Straight up fight, who wins? Some things to think about: Atheon can teleport stuff through time and space. Atheon can summon supplicants that blow up and kill stuff. Atheon no longer has the balance issues he had and falls off his platform far less than he used to when I first met him. Crota has a shield. Crota has a general nasty effect on oeople where they don't heal so well. Like advanced Ebola or something (although chalices of light help) Crota could melee with his big ass sword. Edit: looks like most people think atheon is top dawg. So much for being a god crota lad!
