[OOC] The War of the Three

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL Go for Diana/Juno. I'd like to see them in action together.

[Awesomoman64]

Well, this marks the second battle in a row where team angel players bring a total of two characters to the fight.

And given their attrition, I'm not sure that's going to be solved anytime soon.

@The 42nd Gecko

Very much likely to happen. Nevertheless, the next battle is also going to be ripe of opportunities for Victoire (who has been out of combat for 2 or 3 battles in a row) to shine and I really want to see what the new batch of Machina are going to do when faced with their #01 Nemesis. Considering that swapping factions will remove the immunity any of the traitorous demons have to Victoire's magic this can be quite interesting.

It's really a though choice for me to do.

@Awesomoman64 Well, is Omega gonna start helping? Or is it going to be like the Eve Miyu battle squad of last team where Eve runs in and gets beaten up, while Miyu does nothing important.

When you are sending nigh literal gods to the battlefield it's all about quality, not quantity. That has always been the Heaven's gimmick on this RP.

In fact, things go like this in my mind's meta:

Angels: Quality.

Machina: Quantity.

Demons: Trickery.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL No, the Angel's Shtick is Trickery. The only two battles they've won have been through A. Kiting and B. Literal Luck of the Draw. They've never won by actually fighting.

The Demon's Shtick is Quality. The only two battle's they've won have been through Victoire carrying them.

Umm. Well, you see. Omega is going to- *Throws pocket sand. Runs*

@The 42nd Gecko

That maybe it (I still call BS on the Machina losing at Ruthria when they had both the type and number advantage, but the past is the past).

Nevertheless, Victoire's wins come from the fact that she's a literal Swiss army knife in terms of powers, this still counts as trickery in my book, especially since I have underplay her most of the time, to avoid the vitriolic reactions I got back in the past.

@The 42nd Gecko
"Eve runs in and gets beaten up" is a funny way of saying that she can keep flying after cracking through a shield made of magic silver.

[KoL]

That said, I really find it fun that the Machina never ever made use of their numeric advantage in nearly all battles up to now. The simple fact that they fail at basic coordination maneuvers is enough to cause them to lose every single conflict unless someone like Bastion or Eos steps in to even the odds.

@Banana

That speed would be much, much better used if she learned that ramming stuff several times tougher than she's at extremely high speeds is a great way to hurt herself.

[Gardevoiran]

@KoL
Oh she knows. She doesn't care, though. Especially now that she has a pseudo-revive.

Ok, Yang.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL @TheWindel Does it count as a character participating in a battle, if a character lays a blessing spell on someone pre-fight and then stays home?

Aka, if Miyu just goes "And now your Armor is Mantle of Unconquerable Sun'd for a defense boost" to Henry, and then stays home, does she count as a participating character?

Aka, if Miyu just goes "And now your Armor is Mantle of Unconquerable Sun'd for a minor defense boost" to Henry, and then stays home, does she count as a participating character?

@The 42nd Gecko

No, since it's before the battle.

@Lonewolf685 What does Luci like to eat, and what's the size of her appetite?

[thewizardguy]

I still fail to understand why any faction would ever bring anything less than their entire army. I mean, it's not like you'll lose any soldiers, they're all immortal.

[Lucius Cypher]

@thewizardguy

I would've totes brought my army if I still had the authority to command an army. I lost my commander title a while back. Though I'm thinking that once Endian understands the nature of this place some more, she could bring out a new and improved version of her desired army out to this battle.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@thewizardguy There are supposedly battles going on that the unused characters might be part of, but most of the time people are just lazing around.

Also, people without names don't matter.

Miyu, of all people, managed to destroy the entire demonic army sans people with names once, and it didn't even slow them down.
