While Maya's greatest asset is useless against the gunslinging priest, the plucky reporter is far from down and out in a physical duel. Owing to Billy's slow startup speed, Maya will be able to utilize Maihime Amano's Dance of Protection before the priest gets off his first shot, which will shut down his ability to quickly double with his haste and catch Maya unprotected, giving her a few chances to slip in a shot of instant death with Hama. Unlike most, Maya's vast SP pools allow her to heal and fight just as long as Billy, and while he expends fewer resources to attack, he must additionally maintain his Goddess Call to remain fast enough to place pressure on Maya. Once Billy's haste has exhausted his resources, Maya can easily dispatch him with any number of spells at leisure, shoving Maya into her second Heavy Finals.
