Pokemon Umbral Theatre 4: Dedicated to Cosplaying Pokemon Trainers Part 2

[Dracorion]

Lexhur's Devil Drift costs 100 RP, man.

Though you raise a concern: AB, can Psytellites drain Lexhur's Rage?

[Menarker]

Also, can Irene, Melanie and their pokemons be able to attack Impact and Matthias with psychic types moves from where they are? Or is the distance and the wall of enemies too much for them to help out that way?

^^; and I'm tired. Slept in until 3PM. Had a bad couple of days. ^^;

EDIT:

And a weird thought occurred to me...

I was imagining the results of this happening to Lexhur...

MOTHERFUCKER SUPLEXED A TRAIN.

(It was a glitch of sort. They forgot to apply the boss tag to the train, hence why it was possible in the first place...)

[Dracorion]

Let's face it, with AB it's definitely very likely to happen.

I imagine Dinner could be responsible.

[Menarker]

Aye. That would seem to be the likely circumstance.

Prompted by AB asking about whether we liked his BGM, I remembered that we briefly had short discussion on that. I even suggested songs that I would use here.

Mind you, that was quite a way back. =P Lots of things changed since then I guess.

[Geminex]

I don't think Lexhur should become a comic relief character. He is too civilized for that.

I think the new Loyalty is allright. It can be half of Liz' uber.

And yeah, I'm thinking that the main group can survive for one more turn, before we gradually start retreating and switching out for Enforcers. Impact will almost certainly be dead after next turn, Matt's gonna be vulnerable, and I dunno how many leaders you all have left.

I agree with what's been said so far. We don't have much rage for techniques, so freeing Matt and Impact, killing the betas and a few 'lites should be sufficient. Maybe have Renny do a prosperous gifts, but it probably isn't necessary, yet. Irene and Melanie are still doing ok, I think, maybe they could throw in a technique or two.
That's all for now, gotta go. I'll do some more analysis later.

[Bard The 5th LW]

So Impact and Matt are possessed right?

Charlotte calls dibs on beating the hell out of one of them.

edit: Lexhur should totally become comic relief.

[Dracorion]

Welp, it's decided.

Charlotte is beating the hell out of Impact.

What's that you say? She doesn't have any psychic attacks? Who cares?

I think the new Loyalty is allright. It can be half of Liz' uber.

What's the other half?

Irene is NOT ok when you consider that she is both paralyzed AND confused. Doesn't help that her partner Melanie is not only suffering a -2 to Defense, but is at less than half health.


But yeah... let us see...

Tyranistorm does 50% damage to all foes.

Future Shock is in effect, although I don't know how much damage the Fire Spin effect of it will do per turn...

Two of the Betas are close to being knocked out. (Low enough that they will both die in two turns)

Super Fang on the Golem would do immense damage. (475%!)

We can feasibly eject one of the Psyshades from combat with Lexhur. The one with the most health presumably.

We got psychic moves available to shake Matthias and Impact out of it. Or barring that, we can have Charlotte knock out Impact with a Trainer Attack and revive him after. Are we still using the Vengeful Rage rule where Slayers revived upon being knocked out get 50 rage?

Anyhow, I'm waiting for AB to answer some of the questions I posed earlier...

- Weapon Four: Electric Net ~ Light Electric damage, three targets, 70% Paralysis, Bound for two turns.
- Weapon Five: Particle Cannon ~ Extreme Almighty damage, five targets. This giant son of a bitch cannon puts Lexhur's Laser to shame.

- Armor Two: Force Field ~ Reflects 25% of Physical damage back to the attacker.
- Armor Three: Self-Repair System ~ Recover 20% max HP every turn.

Weight: Lil' help here AB? I imagine her speed wouldn't take much of a hit. The heaviest part is that giant fucking cannon, and she already put some points in speed.

Overdrive: Power of Science ~ All allies recieve 25% less damage from all elemental types for two turns.



You know, I kinda get the feeling I overdid it with this one.

Well, I blame the lateness of the hour.

[Menarker]

If I recall correctly, using Overdrive normally would end your ability to use the RDPA, hence why I included the bit where it wouldn't do that for my RDPA as my last Slayer level-up.
