Season 56, Week 1
Grand Master
(Final Fantasy)
 
Grand Master is so confident in his ability to win this match he is saying he'll go into the fight weaponless. Okay, so he always fights without a weapon (if he knows what's good for him); Grand Master never was the sharpest tool in the shed, but then you don't need wits when you've got punch. He does one thing and one thing only: hit hard. And this is the bane of any Final Fantasy Tactics character, all of them having varying degrees of durability woes. Even worse, Wiegraf is unable to assume his zodiac form for this battle, leading to further trouble for him. Furthermore, since Grand Master has no equipment to break, most of Wiegraf's arsenal is worthless to him. Guess who specializes in matches reduced to regular attacks? Grand Master, of course!

On this week's Arena, Wiegraf Folles fights a man very similar to him: a meager commoner trained in the martial arts promoted to a respected position through his efforts who then made a soul-pact with a dem - okay, maybe not that similar. Regardless, the two fight with the same, simple but effective style - hit the other person hard until they fall. However, Wiegraf has two tactical edges in this fight over the Master. First, his shield allows him to take some of the hurt out of Master's barrages. Second, and most important, he can counter Master's attacks, forcing Master to take damage even while dishing it out himself. With that in mind, the result of the slugfest is decided before it even begins - the White Knight will still be standing tall when the fight is over.

Y'see, Wiegraf knows how much Monks suck. As seeing Ramza use Chakra over and over and over is a real downer, he's not inclined to mess around here. Oh no, not at all. Therefore the best strategy is an overwhelming offense - and a handful of Archaic demons jumping Grand Master before the fight starts. It's dirty, but it certainly worked!
