Hrrrm…
Pride and Wrath…
We might want to be wary of who's who in melees and be willing to be more generous the normal- a competitor that insists on Doing Her Best won't retire and that can cause annoyances if we pick the wrong competition for kicking others out of it in favor of our own glory.
For all Wrath might tend to be the 'flashier' of Audrey's Sins, this is where Pride comes to the fore.
If we make it to the end though we get the charger, it's just a question of what bonuses we get along the way. Buuut.,,I don't know how big the field is and by the sounds of it the topic of the field will all outclass us so we cannot assume we can faceroll through all competitors.
Another thing to consider is that we'll probably have limited recovery chances-fighting a powerful opponent and winning is all well and good, but there's unfortunately good reason to clobber some weaker contestants to preserve our resources…
But both points slam into the whole Pride thing from earlier, so it's going to need to be a careful balancing act.
