Season 3, Week 1
Tengaar
(Suikoden Series)
 
A powerhouse Light if ever there was one, Tengaar of the Warrior's Village is a duelling terror with her Earth Rune. Her Earthquake is one of the only attacks capable of breaking 1000 damage in her home game, and she has physical immunity and one-shot magical immunity from her Revenger Earth and Canopy Defence, respectively. Still, she'll have her work cut out for her if she wants to defeat Ronfar this week... possibly the most work she'd have facing anyone in this entire Light field! She'll have to watch her spell charges, since she only has two castings of Earthquake, and, if nothing else, Ronfar's healing allows him to stall a battle for a long time, if not end it. Still, if Tengaar can force the ex-Priest from Larpa onto the defensive with her respectable physical attacks and superior speed, she should eventually either run him out of MP, or get him into a position where one devastating Earthquake will be fatal. Either way, Tengaar should expect to win only after a long, if one-sided, fight.

He's a ladies man, a gambler, but most importantly for Hiro and company, a priest. Being a Lunar cleric, though, means he's good at healing, and that's it. He doesn't even have the speed that Jessica has, nor the physical power. He's got lots of healing to fall back on, at least, and Shining Litany is a draining attack at least, even if it is weak. While his strategy is basically heal, attack, heal, attack, it is a good strategy to use in Light, and should see him through a good many matches.

Ronfar, being a gentleman, decided to seek out his opponent the night before the match. "It's what Leo would want me to do," Ronfa said to Hiro before leaving. "Besides, Tengaar's supposed to be one hot babe, and while nothing is sexier than a girl trying to kill me, meeting her in a time of peace might be more... rewarding."

"I assume you're going for the 'make love, not war' approach?" asked Hiro.

"Me? Never! You know I've settled down for good, with Mauri."

"Sure," said Hiro. "Just behave, or I'll tell Ruby there's fish inside your skill again." Ronfar winced at the memory of the last time Hiro had done that, bid his friend good day, and made off towards the Suikoden quarters.

Ronfar knocked on Tengaar's door. "Come in," came a voice.

"Don't mind if I do, little lady," chuckled Ronfar to himself, opening the door, and starting. "Oh... it's you, Hix. Um... is Tengaar here?"

"She's out. She'll be back soon, though," said Hix. "You can stay here and wait, if you like."

"Sounds good," said Ronfar, coming in and sitting down. Then he had an idea. "Say, Hix... want to play a game to pass the time? I'm sure you'll have lots of fun."

"I lose AGAIN?" said Hix, as Ronfar pocketed another 200 potch. "Why can't I ever seem to call a pair of dice?"

"Don't sweat it. It's just bad luck," smiled Ronfar. "Come on, give me another chance to pay you back."

"All right... odds," said Hix. A pair of fours came up on Ronfar's dice.

"Too bad, I really thought you'd win that time. A real shame. Another go?"

"RONFAR!" screamed a voice.

"T- Tengaar! Just the person I was looking for!" said Ronfar, grabbing his dice and backing away from the furious young Warrior girl.

"How dare you, Ronfar! It's bad enough that you cheat ANYONE with those dice of yours, but Hix? That's like taking candy from a baby! Have you no shame?"

"... I don't get it," said Hix.

"Now hold on just a sec, girl! I wasn't cheating your boyfriend really... actually, I was planning on having you cheat your boyfriend, if you catch my drift- I said the wrong thing, didn't I?" Ronfar's face paled.

"Talk to the hand!" yelled Tengaar, raising her right hand. A brown rune glowed.

One Earthquake later, and Ronfar was so far gone that he was unable to show up for the next day's match.

Tengaar: 11
Ronfar: 3
