Spoiler: Beat 14
Pruning Burst


And because it might end up mattering, I believe that it's

I don't think that it's actually possible for me to win this game at this point.

Pass.

No, probably not. Especially because I think you're dead.

I actually just wanted to escape so I could Life Virus, but I apparently didn't notice I had lethal.

Yeah, I think that even if you'd done Rooted Lance with the soak there it gives me 3 damage, not enough to close the gap. Then you could dodge away next beat.

Anything else also beats me. Like the pruning Burst (or Venomous Grasp, or ...)

Good game! Well played!

GG to you too. I'm just glad I actually won a game, and not because I misunderstood the mechanics my way to success. Even if it took you switching characters twice.

So I do want a rematch, but I want to wait until tomorrow. That one didn't feel unwinnable, just really hard given my current Seth play.

Congratulations!

As for the last two wins by me, remember that you were effectively playing with the nerfed abilities. I wouldn't count them as losses given that.

They were such huge blowups that I highly doubt actually knowing what my abilities were would have helped much.

And in this case I think Lixis has a huge advantage over Seth, mostly because of Lance. I have ways to counter everything you do, but I think you're just not mobile enough to get past my increased range. I'm not saying it's unwinnable for Seth by any means, but it's at the very least 6-4, if not 7-3, in Lixis's favor.

This game in particular though... I think you only hit with Beyond Eyes once? I'll have to look back on that, but that really says a lot about Lixis's toolset that she can almost constantly have at least two different bases accomplish what she needs to do, and you just got unlucky with the 50/50's.

I'll be looking forward to the rematch as well.

Yeah, your range options were a bother and Lance was constantly a worry; I seldom had the same range of options that you did in a given beat. I also probably shouldn't have used that pulse, but rather should have made you come in to get me eventually. Had I gotten a few more Beyond Eyes in it might have gone differently (and at the end I needed to try to rush things which isn't in my favor at all for this matchup.) In any case, I'll see what I can manage for the next game or two (whichever is needed for the best of 3,) and then I'll probably switch out to another character for now.

If you want to keep practicing Seth, I could switch instead. I don't think it's entirely fair that I get to keep playing with the same character while you're constantly switching and having to relearn things.

No, if you're enjoying Lixis stick with her. I'm happy doing a best of 3 here, but then I want to try out lots of characters over time and don't mind switching at all. Besides, I at least don't have to learn a new opponent each time this way so there's that going for me. If you want to switch at any point you're welcome to, but do it for your enjoyment, not mine. I'm having fun!
