Season 49, Week 1
Jack van Burace
(Wild Arms)
 
Having led the life of a Drifter, Jack knows that a moment’s hesitation can be the difference between victory and defeat. While he might not normally swing his sword at what appears to be a small girl, Jack won’t let anything stop him from success in the arena this time around - and his records back this determination. Luckily, his variety of status attacks, including paralysis and instant death, and his high speed should let him quickly finish off Presea before she can truly start unwinding her painful attacks. If not, the Drifter does have healing and of course, the powerful Trump Card limit, turning Presea’s damaging attacks back against her.

As usual in the DL, present is yet another unorthodox match up of a sword wielding cowboy against a little girl with a large axe! Well, thankfully, the laws of Fire Emblem don't apply to Presea, so there's no Weapon Triangle to worry about in the match. She does however need to watch out for Fast Draws, Jack's specialty. So what kind of options does Presea have? Well, hit Jack REALLY HARD with an Axe... over and over again... until he ideally doesn't get back up again. Yeah, its not exactly the most impressive or well thought out of strategies to use, but it is straightforward and effective, and in the end, that's really all that matters, right?

There are a few rules that remain true within the RPGDL. One of these is the fabled Axe to the Face. When someone has an axe and the enemy has a face, the face of the enemy will usually be struck by said axe, producing a victory. Presea was confident in this rule to remain true against the speedy Jack despite his ever potent Laser Silhouette at the ready.

What she didn't realize though, is that said rule has failed before.

And as soon as the match started, Presea carried out the plan by running up to Jack as he prepared to draw his blade.

"IT'S A TRAP!"

The sudden flash of the blade cutting into her several times; she never saw it coming.

MORAL OF THIS STORY: An axe to the face is a great way to get ahead in life, but it's hard to argue with a trap that was JUST AS PLANNED
