SayakaQuest Thread 10: Glory To The Death

Reader mode
The usual stuff you know, like losing our arms and legs. Wally decide go arael on us.And somebody made a mami pun ( I don't know who say it though). Finally moid prove once again that he is a human/incubator hybrid. You know the usual stuff.

Well, I'd like to know which direction Mami is facing when she dashes away from an attack and and if she is between Sayaka and Kyouko.

Between Sayaka and Kyouko: Pretty sure no, at the moment. We just barely avoided being used as a blunt weapon against Kyouko when Mami was tossing us around.

So far I don't think Mami has "dashed away" from any attack. She's mainly just blowing up barriers and dealing with us at range. We're still trying to get in range to make an actual attack.

There was that one attack, you know, the WAVE SPAM of diediediediedie that killed the other familiar. It really just comes down to is she watching us, or is she looking where she's going?

She seems to be focused on Kyoko at the moment, but she's too good at dodging at range. Keep in mind the wave rend spam was made from time stop and that it was supposed to kill her too. Ranged attacks appear to be a waste of our time, here.

Edit: for clarification, most of us seem to agree that we can't out-ranged attack Mami; we'll have to get in close. She's no slouch there, either, but it's better than being whipped around and shot while doing absolutely no damage to her.

[x] Summon a platform along our trajectory and rotate so that we can slam our feet into it. At the moment we stop, cut the ribbon.
[x] Ask Kyouko to buy you a few seconds with barrier spam
-[x] Cleanse

"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT-!" Suddenly, Mami is clotheselined by a chain as Kyouko rushes by. She closes her eyes shut before she yanks, sending the False Mami backwards with a hard pull.

You let the momentum carry you forwards before you nonchalantly slice the ribbon and summon an enormous sword to slam into. The entire thing shakes with your impact, and you let out a relaxed sigh.

In a smooth motion, you pull out a grief seed and press it against your gem.

[NINETEEN CLEANSES LEFT]​


[x] Take advantage of one of the delays of Kyouko's barriers to launch towards the end of the chain that Kyouko wrapped around Mami's neck; grab it.
-[x] If Mami pulls us towards her, let her; otherwise, keep hold of the chain and work to close in on her. Work to ensure Mami doesn't shoot the chain.

A barrier wraps itself around the False Mami's head, before she tears it apart with a free hand and fires with the other. A shot glances off of Kyouko's armor, before she takes her spear and slings it back over.

Immediately, Kyouko eats a shot to the side of her throat for her troubles, with the force sending her sideways and into a nearby wall.

You clench your teeth on reflex, before you raise your own swords and begin to throw.

[x] Throw a barrage of rapiers at her, to try to divert her into spending time shooting them instead of us.




Several rapiers hit the ground around Mami, with her shooting several of them out of the sky. In a swift motion, you detonate, before you see her rising out of the smoke towards you.

[x] Keep Rending Blade active for defense against Mami's counterstrikes.




Your eyes widen as she suddenly bursts out of the smoke, gun to your head, before you raise your shield on reflex. The shot glances off of your shield hard, but it still sends you backwards with your rending blade.

[x] Get into melee. Impale and detonate.




You ram your sword into the False Mami's side as soon as she turns to destroy the barrier. You jump backwards to detonate, only to watch her yank it out by hand and throw it at the barrier as black blood sprays against the ground. The explosion rips apart the chains, before she turns with her ribbon arm and tears it open.

Immediately, guns, many, many guns fly out as the limb unravels, and they clatter against the ground before floating in the air and aiming themselves right at you.

[x] Maintain strategy regarding ribbon grappling.

Yeah, she's not just doing that right now.

In the corner of your eye, you see Kyouko ripping apart the wall around her as she lets out a wet, bloody cough. She grinds her teeth as she stares at the false Mami.

[OPTION SELECT]​

I mean, it's not exactly the safest of plans, but oh well. And if it doesn't work, we can fall back on the Homura strategy.
 
Ok, she just unraveled her left arm, so no longer has that directly available.

Also, the timestop gank might actually work this time. She just pushed all her focus into the mass wall-of-guns, which means her defensive alertness should have dropped. A large Rending Blade strike, plus Kyouko assist, from directly behind her seems like it should work.
 
I'll just go ahead and formally vote for it:

[x] Get Homura to timestop us
[x] Do essentially this from the safety of timestop:

[x] give Homura a grief seed

Also, we had a distracted mumi on that last attack attempt. The tactics seemed to be working; Mami just rolled way too well.

We should still give serious thought as to whether we could weather this without Homura, though, so not going to actively vote for it yet.
 
This is really one of those occasions where I wish our performance wasn't so dependent on the dice.

Ugh.

Calling Homu, I see is a personal failure. We were left to our own devices because Homu expected us to be able to handle this.

I would keep trying to constrain Mami's movements. And keep trying to get in close. Keep the shield up. Plow through the barrage. Melee is a better position to be in then range.
