I'm surprised you consider yourself such, what with your having the audacity to side with that filthy Nohrian traitor." 6 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: "Oh, have you not heard the news? By Royal Decree of the Supreme Ultimate Ruler of Significance number 23, 'One Michele is formally and permanently disowned from the royal family of Hoshido.' See right here?" (He pulls out a small picture frame) "...Did you really frame it?" "YES. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME." This is exactly what I expected from Betrayal. Framing his hatred of Corrin like a degree is not you average hatred after all. 6 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: "What!?! That Nohrian scum!? Oh, now way is he having the spot of 'middle child second-oldest brother in Michele's large, mixed-up family' all to himself! Just you wait; I'll be the best older brother you'll ever have!"

Well, I do now. Pre-Battle: Spoiler Before we start the next battle, some forging is in order! We make a +1 Steel Lance for Oboro... ...a +1 Killer Lance, also for Oboro... ...and a +1 Iron Katana, Killing Edge, Nohrian Blade, and Dual Katana, all for Hinata. (If you get the Shout-Out in the last one, you are the reference king/queen) ...I also rename Rinkah's old +2 Iron Axe. Now, time to set off! "It appears to be a pillar of smoke, milady." "Really? How do you know it's him?" "This isn't a traditional ninja signal; it's part of a subsystem we devised ourselves. This one means that he intends to engage a large group of opponents." "He's calling for help? We need to head in that direction immediately!" "Well, not quite, lady Michele." "That's...incredibly situational." "You'd be surprised how much it comes in handy." "Kaze, tell me: how many times have seen this signal and not ignored the warning?" "Once...wait, no, that time, he was signaling to tell me to stay away because the fight was too easy." "That's what I thought. Everyone, ready for battle!" Here's our team for the battle, A.K.A. everybody who isn't discharged/a bonus unit.

KnightOfNohr Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Spoiler @DayniSorry, let me rephrase that: a playable ninja will die. Battle (Part 1) Spoiler As usual, Mozu starts us off by effortlessly killing an enemy. Next, Michele kills this Archer with urgency. I've learnt my lesson from Chapter 9! Takumi does what he does best: kills Ninjas! Well, technically, it's what he does third-best. Looking like a pineapple is what he does second-best, and hating Nohr is what he does best. Hayato and Hinata both fail at their jobs: Hinata doesn't crit, and Hayato straight-up misses. Mozu is attacked by no less than three Ninja, and still takes no damage. That pesky Samurai attacks his attacker, who thankfully hits this time. Mozu takes, but also deals, a significant amount of damage. An Oni Savage attacks Hinata, misses, and is promptly crit. Saizo and Reina steal our kills. Get on our side so you aren't wasting EXP! "We saw your smoke signal and wanted to help!" "Hmph...I'd question why you came when it said not to, but Kaze never heeds my warnings. The question is why would one such as you would take that risk." "Well, that's easy to answer." "We need everyone we can get to be able to defeat Anankos, including you. Are you willing to join us?" "...I have my doubts about the truth of this story of curses and...Walla-but my brother trusts you, and you were ready and willing to come to my aid...for that, I will assist you." "Thank you, Saizo." Takumi kills another Ninja.... ...and Reina baits out the Ninja and Samurai. Hmm, this looks like trouble. Still, it's Takumi! He can handle- ... "Ahhck! My arm!" "Takumi! Run south; get to the portal! Kaze and I will cover you!" "Ugh...I don't see the point, but...OK..." (Takumi escapes) Reina's Ninja-baiting is successful. Mozu utterly destroys a Ninja. Not much else to say. Hayato ducks out of the range of another Ninja. Sazio weakbuffs (that's a word I made up so I don't have to write "weakens and debuffs" every time) a Samurai, while Reina kills the Ninja next to him. Hinata moves into the range of the injured Samurai. Hey, did anybody here forget I brought Oboro along? Well, not anymore. Two Hoshidans are attacked by a Ninja, except one takes it like a champ, while the other takes it like a wimp. Ohhh dear. Luckily, this is the last attack of the enemy phase. Mozu just barely fails to escape the Archer's range, so Sakura heals her up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightOfNohr Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Battle (Part 2): Spoiler Oboro hitches a ride on Orochi, in order to regroup with the main team. Saizo and Hinata both a kill... ...and Reina baits the Diviner. The Archer is dealt with, getting Mozu a level. Nice! Reina kills the Diviner with a +1 Setsuna's Bow she grabbed from the convoy. Jakob kills this Samurai and braces himself for the Master Ninja. Saizo does as well. Sakura gets a healing level, gaining her second point of Magic! In six levels! ...with a 70% Magic growth. Saizo does some decent damage on the Master Ninja... OH TRICERATOPS HE'S IN THE RANGE OF TWO OF THEM!!! "Ugh..." "No! Saizo!" "Lady Michele...I hope... you complete...your mission...I'm sorry...I couldn't...be there for it..." "No...it's too soon, it's my fault; I should have noticed how far these people could move..." "Thank my brother for me...for everything he's done...that I've taken for granted..." "...Goodbye, Saizo. I promise, Kotaro will pay for this." "..." "..." You all thought Kaze was going to die, didn't you? More Breaking News: Mozu Still Amazing! Hinata weakens one Master Ninja... ...while Reina kills another. Michele picks off one of the Master Ninja, gaining a level that, all things considered, is pretty good. She also takes significant damage from another. Thank goodness for Sakura, right?" Reina and Michele, pulling off what might be the most perfect set of almost-50% hit rate hit/misses I've ever seen, leaves him at a mere 2 HP... ...for Hinata to pick off. At least, he would have, had he not missed. Protosaur. Mozu gets the kill instead. Oboro's still here! Hayato's still there. He fares pretty nicely against this Ninja, too. Michele defeats this Archer before he becomes a problem. Reina weakbuffs Kotaro... ..for Oboro to take after her fellow retainer and miss the pick-off attack. "What? Who are you? Why is a farm girl standing in the way of my ambitions?" "Those aren't the questions you should be asking, Kotaro. Those would be: 'Was killing Saizo IV a mistake?', 'Was telling my personal guard to kill the red-haired Ninja a good idea?', and 'Have I breathed my last?'" "The correct answers are: Yes. No. Definitely." "...Feel any better?" "Yes, actually. Thanks." Just to rub it in. Now, we just have some clean-up. You're already off to a way better start than Hana. Good level! Plus, only six levels to promotion! This guy's pretty tough... BUT NOT TOUGHER THAN MOZU! That you are, Mozu. That you are. Also, goodies.

He didn't. Were you not paying attention? It may have been ambiguous, but he told Takumi that his not joining Michele would lead to a chain of events that would culminate with his death. Probably. He also said that, when/if he did die, he would haunt Takumi for not joining Michele when Naga told him to tell him to. 2. It's supposed to keep the secret entrance to the Cave of Ninja Death secret, but all it really does is draw more attention to it. @Dayni It's too late; I've already given him statboosters. Of course, even if he turns out "meh" in the end, he'll still play a vital role in making Hinoka the best unit. Post-Battle: Spoiler "Lady Michele,c I think you'll want to see this." (She walks up) "A secret entrance? Do you think she could be down here?" "It's a strong possibility. We best investigate just to be sure." (They enter it, and soon see some Ninja. They draw their weapons, but the Mokushujin raise their arms) "Stop! We're not against you!" "I can attest to that." "Kagero! Are you unharmed?" "Well, I am now, thanks to these Mokushujin rebels." "We're part of an underground resistance that seeks to defeat Kotaro and instate his nephew, Haruka, as ruler....of course, you already did the first part of our job for us." "We figured Kagero might be able to help us, so we released her during the battle, under the condition that she help us get Hoshidan military support. That's not really needed now, however, so you can go free." "Thank you, Kamui. Anyway, I was captured while returning to Shirisagi Castle to give the...'Supreme Ultimate Ruler of Significance' a message from Ryoma." "Well, I'm happy to tell you that Takumi has conceded that title, and is now traveling with us." "Thank the Dawn Dragon. Regardless, I see no harm in passing along that message to you: Lord Ryoma is traveling to Cheve, the site of a revolt against Nohr, in hopes of befriending the rebels and gaining safe passage into it." "Hmm...this is troubling. We need to unite the royals of both Hoshido and Nohr, in order to match up to Walla's forces, and we have to do it before either one of them falls to the other." "...What's 'Walla?'" "It's the substitute for the name of the country whose ruler is engineering the war, since anyone who says it will dissolve. Long story, I'll tell you later." "All right...do you know where Saizo is? I was hoping we could meet up with him, convince him to join your cause; if there's anyone he'll listen, it's me." "..." "He..." "...Ah...when?" "Just now. He was trying to save you." "...Well...in the name of his memory and his honor, I will join you, and fight to the best of my abilities." