Was that a ''mech?! Did one of the combatants actually just call in an Oum-damn mech suit ''for a tournament?! Oh, she had to ask her how that all worked when this was done! Sadly, Maggie didn't have too much time to geek out about the suit of robotics before the DJ spoke up again. Something about an RPG - wasn't that a type of rocket launcher? - and a DND.

The DJ's words were a little confusing to her at first, having never played enough of an RPG-type game to really get the idea. When it was clarified as 'playing a role', however, the gears of her mind began to turn. She, with her shield, was likely the biggest defence beyond the mech girl, who seemed focused on ranged-- wait, did he mention something about being defended from fire? Shaking herself free from the small daydream she was in, she noticed the giant swordsman raising his blades in a very specific way... That couldn't be good.

She very barely had enough time to raise her shield to save herself from the worst of the attack, but still got knocked away regardless. Landing rather ungracefully on the floor, she forced herself back up with a little stretch as she watched the aura meter deplete. She wasn't in severe danger yet, but it was still a little annoying to be losing this much already. When she glanced back, though, the monster was already gone again. For saying it was a giant, it sure was sneaky; taking a glance around, she finally noticed the flying opponent and the large crosses marking out a definite danger zone. Using the knockback from her shield, she managed to throw herself out of the way as one erupted, this time landing on her feet.

Her 'team-mates' had already begun making a counterattack by the time she recovered, and was about to suggest they take a formation when the axe-fighter had begun shouting orders to each of them and finally suggested that she followed him into an approach. A grin overtook her face as she began running to close the distance.

"You got it, Axe-Face!" she called back. ... Hey, if he was giving her a name like 'Shield Girl', she could at least do it back.

Regardless, she followed his lead, instead running just around the giant's leg instead of skidding between them - there was no way that would work with her shield in the way after all - and took shots at the opposite side to the one the axe-fighter was attacking to try and cover all angles of attack. As weapons clashed, Maggie took her chance to duck behind her shield and reload the Silver Chase with more green ammo just in time to see the other call her over for her attack.

He reeled back and threw the axe as a decoy, forcing the giant to raise its swords in defence, before she rushed in and smashed her shield into the swords with the impact force of the Wind Dust to throw off the guard. Expecting an immediate counter, it came as a surprise to not hear any movement from Berde for a moment before he began running and ''jumped on her shoulders?! ''Barely tensing up in time to not be thrown to the ground by the momentum, she couldn't help but cast a scowl up before realising he wouldn't see it. Instead, she let him continue the assault without her, switching Hero's Aegis into its sword form and unleashing a long string of whirling heavy attacks at the giant's ankles.

It sounded like another teammate was offering a duo attack like her and Berde, but she decided to wait; using too many team attacks with the same knock-the-shield strategy at once would certainly let the giant learn a pattern.
