strategy and naval warfare.

Named guardians/vanguard count as do lore interactions if the other entity is part of the fireteam. (EX- Lady E and Saladin or the one warlock with his ghost override ability.) I don't expect a win just want to see how much of a dent could be made, I'd be tempted to say no Time lost or dead guardians to avoid space-time shenanigans but I don't want it to be one sided. So I'll allow D1 exotic armors as well if it works with the guardians class/abilities just go nuts.

[@XxF0RSAKEN]

Normal warfare, no super weapons, halo rings, or light, the Banished would barely win, some Cabal may even join the banished. 1v1 no powers or abilities, Atriox wins. But if we count everything including Halo rings, light, and the Almighty, the Red Legion win. 1v1 with powers, Ghaul wins. Also, the Red legion don't control the Leviathan, it is controlled by Calus.

So when are we getting a full story video on the Cabal like the Elkisni?

[@thespaceengineer4710]

The Banished: The Kig-Yar (Jackals/Skirmishers) are simply there for the loot. All large covenant ships have some glassing capability, which can be used on other ships Banished dreadnaughts are ship sized gravity hammers Banished would repurpose any captured Cabal technology Brutes going "Ape-Shit" are a threat to everything around them The Engineers can easily upgrade anything they come across The Banished (to my knowledge) have the majority of the Halo galaxy Banished (Brute) engineering focuses primarily on violence. Stability is an after thought If the cabal have more to offer monetarily, the majority of the Kig-Yar would probably switch sides (even in the Covenant, Kig-Yar were primarily there for loot) The banished currently don't have super weapons (unless the super weapons are mentioned in the damn books) In any scenario humanity wins because plot.

[@Celtic_Spartan]

obviously the banished win. I mean they'll get there ass handed to them in every fight, fail every strategic objective and all their field commanders will be easily assassinated ...but atriox will just magically win, you know like any true ultramarine as Matt Warded intended.

[@emilsingapurcan8054]

Although i dont want to say yet who would win or lose since my knowledge of the banished is limited, you didnt factor q few things i feel: 1. The cabal engineered a device to counter and trap a paracausal machine. Even though it ultimately failed, it was still capable of channeling some of that energy, it seems. So clearly the red legion are no dummies. They have AMAZING engineers and scientists, and considering ghaul's strategical thinking, they would likely look for something to counter some of the strongest boons the banished have over them. 2. Psions are... psionic. They can induce visions, read minds... even though they don't quite stealth, they are excellent infiltrators and snipers. Their telepathy makes them excellent for strategy, and their ability to cast psionic force attacks is not to be underestimated. (A non-flying petson getting knocked into the air is an easy disorient) 3. Cabal seem to have a lot of good shield and teleportation tech. Aside from cabal teleporting away during retreats (and occassionally teleporting in, though they also often use drop-pods suggesting teleportation is an expensive choice reserved for indoor assaults, but that also suggests incredible teleport accuracy), and the presence of powerful shields on bases and soldiers (though it seems as if the average cabal ship lavks this feature... odd), the undamaged Almighty was shown to teleport away from a supernova. The cabal may initially be battered. In a surprise attack, and may struggle in situations where preserving the local area is neccessary. But once they understand the enemy, which will happen very quickly, thanks to both their stratrgists and psions, and have their guns set up, the banished will have to be on the defensive. And the red legion will be sure to push them on that. Only the fact that the banished ships use shields may give them a strong edge in space warfare, which may end up being a deciding factor

[@gono4806]

The problem is that the Banished has like 10% of the forces that the Cabal have at most so the cabal would eventually win. Also please make more versus vids like Cortana vs Rasputin lol and if you do please make a playlist for them.

I’m siding with the banished. Folks gotta remember that Atriox alone build his army from scraps. Like for example, dude was able to take covenant ships with ease and have the army side with him.

Their is a very big diffrence between a big ship and a deadly ship. A crane can move more rocks around than a tank but a tank can permanently stop the crane with relative easy.

[@reidon3749]

The Cabal, we literally grow soldiers that have years of combat and tactical experience already inside them fresh out of the growth pod. Cabal armor also has tactical feeds that if even one of them is shot, all other Cabal know within that unit that someone was attacked and where the shot angle came from. Tanks the size of small mountains. Yea Cabal win, not even close.

I want to see something like the fallen vs something or the hive vs something from halo. Also the cabal have land tanks so the banished won’t stand a chance against those

[@darkbonebreaker6318]

This was a pretty great video

[@Canuovea]

Lets be clear here, this is a total stomp lorewise, and the Cabal win easily. In fact, they'd probably win against the Covenant too. They're able to go toe to toe with the Hive, who defeated the equivalent of Destiny's Forerunners (the Ecumene, literally the same name as Halo's Forerunner government), considered complete masters of the physical realm. Now the Cabal still lose against the Hive for the most part, but they can still casually blow up planets and suns, or even consume planets for fuel. It's simply not a fair point. Destiny is playing with a level of power that Halo just can't match, if only due to it being more or less space fantasy rather than hard fantasy. However. On the ground? I'm not sure. The Banished have the best chance on the ground, but even then? I don't think so. The Cabal simply have too much to deploy and use, and both sides are capable of clever tactics. I think the thing that ruins it for the Banished would be the Psion's stuff. If we even out the numbers, though, the Banished might manage it. I dunno. In terms of characters, though, even without the Light, Ghaul almost certainly takes Atriox, or any other banished, to pieces. He's bigger, he's stronger, he's got better tech, tougher, and has at least as much combat experience. With the Light? It isn't even close to fair. The one thing I'll give the Banished for sure, though, is that their in game AI is much better.

