Season 55, Week 1
Augst Henriksen
(Wild ARMs 4)
 
The Trifler is a master strategist and planner, as can be seen by his high ranking position amongst a group of superpowered freaks. So what type of tactic will he need to bring down master exorcist Zhuzhen Liu? Not much in terms of complexity. While Augst is not known for directly attacking his opponent, he does not need to. His body is capable of absorbing all sorts of elemental attacks, and he's strongly resilient to physical assaults as well. Indeed, with this sort of defenses, Zhuzhen may be more hard pressed trying to find effective openings before biting it to one of Augst's counters - or his limited sanity. And even if he utilizes his healing, there is no effective way for him to keep the madness clock away. Try as he may, Zhuzhen can only delay his inevitable loss. Sometimes the best plans are those that are the most fundamentally simplistic, and Augst will prove so with a victory this week.

It's always fun to watch old people beat stuff up, regardless of what that stuff is or how they beat it up. Zhuzhen Liu, to everyone's surprise, will have his pick of how to win this first match as he sets out in another Light season. Augst Henriksen is a brilliant strategist and wonderful at logistics, but on the battlefield he's... less than stellar. In fact, you could say he probably couldn't even blow down a house of straws if it came to it. With this in mind, Zhuzhen can take his time and make sport of it. Does he want to use his many spells or just give Augst a good old fashioned cane-beating? It's Zhuzhen's choice, as he could probably take a nap and wake up for a spot of tea before Augst's damage kills him. Even then, one healing spell will solve that problem. Hopefully Zhuzhen won't throw his back or hip out celebrating at his victory here, as he'll have quite a few more before he can claim a championship.

"You know." Zhuzhen said conversationally as the monstrous, anchored form of Augst. "There's a cure for body fungus. But I suppose that's neither here nor there right now?" With that, he muttered a few words... and beeped Augst in what passed for his nose with his cane.

A glowing, red light appeared, engulfing the battlefield... and Augst in his human form stood there, dazed. "Wait, you can reverse that without killing me and resurrecting me? Huh."

Zhuzhen smiled. "Of course. I am a master exorcist, after all."

"Oh, that's good. I've been getting flabby - could use the exercise." Augst noted dryly, causing Zhuzhen to start laughing. Augst's eyes widened. "-And- you laugh at my jokes? This could be the start of a great friendship..."

Augst Henriksen: 8
Zhuzhen Liu: 25
