Home Lucina (Group 1)'s build, presenting Lucina the Tomb Raider:

https://pastebin.com/u7RkM5ML

Lucina the Tomb Raider
Heroic Female Human
Upkeep: 3/week
Minimum Bid: 65 GP

Lucina the Tomb Raider is as she appears in Fire Emblem Awakening as a Level 20 Great Lord. She is equipped with the Parallel Falchion, Levin Sword, Shock Stick, and Gradivus and has the skills Aether, Pavise, and Rightful King. Lucina is also equipped with the Accipiter Nox, Submachinegun and Dreamstringer from Rise of the Tomb Raider, and is considered to be skilled in their use. She additionally has the skills Triple Shot, Clasically Trained, Dead Eye, Nerves of Steel, Inner Strength, Heart of Stone, all crafting skills except Cluster Bomb Arrows (including Greek Fire) and all appropriate preceding skills from Rise of the Tomb Raider, as well as a large supply of all types of craftable arrows, Hollow-Point Bullets, and Smoke Grenades.

Foreseer (Pre-Battle) - While not from as distant a future as AD 2300, Lucina is all about abusing knowledge of the not too distant future to aid her in CHALLENGING HER FATE. Once every 4 weeks, you may declare this ability if your opponent has not had an ability phase yet this wartime. Your ability phase ends and it immediately becomes your opponent's ability phase. When your opponent is done, you are granted a second ability phase with a time limit of 24 hours - the time you spent on your first ability phase, to a minimum of 12 hours. You may not use abilities you've already used in the first ability phase again in this second ability phase.

UPGRADES:

(New Start of Battle; 15 EXP)

Sex Symbol (Start of Battle) - Times change, generations pass, reboots come and go, but one constant remains: whoever holds the title of Tomb Raider remains a pillar of feminine ability, tenacity, and outstanding looks. Once every four weeks, Lucina can take a few pages from her mother's book. All male mercenaries will find her tremendously attractive regardless of their usual preferences, and will find themselves distracted by her beauty during the fight whenever she's in view. They will not attack her until she attacks them herself or she is the last mercenary standing on her team's side. Female mercenaries will be under no such restrictions, regardless of their personal preferences.

(Ability Upgrade; 10 EXP)

Whenever Foreseer is used, Lucina may provide a warning to her team of a certain non-Trigger rechargeable ability from the enemy team being used. Lucina will send a number, X, along with the choice of ability to the admins. If the ability is used this wartime as the Xth declared ability by the opponent, the ability will fail and go on a 3 week recharge. Non-rechargeable abilities and triggers do not contribute to this tally.

(Character Upgrade; 15 EXP)

Gains the Cluster Bomb Arrows skill, the Military Rifle with all attachments, the Tactical Shotgun with Spreader Choke and Dragonfire Shells, and Shrapnel Grenades and Proximity Mines.

Shine on, you crazy diamond.

OK, so after thinking about this one for a while...

Team Nier.

The way I see it, even with Sion not being a giant (my bad there guys), There's just too many capable people on the other side for this to be that much of a contest. Let's say X-Death dies without doing anything, which I think is reasonable. You have Lilith, Cloud and Subs vs Diablo, Alucard, Wily, Nier, Sion and Airman. Diablo vs Lilith is a nightmare mode matchup for her because he's real hard to shake off and her ability to defend herself from him isn't awesome, and if instead Diablo goes after Cloud, that takes Cloud out of bodyguarding her, leaving Nier, Alucard and Wily free to chase Lilith while Subs has an ultimate duel of ultimate destiny with Cutman and Sion. I don't see the smaller team surviving very long in this situation, which means eventually you get Archer vs a mostly fully healthy team. He's super good, but I don't think he can solo, especially if he's burnt Caladbolg before time on the debuff is up. Just too many dudes who are hard to kite in a location where the spaces to run away to will eventually be exhausted. It's a close, hard-fought battle, but I feel like Team Diablo eventually pulls it off.

MenuWars posted...

