<p>The all too predictably redundant character battle discussion is finally here. You and I both knew this would eventually be created, so I guess I'll be "that guy." Now that the game has been out for a reasonable amount of time, I'm sure we can come up with a conclusion on who's the stronger Conduit, personal bias aside, of course.
