The majestic bird of ice thoroughly smashed its first opponent, but the nihilistic Sync presents a different challenge altogether. The emo-to-the-point-of-dressing-like-a-Hot Topic-reject God General can crush even the durable Articuno swiftly if given time to access his Mystic Artes, so great care must be taken not to give him that opportunity. However, the towering ice bird has just the right resources to do that. Articuno's most immediate chance lies in Agility, allowing it to readily outpace its opponent and reverse the (slight) edge in speed Sync holds. Pressing this critical advantage to defeat the mopey general before he can exploit Akashiec Torment's window of opportunity is the key. That done, Articuno's Blizzards will take care of this threat in a swift and brutal fashion, bringing a victory of nature over the forces of emo. A victory to remember.
