Gambit said the only equilibrium was mixed, with 1/5 each of (blue sword, blue armor), (blue sword, green armor), (yellow sword, yellow armor), (green sword, yellow armor), and (green sword, green armor).
With a stylin' bonus of ε points per duel (if a win is 1 point and a loss is −1 points), Gambit says for ε≤1/4 the equilibrium is:
(blue sword, blue armor): 1/5−(4/5)ε
(blue sword, green armor): 1/5−(3/5)ε
(yellow sword, yellow armor): 1/5+(4/5)ε
(green sword, yellow armor): 1/5+(3/5)ε
(green sword, green armor): 1/5
