Knights of Tezoth

In the end, he couldn't snatch victory from milady Stefania, for whom my respect is beyond all praise. Here, of course, skill won out, but it also feels that equipment could have played a role to some small extent.

Equipment did play a role. In all the other duels. In his favor.

Well, in the archery contest it didn't seem to, Ney rolled him. And in the duel too.

Do we start or wait for Reven?

He asked, but after that, pfft.

In the archery contest, Ney rolled him purely due to precise attack. Her bow doesn't affect accuracy at all. And the base is even lower than Axel's. It was purely the skill that Axel could also have taken.

In the duel, it wasn't the weapon difference that played a role either, but the pegasus's fat. And Stef's pet talisman is indeed decent, but it activated less often than the Dark Falcon. Not to mention that... Axel lost only two battles in the tournament. Two. By that logic, the other participants need new equipment even more. And in larger quantities.

bro. that was just mentioned in passing, it's clear what happened in the duel.

if a +1 skill appeared in my build, what would you think to take?

which Axel could also have taken.

You all could have taken riding too.
