The latter two are only if she has the sceptre of the ancients. That's optional equipment which she doesn't have here.
She gets all her standard equipment in that key. So armored clothes made by Ghastly, her Necromancer Ring and the Concussion stick.
She usually starts with air manip. She consistently uses it more as an opening move then fire manip from what i remember. So she'd click and fling Cassie into a nearby wall or something to start off with.
But does she go for suffocation as quickly or...? If so, I honestly can't see Cassandra doing much unless the distance is insanely huge
No she wouldn't go to suffocate, she'd just fling Cassandra (calling her cassie from now on) around. Suffocation has hardly (if ever) happened in Skullduggery so it's unlikely that she would, flinging however happens countless times.
If Valk realises this, she'll stick to her inconspicuous abilities such as necromancy, which is thought based or just stick to regular magic which i doubt Cassie would catch on to instantly
Valk's clothing should protect from most of the impact from explosives and forgive me if im misremembering he clothing also protects her from knives aswell.
How would she realize it? Cassandra doesn’t go around telling people she does that.
By the fact she's a seasoned fighter and realises her opponent is predicting her movements?
Okay? She’s fought seasoned fighters and they still don’t know.
Okay? That's probably due to the fighters not having another primary form of attack that is completely thought based??
No, you’re arguing on assumptions when you say probably. Prove she would be able to notice it, especially since Cassandra hardly talks, much less in battle.
When someone jumps to the side a moment before I launch my attack several times, I would notice that they are predicting my attacks. And I'm not a seasoned fighter.
Its not an assumption its common sense. If you are familiar and use two types of fighting and realise your elemental abilities aren't working you'll obviously switch to an ability that wouldn't enable you to be countered as easily. It's. That. Simple.
Does she start with a weapon or H2H? Because that’s the scenario I’m envisioning, and why I say she wouldn’t notice.
it's dependent on the matchup she faces, but she usually doesn't just straight run up to the enemy and throw hands, well atleast not pre surge Valk.... So it's a safe bet she'll start with flinging her opponent backwards with air manip, skullduggery style.
described as "interlocking" the air but its as easy as just a click of her fingers, same with fire aswell. A click of her fingers and a fireball emerges. As for her necromancy its thoughtbased and her power comes from her ring which holds the shadows.
how is she going to dodge Valk's necromancy. That's extremely fluid, has large range and aoe and is thought based, meaning its basically impossible to predict via Valk's movements whilst their speed is equalised....
how does this heart stopping stuff work? Because Valk resists most of her stuff with her magical clothing. Also how is she going to get close to Valk with a shit ton of cc abilities and equalised speed.....
Why are you asking a question to something I never asked?
oooh mb i thought you meant she could dodge both that's completely my fault, as for combatting shadows with fire and explosion she could, although Valk being described as a candidate for the Death Bringer and trained by Wreath himself is a very proficent user. So can Claire just spam fire and explosions? Although i've never seen this used as a counter and ill have to reread parts of Death Bringer to give you a conclusive answer it could be a possibility.
This is all just reading body movement, to predict the thoughts people just started thinking, nothing here shows her as having a way to read thoughts the way she'd need to, to counter necromancy.....
Every single person moves. From their chest rising and falling, to them blinking, etc. Cassandra picks up on all of that, and knows what you’re going to do.
