She is a grill, she must have a instictual fear of tentacles!

We can also focus on flanking her, as that shield can not defend everywhere.

But it is designed to defend from one direction. You think that we are the first to try distraction tactics? The realities of a shield mean that you need to brace yourself to defend properly, so an attack from two sides is near impossible to stop.

Shirley is a Nasty opponent.

There is a spell list with her character sheet, although that probably only has the common ones and not the ones she made her self.

In this battle, she won't use most of her spells. She's just holding back for this tutorial boss battle.

Dangit, I just looked at that spellsheet, and apparently Shirley has Clairvoyance. Obscure is probably not going to work very well.

JoshieWoshie · Oct 29, 2015

Not a single one of you are going to try distracting her by blowing her skirt up with Gust?

For shame/honor.

Snrk.

Will she deliberately aim to get us wet then hit us with a lightning spell?

If we're unlucky enough, I guess?

This reminds me of one of my lessons on self-defense; Use whatever means necessary, including modesty, yours or your opponent's. Sadly, if we do it here, genre conventions would dictate that we lose due to feminine fury.

But... right. Harem genre. The Universe would warp to ensure our defeat.

Not how I view it. Those choices were how we decided to grieve for her and remember her

I think his main problem was that you took hours getting around to actually pointing out its a bit of a thing even if you could make it work. And honestly, I agree. If you were asleep that would be one thing, but you responded to others during that time and didn't even make a peep about the name.

Edit:

... Or not?

It's that I am ashamed that I exploded like that.

And he was reasonable at the end.

We probably wouldn't be the first one to have tried this tactic though, maybe we can complement this by attacking from a low height. (It's awkward to defend legs with a shield)

More likely we would get our assess kicked as she'll stop holding back and trash us as an experienced magic knight

[X] Attack.
-[X] Use Obscure, then circle to her flank when she is blinded.

Meh, water under the bridge. Don't worry 'bout it.

ShadowAngelBeta · Oct 29, 2015

Clairvoyance makes Obscure a moot point, though eventually, even with, that Obscure would be useful if we use it to do teleporting strikes.

I figure we could approach that type of spell two ways either we actually teleport anyway in Darkness/shadow (using Obscure this means anywhere in our range) and then attack or we meld into the Darkness and essentially make thousands of attacks per second due to the fact that we can move our strike mid-attack to a new location.

Or if you want to get more broken, move at the speed of Darkness, which is essentially equal to or greater than the speed of light.

So physical base vs. conceptual base for the spell. The latter would be higher end likely just due to the fact that it is conceptual, but still.

And wow, I went way off my original topic.

Fair enough, you still had good points.

Right now she has no idea how we fight, so keeping it that way seems like a good way to start.

We probably wouldn't be the first one to have tried this tactic though, maybe we can complement this by attacking from a low height.

More likely we would get our assess kicked as she'll stop holding back and trash us as an experienced magic knight.

She has Clairvoyance, she doesn't need to physically see us. Unless we can obscure our magical and/or psychic presence as well... which we probably could. We have Darkness, and could probably swing a conceptual "Things that hide in the Dark" defense.

PrinceArjuna said:

Depends, is this enough of a deconstruction that we won't automatically lose for using something like that against her to win?

Hadiz · Oct 29, 2015

@PrinceArjuna

What does Gust do? As I can't read Hongo's stat sheet without quoting it for some reason. :???:

Edit
As well as Soul Arts please.

Obscure only allows the light in the immediate area to be extinguished, thus rendering the area dark. We are still able to move within the darkness freely, but only with normal speed. We have yet to learn to move in the speed of shadows.

Harmless wind, suitable for diversion and distraction. It cannot inflict damages, by the way. Just harmless gust of wind.

Hmm... probably would only serve as a split second annoyance then
A pity we don't have ranged attacks. A buckler's small size makes it ideal for parrying stuff like blades, due to its manoeuvrability but is quite bad against multiple projectiles.

Release a sudden gust of wind from your palms. It does not inflict damage on your opponent, but can be used as a diversion or a distraction.

-[X] Solidify Shadows
--[X] Try to mirror your attacks with the shadows so that she is being constantly assaulted with two or three blades at completely different angles
---[X] Block with the shadow blades when necessary, leaving your actual gear free to attack and counter

[X] Attack

Kill the lights, then while she casts Clairvoyance, we sic the tentacles.

So is Shirley the type of character to get flustered by a skirt shot? She is a Soldier rank, after all.

If you wish to have Cast Solidify Shadows, just choose Cast Solidify Shadows without choosing Attack. Even if you choose Cast Solidify Shadows, there are still normal attacks that our character will use as part of the combo.

She wears pantyhose/leggings.

Hadiz said:

Soul Arts are like Limit Breaks, only that they have limited charges and need some cooldown time to get those charges back after we use them.
