Hello
I saw your skill thread and had a few question. Would categories like Tactics/Strategies or Teamwork fit under skill ?

- By Tactics/Strategies, I mean the ability of a character to make use of everything they have in order to take down a foe that can be far stronger than themselves. I'm surely explaining it badly but as for an example let's consider video game characters. During boss fights, they often are the underdogs and it is common that they are straight up outmatched and can't win in a direct fight. A notable example of this would be a character using their environment to take the advantage (EX: Making the boss attack an instable part of the boss room to make it collapse on it and damage it that way) a good example of this would be the first boss fight of TLoZ Wind Waker. An other would be using everything you can find/see to gain the advantage like using the water at your foe's feet and a nearby electric cable to electrocute them or taking down a water tank to extinguish the enemies flames. An other would be coming up with creative strategies to compensate your weaknesses (ex: Denji damaging his own brain to shield himself against the falling devil's mental attack he was vulnerable to). One last example would be varying your approach toward a fight to fit who you are facing (hit and run, stalling, sneak attack, etc). There is surely way more than those but those were the main point that came to my mind.
- By Teamwork, I mean the ability of characters to work together to achieve something, obviously and it is more niche than before but it's not something everyone naturally have. In a team fight, a weaker team can beat up a stronger team by having a better coordination, a deeper understanding of their partner's powers and how they can interact with their own. (ex: the lyoko warriors from Code Lyoko can beat enemies in far superior numbers by working together even though they can have trouble 1v1 those same foes normally.)
