38 Strategy Pt. 2 (1/2)
”Hey Lasks! Glad you could make it!”
'Eh? This is Lasks?' Li Ming couldn't seem to recall Lasks looking like this at all. Last he recalled, Lasks was a mysterious mage. Lasks had worn a Mage Robe and a full cloak that covered Lasks' face and body. In real life, Lasks had worn an oversized hoodie and sweatpants. This young lady in front of him now looked nothing like the Lasks he had met in LA or online.
”Didn't I tell you not to make it too feminine?” Lasks whined, ”This is far too revealing, I was hoping for something more like a hoodie!”
”You can't have a hoodie, it'll look too out of place!” Conflux laughed, ”We would've given you robe or a cloak, but that wouldn't look too uniform with the rest of our outfits too. We ended up getting you something similar to MeiChie's here. If you're too embarrassed by it, I can ask them to give you a cape or a smaller cloak of some kind.”
”P-please do, this outfit is too much.” Lasks muttered, obviously disturbed by her costume.

”Anyways, we're here today to discuss team strategies.” Conflux started, ”This strategy was created by The Dawn and MeiChie here. I'll let them explain it to you.”

”And that's the gist of it, what do you think?” Li Ming finished the explanation for the second the time.
”I don't mind it at all.” Conflux declared confidently, ”In fact, that makes my job a lot easier. I'll only be responsible for defending one player instead of the regular three.”
”Huh, that's true. You're only guarding a mage this time, without needing to worry about our gunner or a cleric.”
”B-but in this case, won't we be missing a cleric?” Lasks asked, ”What if we aren't able to beat them from this strategy?”
”Then we lose, of course.” Chie explained, ”Our tactic is to specifically target their cleric, and if possible, their mage or gunner. It's just to give us a number's advantage that we can use to overpower them in one go.”
”That's right. We're trying to end every match in under 5 minutes if possible.” Li Ming continued, ”By having Lasks use heavy artillery spells, we can ensure that at least their cleric dies. With their main source of sustain out of the way, we should be able to overrun them since we basically have two extremely tanky players in Conflux and Collisio, and two near assassin players in me and MeiChie”
”I'm fine with it,” Collisio started, ”But will Lasks be alright? It seems like she'll have to change out quite a few of her spells.”
”I'm sure it's fine,” Li Ming answered, ”But just to make sure, Lasks, would you be comfortable using Heavy Artillery spells instead of your Battle Artillery spells? I'm talking about spells like [Meteor Barrage], [Blinding Lightning Spear], and [Wind Guillotine]; they have longer cast times but significantly more damage output.”
”You mean I actually get to use them?!?” Lasks asked with her eyes drooling from excitement, ”Could I use even bigger spells too?”
”Even bigger spells?” Chie asked, ”You mean 'Nuke' Spells?”
”Yes!” Lasks answered excitedly, ”Spells like [Grand Supernova – Weiss], [Hellscythe of the End], and [Worldly Implosion – Schwarz] are all spells I've only dreamed of using in a competitive match!”
””””Uhhh,”””” the team thought aloud in unison.
”It might be best to only use one of those, if I'll be honest.” Li Ming informed her, ”We need to take out exactly one character at the beginning, so if you use a regular Heavy Artillery spell first to take out the cleric, then we'll have the ability to suppress the enemies more for your Nuke level spells.”
”To be honest, it's not impossible for us to buy you thirty seconds for a spell cast,” Conflux explained, ”But if that fails, then the enemy cleric might have had enough time to just buff and heal up their team.”
”That's fine! That's completely fine by me!” Lasks' excitement was beyond anything her initial shy appearance might have given off, ”I'm just happy I get to use such cool spells!”

”...Is what she said.” Conflux relayed the results of the discussion to Coach Kimi later that night.
”So what you're saying is that we're really going to try that insane strategy, huh.”
”It would seem so. Everyone is very excited to try it out, so we may need to start practice and scrims earlier than usual.”
”I see. Well, I'm excited to try it out. If this goes well, we'll gain fans just as fast as we finish games!” Coach Kimi smiled, ”I sure hope this works.”
”I'm sure it will, isn't that why you had me recruit those two?”
”Of course! They really seem like they're way ahead of their game.” Coach Kimi explained, ”It should be perfectly fine to be honest. I would have approved their plan at the get go, but I really wanted them to work on communicating with their team.”
”I'm glad they put so much effort into it, especially Lasks.” Conflux sighed in relief, ”I was really starting to worry after the LA experience since she barely even talked.”
