The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

[Sir Sivelos]

*LC raises the ARCHANGEL'S AEGIS, projecting a barrier using its unmatched defensive prowess and channeling his own powers through the shield. The barrier is just large enough to take the acid, but LC seems to have a bit of trouble maintaining it. As if by clockwork, he takes a hit, losing his concentration, and the barrier dissipates. However, he did save you the trouble of taking a couple rounds of acid.*

*Meanwhile, SIVELOS uses tech: SET IN STONE, level 9999 on NIDHOGG. NIDHOGG will now take a set amount of damage from any and all attacks, and while it isn't much, at least it means you can do SOME damage onto him!*

[Ganyu]

*The wall of frozen vines grow higher, taking the brunt of the acid spillage*

*genetically augments the wall to absorb the acid like a sponge, as well as grow flowers that spit out the acid as a defense-offense mechanism*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS uses a frenzy of SACRED SWORDS on NIDHOGG! It may not deal MUCH damage, but it is much, much more than you were able to do previously.*

[Ganyu]

*Elite Ghouls activate their Bloodrush and Bloodlust abilities, giving them a higher critical rate and greater ease of combo-ing attacks; Elite Ghouls use Crimson Fans -- their kagunes lash out at NIDHOGG's flank, raking it in fan strokes (deals set damage)*

*Elite Ghouls follow up with Aerial Predatory Sweep, leaping into the air one after the other, synchronizing their movements to create a stinging slash-down of their kagune blades; this technique precedes Legendary Scale-Breaker, a skill that's potent against mythical beings as well as entities that possess godlike powers (aka NIDHOGG & Co.), and chews away a set amount of 9.5% health against such beings*

*phantasmally face-palms; we should've just capitalized on attacks that dealt percentile damage! Thank the dead stars that the Ghouls work excellent as a unit to maximize their DPS, I suppose those bloodthirsty creatures will want a drumlet or two from NIDHOGG as victory spoils*

[Sir Sivelos]

((Why are you talking in asterisks?))

*The NARRATOR would like to remind you that NIDHOGG is under the effect of SET IN STONE; i.e, all damage directed towards him will do a set amount of damage, like how DRAGON RAGE works, but on a much, much, MUCH higher damage scale. Your attacks may do more or less damage depending on how strong they are normally, which would simply do less-than-scratch damage onto a STONE WALL such as NIDHOGG. Regardless, you still do damage.*

*SIVELOS uses a level 9999 DOUSE on NIDHOGG, putting out the fires on his armor instantly. However, any defensive fires (such as fires from ours and enemys' attacks) also fizzle out. They can be casted again, however. LC is handling the enemy units and occasionally guarding our units from the acid using the ARCHANGEL'S AEGIS' barrier.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*The Ghouls finish their attacks just in time for NIDHOGG's armor to reveal a new...Property: REFLEXIVE RESISTANCE! Simply put, it will now adapt, Borg-Style, to basically any attack you can throw at it. The adaption is permanent. It is currently resistant to SET-DAMAGE ATTACKS of all varieties, or debuffs that cause SET DAMAGE. You will need to SPECIFICALLY find a way to Asphyxiate NIDHOGG for a KILLING BLOW. The Asphyxiating damage has to be what killed NIDHOGG, otherwise he'll just split in two, an act that will almost certainly ruin your chances at defense. IMAGE is such a jerk. NIDHOGG is at about 4/5ths HP, by the way.*

Tazz: WHY are you so hard to kill?!

Nidhogg: If I wassss easy to kill, I'd have been DEAD a long time ago! But now, Death to you!

