Even if Dandeer has trained her tail, Kakara was taken out momentarily when hers was severed, and I don't doubt that it will be further distracting -- hopefully enough for Dandelor to break the mind control.
Right, time to make one last argument against the Dandeer-flail before I go to sleep.
We have absolutely
no idea how long it will take Dandelor to break the mind control, and we're pretty much betting the fight on that he will be able to do so before Vegeta and Berra manage leverage their numbers advantage into getting knocking us out or making us lose control of Dandeer (by, say, one of them hitting us in the back while Dandeer is in front of us, or Berra managing to get us with a Solar Flare and Vegeta knocking us out while we can't use Dandeer as a shield).
It could be relatively easy and only take a few seconds, or it could be pretty much impossible to do while they're resisting and we'll just have to wait for the spell to wear off by itself (which also might never happen). Since Dandeer is a better sorcerer than Dandelor, and it likely took her prep to prepare the mind control, I don't want to bet our chances of victory on Dandelor being able to do it quickly.
Getting to Dandeer is going to be relatively hard, since we just went after her twice in a row and Berra's going to be prepared for that, and if we succeed, the pay-off is then having to hold off Vegeta and Berra for an unknown amount of time, with no ki techniques since both our arms hands will be used to hold Dandeer. It's simply a lot of risk for a reward that might not be that good, and once both of our hand are occupied with Dandeer, we're locked into a fight that we might not have a chance of winning.
Meanwhile, if we go for Jaffur or Vegeta, we're more likely to succeed, since Berra will be focused on protecting Dandeer (as we just went for her twice), and the immediate payoff is a lot better, either removing a third of the enemies' power (if we go for Vegeta) or getting our strongest fighter back up (if we go for Jaffur). Plus, after we've evened the odds (or heck, even if we fail to do so) we will then be able to go for Dandeer, and then we'll only have to hold off one enemy rather than two.
Now, out of going for Vegeta and going for healing Jaffur, I think Vegeta is the better option because Golden Ape Berra will be more able interfere with healing Jaffur by attacking the Senzus than he's able to protect Vegeta with his relatively low speed, but either give a lot more immediate payoff than grabbing Dandeer's tail.
Whether it's a punch or a ki blast, we will be dropping our PL shortly before it hits us, not just dropping our PL and giving Berra a chance to react.
That's
even more risky. What if Berra can't stop the blast and we end up dead or taken out of the fight?