It's been a while since I played him. I know that his attack and movement speed are static (aside from the buff he can grant himself, or Youmou's active if you build him AD and can't be used here anyway) I think he just gets a flat AD buff but I could be wrong. The lifesteal he gets is also static in that form, but it's so high anyway near him has to run for their little lives anyway.

No, it's an onhit effect that deals 10% max HP as physical damage (so mitigated by armor). Lifesteal is 100% and includes onhits which yeah, is ridiculous.
---

Shine on, you crazy diamond.

Said passive also makes him do a flat % of an enemy's max HP per hit. I wanna say like 10% of the enemie's max HP per hit on top of whatever damage he'd normally do?

Dark Samus is as she appears in her boss fight in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, although she cannot turn invincible, turn incorporeal or heal off of phazon.

Morrigan is as seen in Dragon Age: Origins and Inquisition (though she has not drank from the Well of Sorrows), with typical endgame equipment and 3 Lyrium Potions. She has mastered the first three spells of the Lightning, Cold, Shapeshifter, Hexes, Enhancement and Anti-Magic spell trees, and Mind Blast.

~VS~

Richter Belmont is as he appears in the Castlevania series, wielding his trademark Vampire Killer whip, 99 hearts, and all of his sub-weapons aside from the clock. He may use item crash attacks, though they will be demanding on his heart supply.

Sonic is as he appears in the Sonic series and Smash 4 (minus game mechanics), in his base form at his canon levels. He does not have any emeralds, Chaos Control, or weird things like that.

Booker DeWitt is as seen throughout BioShock Infinite, with access to all of his fully upgraded weaponry as well as all of his vigors save Possession and Return to Sender.

Potemkin is as he appears in Guilty Gear Xrd, with access to all of his moves except gameplay mechanics (invincibility frames, etc). His instant kill won't necessarily kill everything in one shot.

Grigori is as he appears in Dragon's Dogma, with access to all his moves except possession. A fighter does not have to be an Arisen to deal the final blow to him.

Lightning is as she appears in the endgame of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, with a schemata set-up featuring a balance of her strongest physical, magical and debuffing skills and equipment, and with limited use of Curaga.

Ansem, Seeker of the Darkness is as he appears in his first two phases of the final boss fight in Kingdom Hearts. He may freely summon Xehanort's Guardian and use all of his attacks from both KH1 and Chain of Memories. Riku will not influence him and he may not summon Darkside or any other heartless.

Alucard is as he appears through the second castle of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. He is equipped with the Cross, has access to his best non-broken equipment and relics up to that point, and does not have the Shield Rod or his intro equipment. He has the Mist relic, but no Mist time extension or poison. The only familiar he has with him is the Bat, which summons more bats to help Alucard when he transforms.

He also has his moveset from Super Smash Bros. 4, but without his Final Smash or any gameplay elements such as overshield. He's not connected to any Goddesses, so no Powers or Flight from them.

Mega Man is as seen in Mega Man Series. He has access to his Mega Buster, his Magnet Beam, all of his weapons from the mainline Mega Man series (1-10) aside from the Time Stopper, Flash Stopper, Gravity Hold, Centaur Flash and Astro Crush and his moveset from Marvel vs Capcom 2, but may only use his hypers if he has enough meter and the necessary robots are present. He also has a variety of weapons based on his defeated foes, allowing him to use Soul Steal, as seen in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. He will immediately reanimate to full health at his starting location once if he dies.

Mecha-Chief is a mechanized version of Master Chief at the end of Halo 3, and is accompanied by a replica of his brilliant AI companion Cortana. He possesses resilient SPARTAN-II armor equipped with a rechargeable energy shield, though conventional weapons are capable of bringing it down in the context of this battle. Chief currently has the MJOLNIR Mark VI armor, which is capable of healing moderate injuries over time, numbing pain, providing precise long range vision and tracking, better mobility, and both faster and stronger shields. He is equipped with two non-broken UNSC weapons of his owner's choice (energy sword is okay, Support weapons and Spartan Laser are not), a limited assortment of frag/plasma grenades, and a single item (equipment) of his choice, save for "Invincibility." Mecha-Chief does NOT have the memories of the original, nor the ability to deliver complex plans on his own. Reasoning is based on calculation and logic rather than emotion (in other words, more robotic).

