Orlandu vs Truecalc SCC

~metroid composite

In honour of Ultimaterializer's recent accomplishment where he beat every required battle in FFT from Dorter Trade City onwards using only Calculators with only Calculator abilities learned (so no spells) all under the standard level caps comes the inspiration for this bonus match. While they can beat every battle in FFT, can they beat the best dueller in FFT? On the one hand, Orlandu will be getting double and possibly some triple turns on the slowpokes. Angel Rings are his worst enemy since breaking them doesn't cancel their reraise, however he can OHKO calcs with Hellcry Punch, skipping over Damage Split while damping out their offence, then heal with Night Sword as needed should he survive the initial onslaught. On the other hand, the calcs bring their same old strategy to the table, which is to say stick beats, massive overlevelling, and plenty of resets (within reason; more than 20 resets is extremely unusual. So enough to get through evasion, but not enough to go for critical hits probably). Their only real chance of victory is their first turn, since after that Orlandu cuts down their damage even more and heals himself. Can the calcs pull off a victory once again, or will a clever use of Orlandu's skillset block their win?

RPGDL's Truecalc Update 5A

Orladu

Everyone uses Thief Hat, Wizard Robe, Angel Ring, except for the Aquarius who uses Thief Hat, Black Costume, Magic Gauntlet. Octagon Rods on all.

Right, PBF:

_RT
__T
AT_

R=Ramza (Pisces)
T=Female Taurus
A=Aquarius

The point is that the Aquarius can survive HE so I can make a formation designed to bait Orlandu forward and not worry about him KOing everyone with HE and LS before I can move. Anyway, Orlandu moves to the panel two in front of the Aquarius (to the left on the PBF picture) using Hellcry Punch on the Taurus behind. Dead. He then gets his double turn and has to come deep forward in order to kill another Taurus/Pisces. He opts for the Taurus (dead) at which point everyone gets their turn thanks to Angel Rings and things look like this:

__RT
O__U
_AU_

U=Unarmed Taurus.
O=Orlandu

Allowing me to hit him with everyone like so:

_R__
AOUT
_U__ Ramza goes through the shield for 180. Taurus goes through the shield, through the front evade for a nice 216 damage. Unarmed Taurus attacks *denied*. Well it's not like I needed the 18 damage anyway (on a side note *hugs high brave starting generic*). At this point I poke him from the back with the Aquarius (108) and end the battle.

PWNED!

Orlandu: 6
Calculators: 9
