Frank is more skilled, have better control with his shape shifting, have handled worst than her, and is more versatile. So can you give me more explanation why you think Alex wins this? I really would like to hear why Alex wins. Alex would definitely win not only does he/she have the experience from surviving on the streets as a demigod but also viking training which teaches them too fight to the death. Also when it comes down to it Alex is more cunning and has more blood-lust than Frank. I feel like Frank would be more hesitant to do the things Alex would to win. Plus Alex is a child of Loki and if we're learned anything is they always come up on top one way or another.

Really? Alex has experience and a lot of training but you should know that training means nothing in the riordan universe. For example, Frank was able to beat a lot of members of the first and second cohorts who have trained for several years when he himself had only been training for a month. Also, if training does matter that much, then Jason will absolutely destroy everyone being training for 12 years. Also, it should be noted Frank has fought much stronger than those that Alex fought and the monsters that Alex fought are minor compared to what Frank was able to fight. As well as that, do you really think Frank will hesitate to try and win this fight? As we know, the loser of this fight dies and I sincerely don't think Frank will really like to die so of course he will use his powers to their full extent. Who's heard of someone hesitating to use their powers in a battle to the death? As well as that, blood lust isn't really important in a fight at all. Sure it can help you gain energy and possibly stamina but it can cloud your judgement and tactics and in a fast paced fight like this, both are extremely important probably more so than energy or even stamina. As well as that, Frank can shape shift better than Alex, has better tactics, is able to think faster, has fairly quick reactions quicker than those of Alex's, has much better control over weaponry and is much more physically stronger than Alex.
