Let's address these passive curses.
"Anathema: Tharja is constantly cursing her foes, dulling their senses with her mere presence."
Okay, that's nice and all, but how does that stop Insulator from just moving Hyde's body against his will. Insulator is not a living thing with senses and Hyde is neither Alive nor Dead, he's an In-Birth, i.e pretty darn near nonexistent.
"Hex: Tharja's mastery of hexes allows her to dull her opponents reflexes should they attempt to approach her, lowering their ability to dodge."
Once again, dulling Hyde's reflexes on its own does not help much when Insulator takes care of that as long as Hyde is still willing to fight, in which he will. As once again as I stated multiple times, Hyde's body moves on its own due to Insulator and his awakening as an In-Birth.
"It may be a misunderstanding from my side but the fact that you didnt stated how he instantly closed the distance and manages to slash her, without including the fact that she can still move and attack, felt like you implying that shes just standing there and letting herself getting hit, despite her battles being constantly doging and keeping her distance from her enemys. "
Close the distance means that he can catch up to her. Whether she moves or not, he can catch up. She attacks, he dodges. Her passives activate, Insulator moves for him.
"I could nitpick and state that being trained by someone =/= being as good as that person but again, i dont know the series so i refrain from that."
So you ignored the point that he actually defeated said person? Something I stated in my post?
"Hyde is only in advantage if he can hit her the first time, while she has that advantage from the beginning"
And I have explained that it is not exactly the case considering how his body as an In-Birth works and how Insulator will make him move without the need of anything else. As long as his body can move, Hyde will be fine.
"i wanna hear how both have equall ways to hit eachother when one IS obstructed from the battles begin and when one is only obstructed after being hit once."
I will gladly explain again. So Tharja starts with two sense and reflex dulling passives. Insulator causes Hyde to move on his own, despite such a thing. At this point, it depends on what happens after that part. If Hyde gets any one attack in, either ranged or CQC, Tharja's done. If Tharja gets any spell in, Hyde is done for a bit. As once again, he can absorb EXS and energy to heal and repair himself. Tharja can't kill Hyde no matter what she does. Meanwhile, Hyde can still get back up, her only choice being to knock him unconscious, which despite the 3x gap, will be hard to do with Insulator in the way. It's a who get the decisive blow first, and considering the nature of both characters, it is 50/50. Tharja being a ranged fighter is nothing new as she shows no more skill than Hilda, to be blunt. Just zone and shoot, zone and shoot and Hilda's attacks are pretty darn close to Danmaku and to be blunt, are much harder to dodge compared to Tharja's spells due to their nature. And Hyde in his story can beat her all by himself. I should note that simply being in contact with Insulator or simply it's power (EXS power) is enough to cause damage to your existence.
| The Insulator's power is referred as the Eternity Killer, Loop End (µ░©Úüᵫ║ÒÇîÒâ½Òâ╝ÒâùÒé¿Òâ│ÒâëÒÇì), the power to rend apart Existence. This makes it possible to kill In-Births, Voids and even Re-Births, which makes the blade difficult to defend against as any contact with it and its power can threaten its target with guaranteed residual damage. |
Either way, I plan on double checking everything I said here regardless, but this is my last comment on this thread as I am not too comfortable debating the haxier characters of Under Night because the series mechanics are not fleshed out yet.
