Lanson would win in a fight against Caden mainly because of his strongmindness fuels his determination and will allow him to win. While Caden has the advantage with his spear, sword, and shield, Lanson will be able to dodge his strikes using his natural agility and his wings to fly around his opponent due to Caden's lack of agility.

After successfully dodging a few attacks Lanson will be able to get in close with Caden and quickly strike him with the cestuses. If his opponent proves even more powerful than he initially sees he will resort to his fire breath to quickly wound Caden, and then strike in with his cestuses to finish him off.

If things become too hectic, Lanson might play on Caden's trust factor by acting too wounded to fight, then striking at him when he's vulnerable.
