Season 48, Week 3
Dycedarg Beoulve
(Final Fantasy Tactics)
 
Pop quiz time! What good is a swordsman without a sword? How about a solider, even a really skilled one, without any weapons at all? Not at all, says the simple conclusion of basic logic. Unfortunately for one Mr. Claude Kenni, Dycedarg is also more then capable of grasping this very simple concept, and will be very quick to leave the futuristic hero without a weapon to fight with. After Hellcry Punch destroys Claude's weapon, along with any chance he may have had at winning, Dycedarg will not be slow in finishing the young man off. While he prefers not to do his own dirty work, the eldest Beoulve brother is nothing if not efficient when he must.

A foul demon host? Exactly the type of enemy that the Warrior of Light is used to facing. Of course, without his ability to transform into Lucavi, plain old Dycedarg might a bit of a letdown. But as the space-age boyscout, Claude will still come prepared. The anti-matter protection on his Sacred Tear should at least let that weapon, if not his others, immune the effects of Weapon Break, and his excellent defense and Guts should slow down Dycedarg’s damage. And of course, like most FFT bosses, Mr. Beoulve is hardly the most durable of sorts, making him prime bait to take out with just a few elegant, if monotonously simple, swipes of Claude’s sword.

Okay, this match revolves around Dycedarg breaking Claude's sword, right? Claude's sword which was dug up from some monster-infested mine and specially made? And that's so powerful it causes even other people's weapons to break some kind of super-science barrier that the Wisemen use? And that, the Sacred Tear, is Claude's backup weapon to the Eternal Sphere?

Shouldn't we be asking if if isn't Dycedarg's equipment that should be getting broken here?

Stick with the poison, Dycedarg. (That or the demonic transformation. That would work too.)

Dycedarg Beoulve: 11
