@zetsuravez pretty sure he was about to call them funnels (as in, Gundam funnels). with kata it'd be something like (fa)(ne)(ru), I think, hence what he said.
@cor3zone
I meant more as it is depicted as a weapon usable by a single person, but fair, that's a mistake on my part.
From a pure design standpoint, if you already have solo aggro as a system, team aggro is just a redundancy, since team aggro as a functionality provides nothing that solo aggro...
@cor3zone
(Is it because the minigun isn't a real weapon?)
I would say that comparison is a false dichotomy, since both 'one guy with minigun' and 'a squad of assault rifles' are 'entities', which are technically single units.
It's a bit like Total War, where (in the old games) you'd have two...
@cor3zone
Are we arguing about aggro again? Also hey man, how's it goin'?
Going by your example of non-individual aggro versus individual targeting:
Consider the possibility where Kamiyu deals a bajillion points of damage, then flies over to Garm who, up until this point, has done literally...
@Kampfarsch
...Yeah, and? If I, as the bad actor, lies about the contract and dangle the sweetest possible deal in front of someone like Myne who probably will *never* get royal access, who's she going to go to? It's her word against mine, and I have more economic pull than she does. Again, Myne...
@Kampfarsch
Sure, she can be the target of a magical contract that allows her royalties from her product, but...I don't see how Myne/Maine is protected from torture before a contract is written.
As a bad actor, I can just lure her into my shop with the promise of making a contract and...
@cor3zone
Well, I mean...in the event that you're up against two masters and one kid with a stick, you *still* knock out the kid with the stick first because he's just the easiest target, and having one source of critical hits around is just a terrible idea.
That said, I get your argument...
@CraniumAmbiguity
On one hand, I want to believe that Amy talking can solve problems, on the other...they live in an environment with serious information monopolization. Amy can talk, but essentially any talking she does detracts from her own value because it's the story of "the girl being...
@cor3zone
As someone who's gotten hit before in a fight (well, "fight"), taking more damage doesn't mean you shift your attention from the person in front of you, for the simple reason that shifting your attention involves getting hit *again* by the person that's already in front of you. It's...
@cor3zone
And Garm would be the most immediate threat. He's highly visible, Large and Imposing, and has a sharp stabby object. He may not be as proficient with that sharp and stabby object as the two ladies, but in any fight where you have the time to slow down and analyze your threats is either...
@CraniumAmbiguity
The problem with Amy is the exact same problem with Tsukumu, which is that there is no action she can take that would clear things up.
In much the same as the MC's actions being cast as 'he's just benefiting from the hard work as others' regardless of what he does, anything...
@Dagashi
Because honestly if the dude's strong enough to kill a demon in one hit he's probably strong enough to kill the rest of the city. Better to just smile and nod and play along.
On one hand, I'm pretty sure trenches are godawful at stopping an army when both sides use sharp pointy bits to kill each other.
...on the other, I'm pretty sure Balud's plan doesn't just stop at trenches, so...
