Lady Maria hunts one final Nemesis

[Naito-desu]

Spoiler: Prelude

Their plans had been going well, yet there had been a new development, one that had frightened many of them. They knew what to expect from the Church of Seiros, and her newest vessel, yet this one was knew. Tails of a pale woman clad in black, roaming the land, killing many of their agents. She resembled them, yet unfortunate survivors had gone insane, screaming of trails of blood and fire. Their operations nearly failed, yet they managed to achieve one thing. Revive Nemesis. They were utterly convinced that once he came into the picture, their problems would disappear.

On the day of his revival, darkness fell, and a lone figure walked the path towards the god-shattering star and his vast army.

"You were the one who has been slaughtering my men. You claim no affiliation to our enemies, so why do you stand opposed?"

"Your actions reek of sins whose guilt I bore, like me, only punishment will set them right. An honest death will soothe the pain you've caused."

• Both are High 6-C, Nemesis is in his Resurrected key
• Speeds are equalized
• Standard equipment is given

"An honest death will cure you now...":
“All who stand in my way, will be destroyed!”:

How does nemesis' power null and probability manip work?

 

[Naito-desu]

His Power Null "negates" an attack each turn supposedly, I'm not sure how that translates in proper combat so I suppose he has the opportunity to negate some hits from Lady Maria. Keen Intuition grants him a better chance of evasion against ranged attacks, and Heartseeker decreases chances of evasion from his opponent.

Technically that power null requires the 10 Elites being present, which I don't think is standard? Could be wrong but I doubt it, especially since they don't have profiles (11/10 Elites team profile? )

 

[Naito-desu]

The profile seems to indicate at least that only the buff requires the ten elites, the negation is not required.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Check at about 25:58

You can see in the video that one Elite is remaining when they attack Nemesis and then shortly after when they rewind, kill the remaining Elite, and then attack Nemesis for the first time again

 

[Naito-desu]

Ah alright, so Nemesis essentially doesn't have applicable Power Nullification in this battle then.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

He does have the Crest of Flames, which prevents counterattacks (occasionally)

So what exactly can nemesis to to stop maria from just shredding him?

 

[Naito-desu]

Wielding his sword grants him Avoid and Dodge bonuses so I think he could avoid her attacks, not to mention Renewal should be able to heal him and prop him up throughout the fight.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

I mean, fighting opponents who dodge a lot is nothing new to Maria, and she has her own means of healing through Rally

 

[Naito-desu]

Well, he's also got some good evasion bonuses, and hefty Damage Reduction as well, and his skills reduce the effectiveness of Maria's own evasive skills though Quickening probably cancels that out.

Hmm...I do wonder if Maria's empowered attacks would counteract that, once she starts using blood weapons her attacks start having a follow up, so if she slashes with her sword, a second slash of blood and fire will follow behind it after a slight delay

 

[Naito-desu]

Well, the way I see it, Maria probably edges out in her mobility and offense, Nemesis has defense. Though I feel like Maria's stronger offense output would eventually deal more damage to fell Nemesis than what Nemesis can do against her evasion skills and Quickening. That's just my opinion though
