Blah blah blah defense. HP, armor, damage reduction, whatever. We've heard this song and dance before. "Defense" didn't help Jade either time he attempted to tangle with the angel of death, and it won't help the trickster god either. Tempest Dance is far too powerful to be slowed in the least by Loki's physical endurance. All of Loki's vaunted defenses doesn't make up for his subpar HP, nor does it begin to cover the speed advantage possessed by Piastol. The bounty hunter attacks and moves like a dive bomber, shrieking and leveling anything in its path. That includes a fool like Loki, who thinks the power of the Dragon Orb or Carnage Anthem will do much deter a multi-time Godlike champion like Piastol.
