At first glance, Kasumi would appear to be in a tight spot this week. The Ninas are collectively a very strong group, and the fourth of their number likely the strongest of all, and certainly the most successful. However, Kasumi has several advantages over the Wyndian's past victims. The Toran ninja is in the select group of duellers faster than Nina, allowing her a crucial first strike before the winged princesses buffing game can come into play. Additionally, since her Shrike Rune consumes none of Kasumi's resources, Nina cannot simply wait her out or stall the match. No, Kasumi has the tools she needs to force Nina into a slugging match, and in a battle of damage against damage, durability against durability, Kasumi holds every edge, more than enough to claim victory and garner the acclaim owed one who slew Nina.
