075 Spar: Titanyana vs Wall

Donovan took a deep breath before continuing. Honesty was probably the best way to go about it, but he could not be particularly enthusiastic."As I am sure you are aware, we qualify as 'Significantly Behind' in practically every category of measurement. We haven't had the opportunity to train together, work together, learn together, compete together. We lack reputation, experience, and backing. Your commanding officer, that being myself, is unfamiliar with the tactics commonly used on the battlefield. There is a very real chance that we will not find success for quite some time as we work to bring ourselves to the level of our adversaries, our competitors."

The three of them either looked down in shame or bit their lips at this information. Until only recently, they were the dregs of the enrolled, cast aside due to unsatisfactory performance in some way. Were it not for their stubbornness, their adamant belief that they had an opportunity, they wouldn't be here. There was relief in that, but there was little doubt their work had only just started.hing, but the words of the most expert person and the one who experienced fighting against him will hold a different weight."

"My impressions? Hmm. Well, I will say that I still believe that armor and shields are not as effective, they do seem to suit him quite well. I feel my opinion of that method of combat has risen, especially after having been restricted to a level where I can't properly penetrate it. At the same time, I think I've understood its limits. That being said, it might be the best style of combat being given his size and physical strength. Should we develop proper methods to account for his weaknesses he could be a threatening force on the battlefield, especially against slower enemies and those not strong enough to harm him."

"What would you suggest?"

"Improving sight lanes for one. Not to drag you through the mud but it was way too easy to stay within your blind spots. Removing some spars on your helmet's face guard might help with that, as well as shortening your overall shield height. You honestly don't need it to reach the ground in order protect your feet."

"Anything else?"

"Speed. He needs to be faster in both response times and movement if he is going to fight effectively."

"Fortunately, it seems like those are both things we can work on. Wall, do you have any ideas?"

"No. Lady Tanya's concerns are already known to me, and I have been working to remedy them. Remodeling my armor and shield is a bit costly, you see, so I haven't been able to do that." He had begun to unfasten his armor in spots, a stench of sweat and blood assaulting Donovan's nose.

"All the more reason to focus on them. I will start thinking of ways to use you in a group fight. You may wash yourself or stay to watch the rest if you please." Donovan wanted to place an emphasis on hygiene, more because he didn't want his residence smelling like man ass. There wasn't an air filter like there was on the Noah.

"I think I'll watch the others, they watched me."
