Game 2: Sticks and Stones III

She withdraws from the warfare and falls back, though the only thing she was running into was a corner where she'll be likely to get clipped midair and finished off for good.

The player wielding the greatsword leaped onto her and she rolled aside to avoid it but got hit by the water wave that her other enemy had cast while she was not looking. She collapses into the wall of earth behind her that the impact had erect and her character gets downed.

[6% aura. I'll take it], she whispered to herself.

Meanwhile, as if responding to her sacrificial macro play, her ally also took advantage of not being watched at the moment. He uses his ult which appeared to be a multishot barrage of literally, not exaggerating, a million blazing arrows which water boy responded to by summoning a wall of liquid that continuously erupts from the ground like a geyser.

[Macro - (Gaming lingo) Strategic; a strategic side of a game]

She gets up and her match immediately slams onto her the oversized dagger and she dodges, NOT AWAY from him, but TOWARDS him. She had expected that he would cast another stone spike aimed at her right after she gets up, so she wanted to use it.

Although players don't get damaged from their own abilities, they would still be affected by its influences.

The rock spike emerged and damaged only her, which took her down to 2% aura, but launched both of them into the air, which was exactly what she wanted.

Away from the earth, his element, where he could have utilized spells to block Naika's wind s***h, he was left with the choice to use his sword to block, which would slam him back, leaving his teammate who was busy blocking the barrage of arrows for them, and let him get killed in the 2v1 as he hopelessly watches, or take the damage that won't even be enough to get him fury?

To him, the choice was obvious. He embraced the windslash head-on.

He planned to take her down as soon as they hit the ground, but he had forgotten just one, simple fact.

Taking damage in the air gets you clipped.

He became arrested in the air, unable to act as Naika chips away at his aura bar, seeing it deplete like water being spilled.

His aura had reached the 30% threshold, and was about to use fury to prevent further damage by emitting the energy blast option, but it seemed to be his lucky day as he did not need to. Her ally's arrow storm had ended and the spear weilder turned immediately from the successful denfense to hit Naika just once, which was enough to kill her.
