THE FLOOD VS THE VEX! (Halo Vs. Destiny) Who Wins?

Something about the vex that i haven't seen anyone else mention: we haven't been fighting their combat units, we have supposedly been fighting worker units (the wyverns being a potential exception).

Let's not forget we truly do not know the full power of the Vex. We've seen scouts, we've seen builders, and we've seen their guard units, but we haven't yet seen the full combat power of the Vex. Exactly how much power, technology, and reserves do they posses? If they couldn't win with power, they have a frightening potential to win with logistics. Unless we could breach their homeworld, and find a way to halt a potential universe of Vex, all you'll end up doing is plugging leaks in a sinking ship that's already underwater.

I like the explanation that vex teleports aren't really teleports. While they "teleporting" they just search for an alternative timeline where the body is just standing somewhere else

As much as i love the flood more for their personality and fear factor, they do require a nervous system to attach to a host (something a vex radiolaria does not have), and the vex are simply more technologically advanced than even the forerunners. The vex would win.

A cool thing is in Halo 3, when the gravemind talks to you, your character's vision is messed up and your movement is slowed, is an actual lore thing, when the gravemind talks to someone/something, it can make it feel like an eternity just to screw with you

The vex are a liquid race. In robot bodies. They can also time travel/manipulate time and adapt to the threat it’s facing. For example Quira Blade Transform was made to study hive worms. I am skeptical if flood spores can infect radiolaria fluid or if it dies like antibodies fighting off foreign bacteria or viruses.

I feel like the vex and flood would combine into an even more powerful hive mind

Wait wait i thought the only real warrior vex we encountered is the wyverns the rest are like maintenance and construction units with combat as a secondary function

Its still wild that the vex are capable of respect they are more complex then we think

Next time, do a video of Hive vs Flood. They both have the same end goals, but use different strategies to obtain them. Both have huge numbers, too.

The Flood are intelligent, relentless, and merciless. The Vex, by contrast, are virtually unstoppable in the long game. The Flood are aggressive yet patient, the Vex are cold and calculating. If presented with a problem, the Flood will seek to understand while they solve it, the Vex simply "rectify" it. The Flood can wait for æons, but the Vex simply bring those æons to them.

The thing is, we know that Graveminds are some of the highest ranked flood forms around. We havent even began to scratch the surface of what the hierarchy of the Vex are. Atheon as far as lore wise was simply a Librarian of timelines that confluxed through him. Goblins, Hobgoblins, Minotaurs, Hydras, and Cyclops are mearly the building and tarraforming units. The Wyverns are the basic warrior units of the vex, and nobody enjoys fighting them. The cherry on top is that the vex can time travel can erase you from history. The only reason they can do that with Guardians or Humanity as a whole, is because the Traveler is paracausal and therefore the vex cant replicate or simulate paracausality.

Yes! Definitely need more Halo vs Destiny vids.

There's simply not enough biomass in each vex to grow in a meaningful way before being engulfed in slap-rifle fire.

Atheon could literally just expunge the flood from the timeline, couldn't he?

I think it might depend on the size. Whether or not a single Vex organism is larger or smaller than a Flood supercell. We know how big and how small cells can get (i dont though) so it depends on whether or not the single Vex organism away from a collective is large enough, and if it has a central nervous system. And even then, maybe the Vex can outsimulate the Flood, or the Flood can gain the knowledge the Vex have, rabbit hole time. Also the Covenant vs the Cabal would be interesting

I think the biggest deciding factor in this will be the effect that the Flood have on the Vex. Anything that’s exposed to Vex radiolaria (mind fluid) is reconstructed to be converted into Vex matter, and if I remember correctly, any knowledge that an organic contains becomes encoded into the Vex network. In addition, the base supercell of the Flood that comes from their Precursor origins. Would it be immune to Vex conversion or not? Would a grave or Keymind have enough power/intelligence to maintain its sense of self to enter and corrupt the Vex network after conversion via radiolaria, or will the Vex be able to quantify the Floods existence enough to eventually erase it? Lots of angles here but as long as there are sufficiently complicated organics the fight would be a stalemate with the deciding factor, to me, being who can absorb one into the other being the deciding win factor.

I would love to see a Flood or Tyranid VS Hive scenario, I feel that would just be the most interesting fight of all time and have us on the edge of our seats

Do the covenant versus the red Legion

Flood gave me nightmares to this day because of the library mission the vex does not
