[X] Plan Invisible Nuke
-[X] Stance: Vanguard's Prayer (5/turn), Innocuous Blows (2/turn), Perfect Footing, Strandsense, Superlative Counter, Francisca Toss, Black Scratch, Giant-Killing Blow, Clever Deflection, Slip Free, Bouncing Leap
-[X] Expenditures: Potential Defensive Finale (19 Zeal), 7 Fervour/turn on passives, 11/11 Capacity
-[X] Tactics: Don't immediately activate Innocuous Blows. Toss our Francisca at him to break his shield, then use Bouncing Leap (and the boots of speed if they meaningfully help with launching ourself) to close the distance and hit him with a GKB, temporarily activating Innocuous Blows to make the GKB look like a Basic Attack. Use Sunder's ability on this attack and a +20 dmg Force Ring. If the fight continues, mainly use Black Scratch to attack, with a GKB if we get a good opening. Try to keep him at a safe distance so that he can't grapple us easily, use Bouncing Leap to make space if needed, and Slip Free + Stone-Strength Ring if he lands a grapple or other pin style effect on us. If he is about to land an attack that looks extremely dangerous and we don't think we can dodge/block it, or we fail to Slip Free from a grapple, Crowley launches a Lightning Bolt at him to stun him and knock him out of the attack, and we GKB him. In general, only use Innocuous Blows to hide GKBs. Use Superlative Counter if he Finales us.

-[X] Stance: Vanguard's Prayer (5/turn), Innocuous Blows (2/turn), Uneven Ground, Strandsense, Superlative Counter, Francisca Toss, Probing Strike, Giant-Killing Blow, Clever Deflection, Slip Free, Black Scratch

-[X] Tactics: Play into the opponents expectations. Open up with Francesca Toss to take out his shield, and if he pulls out another one retrieve the Francesca and repeat until he runs out of shields. Defend against the Saix being tossed and called back at odd angles. Prepare slip free and the stone ring in the event of a grapple. Use Innocuous Blows and Probing Strike to feign weakness to Audrey's strikes while relying on her social chops to play up the act and feed into the opponents arrogance, then when an opening presents itself GKB Plus Sunder Plus Force Ring effect to OHKO him if possible. Failing that, do it again just to fuck with him, but this time include Uneven Ground and Black Scratch to ruin his ability to position or defend himself and finish him off. With Superlative Counter in reserve if needed