Crono is as he appears in Chrono Trigger (DS), with his best non-broken equipment and all his techs save for Life. Dual/Triple techs with other Crono Trigger characters are allowed.

Cloud Strife is as seen in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, with access to the First Tsurugi and any abilities/skills granted by that equipment. He additionally has access to all magic (green) FF7 materia and his wing from Kingdom Hearts.

No, he couldn't. That's a feat for Medea. Like it's part of her pedigree as caster that she could reinforce Kuzuki, because it's much harder to reinforce (other) people than objects.

Galio is new to me though and I'd research it if it was relevant and I cared enough to. Aurelion Sol is kinda past my time though so makes sense I'd forget him.

You can just look at the default splash art I posted on page 1 really - there's literally a house right beside him to compare him to. It's why my mind defaulted to 'Sion's enormous', because otherwise it doesn't make sense that his rival in the latest lore is a mindbogglingly big stone colossus.

Lopen posted...

Yeah pretty sure the only super big league champions are Malphite and Cho'gath, and they're more house sized than mountain sized, and both can be explained away as looking small in game because Malphite is an earth elemental who can just mass up less earth in game and Cho'gath gets bigger as he eats more and he's just not well fed enough in game.

Nah, nautilus is house sized (and we've seen this in cutscene), Cho is like 'too big' and Malph is like eight stories tall. And then Galio is a colossus too.

(Aurelion Sol is cosmicallybig too. He's the true size outlier)

This isn't the fight topic but literally everything about Sion makes him seem more in-game size than "one random piece of art where he's fucking huge" size

just imo, as a league player and former sion owner

You could've posted this in the topic >_>

Also no, it's not just one piece of art,cit's intra-universe consistency. Sion's ultimate rival is Galio, an enormous gargoyle that is literally monumental in size. What do you think makes more sense, that the evil juggernaut is a tenth of the size of the good guy colossus, or that their size is more or less equal?

KanzarisKelshen posted...

The following conventions are in use for the match topics:
-Supplemental materials are valid sources of feats and hype for any mercenary, but are subject to voter discretion (and may be ignored if they contradict the game). Supplemental materials directly included into the writeup (example: Advent Children Complete for Cloud Strife and Sephiroth) are indisputably valid.

And that definitely contradicts how he's portrayed in game.

That's not what that convention means. Starcraft marines don't have a range of 20 meters just because space is abstracted in their game nor are Ultralisks like three meters tall and two people wide at best. That refers to like, actual contradictions, like when a side material says 'this character can fly' and the character says in dialog 'I can't fly' in-game or whatever.

Wasn't Sion like, actually a human before he got zombified? I don't think he was a Frankenstein style monster, just a super buff warrior who got beefed up with necromancy.

Also, dude was zombified within the confines of the city of Noxis, and I don't think they have labs the size of that picture to experiment with.

He was, and then he got megaswole because of experiments with necromantic reanimation.

Also yes, Noxus has the space. He's kept in a massive underground catacomb, which is where the reanimation work is conducted.

Diablo's teleporting and damage output is supplemented by the fact that Nier's ranged game is insane and could basically womp the Mako Reactor. Not to mention Wily's Super Arm essentially being a terrain wrecker here. If the enemy decides to camp out, I'm pretty sure Diablo knows the effects of his own ability well enough to keep out of sight, let the big tanky big bodies and scouts figure out where that guy he's psychicing is, and teleport in, BONE PRISON CHOKE, lolded.

Or, y'know

The dude who is like at least twenty stories tall and has a big fuckin battleaxe just mashing Lilith and Subs. That kinda helps a lot too. I don't know if this team can kill Archer once everyone else is dead, but I have zero doubts NOBODY on Archer's team survives until he regains his ability to deal damage, and by contrast everyone on Team Nier except maybe Cut Man and Spear Motorcycle Man will endure up until that point.

