Camus vs Hawkeye (Both)
« on: March 28, 2009, 02:14:54 AM »
Louise and Pent's friend faces a tall task this week. Hawkeye is certainly solid both in build and mind, possessing very solid RES and enough power to easily match Camus if he foolisly tries melee combat. The Rage Rune that Camus possesses is a problem, as is Hawkeye's speed- Camus is certainly scoring doubles here. What can Hawkeye do to match blades then? A Hand Axe lets him get the range to match the scorching rune, and his backround as guardian of the desert means that a little heat won't bother him at all. Hawkeye is a berserker after all- one critical hit from him after he closes in and Camus will be down for good.


Fighting Fire Emblem is a tricky thing. If you're getting doubled, it's a scary thing. Two blows landing to every one of yours. It's not shocking that the best FE fighters are almost all very quick. Hawkeye lacks this, giving up doubles to Camus and his Rage Rune.  Not even the mightiest mage can hope to withstand two of Camus's spells per round, let alone an Axeman with average magical resist. All Hawkeye can do is... uh... hit him with an axe, which Camus has a fair chance of parrying. Yeah. That's scary. So scary that Camus will be driven to tears at the challenge in front of him. That or driven to laughter, it's about the same in this horrendous slaughter of a fight.

Louise and Pent's friend faces a tall task this week. Hawkeye is certainly solid in both body and mind, possessing both solid RES and enough STR to easily match Camus if he foolishly tries melee combat. However, the Rage Rune that Camus possesses is a problem, as is Hawkeye's lack of speed. What can Hawkeye do to match blades against the combination warrior and mage then? A Hand Axe lets him get the range to match the scorching rune, and his backround as guardian of the desert means that a little heat won't bother him at all. Hawkeye is a berserker after all; one critical hit from him after he closes in and Camus will be down for good.

Fighting Fire Emblem is a tricky thing. If you're getting doubled, it's a scary thing. Two blows landing to every one of yours. It's not shocking that the best FE fighters are almost all very quick. Hawkeye, however, isn’t that fast. Considering the raw power of the Rage Rune, not even the most resilient mage can withstand two of Camus's spells per round, let alone an Axeman with average magical resist. All Hawkeye can do in return is hit him with an axe, which Camus has a fair chance of parrying. Real scary. So scary that Camus will be driven to tears at the challenge in front of him. That, or driven to laughter. It's about the same in this horrendous slaughter.
