To start thing off, thanks to The Knight's Inorganic Physiology WHITE and PALE damage are both unusable here, which leaves Binah with RED and BLACK damage., also Binah's Fairy probably won't be that helpful here due to The Knight's High-Mid Regeneration.

 

[Topaz404]

I’ll respond when I wake up, but oh boy-
(Also just an FYI, CM Type 2 should be fine considering it’s the basis of her Singularity based attacks (like Hulks CM Type 1 for example))

But yeah. I’ll respond when I can.
(Edit to clarify that I’m using the Librarian key for Binah as well)

 

[Topaz404]

Alright im back, and this first argument is going to cover Abno Pages, and what combination of them all as the fight progresses will be most helpful. Sure, Binah cant get emotion from the Knight, but can gain it herself with clashing (im choosing to not ignore this game mechanic for this).

To start, Small Flutters and Big Eyes. Small Flutters makes her better at dodging The Knight's attacks, empowering her through each successful evasion, and Big Eyes enchants an opponent to prioritize her when attacking (and she takes some extra punishment if it does connect), but it also gives her more power to override the Knight's attacks, and healing when she does so

With Tier 2 pages, it becomes a little tricky. The only one that i see would help her would be Punishment, empowering her attacks in the immediate time of being hurt (now sure, this doesnt seem to make sense with Small Flutters, but we dodge tanking here bois)

Finally, Tier 3. Can only have one of these, but Peace would be her best option. I mean, it weakens The Knight (as they are marked as the "Intruder"), along with making them easier to kill

And this isnt even going over her Singularity based attacks or what happens when she summons Apoc Bird

The thing is though, it says in the Regeneration page that High-Mid Regen has "The ability to regenerate from being blown/cut to pieces, brain included, or from a small piece of the user's body, such as a finger, or the heart" so unless Binah's damage can go higher than that then she probably won't be able to do much. With that said, it's also possible that The Knight's Regeneration won't be usable here since they're in The Library.

 

[Topaz404]

The Library would make it so that Immortality wont matter, but since Immo of all kind is restricted anyways....that wouldnt make much of a difference anyways.
Anyways

Binah can boost herself with various Passives and Abno Pages, the Abno Pages i disclosed before. Im not gonna go over all the Passives, because this would turn into an essay and i dont think you wanna read all that. Its on her page.

Anyways
It doesnt seem like Fairy is going to do much, considering exploding the Knight's body wont seem to work, but Binah still has Lock and Chain, with Lock, she can
Lock away the Knight's abilities
Lock it in a area of space and win via BFR (if that would even count as BFR)

But if the Singularity shenanigans dont work, then she may as well bust out the EGO. While not directly knowing what the Knight would be, she would have some idea (she's been working with Abnormalities for effectively millions of years thanks to the fact she remembers everything going on in L Corp) of how to deal with it

Just as a question, what does Knight have in Lord of Shades form?

I don't know about BFR but I think that would probably count as incapacitation, with that said though The Knight also has Dimensional Travel so it can probably escape the Spatial Lock. Chain and Ability Lock on the other hand will probably work just fine

I think it's safe to say that the Lord of Shades would keep everything except the Charm related abilities.

 

[Topaz404]

Hm. I think that both wouldnt really be able to put each other down too quickly, with Knight's regen and Binah's overall boosts, experience, and the fact she can also reduce the Knight's stats as well

What i think would sell it for Binah is that the Knight has no response to Apoc Bird. Apoc Bird could incap it with Paralysis Inducement, which Binah also has with various passives (fun), as well as Binah being able to consistently Chain the Knight to prevent it from moving while she figures out a way to put the Knight down, either with raw boosts or via incap

Yeah pretty much

Paralysis Inducement seems to be tied to PALE damage so I don't think that will work on The Knight.
I was going to say that The Knight won't have any problem dodging Apocalypse Bird's attacks, but I realized that Binah can just Chain The Knight to keep it from dodging so it will have to tank the attack, and it would probably be NLF to say that the Knight could phase through the Chains using Shade Cloak since they're Conceptual Manipulation(i.e. a power that as far as we know doesn't exist in the verse).

 

[Topaz404]

Yeah, I’d say Binah wins by incap but let’s see what other people have to say

Also
Binah has Para Inducement outside of colored damage types. Twilight (the Abno Page) also does it, along with Bzzz bzzz

Gonna bump this, need votes, thank you

Alright! Today is the last day for Rounds 9 and 10, and i am also posting 11 and 12 today. Get them votes in

Anyways, i think Binah wins. She has more options and counters to the Knight's attacks and resistances, along with generally having more combat experience.
She can also summon Apoc Bird, even if it doesnt do much, it would serve as a great distraction for Binah to spam her Singularity attacks

I don't really have anything left to say for The Knight, so unless someone has any arguments left to make I'd say Binah takes this.

Tournament is under new management, but it seems like Binah might be moving on regardless. Thank you for your time
