Ainz Ooal Gow
Currently in his intelligence: Expert strategist in combat. Always tries to fight with knowledge of his enemy, and doesn't underestimate his opponents. Unless he knows for sure that the enemy is no threat, he will usually start the battle with instant death spells like Grasp Heart.
Okay dokay. That's good and all.
my issue comes in that this "strategist" thingy is treated in some vsthreads (more recently the Lille one, but iirc the Accel one was similar) as in Ainz letting his foe have the first move. Im cool with that. However, in other threads (Madara vs Ainz), the skeleton is supposed to actually fight before getting splattered by Limbo. Then again:
Weakness: He is naturally susceptible to the holy and fire elements, but can negate one of those weaknesses depending on what he is wearing. Because of class restrictions, Ainz normally cannot equip most weapons and armor, but he has two ways to get around this restriction. He takes extra damage from crushing attacks, and The Goal of All Life is Death has a cooldown of exactly 100 hours.
I dont see any mention in his weaknesses that he is willing to let the enemy strike first, which is a major factor when dealing with a vsthread.
In conclusion:
Does Ainz let the enemy strike first? If so, his victory over Madara should be removed and his loss against Lille added. Ando of course it must be added to his weaknesses as it plays a big role in fights and its argued everytime.
Im not leaning towards any side, I just want this to be sorted out.
Please bring arguments and scans if possible. Thank you.
Edit:
Minor addition: why dont we assume Ainz starts with the Despair Auras active? I know he doesnt have them activated normally, but its because he can turn them off and doesnt want to kill people at random as that's inconvenient for him. I dont see any reason to assume he doesnt start with basic abilities like that already activated.
Edit2:
IM NOT LETTING THIS GET OFFTOPIC AGAIN.
Please and Thank you.
