Season 50, Week 3
Eliwood
(Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword)
 
Its not uncommon to see FIre Emblem characters go against each other in the DL at this day and age. Sure, Eliwood's not in the same game as his opponent, but it doesn't change the fact that they run off the same mechanics. Which means Eliwood's trusted lance will be his weapon of option here over his usual Swordplay, for the sake of weapon triangle advantage. With that little boon, Eliwood can gain the upper hand in this fight, especially with the option of Javelins which can be used to attack from a distance and avoid the crucial counterattack, something his opponent cannot work around.

Is he serious? A renowned pansy like Eliwood wants to pick a fight with Colm? Well, it seems the little lord that could has a spine, but that's not going to be near enough to save him here. Eliwood's a decent fighter, but he's a knight. Good at hurting things he can hit, not so good at hitting a moving target, or at avoiding being hit himself. With his vastly superior speed and surprising strength, Colm is going to cut his lordship down so fast that he won't even know what hit him. And let's not even talk about Eliwood's chances of actually landing a strike should he get the chance to attack.

No matter how Eliwood worked it out in his head, he was at a disadvantage.

Colm was faster.

Colm was faster.

Colm....was faster.

There was no way around this advantage.

At least, not without thinking outside of the box.

Eliwood's charge would be a thing of legend.

Screaming at the top of his lungs, he leveled Durandal in an unbelievable arc, taking up a massive swath of the arena as he charged towards a stunned Colm.

There are ways of brute, brutal force that can overcome even the fastest speed.

Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. As Eliwood charged, Colm calmly moved to one side and ducked slightly.

Admitably, this would not have been enough alone, to win a match, but Eliwood forgot something.

He didn't really have brute, brutal force that can overcome even the fastest speed.

As he learned when he attempted to wrestle his horse to a stop without dropping Durandal.

The net result ended with him face-first in an arena wall, one of his arms crushed by Durandal's weight.

The moral of this story is simple.

Eliwood had a strategist for a reason.

Eliwood: 25
Colm: 37
