I did mention that Darian and Penelope had superior teamwork, but the illusion Semblance can even fuck up the greatest of teamwork when combined with a man who knows the streets who's also a capable strategist, and an incredibly tanky fighter. (Let's not argue about that fight here, plese) In my and Spy's defense, I never thought people would vote for Azzie by such a large margin.

And finally, Cards found the time to read and comment. Since my semester has already started, don't expect any huge, eloquent commentary.

I'm really not entirely sure what to think about Liath's Semblance. If you remember the RWBY/JNPR initiation from the actual show, Weiss supercharges Ruby's cliff-running, bird-decapitating attack with a long line of glyphs. I can't find any screencaps, but I think there was about a dozen, maybe 18 at most. And right afterwards, she is slumped over a little and breathing heavily. Apparently, that many glyphs really takes it out of a dame.

And Liath can drop twenty without any fatigue at all? Something here seems funny. But let's move on.

If I understand Ulric's "low Aura, but good at healing" thing, I'm imagining the shields from Borderlands 2. Specifically, one of the shields with really low capacity, but a really fast recharge rate. That's all well and good, but Borderlands shields (and Aura, I assume) need a little bit of time not being shot at to start regenerating. Given Orion's crazy reckless rushdown style of fighting, getting a second to recover sounds a lot harder than it would be normally.

Someone mentioned that Viridis and Ulric could attack someone at the same time without the same fear of friendly fire that Liath and Orion have, but look at Viridis's arrows. All of them except the hookshot arrow sound like area of effect attacks to me. If Viridis tries to fire into melee, there's a pretty good risk that he'll burn, blind, stick, or explode Ulric in the same blast. Not good, since he's already a little squishy.

I'd say this is a somewhat close fight, but I agree that Orion and Liath have the edge, even ignoring their teamwork.