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Takumi; how's your arm?" "Better, thanks to Jakob." "All I did was set the bone and heal it to the point where it no longer 'hurt to exist,' as he described it. I'm just glad I got there before that pegasus rider fiddled it to a point beyond repair. Thank goodness Lilith was able to slow the flow of time in here after Takumi came in." "It should take about a month to heal, so I probably won't be able to fight again until after you finish this mission of yours...still, this method is incredible!" "Is bone-setting uncommon in Hoshido?" "More like nonexistent. If a Hoshidan broke a limb, they were lucky to survive a cripple. And here I thought nothing good could come out of Nohr..." "Of course, I'd not be surprised if your country also had advances that ours doesn't...like an abundance of written works." "Really? You don't have many books?" "Well, it does get rather extenuating to painstakingly copy out every word by hand..." "Ah, that explains it; over in Hoshido, we have blocks with letters on them, and machines to dip them into ink and press them on paper..." "Heh, the world is definitely going to be a better place once this war is over...for more reasons than one." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* (Meanwhile, in the Krakenburg throne room...) (Xander walks in) "Father? You summoned me?" "Ah, yes. Iago tells me he has matters of dire importance to discuss with us." "Welcome, Prince Xander. I didn't want to start without your presence..." "Please explain, Iago." "Of course, my liege. I have recently discovered the stain of treason amongst us...and at the highest levels of Nohrian military and politics, as well!" "Get on with it, if you please." "*chuckles* Bring in the prisoner!" (Two Generals drag in a chained-up Leo, looking fiercely defiant. Xander appears shocked, while Garon shows no emotion.) "Not only did Prince Leo steal away the life of my...dear former apprentice, Zola, but he also listened to the lies of that traitor, Michele, and gave his assurance that he was on her side!" "Xander, listen to me! Michele was-" (Iago twirls a Rod, and Leo finds himself unable to speak) "Hrm...how did you come about this information?" "I have spies and accomplices in many places...all serving to help me follow your orders in the best way I can. Returning to the subject at hand...as all here know full well, the punishment for treason is death...shall I make a date for the execution?" "Yes. The sooner, the better." "Wait, father!" "Hmm?" "Please, father...are you really willing to send one of your children to the gallows?" "All enemies of the state are the same to me, Prince. In fact, now that I think about it...Leo's betrayal means that the loyalties of you and that sister of yours are being called into question..." "Father, please be reasonable; we've served you loyally for years-" "And so has Leo, but did that stop him? Now, Iago has informed me that the Hoshidan king, Ryoma, plans to assist the rebellion in Cheve, and he likely plans to march through Nestra to get there...your mission is the march to Nestra and face the approaching army." "But...Nestra is a neutral nation! Fighting there-" "Oh, are you questioning your king? That doesn't sound like loyalty to me..." "Silence, snake! (You know better than anyone else I would rather face death than betray my core principles!)" "(Perhaps you could take your death with dignity...but could you face hers?)" "!!!" "(...No. You wouldn't...)" "(Would you really like to find out?)" "...Fine. I will fight the Hoshidans at Nestra, cruel as it may be." "Good. Iago, take Leo to the castle dungeons, then bring Camilla to me." (Iago bows) "Of course, sire." (He leaves the room and pulls out a sending stone) "Roland, Edsel, lock Leo up. I have business to attend to." (The Generals salute and head off. Iago starts speaking into his sending stone) "Daniela, can here me?" "Of course, sir. What are my orders?" "I want you to keep an eye on Elise. If I give the order, or if she tries to escape...well, I expect you know what to do." "It would be my pleasure, Master...heheheh..."

