The Bracket:
Valyria ( @Vardrus ) vs Anima ( @SacredAnima )
Portis ( @ChaosStar ) vs Allzaff ( @BorosPaladin )
Elerre ( @WickedShadow196 ) vs Janna ( @pakashara )
These matchups were chosen by Random.org.
I will post the winners on Wednesday, so you have the next 3 days to convince me why your character won. (Because I probably can't figure it out alone. Please help)
Portis is a god fighter, and although he isn't very bright, that doesn't mean he can't fight. He much prefers to go into a fight without a plan. His extremely strong teeth can chew through metal, so bone won't be that big of a problem. In addition, his small frame and agility will allow him to easily dodge attacks.
Allzaff also requires dead to create skeletons, so unless the fight is in a graveyard, he would not be able to make any minions. I believe in a 1-on-1 fight, Portis would be victorious.
I tried my best, looking at the weaknesses and strengths...so yeah.
Meanwhile while Portis is distracted Allzaff will try to learn as much as possible in order to develop a counter strategy. If possible he will go for a sneak attack with his staff, he can also use his magic to reshape his staff in order to form weapons ore to get past a parry. And if Portis tries to eat it well... Allzaff is quite skilled with using broken bones to patch up new skeletons so Portis should expect a mouthful of bone shards that will try to choke him. Or to be stabbed in the back by a skeleton he thought he destroyed.
Finally Allzaff is a farm kid so he is physically fit and knows how to deal with rodents, if Portis acts like a rat he might just be done for.
P.S. Allzaff's magic lets him shape dead bones to his will to a certain degree he can do more than create skeletons but that was all the necromancer made him do. He could also fling bone shards, make blades, create blinding dust and more stuff like that, though it will exhaust him and he does not know his own limits.
In my opinion Portis wins if he rushes him and goes for the throat so to speak but the more he drags the fight out and the more he is delayed the more things shift in Allzaff's favor. If left long enough Allzaff might even pull out all the bones in a kilometer and overwhelm Portis with a horde of skeletons.
This fight is interesting however as both characters main strengths can not be exploited seeing as Portis cant destroy Allzaff's ever repairing staff and Allzaff can't swarm his enemy with numbers. So the character who relies the most on his shtick so to speak in this fight is the one who will have the greatest advantage.
That's my opinion please keep in mind that it is probably biased!
@Ranshi922 Yeah, kind of. It started out as a direct copy of the Tournament of Legends challenge, but as we had less people, it turned into kind of a role-playish thing where you told why your character would win.
I would highly recommend reading the original thread, as it was thrilling and jonteman hit an absolute home run with it.
