Hmm... I think that you would just have to pay for it once.
Hmmm. We may need to pull out the Odr here and just melee it.
Math-wise, it's rolling around 14d6+4 offensively and 15d6+8 defensively which is...not great combined with the -4 DR and, presumably, hitting like a damn truck.
Attacker Wins! 6-4=2 Damage!)
Wait, shouldn't our base damage here be 7?
Also, I think your wrong about the parry only working on ranged attacks? Halla herself noted that she'd have to get rid of them to get at the actual body. Otherwise, I don't see why should we waste orthstirr on two Kindle-Spinners.
Ah, you're right. It's the
number. It has only 5 of them per turn. But it seems to use them first, and it's going heavier on offense this time as well, which might reduce them for...something else. Hmmm.
Right now (emphasis on right now) I'm thinking we Leaping Cleave into it with Puncture and an Odr-boosted attack (using EWC to dodge mid-flight if necessary as is usual at this point), then make a 3Fold Skewer-Flick attack, again using Odr for damage (all using Puncture as well)...those should do 5 damage each with 2 Odr a piece, I think. That involves being in melee, though which is not good, I admit. Hmmm. Lemme think.
Honestly Deadman, I'd say "Fold Puncture in, but use a Berry", that should get the damage output to the point where every unparried hit will do damage. Maybe do a four or five-folded attack to force it to over-extend or concede, and then do an Odr Boosted Leaping Cleave for a Big Damage Hit while it's unable to react?
That's a whole 1 damage per attack. That's...not enough. We can up it with Odr, sure, but that's real expensive to do on 4-5 attacks, and it honestly might just tank them rather than parry them at that point. And it can still make normal Parries at, like, 14d6+8 even when its Perfects are down...to be honest, its Perfect defenses are kind of a 'shields down' thing while we have Puncture up and running (if an expensive one), since they should let us hit it.
