Koji starts off by charging at Ernest, what does he do in response?

 

[ThisThingisReallyBroken]

0D and starts poking him from there. As well as releasing large gusts of winds that would manip his density. Hollowing his body to something akin to a lead and densing up his own body to amp his strength.

 

[Phoenks]

So em, he either starts with 0-Dimensionality or what again?

 

[Phoenks]

Koji can't hit 0-D beings.

 

[VNova]

Immediately after Ernest goes 0D Koji creates multiple clones to scout the place, as for the gusts of wind that manipulate his density... he has no method of countering that. However, if the attack is magic-based its effectiveness is halved due to his physiology.

 

[VNova]

Koji's best bet is really to wait until Ernest comes out of 0D and fight him head-on. If that does happen, Koji essentially jumps him with all his clones, using his unorthodox way of fighting. If this does happen he is 100% willing to use Hitoshikunai Ichigeki, which takes a fourth of Ernest's AP and Durability adding it onto himself. Also, Koji doesn't just use a Katana, he has a lance, spear, tridents, and threads of string (Uses them like Rui from demon slayer).

Eh I'll wait before I vote

"For Swordsman/Assassins: Will neglect to use any of his magic instead, and simply use his sword mastery, void magic, zero dimensionality, duplication, astral projection, density manipulation, and invisibility to avoid/negate incoming attacks while becoming angrier as the fight progresses. Using traditional styles of combat such as swordplay, marksmanship with cross bows, and martial arts. Eventually flying into a rage and attempt to overwhelm them with strikes and thrashing the environment around to hurt his target, however if challenge proves too great. He will calm down and use more magic based abilities in addition with to standard fighting styles."

Koji is resistant to void magic, as for the duplication Koji should be able to manage as he has taken on multiple goblin armies before having experience with large hoards of people charging at him. As for the invisibility does he conceal his mana? Koji can detect mana and mana-based attacks from afar.

 

[ThisThingisReallyBroken]

Since Koji is rushing at him. He would start with 0D.

However, if the attack is magic-based its effectiveness is halved due to his physiology.

Not magic based. It just warps the world around him to lower density.

Koji is resistant to void magic

Void magic bypasses basic resistances.

Koji creates multiple clones to scout the place, as for the gusts of wind that manipulate his density... he has no method of countering that. However, if the attack is magic-based its effectiveness is halved due to his physiology.

Hmm. If he sense clones through 0D he’ll try to power null,which bypasses resistances.

Fair on that point. Ernest can be overwhelmed and has been beaten by battalions of well armed noble and soldiers pretty badly. However he can detect if it’s magic based and not separate entities. From there he’ll just powernull and spatial strike Koji or use something along the lines.

Let me correct myself, Koji actually does have a method of reflecting the attack, was just unsure if it was in this key. Koji tends to spam the dragon counter, he applies it to himself before charging in. Dragon counter basically nullifies attacks that hit koji and reflect it and the damage it may potentially do to Koji, think of it as an active status effect, and once an attack hits it activates reflecting said attack/damage. As for how good it reflects stuff, it once reflected possession.

 

[Phoenks]

If there is any chance he gets out of 0-D at the wrong time, Koji will soul hax him to death with clones.

But since he starts with it I doubt that will be very likely. Maybe around 3/10 times that'd happen?

Fair on that point. However he’ll likely use powernull to try to stop the source of Dragon counter. It would work regardless if it’s magic based or not.

Ernest also has his own attack reflection via the causality manip. So if he keeps spamming Dragon Counter he’ll likely resort to it.

Unconventional Resistance to Soul Manipulation and Mind Manipulation (The souls of reincarnates are stored in a dimension separate from their physical bodies, untouchable unless the attacker can bypass the barrier between them), Resistance to Power Absorption, Power Modification, and Power Nullification (Skills are inscribed into the soul which resists any outside interference unless the interference is stronger than the soul's defenses.) Bruh when Phoenks buffing the verse saved me.

 

[ThisThingisReallyBroken]

Wait would he make an army of clones? Ernest and most swordsman are limited to like 2-3 at a time. A magic user would be able to make more,but that would have Ernest be willing to use his complete set of magic and throw spells to see what would work.

 

[VNova]

Koji's clones are made from his second soul, as for the amount he can make ~12.

 

[ThisThingisReallyBroken]

OD is thought based. Things that aren’t thought based used signs and have visual impact on the world around them (I.E time manip.)

 

[Phoenks]

Alright so basically.

Ernest goes 0-D to avoid getting his soul blended by 12 different clones with soul hax.

He then starts firing off magic from the 0th dimension.

The thing is Koji halves the effectiveness of magic alongside it's status effects.

Magic (Magic-based attacks do 50% less damage against half-dragons), Status Effects, Poison, and Disease


This would somewhat help against Ernest's status effect magic like sleep and petrification.

 

[ThisThingisReallyBroken]

Fair.

Though Koji doesn't resist spatial cutting. So I'm not sure how that would really work. Especially since his sword has that property.

 

[Phoenks]

How long does Ernest have in the 0th Dimension?

 

[ThisThingisReallyBroken]

How long does Ernest have in the 0th Dimension?

3-4 minutes before pressures start crushing him. However he has his percep manip, so that time will go much slower in his eyes. Allowing him to try everything in his arsenal after seeing Koji's 12 clones.

Petrification nulls resistance, so I'm not sure 50% reduction will help at all.

 

[Phoenks]

alright then I vote Ernest via 0-D and magic spam that negates resistance.

Koji should have a wincon via soul destruction tho

[Phoenks]

One more thing actually. For the magic he uses, are they projectiles? Or what? I need clarification.

Koji can destroy gas with Vorpal Strike , which he's done in character.

 

[VNova]

If they were projectiles he can reflect them with dragon counter, as for how much he can reflect, one attack for each layer, the most he has ever stacked on himself is 20 at once.

 

[ThisThingisReallyBroken]

[VNova]

I vote for Ernest because he ignores resistances, even if I gave Koji the benefit of the doubt Koji wouldn't be able to stall for three minutes. In terms of how Koji fights, he spams a lot, he might use a vorpal cyclone to remove the gas and nullify his spatial cut with dragon counter, but it seems like Ernest does an attack that removes a layer of dragon counter until eventually, he cannot do it anymore. While Koji can reflect all his hax it ain't really enough for three minutes. Dragon counter requires mana, Koji may have a lot of mana but spams a lot more.