Should I be apologizing? @DayniI chose Daniela because I needed a villainous Mauve Shirt for Iago, and she seemed like the best choice. Also, fun fact: none of the story bosses in Revelation are captureable. Then again, Orochi and Niles are both really bad, so it's probably for the best. Spoiler (Hinoka is sitting on the throne in Shirisagi Castle) "Hey...Hinoka. What's wrong?" "Hey, Setsuna. I'm just...really worried." "Huh? About...what?" "Just...everything. Nohrian forces are constantly advancing, Takumi and Sakura are still missing, and Ryoma's on the front lines, leaving me in charge. Plus, the number of war protests are growing daily, and the economy's not doing so great, either. I'm overwhelmed with stress." "So...why don't you do something?" "Do something?! What am I supposed to do?" "Well, Takumi was last seen leaving for Izumo for a diplomatic meeting. Maybe you could start there." "Of course! Why did I not think of that? Thanks, Setsuna!" "Wait, you're leaving? Who's in charge?" "You're in charge!" "...Nice." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Michele, you l-look so sleepy!" "I always look sleepy." "N-no, you look much sleepier than normal. You have g-giant purple bags under your eyes!" "Really? Huh...I guess I haven't napped in a while..." (Michele goes up on deck) (The ocean sudden freezes over) "Unless...no...it couldn't..." "Hello, Michele..." "I've missed you so much! You're not...here to fight, are you?" "I'm sorry, Michele. I have strict orders from father...who knows what the consequences for me and Xander will be if I refuse to fight you..." "Is...Flora here, to?" "Sadly, Jakob, I am." "Don't tell me this is because of Garon's threats, as well!" "I'm sorry...everyone, battle positions!" "The same for us!" So, I actually had to try this map thrice. The first two times were basically the same thing, all the way up to culminating with Michele dying to an Outlaw. (I discharged Orochi and Kaze.) At that moment, I realized that I needed to stop fighting at three-quarters strength, to stop holding back! BREAK OUT THE STATBOOSTERS! @DayniTurns out I was wrong when I said I invested statboosterS into Hinata. The only one I gave him was a Seraph Robe... ...but I did give him an HP and Rainbow Tonic! Dark Mages were big issues to Michele on the first two runs, so she gets a Tailsman. She also gets a Speedwing, due to my frustration of her failing to double anything. Jakob follow-up attacks more than you, and he's in a less speedy class, and at a lower level! I think... Oboro gets a Secret Book, since she has the lowest Skill out of anyone in the army... ...and an Energy Drop, so she can kill more stuff. Hayato gets a Spirit Dust, since only he and Sakura use Magic, and because he can get more use out of an extra two points of Magic. He and Kagero also get Dracoshields, so they can die marginally less. She also gets a Goddess Icon, since her Luck is lower than Michele's. Michele's. Anyway, that's not all the statboosters: I still have an Energy Drop, a Spirit Dust, two Dragon Herbs, and three Boots for which suggestions on who to give them to are welcome. In case you're wondering about the whereabouts of my other units, Jakob and Oboro are on the top-right boat, while Reina and Kagero are on the middle-left.

