Season 47, Week 4
Beowulf Kadmus
(Final Fantasy Tactics)
 
How droll? Anastasia thinks she can go up against Middle’s master of status, Beowulf, and manage to emerge victorious. Children these days have such high hopes, it seems. After all, Beowulf only needs to block either Stone or Paralysis to slow the Russian princess’ status game down greatly, and with his variety of accessories, Beowulf can block either. Unfortunately for Ana, Beowulf’s own contigent of status covers nearly every spell and all of them have excellent accuracy. And should she try to use Euthanasia on him, Life Drain will wreck that strategy. Indeed, Beowulf's march to the finals will hardly be stopped by a puny girl and her camera!

Having slain yet another foul demon from the depths of hell, Anastasia now turns her attentions to the Temple Knight, Beowulf. Much like Anastasia herself, Beowulf specializes in status, with a handful of other tricks to keep opponents from being complacent. Unlike Anastasia, however, Beowulf's status is likely to miss in the first attempt. While Euthanasia's status is somewhat random, even the least favorable outcome of Silence and Poison throws a wrench in Beowulf's strategy, and Anastasia should be able to get the jump on the armored mage-knight. Not a very interesting win, perhaps, but winning is the important thing here!

Achoo! Achoo! Sneezed Beowulf. Upon hearing she’d be facing the status pimp Beowulf for this round Ana arrived at the arena packed with as many status blocking accessories that she could think of. However nobody told her that in the meantime Beowulf had been feeling rather under the weather and thus started the match packed with the flu.
“Eww gross!” the young mage exclaimed “I’m not fighting that!”
Afraid of getting too close to Beo in case she caught the flu Anastasia produced a white flag from somewhere and waved it as she sauntered off. Somehow she managed to pull this off with as much dignity as possible. She is a royal after all.
Shortly afterwards though she lost all dignity as she passed out snoring on a random DL bench (she didn't think anyone was looking!) SH status blockers might help with some illnesses but they can’t help with the fatigue of flu. Somehow Beowulf’s sleep strategy ended up working after all just in case Ana changed her mind about fighting the match. She slumbered well past the match time limit anyway and Beowulf was declared the unanimous winner upon which he promptly collapsed himself. It’d taken every ounce of will power to start the match despite his illness but oh it had been worth it. Especially the look of horror on Anastasia’s face.
Don’t worry though as usual the DL hospital will have both fighters ready for their next matches. Bwhahaha!

Gee, I wonder who's better equipped for a duel?