[@dirtyblonde1011]

Beuh, the Cabal as an empire would survive in 40k. Maybe not become one of the biggest powerhouses, but DEFINITELY hold their own. They have what's essentially upgraded Bolters as their basic weapon (updates data on a FLEETWIDE SCALE with every shot fired; enemy armor, weak spots, gps, etc.). Cabal as a species is the same size as a Custodian and can be assumed to be as physically domineering as them in combat; the only reason we manage to hold our own against them is because of soace magic and plot armor via being the "main character" in game. They also have psuedo psyckers in the form of the Psions - while the average psion isn't as potent as a librarian, the psion FLAYERS are capable of threatening entire planets with only a group of 3 of them. The Leviathan wasn't specifically designed for war - it's the Cabal equivalant of a pleasure yacht. Imagine what actual warships are capable of, when a pleasure yacht is capable of eating planets. The ships themselves are likely armed well enough to require an entire floatilla to destroy, which is likely offset by the sheer amouny of resources required to build something of that scale.

[@juliansardina4789]

The Leviathan is the most powerful ship they have. It was killing multiple cabal warships in the raid. Your way overestimating the cabal. Space marines are bigger and faster than their average soldiers. Their commanders can get killed by a lightless hunter with a knife. Amanda gunned multiple down by herself. There average ships don’t do a lot of damage couldn’t even take out the tower. Their Zions have no protection against warp predators or blanks. They could survive in warhammer but never thrive.

[@convergence9042]

Didn’t the Banished steal a *Precursor* Superweapon in the novel Halo Outcasts that was capable of wiping out fleets and destroying the entire surface of a planet in one shot?

[@steamtraveler]

This may piss people off, but banished would win, because it wasnt mentioned, but the banished would be able to use there ability to adapt to use the red legion weaponry, sure the red legion has its fair share of positives to win, but the force that can adapt is more then likely to win, plus he didnt even mention the crazier stuff in halo wars 2, and trust me, there is Yes i am more Halo then Destiny, but when you want to look at the finer details, even with the Red Legions planets destroying weaponry, in the end they'll have nothing, the Banished could easily use theyre knowledge of converting foreign technology to turn said planet destroying weapons against the red legion. Yall can get understandably mad, but the Banished vs. Red Legion fight would just end up with the Banished winning, regardless of the destruction the Red Legion causes. Ofcourse i could be not knowing what im talking about, but with my current knowledge and added knowledge from this video, Banished wins almost all the time

[@Azorees-oj5zr]

My friend, a less supplied and more technologically primitive Cabal Legion was able to keep up with a race that causally controlled time and they were considered an average Legion. The Red Legion when they went up against said race began taking it all over and manipulating time as well, the Cabal are an extremely adaptable faction.

[@tymarscott6548]

Ghaul literally solos the whole army and their leader all due to 1 feat from his lore. Context: Calus had a group of elite assassins known as his Shadows. One of his shadows was a literal living lightning storm in space (Destiny is crazy and i love it❤) that was so massive it called The Leviathan tiny. The ship so massive it can easily fit a few earth-sized planets in its maw at once was called TINY by this storm. The feat: Calus gives it a suit that resembles Warlock armor to inhabit for its mission to kill Ghaul. Whrn facing Ghaul, it released every last drop of its electrical energy (literally died and faded away😢) in Ghaul's face and he tanked it and survived. The massive storm that described a casual planet-eating ship as "tiny", used everything it had all at once to kill Ghaul and failed. Ghaul was not saved by anyone nor used any special tech. He was ambushed, caught off guard, and had to tanked it all and was still in good fighting condition. Conclusion: Ghaul in base easily solos with or without space magic and immortality simply due to having easily Large planetary (super lowball) to potentially solar system level durability (high ball-due to just how big the living storm potentially was) 😅. The Banish literally have nothing that can hurt him. It took a paracausal being (the Guardian) and their God (The Traveler) to kill him.

Without superpowers or super weapons involved, it would be the banished hands-down they have better vehicles, variety of infantry that can handle strength in numbers/heavy armor(plus they have several extremely heavy armored vehicle/infantry of their own) and they have superior shielding on their ships compared to Destiny shielding on their ships. It would be one great fight to see though.

[@yourewrong9028]

Not really sure about that tbh. Cabal shielding or armor, one or the other, has to be pretty damn good considering how close to the sun they stationed the almighty escort fleet - a star’s corona can reach over a million degrees Celsius. Meanwhile nanolaminate covenant hulls experience minor hull tearing, conduit melting, and significant armor softening at around 1700 degrees Celsius. Plus, Cabal have imperial land tanks, which dwarf pretty much every halo vehicle to an absurd degree. They’re much larger even than covenant krakens. And none of that is to mention Psions and Flayers, which like… yeah. I’m sorry, but I’m pretty sure the banished are very, very boned in this fight, even if they generally have a wider variety of more versatile infantry and armored vehicles.
