Can a half-breed like a Valkyrie take down a true lord of the skies like Tibarn? Of course not. Without the disadvantage of having to spend time in human form, like most of his fellow Laguz, Tibarn is a force to be reckoned with in NR, and Gwen will find, as many have before her, that he can dominate any fight without breaking a sweat. His high stats and lack of any real exploitable weaknesses will serve him well in this battle. Gwen won't be able to keep up in a battle of the skies, as Tibarn can avoid anything she tries to do and counter quickly and efficently. Of course, she does have Overload and Shadow Ally....not that she'll live long enough to get much use out of them if Tibarn presses his assault, which he will. As long as Gwen is kept stunlocked and on the defensive, Tibarn will win, and you can bet that he'll know exactly how to handle his only contestant for a coveted title in NR Heavy.
