DL Team Battles V
~ThePiggyman)

The title of "Knight" is certainly one to be proud of. Whether you use it for good or bad matters not, for in the Duelling League, prowess, technique and the ability to battle is what really counts. So, while we're on the subject, what say we put two different units of knights and see which fares better? Just to make them want to rip each other's throats even more so, we're going to pit the four of the most righteous knights in the league against four of the most notoriously underhanded.

On the side of good, we have the proud knights of the Zexen Republic. That's right, these four have served under the great general that is Chris Lightfellow. Please allow me to introduce to you Borus, Percival, Leo and Roland! Now here's a team that's got the whole package. Borus and Leo are there for the physical damage, while Percival and Roland are in back using magic and sniping, respectively. No evil knights can match these four...right?

---

On the side of bad, we have the evil that is the Temple Knight, representing the Church of St. Ajora. Although certainly not as humble and respectful as their Zexen counterparts, these guys are certainly ready for some serious ass-kicking. Let me introduce to you Vormav, Wiegraf, Rofel and Balk! They might lack magic, but these guys have got more than enough to take down those Zexen scumbags. With the physical strength these four offer, any do-gooder will have a hard time taking them down.


So, who will reign supreme this time? The side of good, or that of bad?
  • Zexen Knights (Borus, Percival, Leo, Roland)
  • Temple Knights (Vormav, Wiegraf, Rofel, Balk)

EQUIPMENT REQUEST #404492:
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
BACKGROUND:
The Zexen knights are paragons of good...mostly. They have fought for the Fire Bringer. They've served under Chris Lightfellow, one of the great generals of the age, and certainly are no slouches themselves.

Borus, the Swordsmen of Rage, has an unmatched sword arm, and wields a Sword of Rage rune. Leo...has a freaking huge axe, and is quite the manly man. Percival may be regarded as a mage by others, but those people are the ones who forget he too is quite the physical fighter. And Roland is an elf, and therefore is automatically good with bows and arrows. Come on, elves are always good at that...or something.

The Temple Knights are one of the most powerful organizations known in Ivalice. Servants of the Church of Glabados, they are some of the most well-armed and well-known guardians of the land. Their elite are even stronger. Especially those involved in the Lucavi plot.

Vormav and Wiegraf are imbued with the powers of the Zodiac demons. Rofel is quite possibly an Ultima demon himself. And Balk has come back from the dead, an abomination with no soul, but a good gun arm.

---

It takes entire armies to take down Zodiac demons and Ultima demons. It takes a lapse in concentration for the Zexen knights to die.

--

Needless to say, the Temple Knights won.

TL;DR:
Based on the above background, Jdgs. Tir McDohl and Cidolfas Orlandu would like to request windshield wipers be added to the windows in the Judging Booth. Quote: "Blood is not transparent."

Zexen Knights: 15
Temple Knights: 42

Uh...does Rofel actually need any help to win that fight? Okay, I suppose he'd lose a 4 on 1, but him plus any of the others would likely take a 4 on 2 here. Really the worst of his team is a step above the best of the Zexen knights. This isn't a match, it's a slaughter the likes of which would make Luca Blight cringe.
