Recon would pair great with our artillery and e-war skills. Maybe we should pick up some scouts and mortar jaguars next chance we get.

Most of out skills synergize best with doing good recon. It lets us better leverage artillery and electronic warfare, while deceptions are vastly more likely to succeed the more we know about enemy positioning and strengths.

I kind of envision Ouro right now acts best as an one doll army, as she's lacking in actual forces to command, and offensive/defensive tactics aren't actually things she's picked up. It definitely amuses me, remembering that Gager was complaining about Ouro not being a cqc specialized doll, and here she's like 'Fine, I'll do everything myself'
I'd think of it as her favoring heavy queen play.

..it'll play into her personality I guess, which seems good to me as well, though she's a command unit (Ringleader?) and just sending forces to the grinder might be seen as inefficient. Maybe. Getting at least one-point across the 'board of skills' might be of interest though we shouldn't miss out the opportunities/options that somehow could increase a 'level' of another 'skill' that Ouro has. Not meaning to be a 'jack of all trades' but something that'll make sense as a 'chess player' I guess... though usually chess players don't take on the 'field' most of the time so Ouro will be one of those though however.
..E-War might be good the more I think about it..

We shouldn't try over generalizing, but a point in offense and defense wouldn't go amiss. After that I wouldn't mind doubling down on Recon or Artillery, and grab another anoth cqc later.
Zero disagrees about the king not taking to the feild, and based on her simulation performance, Oro also disagrees.
Specialization, yes, though specifically to what kind is still up in the air. Still 'groggy' (just woke-up) so memories are hazy on that reply. It'll be awhile for the next update anyway so there's still time to tinker about future builds. Maybe. Recon is something I'll want to push to Level 3 if possible though... though I guess it'll depend on the votes at the end of the day.

Of our 5 failed skill checks this chapter, 2 were RECON, 2 were OFFENSIVE TACTICS, and 1 was DEFENSIVE TACTICS.
Of our unskilled vote options, 3 were OFFENSIVE TACTICS, 2 were DEFENSIVE TACTICS, 2 were RECON, and 1 was DECEPTION (now gained).
On the more narrative level, I do feel as though the tactics votes fit Oreo's history better - if every chess match was against a new opponent, there'd be no opportunity to study their play style ahead of time; It's one match, to the death, then onto the next copy.

Folks, you have to understand that Oro is now off to rescue two ringleaders. So she needs Recon to know where to go and what to look for. Ideally she should not even engage in direct combat, but only hit from a distance to distract the enemy from what she is actually doing. Given the presence of electronic warfare and deception she has a chance of success, but if she chooses offensive tactics... it won't end well.
By the way, author, edit the character sheet. It's not long, but it cuts the eye.

Hmmm. Recon does pair well with what we have, but both Offensive and Defensive tactics seem like very central, general skills that will get used a lot. I am of the opinion that we should shore up the basics before branching out.

Well. I admit, I suspected the vote was going to swing a certain way.
Didn't realize it would be to this degree, though.
