The point isn't to really do anything to her, it's as cover fire for our approach to laserguca's best buddy. If we can force her to duck for cover, or to call for extraction, or even just to obscure her vision with explosions deflected by Gravity, or anything other than the mother of all light explosions because we're about to grab her best friend's gem, that's enough. Furthermore, Mami's attacks can arc, so we can shoot them from behind shields.

We just call them Ramiel and Gravityfails, at least until we've been formally introduced. And even then, we're probably going to keep calling them nicknames, just because.
Don't see why not. It's been added to the vote.
@Crasian01 Re: Akiko not using water jets
I don't think she can. From what I'm seeing, it's becoming more apparent that her specialty is *Macro*control of water. She can move and conjure masses of water, but isn't able to affect things like its pressure too much.
Remember that waterwall she had? That we plowed right through?
Side-thought: it's also lending some credence on that theory that she wished the tsunami away...

She's too veteran for that, I think.
But hmm, that plays very well for us, since fucking around with that sort of thing is precisely what our powerset is good at.

Excellent.

You guys know that by referring to Mami as our "oujo" you're basically calling her our "princess", right?
Kirika's been using "ojou" which is a formal way of saying "young lady".
Not that I mind referring to Mami as our oujo/princess, but I figured people should be making an informed decision.

Derp. Well, that's embarrassing. I thought it was the other way around.
Sabrina's totally going to slip on that, isn't she?

I am okay with this. Preferably, we do it in front of Kirika and/or Homura.
Gadjo

The grin on Kirika's face if we do that might break physics, but I guess megucas already do that, so I'm cool with that. Doing it in front of Homura, though?
That would be a little embarrassing in front of our mother.

I thought she was our cousin once removed on our third mother's side.
Cue embarassed stuttering about mispronouncing words.
Also, we might also have an attack that can go through gravityfails' defense:
It doesnt have to be too damaging (at least initially), just enough to debilitate the OpFor for a dozen seconds or so, and it could even out-range Kirika's AM field.
Along those lines. Gravity requires focus to maintain each attack. She was using her hands to deflect our initial grief attack when defending Sasami, and she had to give up her gravity slam when she needed to retrieve her soul gem. Debilitating attacks may be more effective than usual against her.

Yeah, she seems to be their equivalent to an AOE black mage: extremely powerful, so long as no one's trying to kill her specifically. She can even have her spells interrupted.
As long as we're discussing mid-battle grief science...
While going for lasers is probably stupid, I think we could easily imitate an omnidirectional light bomb. To prevent backfire, put some opaque shields between our allies and the grief we're turning into light, then alchemy what we have out there. And as Sasami has repeatedly demonstrated, it's a trick worth having.

Frankly, I was hoping for a brief respite between the battle to see if we can convert grief into energy, specifically laser beams. Just so we can see the look on Ramiel's face when we outlaser her.
That kinda got thrown out the window when we couldn't find a safe place to hide, though.

And if we can't make em, we can still make mirrors, and reflect the lasers back at her

Actually, given the fact that we can change the properties of the grief we use to such an extent, we should totally be able to do that. It'd be pretty damn funny too, if it weren't for the fact that word of GM states that she's not actually firing lasers, IIRC.And if we can't make em, we can still make mirrors, and reflect the lasers back at her

Actually, mirrors are pretty damn disorientating as it is with this sort of thing. If nothing else the lightbombs become a double-edged weapon.

Thank you for reminding me that we need to call Homura "Mom" at some point.
We should do it when we get back and bitch about her super specific warning about Sasami and Moe.
Gadjo
Doka
I can already hear the motherly scolding we'll get when she tells us we shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place.
Let's only bitch at Homura about her warning in jest, please. We don't know what kind of intel she was operating off of. Possibly only 2ndhand, which makes it 3rdhand when told to us.
Here's a thought, assuming grief->light is possible:
We think the enemy is going to continue operating at the edges of our range. If we set up grief marbles out there near the circumference of our control range, then detonate them into light bombs whenever we detect anyone enter. If we catch them and blind them or disrupt their attack, great. If we don't, we at least illuminate them, which is a nice consolation prize.
The only real disadvantage is a halo of marbles might delineate our control range to our enemies, but we're already on a huge honking grief fortress in the middle of it, so we aren't exactly being subtle about our range as is.

Less funny, but more likely to hit them back.
We'd have to get the angle 100% perfect to hit them back with a light beam. Light bomb, maybe not, though.
