Season 2, Week 2
Precis Neuman
(Star Ocean: The Second Story)
 
Bang bang attack! Holo-Holograph! Bloody mary! To the average person, that sounds like a by line to a bad porn movie, a bad 3-D projector, and a stiff drink. To the RPGDL world, those names can mean only one thing- A incoming Precis! Wielding some of the most dangerous robot attacks around, Precis's Barrier attack can strike fear into the hearts of the strongest fighter! Precis is many things. Subtle and calm aren't two of those. Expect her to go on the offensive quickly against Valeria, in hopes of dizzying her with a quick assault.

At first glance, the swordswoman from Toran seems to have little in common with her opponent. Yet, once one gets beyond their personalities, the cool-headed general and the excitable teenage inventor employ very similar fighting styles. Both are fast, accurate, punishing physical attackers, with good evade and defence due to Shields. With the two matching up so well, Valeria will have to count on her superior overall stats, particularly in areas such as HP and Strength, as well as the devastating critical hits she is capable of hitting with her Falcon Rune (they do triple damage) in order to secure a victory over the upstart from Linga.


Dark Holy Elf
Against most opponents who match up roughly equally with Valeria (as Precis does), you'd expect that Val would have the edge; she's an experienced general who has lots of field experience from two major wars. She'd predict how the opponent would act, and calculate exactly how to best hit her opponents' weaknesses.

Unfortunately for her, not even the sharpest tactician in the worlds could hope to understand Precis. The hyperactive girl from Linga probably doesn't even know her own strategy, except that it involves her robotic gadgets, lots of extremely fast movement, and, worst of all for Valeria, lots and lots of pain for the opponent.

Precis Neuman: 9
Valeria: 8

What do you look at when you have two characters with devastating attacks that are about equal facing off against each other? You compare stats of course! And, with her being tied for second best of game out of a cast of dozens, while Precis is mediocre out of thirteen, it's advantage and match for Valeria.