KnightOfNohr Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Battle (Part 1): Spoiler To start off the battle, Hayato attacks and kills this Fighter. Jakob, over on the other boat, baits out one Dark Mage... ...and Mozu baits another. One more Dark Mage is defeated by Reina, before our turn ends and the enemy's begins. Some damage is taken, but nothing we can't handle. Mozu, on the other hand, is basically just invincible. Hinata baits Beruka, and Mozu prepares to Dual Strike. I'm not sure what's happening in this photo. My memory's a bit blurry. More baiting on this end... Oop, significant damage from the Mage... Luckily, the one Fighter in range isn't that strong. Beruka is easily taken care of. Now, time to deal with the Mages, Fighter, and Berserker that boarded our ship! OK, Michele, Sakura, and Hinata are safe from the Berserker. As for our other units, Oboro takes out the Dark Mage on her boat... ...while Kagero baits out Selena. Good time to Dual Guard, Reina! Some nice Dual Guard timing from Jakob, as well! That's Hayato dodging, by the way. He makes it hard to tell. I move up Mozu so as to give Hinata the Berserker kill, and a level, too. @DayniSee? He's coming along nicely! Some more Strength would be nice, but we do have that Energy Drop... Hayato tries to kill this Outlaw, but misses the second shot. Michele cleans up after him. On the top boat, Oboro takes out this last Fighter... ...while Kagero defeats Selena. That Tailsman's already paying off! Ooh, this looks bad... Thank goodness for Dual Guard, am I right? No, because if she missed, she would have died. I'm not taking those sorts of risks anymore. Hey, she got a level out of it! ...Look! The two most important stats for a ranged fighter! Hinata takes out that pesky Dark Mage... ...while a less pesky one launches an attack, guarded by Kagero The Dragon Veins finally show up, so the first order of business is to get Jakob and Oboro back in the main group. The previously mentioned not-so-pesky Mage is defeated by Reina. After several turns of movement, Hinata baits these two Fighters. They are soon dealt with, getting Hinata another level. Once again, a very good level! #HinataIsBestNonRyomaSamurai Don't worry, Oboro and Kagero have Dual weapons. Now, the only question is: "Who will the Berserker attack?" A) Hinata B) Oboro C) Kagero D) Nobody E) All of the above. The correct answer is C) Kagero, despite her being the only one that can counterattack the Hand Axe! Sakura gets a healing level. I...I just...why. Kagero utilizes Dual Guard to weakbuff the Berserker without being damaged. Oboro whittles him down some more, getting an amazing level. I was going to give the kill to Kagero... ...but then I realized that Michele could gain some actually significant EXP from killing him. Oh, and some reinforcements show up. Oboro kills one. Michele defeats the Beserker, and... YES! Jagen-Lord is no more! The Outlaw is effortlessly defeated by #BestNonRyomaSamurai. No, I do not intend to keep him as a Samurai. If you want to know, I'll promote him into Swordmaster, get him Astra, and then switch to Blacksmith, with a brief dip into Oni Cheiftan for Death Blow later on. These guys also show up. Kagero deals with them. Bleh. Oh well, Speed. Now, we just have a long, hard slog to the top-right boat... I'll see you next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightOfNohr Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Battle (Part 2): Spoiler OK, we're back. To start this next update, Kagero baits this Dark Mage... ...while Oboro does the same to these Fighters that suddenly showed up. Both of them are quite successful. Michele flies up out of nowhere and kills this Fighter. Kagero and Oboro both follow up their baiting... Hayato attacks this Outlaw and, thankfully, doesn't miss. She's doing pretty well for herself down there. Yup...pretty well. Sakura gains another healing level. Yay, Magic! As you may be able to see from the last photo, Reina is standing on the edge of Camilla's range...with a bow equipped. The results are as expected. Mozu baits out that Dark Mage. Once again, the results are as expected. Once again, results are as expected, you know the shabang. Hayato gets a level. Defensive...I like it. Let me explain what's going on. Since these enemies are promoted, defeating them will grant Michele ample experience. With that in mind, I had Reina try and whittle them down for her. Unfortunately, she managed to brave the odds on this particular round of combat. Not bad...not bad at all...except for the fact that had she not gotten this level, it would have meant that Michele got one instead. There! That's a good HP level! ...Deinonychus, she's relapsed into her Jagening habit. This Fighter is taken out by Hayato, and he gains a minuscule amount of experience. This Sorcerer is whittled down significantly. I'm not sure why I didn't give Michele this particular kill, but regardless, Kagero got it and a level. Minimalistic, but valuable! Hayato severely weakens this Berserker... ...for Oboro to take the kill. She also takes quite some damage from this nearby Sorcerer. Luckily, Kagero is there to weakbuff... ...for Michele to kill. After some heals from Sakura, Oboro is ready to tank this last Sorcerer! ...dodgetanking is still tanking. Kagero grabs the kill, and another level, too. ... Look! Skill! Hinata baits the Berserker, taking some damage, and realizing that his Max HP is only 6 less than this guy's. Kagero weakbuffs... ...for Michele to defeat. Speed. Speed is nice. Sakura gains a similar level. Jakob baits out and one-shots the boat's Outlaw. Now, only Flora's left! Jakob starts us off... ...Why is this the only route that Flora doesn't have special dialogue with Jakob? Oh, well. He gets a level out of it. Luna, too! I remove Live to Serve for it, because...well, you can figure it out. Anyway, Kagero safely weakbuffs her... ...for Michele to pick off. No level, sadly.

