Season 43, Week 3
Loki
(Valkyrie Profile)
 
The Trickster God disposed of that pesky Genevieve pretty fast, and, against this upstart division shifter Arc, things will be even swifter. Carrying the power of the Dragon Orb and possessing his own very limitless spell-casting might, Loki holds all the advantages he needs here. Arc, in spite of what you'd expect, is hardly a tank, and he isn't that great at handling magical assaults, either. He is also a bit on the sluggish side, so Loki will inevitably get the first attack in the fight. A single casting of the brutal Indiscriminate should be more than enough to kill Arc rather dead, which means his pesky Invincible spell won't even come into play to save his poor, precious little feeble life. A heroic fool like this once, experienced as he claims he is, should know better than to challenge a god to a fight, and Loki is more than willing to show Arc why... in a most painful way.

With that shocking win over Luca Blight under his belt, Arc is no longer the laughingstock of Godlike that he once was. His next foe is no less lethal than the mad prince of the Highlands, however. Loki's magical assault is as deadly as any in Godlike, and his defense renders him nearly immune to physical strikes. Arc will have to win this battle like he did his last two fights, and rely on the defensive blessings of Invincible to take out the wielder of the Dragon Orb. Arc's various elemental magics ignore Loki's fearsome physical toughness and instead hit his rather unimpressive magical defenses. Along with MP restoration from the Brave Crest and healing once Invincible runs out, Arc has all the tools needed to take out Loki. This victory would secure his name with true Godlikes - and show the DL universe that he's not just an inferior version of bounty hunter Elc in combat!

What does it mean to be brave?

Does it mean facing your fate without flinching, even if that fate is death for yourself and your beloved? Does it mean standing up in the face of adversity and persevering until the end? Does it mean facing injustice and adamantly drawing the line between right and wrong even as the entire world opposes you? Regenerating MP from a unique equip like the Brave Crest? Or is bravery being roasted, frozen, electrocuted, and hit with a surprisingly powerful cloud of poison before you can so much as draw your sword?

For Arc, it's that last one. Whoever thought cowards never win hasn't met Loki and his Dragon Orb. Boom.
