Season 40, Week 1
Fina
(Skies of Arcadia)
 
Determined to the fault, the last of the Silvites has returned to the Arena once again. Though her fall from Heavy is ancient history, Fina should at least be able to make a good accounting of herself in Middle, and Guy Cecil is as good an opponent as any to demonstrate her strength against. While his swordsmanship is deadly, Fina's mastery of Silver Magic and her own techniques will serve her well against his lack of magical skill - and, more importantly, his lack of arcane defense. Lunar Glyph should keep him incapacitated for some time, during which she should be able to call upon the infallible Eternum spell, which will assuredly end the match. It seems a little unsporting to incapacitate someone like that, but sometimes you have to fight just a little dirty to win, be it in life of a pirate or the career of a duelist.

Under any other circumstances, Guy might well be headed for the hills right now. A physical struggle against a young girl of fierce will, a ready smile, and a gentle touch? It's Guy's worst nightmare realized. But unlike most people with a bizarre and crippling phobia, Guy can put his terror aside once the swords are drawn, and fight with all the skill his years of training have built. And while Fina's style is unlike anything Guy has ever seen before, his first battle in the Arena should be simple. While Silver Magic is a deadly force, it takes a great deal of time to wield, and there's nothing guy excels at more than keeping his foes off balance and preventing this sort of built-up attack. Especially with Fina's fraility, Guy should be victorious in no time, after which he can flee his female tormentors with great haste.

Fina has a trump card in this battle: Instant Death. Nothing in the world of Tales of the Abyss can stop it. And it is very lethal to Guy. The problem?

The spell has horribly slow charge time.

And what is Guy known for? Speed. Before Fina can even finish the spell charge, she's likely to have eaten 4 or 5 regular of Guy's standard physical chains. Oh well, at least Guy, being the gentleman that he is, can try and serve her a drink in that snazzy suit after the fight. Assuming his gynophobia isn't kicking in off the battle field.

Fina: 12
Guy Cecil: 30
