We also don't need to run away forever. We still have Progression, and I'm choosing Thorn because I think that we'll outgrow it. We'll have enough Arete for Praxis at some point, seeing how it's the next likely expenditure after Silver and ADS/OaF.
Yes, if everything goes well we can. What do you think we need to roll for it to "go well"?
Yeah, even the fabled Arete push can't save us every time. : (
While true this is a pick you are making instead of just confronting the threat we know we can defeat explicitly if we aren't stupid about it.
You should recalibrate your risk assessment. 20% and 10% reduced is risker than 0% reduced with a 100% win rate.
One would hope it won't force us into suicidal charges. Hunger does enough of that on his own, thank you very much.
Tell that to the Praxis faction that just encumbered 12 Arete and insisted that they CANT be spent on anything that would increase our power at all. That's 12 Arete sitting in a locked box and not even getting any interest payments. That's a precommitment to buy another pure-potential option in Imperial Praxis, which does not seem to offer anything except the opportunity to buy EVEN MORE Arete-intensive Praxis picks.
We'll just have to torture ourselves after running away, in penance. And then, because we hate torturers, more torture!
Not really. An 20% reduced Prestige classing would give us an little room for error where optimization is concerned while an 10% reduced Rotbeast, if we defeat it would further still increase our chances of success against the next challenge because of higher R A N K etc. It reduces risk against Ber in exchange for increasing it in the short term.
Keepin' It Simple tanks our Rank gain if the rotbeast significantly reduces the population and/or communication infrastructure of the Sovereignty. That happens if it reaches the city but Hunger can intercept it - hell, he should be on his way to attack it before he even finds out it's started moving. The countryside in that direction is not densely populated because that's where the rotspawn keep attacking. Also, while damage from Rotty reduces our breadth of fame, killing it in a kaiju battle on ES territory gives us a great height of glory for a potentially even greater volume of rep.
I just...
Don`t worry, her SOCIAL is good so she can do it.
We do not get to pick which is 10% reduced and which is 20% reduced.
Hm, you have a point. This would be the point to make tactics, but before any of that Hunger would even have to be aware of the threat. And Aveai's unreliable communication might as well 0% during a Proc. Hopefully conventional methods work, if we're close enough. Rank instincts? At least it's big?
My current prediction is movie drama level: The call gets through only after we are committed to Mizuku and can't back out until success or failure. We come rushing back as quickly as we can after that and arrive just in time to see a large portion of the city destroyed (because that's how it goes in the movies). We win the fight but the sovereignty is crippled.
We have to be optimal and synergistic in our build votes to beat Ber, that's pretty much stated in the description. And, it's nowhere near as easy to pull off as it sounds. The risk is very much real and serious.
Heh. Makes me want to see the SOCIAL Praxis. Tell laserblasts off bluely for being rude and they get deflected!
