Reply Subj: If they all have a complex, then there will be trouble.

    Liu Xi also has direct combat abilities too. Though she draws from elements around her, she can blast someone with fire, for instance. Faite can't do that - unless something nearby is already on fire and she can make it worse, or she can cause something to catch fire through a series of events first.


What we see in brief at the end of Chapter 26 is what I'm talking about. Spoilers for that here...

We see the heroes team going in agains the mega-powerful Apostate Battle Temple. First there's a probability arsonist incendiary explosion taking down force field generators. There's a Lara EMP-energy overload taking out electronics and automated defence systems. There's Sorceress' spell shredding arcane wardings. There's Liu Xi's elemental assaults literally flooding weapons sytems and pressure blasts blowing them away. And then the close-up attack fighters go in. And all of that keeps anyone from spotting the tech-types heading for remaining command and control systems.

      As we saw briefly at the end of Chapter 25, Lara is back for round two with the Apostate's Crusade Armada - and she had some hefty backup.



    Quote:
    She's going to be proud of herself if she gets to lead an intergalactic armada. That's a first for her.


She does owe them some payback for before. This time she's not unprepared and not the only veteran of the Parody War ready to retaliate.

      Chiaki does get her moment against the Hero Feeders though, in chapter 27 or 28. Lurkers Below that attack by surprise might discover a certain problem.



    Quote:
    The point was that Chiaki considers wasting time until backup arrives to be a viable option, but only if she knows it's coming. If not, her second best method is to try and conserve energy by destroying as many enemies as possible with the least effort. If they close in, though, they're going to find a vicious fighter like they've never seen before.


Again, given the nature of the chapter and the speed that events are being covered in it, there's only a vignette, but there's an important point made there about Chiaki's position.

      It is true that Vinnie is no longer needed.

    Liu Xi warned him this would happen.


In Chapter 28 Vinnie discovers he had a new deployment.