*OMINOUS sets up LV. 9999 STEALTH ROCK while NIDHOGG isn't around. PSIONS coming in are taking some scratch damage on entrance-good for helping clean them up with some AOE, a fact that your GRAND ARTILLERIES are capitalizing on.*

*CARCINO uses a basic attack on the nearest PSION, killing it. Sometimes simple works out fine.*

*STORM uses WINDSABER! The wind blows so ridiculously harsh that air itself turns to razor sharp-edges, rushing through the RaGNaK's troops and doing in more.*

*TAZZ tries to freeze up NIDHOGG, but cannot! It seems that IMAGE pre-adapted the armor to frost, hence it's flaming nature. Curses!*

*VELVETINE uses TWO'FER, doing some double-killing left and right. the PSIONS seem resistant to his abilities...But NOT immune. You can tell.*

*JEREMY uses LV. 9999 STONESHAKER! The whole place starts shaking with force, focused primarily around the RaGNaK Troops! Allies have a 30% chance of being TRIPPED UP! Enemies have a 70% chance of being TRIPPED UP! The RaGNaK Troops also take minor damage.*

*REBECCA uses LV. 9999 CHARM BREAK! She does an insane blitzkrieg rush into the PSIONS, soaking up aggro like no tormorrow and doing crazy damage, killing several!*

Tazz: Ugh! And this is only going to get harder...At least their units are kind of weak-ish.

[Sir Sivelos]

I think they're trying to do it Zerg-Rush-style! They may be weak-ish, but they might overpower us if they get too numerous! *SIVELOS uses LV. 9999 CHAINS OF JUPITER, with the glowing electric chains lashing out and hunting any and all enemies without mercy, killing any enemy who touches them.*

*LC is simply using BLAZE OF GLORY to get his offenses up, thanks to the buff it gives him upon killing an enemy with it.*

[Ganyu]

*casts Reaping Cloak on everybody; you know the drill, stop attacking and the buff is gone, now go!*

*opens three portals around NIDHOGG which all suck him in; given their equidistant positioning, NIDHOGG remains stationary but feels the pulling force*

*proceeds to summon large tapered vines from the ground, which reach towards NIDHOGG, seeking to strangle and bind it*

[Sir Sivelos]

(Okay, now to test my idea…) *SIVELOS uses the power of the INFINTY GAUNTLET - which has been on his hand (fused to it, rather) the entire time he's been with the Antivoid - to control the Dimensional Fabric, moving all of the dimensional fabric around NIDHOGG away, causing what is essentially a vacuum. He creates a field around NIDHOGG that repels dimensional fabric like two same-pole magnets.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*NIDHOGG COUNTERWARPS. AKA, does the thing that is the entire reason Reality Warping and the like doesn't really work. Perhaps, if you could do that as a technique, it might? But, you clearly don't have any class that covers spatial abilities. Yet.*

*DIMENTIO, however, does have a class to cover spatial abilities, and immediately decides to achieve the effects desired anyways. Nidhogg briefly squirms before restoring order thorugh his own, far more powerful powers, but it was still ultimately worth the shot.*

Dimentio: Unfortunately, Sivelos, there are ways of manipulating the fabric that you must learn in order to actually do so without reality warping! Counterwarping is such a drag, after all, but do it right and it's no problem! It's basically reality warping without actually warping reality! Tedious, contradictory and backwards? Yes! But also necessary, sadly. Your next Class-Up should be in the Dimensional Warper class, or something similar, IF you want to figure that out. My presence should help the levels in that class go by quicker, but for now...Hehehe...Sivelos, have you considered something that doesn't melt to choke Nidhogg initially, then using different substances to keep him choked so the reflexive armor doesn't work fast enough? There's no GLUE nor ICE you can make to fit the description, of course, so you'd better think of a substitute to both!

Nidhogg: SILENCE, FOOL!!

Dimentio: Fool?! How dare you! I am a jester! There is an immense difference! In any case, I've seen stupidity so much that competence would be a blessed relief for once, so let's get on with it!

*The Vines are INCINERATED by NIDHOGG'S fiery armor! Yes, it's that hot. I wouldn't be fielding ICEMEN if I were you. As NIDHOGG is HUGE, not being able to move is no bother to him, so the vortexes remain. He's still firing his PORE CANNONS. The projecitles break the distance needed and start killing your units! They're doing an excellent job of keeping the PSIONS at bay...Almost too good...*

*...Something's up. It's too obvious after the Narrator said 'Almost too good.' But how to check what IS up?*