I'm well aware, but you need to take into account that in seven levels, she's gained 5 points of Strength (35% growth), but only 2 of Magic (70% growth with Shrine Maiden boost). She really wants to be a Priestess. Post-Battle: Spoiler "You lost on purpose." "Well, I wouldn't go that far..." "No, you definitely lost on purpose. You know better than to attack a bow user at range." "...all right. I admit it." "I can't say I blame you. I'd have trouble engaging in combat with you...we're family, after all." "Heh. That we are." "Would you be willing to listen to what we've uncovered?" "I'll be happy to." "You see, this war was started by a literal underground effort: it's being engineered by the ruler of a third, secret country, which can be accessed from the Bottomless Canyon." "Really? What's the name of this country?" "I can't say it out loud; I'll dissolve. I did, however, write it down here." (Michele hands a scrap of paper to Camilla) "We'll call it 'Walla' in discussion." "How did...Walla's ruler spark the war." "Well, he manipulated father somehow, and likely caused the famine in order to make the war justified." "Hmm...he has been drastically different since mother died, years ago. I remember it all too well..." "Did anything else significant happen that year? My memory is hazy." "Not much...there was your regrettable banishment to the Northern Fortess, of course, and I also first learned to ride a wyvern that year...oh, and Iago joined the royal...court..." "...No...it can't be..." "I shouldn't be surprised...but I still am." "If Iago is working for Anankos, he could have tricks up his sleeve that we don't know about. We need to be careful." "O-oh no...th-this is so scary! Hold me, Azura!" "I'm actually intangible, so I can't really...also, you're hugging in the wrong direction." "Sakura, Azura's intangible." "O-oh...s-sorry, I'm just...afraid of what he could do to you, or somebody else I love." "Well, that's very nice, Lady Sakura, but I don't think Azura is the practical target of your affections at this point. Why don't you...go hug Hayato, or something?" "G-good idea, Jakob." "Excuse me...who's Azura?" "Oh, she's the blue-haired woman that fought with me and died at the border. She's a ghost now." "...ah." "Anyway, let's get straight to the point: Camilla, are you coming with us?" "Of course. I'll do everything within my power to see that this 'Anankos' is defeated." "You two, I assume you'll be following my sister?" "You bet we are!" "It is our job, after all." "I completely respect that decision." "Also, would you mind unfreezing the ocean?" "Well, I can make it melt faster, but I can't thaw it all at once. If I do, I'm liable to catch on fire." "...How does that work?" "I'm really not sure. Something about how the heat transfers." "...Anyway...we best be getting to the portal." "...You have a portal?" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* While I was still figuring out what the best way to upload these images was, I did quite a few Castle Battles, and gained quite a few levels from them, too. Mozu is awesome as always. Yes! She got Magic! Great! Her Skill and Strength are coming along very nicely. Haha! Who's the Jagen, now? (The correct answer is Gunter, by the way) That is not how you Mozu, Mozu. You're doing good! Too bad bad I'm eventually replacing you with Hisame. You could use some more Skill, and a little more Defense/Resistance, but overall, you're amazing! ... You know, I think I'd prefer if she just got a bunch of pretty good levels, instead of alternating between "amazing" and "mediocre." I can't wait for her to promote. Mozu.png ... Hey, it's not every day you see a Samurai this bulky. Now, for some non-level stuff... Michele, having hit the level cap, promotes. Look at those stats! ...then look at that luck. You make a compelling case for the last Goddess Icon, my friend. Since Mozu reached C-Rank Shurikens, she gets a Steel one and the +1 Iron one she had been using helps improve Saizo's Memory. (Yes, I know this is one Mt higher than Steel; Kagero is in more need of a buff right now) DEATH COUNTER -------------------- Resets: 4 Deaths: Azura Subaki* Gunter* Hana Rinkah Takumi** Saizo Orochi* Kaze* *Discharged **Retreated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Gods, Michele must be the new Yamcha or something. 4 deaths already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
