This will prove an interesting match indeed for the Pale Rider. Odessa's Wind Rune is just full of nasty tricks, and the woman wielding it is no slouch in any department. In what is perhaps the first really challenging fight of the season, Kresnik is going to have to control the pace of this fight if he wants to win. So the gameplan will be to simply do what he does best, and turn this into a resource war. For all it's many strengths, suikoden's rune magic has one glaring weakness; it's reliance on a very limited number of charges to function. With his deep MP reserves and incredible magical defense, the Pale Rider can outlast her status, weather her attacks, and still refresh himself long after she's exhausted her last spell.