He may not use his Reality Marble, nor turn incorporeal and may be affected by conventional weapons despite his status as a servant. Psycho Mantis has exerted his influence over Archer (through Diablo). Every attack from Archer will somehow wildly miss Diablo's team, even if the attack is an area of effect attack that couldn't actually miss or is unable to miss in any other way, it will somehow miss anyway. IT'S USELESS. He will not realize that he needs to switch controller ports to avert this due to his hubris until 16 seconds after Diablo has been defeated.

Lilith is as she appears during the events of Borderlands 2, fully adapted to her Eridium-enhanced powers. She has fully mastered the Controller skill tree, and is equipped with the HellFire, Baby Maker (with corrosive ammo) and Tsunami SMGs, the Cobra, Penetrator (with Shock ammo) and Lyuda (with Slag ammo) sniper rifles and the Flame of the Firehawk shield. She cannot mass teleport mercs or objects. She has Cloud's motorcycle, Fenrir.

With their lives on the line, which of these teams will taste despair? FIGHT!
---

Shine on, you crazy diamond.

Diablo, Alucard, Dr. Wily, Nier, Sion, X-Death, Cut Man, Air Man and Spearman (on a motorcycle) have challenged Archer, Lilith, Cloud Strife and Sub-Zero to a fight! Location of the fight: Nibelheim Mountains - Tall, sharp, and desolate, little lives in the Nibelheim Mountains — which makes it a fitting place to die. The few paths winding through the crags are narrow and steep, providing little room for maneuvering. If you fall, it's a long drop down. Attackers will start at the bottom of the mountain range, and defenders will start at the Mako reactor.. Which side will win?


Guidelines

- The fight will occur in real-time (like an FMV sequence). Gameplay mechanics are less important than how the characters would function in a real-time environment.
- The members of each team are ideal teammates capable of a pre-selected plan of battle.
- "Broken" refers to a lot of things, including insta-death, auto-effects, a variety of status effects (e.g., Imp, Silence, Stop, *not* Poison), and revival. Unless stated otherwise, nobody has them, though do use your own discretion.
- There may be SPOILERS from all of the games the characters are from.

Rules for Voting

-Bold your votes (using bold HTML tags).
-You do not need to require justification for your vote, though the admins reserve the right to disqualify votes in the advent of obvious alt voting and other similar scenarios.
-Leaders cannot vote for their own teams (and players from the same pool may not vote as well), but they are free to argue their case.
-If you want to switch your votes simply bold the change; there's no need to delete your post, though you may if you wish.
-This match will end in 24 hours.
-The following conventions are in use for match topics: www.gamefaqs.com/boards/570224-mercs/75290480#2

Sion is as seen in League of Legends. He is assumed to be max level, and have a standard tank's item build. He does not have access to wards, potions, masteries, item actives or summoner spells.

Dr. Wily is as he appears in Mega Man: Powered Up in his respective Wily Machine. He does not have access to the Wily Capsule. Wily cannot exit his machine and will be considered defeated when his machine is defeated.

Alucard is as he appears through the second castle of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. He is equipped with the Cross, has access to his best non-broken equipment and relics up to that point, and does not have the Shield Rod or his intro equipment. He has the Mist relic, but no Mist time extension or poison. The only familiar he has with him is the Bat, which summons more bats to help Alucard when he transforms.

Nier is as he is seen in Nier (after the time-skip), with access to the Phoenix Dagger, Labyrinth's Song, and Transience. All three are equipped with Pahuloth and Ululoth. Grimoire Weiss is with him, and gives him access to all of his spells in the game, which are all equipped with Gebuloth and Lugzarken.

X-Death is as he appears in Final Fantasy V. He will fight in his standard armored form and cannot transform, but has all of his endgame power and attacks from all of his boss fights. Additionally, he has access to all of his Brave/HP attacks from Dissidia as well as flight, though the actual Brave/HP mechanics do not apply. He cannot use White Hole, Delta Attack, Zombie Breath or the FFV Version of Grand Cross, nor can he banish anyone to another plane or use the void itself as a weapon. He will have twice his usual physical attack and speed, but his health will slowly deteriorate. He will start next to the enemy team, and will be frozen solid for the first 30 seconds of the battle.
