Alex Mercer vs Composite Anna

[Schnee_One]

Sorry UMR, this was always inevitable.

Speed is for obvious reasons Equalized.

Anna: 3

Alex Mercer: 1

 

[Golden_Void]

Alex hits the gas >

 

[Schnee_One]

Can't give a vote based on that XD

 

[Golden_Void]

How does OHK work? Alex isn't alive or dead. Also, what level of regen can hexing rod work against?

He realizes she limits his physical strikes 99 different ways, so he attacks with the intent to infect. Then he hits the gas >

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Lethality more or less works like this

Anna uses an attack when activating Lethality, person gets hit, person's health goes to 0 no matter the damage she was going to deal originally (just speaking in gameplay terms)

Hexing Rod, in gameplay (there needs to be an in-story explanation for these things) reduces max health to half, which also prevents healing past that point

Also, how long will it take for him to realize this?

 

[Theglassman12]

Anna should take this via higher AP, OHK, BFR, numerous ways to reduce his stats, and many skills to save her from certain death.

Wait so as long as lethality can hurt someone it'll kill them?

 

[Theglassman12]

@Hues no it just oneshots them, regardless if they can't get hurt or not.

 

[Schnee_One]

How does it kill if I may ask? Apparently unless said OHKO works on souls or the like regen can cover it

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

In gameplay, it doesn't care if your attack was going to deal damage or not

But to avoid NLF, I'll go with "OHK upon damage", which Anna can definitely do

 

[Theglassman12]

@gargoyle OHK has worked against both living and dead creatures.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Here's what Lethality looks like in gameplay

Also, ignore the Dual Guard, as it is gameplay mechanics

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

@gargoyle OHK has worked against both living and dead creatures.

Said dead creatures are also being possessed at the same time

Yeah seems safe then, Anna fra

 

[Theglassman12]

@JSW I was talking about sacred stones.

 

[First_Witch]

Voting Anna.

Alex aint killing her in CQC and needs to infect her. Anna on the other hand oneshots him with every attack, slows his regen down with hex road, put him down via lethality or worst case bfr him. Anna low diff.

 

[First_Witch]

Wait, how does Alex infect his victims.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

@JSW I was talking about sacred stones.

I mean, Lethality isn't in SS (Unless we consider Silencer = Lethality, which they're basically the same thing, being OHK skills and being learned by the Assassin class, and even working the same way in PoR/RD iirc)

I'd honestly consider them both the same technique under a different name

 

[Golden_Void]

Well it only took him once instance to realize he couldn't kill Heller so easily, so he immediately switched his plans to take him out by any means and making him suffer.

Though looking at the FE wiki, it has a low activation rate (like 25%), even if she gets to land the technique she's in infection range.

Also "In Awakening and Fates, if the user battles an enemy with Dragonskin, the skill is disabled". I also read it negates counter. Counter only reflects non-lethal damage from what I see, and hexing rod has a 50% chance of landing.

It also says warp/teleportation only works on allies, and the outerworld/dragon's gate are places. o.o

I think Alex has a chance via infection. He has ways of avoiding physical attacks with speed equal.

@First

He infects via every form of transmission (Air, touch, contamination, etc)

 

[Theglassman12]

@UMR Anna can just cure the disease with a status effect healing staff.

 

[First_Witch]

Alright, gotcha. I still vote Anna then. I dont know how out of character that would be, but Anna could just spam summons, realise that Alex is doing naughty stuff with them and then goes for sleep and bfr. Considering her main task in the games...

 

[First_Witch]

@glass not sure if that wouldnt be NLF, considering that those Staffes never cured a highly complex and modern virus before.

 

[Huesito88]

I was told Anna wouldn't do summons until later in a fight

 

[Sir_Ovens]

Why you gotta put best girl against a literal virus?

 

[Golden_Void]

What staff does she have that's going to stop her from writhing in pain and being dead within seconds?

 

[Theglassman12]

The restore staff, also she has miracle and other skills to prevent her from dying right off the bat.

 

[Golden_Void]

Pretty sure those only regard physical strikes. How do you lessen the damage of a biological attack? o.o

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

How fast is the virus? (Like, how long until it reaches a target)

 

[Golden_Void]

I'll see if I can find a vid

 

[Golden_Void]

It took him 2 seconds (going by video time) to do this

And then it contaminates everything it touches, gets carried by the wind, etc.

 

[Huesito88]

Doesn't miracle active, on basically almost always on near death?

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

So 2 seconds to fill a room of pretty decent size

Well, the only things I have against that are: Wind Magic, and maybe Sleep Staff getting to Mercer before he diseases

And I don't want to assume that Anna would just know "Hey, maybe the wind can carry it away"

I assume Mercer is going to use it pretty much immediately?

 

[Theglassman12]

@UMR No it includes magical attacks as well.

 

[Golden_Void]

If physical strikes aren't cutting it, then yeah, he'll go to infect. There's this too ovo

@Grass

"Allows the unit to survive with 1 HP when attacked with a fatal strike."

I don't think a virus meets these standards

 

[Theglassman12]

When said virus tries to kill immediately, it does meet the standards.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

I mean

Physical strikes aren't entirely useless here

Just not a good option (Dragonskin, Counter, a bunch of Regenerationn skills, potential healers summoned, potential Replicate also regenerating and healing Anna and using Live to Serve, Teleportation, Flight)

 

[First_Witch]

Let me do a fast self promotion here ovo

Activation rates and hit rates are both gameplay mechanics and are disregarding influence of skills and the units stats (Which, of course, are also gameplay mechanics), with skills such as Rightful God and Quixotic also being in play, the chance of a skill such as Lethality activating is much higher

Also, according to here, this is how the Gate BFR works

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Anna should take this FRA
