Kindred: Who is the more dominant of the two? Lamb or Wolf?

Let me reiterate the question in better detail. Of the two, , who do you think is the more dominant spirit/reaper? Also, if the two were to ever "separate" from each other, which spirit would prove to be the better successor if they ever fought each other? (Or victor in a battle to the death?)

I feel like a lot of confusion stems from the fact that they are one eternal spirit, but they do have two different personalities and they act on each others emotions/desires. I'm just curious to know which of the two you favor more or align towards in terms of skill, ability, strengths & weaknesses, personality, etc.

Personally, I like Wolf a lot more than Lamb. Even though he isn't seen much in game, he has such a cool design and VO. Judging by his lore and persona, he's a brutal force to be reckoned with and Lamb barely keeps him in control. However, I don't seem him doing much to Lamb if they were ever to go toe to toe against each other, since Lamb is more agile and cunning compared to Wolf's ferocity.

I dunno... What do you guys think?

They are equal, but Wolf always lets Lamb allow someone the arrow over the hunt.

They're both equal, merely different halves of the same manifestation. It's easy to say, due to game mechanic limitations, that 'Lamb is best because full body, etc', but that is not a story question. That's a game design question.

For as over aggressive and voracious Wolf seems, Lamb is calculating and methodical. Their scale of destruction is absolutely the same, the only difference is their methods. Hence, why equality is paramount between them: one is not better or worse than the other. For as much Lamb seems to keep Wolf in control, Wolf wants to be controlled by Lamb. For as much Lamb wants to give a peaceful death, Wolf's hunt pushes Lamb that violence is the only answer sometimes.

Synergy, if you will.

Lamb. She's the one who constantly tempers Wolf and keeps him in check. Raw power and aggression won't win over fine control. Hence why in game, you control Lamb, while Wolf is there to be let free at times.

Imo more people who accept death than chances for those people to run for it.

Lamb seems smarter and more in control. She's constantly reassuring Wolf she won't leave him, and that they have things under control.

Wolf seems to act completely on instinct. He's hungry and he wants to play chase, he's like a dog.

For example, the way their passive works. Lamb is expressly choosing targets, the player picks who she marks. She uses logic and control. Wolf marks whatever he wants, when he wants. He's not really into strategy, just hunting and killing.

I think None of them. They share their kit and influence evenly.

As someone mentioned they CAN'T be separated for any reason because they are the same reaper, just given two faces for the appropriate reaction of death--acceptance, or refusal. They do have different personalities, but again to apply the according reaction to their hunted's demise. Lamb might be the "main body" and seems to be the one to lead, but that is just the quirk of their manifestation as they are going to the same place with the same purpose; to kill either peacefully or violently, but absolutely in whichever way the kill must be proceeded.

As long as there are people that accept their death, Lamb will exist. As long as people refuse to die, Wolf will exist. And as long as death exists, they will be together, never apart.

Lamb. Wolf waNted.to kill magga. But lamb managed to keep him in line. Which vould explain why lamb is the only one of the two to have a full figure where as wolf is a floating head. This could mean that lamb has the control.
