7-A Brackets Round 20

[Dargoo_Faust]

Twentieth round of the 7-A brackets begins! The last round's winner was Ruti, but how will these two winners fare?

Current Standings (A "-1" indicates a fighter was disqualified for whatever reasons)

The contenders for this round are Archer (EMIYA Alter), submitted by Iapitus the Impaler, and Warwick, submitted by Mr. Bambu.

Firefang Warwick is used. Speed is equal, battle takes place in this weird-ass map from Fate/Extra.

EMIYA should scale to 385 Megatons, Warwick should scale to 246 Megatons.

Archer (EMIYA Alter) -

Warwick -

Incon -

hmmm

 

[Mr. Bambu]

arbitrary I'm here post

also I forgot I submitted Warwick coz I know nothing about him but I guess he sorta looks like a Bloodborne lycanthrope so

that's enough for me to root for my doggo

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Okay, big question, EMIYA's power copying work on opponents who dont use weapons...?

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

EMIYA can only copy powers through tracing/projecting weapons, yes.

 

[DragonEmperor23]

Okay, big question, EMIYA's power copying work on opponents who dont use weapons...?

Nope.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Okay because Warwick doesnt have any weapons so nothing to copy

 

[DragonEmperor23]

right

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Its time bois. Alright, so I found a hard counter to Warwick's size and his healing. First off, he has various weapons that prevent Warwick from healing. Warwick's size makes it so that even if EMIYA puts a pocket universe up his ass the sword spawn wouldn't do much anyway. However, Warwick's size also means that the Black Keys are even more effective due to his larger shadows. Basically, EMIYA does his NP, and when that fails, he just sticks a sword in his shadow and incaps. For these reasons, I vote EMIYA

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Not to mention Unlimited Lost Works has worked on stuff the size of a large meteor and would rip Warwick apart from the inside out; although EMIYA Alter wouldn't immediatly use it.

Well, it won't be long before he does. He is bloodlusted by default lol

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Warwick is bloodlusted by default as well and he spams fear hax which prevents the opponent from attacking

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

I guess imma have to side with Fate then. The franchise, not the user (even though Fate'll likely vote EMIYA too). He just has so many advantages.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

'''Derisive Heart of Steel''' makes fear hax useless on him

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@Cal such as?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Lost Works.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Lost Works as a whole would be completely nullified once Warwick uses Infinite Duress

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@Cal As lapitus said Lost Works wouldnt do much due to WW's size

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

"Warwick leaps in the target direction, suppressing the first champion he collides with. Warwick then repeatedly mauls the enemy, dealing magic damage and applying on-hit effects. Infinite Duress heals Warwick for all the damage dealt."

Where's the powernull in that?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@Dargoo It applies a Silence which is the equivalent of power nullification in LoL

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Rule Breaker nulls the magic attack, and healing will be preveneted by his numerous NP that prevent Healing and Regen

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@lapitus Warwick Doesnt use magic

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

" Warwick leaps in the target direction, suppressing the first champion he collides with. Warwick then repeatedly mauls the enemy, dealing magic damage and applying on-hit effects. Infinite Duress heals Warwick for all the damage dealt. "

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Yes its not magic its magic damage, in LoL there is a MASSIVE difference

Normal ass non-magical guns and swords can do magic damage

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

I see. Either way, when the giant mass starts flying at him through the air, he will pin him in the shadow with a few black keys and pin him in place.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

And while he's being hit by Infinite Duress he wouldnt have the ability to use Rule Breaker or any of his NP's as he would be suppressed

 

[RegisNex1232]

I'm not sure using game mechanics are the way to go here.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

@Cal As lapitus said Lost Works wouldnt do much due to WW's size

Actually it's broken apart a meteor very similar to Warwick in size.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

It has? Why did lapitus say it wouldnt help...?

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

They start at a high distance, so EMIYA will have time to pin him before he ever reaches him with infinite duress

 

[WeeklyBattles]

How much can Black Keys hold?

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

It has? Why did lapitus say it wouldnt help...?

Because I haven't done Shinjuku yet, and I guess EMIYA pulled a meteor feat there that I didn't know about

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

What happened to Warwick spamming fearhax, by the way?

Every time he tries howling that's a move wasted on EMIYA while he can just blast it with bullet fire and NPs.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Ah i see

Now about Black Keys, how do they work and how much can they hold?

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

How much can Black Keys hold?

"how much" isn't exactly the issue, but it can pin shadows and spirits. They work conceptually to negate healing.

EMIYA also has a skill that let's him ignore his emotions

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@Dargoo EMIYA is immune to it. The damage reduction WW gets from it would still work so its not a total waste but EMIYA wouldnt be feared by it.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

No, I'm saying Warwick would still try using the skill, and since it's useless that opens him up to an attack from EMIYA.

If he's spamming the skill while it's not working it's a huge waste of time on Warwick's part.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@Dargoo Im...not sure what you mean. Warwick can use it regularly while moving and fighting and does so in character without it hindering his combat ability, and it reduces the damage he takes when he uses it so its far from a useless ability or a waste here.

It would still work on himself it just wouldnt fear hax EMIYA.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Fair, I guess.

Warwick's powernull is with a physical attack, though. EMIYA specializes in projectile attacks and can keep his distance while firing off NPs and bullets. Add in him pinning Warwick in place with a black key + Lost Works and Warwick's dead pretty fast.
