Riding will become a useless skill taking up a slot after 1 real battle (if you beg the hostess, 2)
For nameless NPCs, it definitely won't...
Nor for Yashchur with his breeding ground.
The concerns are understandable, yes. It depends on the availability of mounts, actually. But the lack of them could also play a nasty trick, so I wouldn't swear by it.
\In the end, he couldn't snatch a victory from milady Stefania, for whom my respect is beyond all praise. Here, of course, skill won out, but it also feels like equipment could have played a role to some small extent.
Ple-Sen
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 over him. And in the duel too.
Do we start or wait for Reven?
I asked him to, and then whatever.
In the archery contest, Ney rolled over 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 solely the skill that played a role, which Axel could have taken too.
In the duel, it wasn't the difference in weapons 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 large 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 of taking?
A partner. 😆
There are different options. You've seen the mounts yourself, for example. Lester has no ways to attack fliers, so his own pegasus or wyvern wouldn't hurt him, no matter how ridiculous it might look. A bow would also work for that purpose, but you're all about daggers. Do you want more specialization or what?
Sky
which Axel could have taken too.
You all could have taken mounted too.
Don't remind me...
well, you can't go invisible on a mount. but yeah, there's a certain amount of suffering.
should I really take a bow? a partner - well, that's good of course, but we all know partners in expeditions.

I asked him to come, but beyond that, whatever.

Well, there's also the option of active skills. But stances aren't too useful. I wouldn't take Intimidating Attack — Lester will kill the enemy before he scares them. Well... except in very rare cases. Precise Attack could be useful, but it all depends on your AP. Armor Shred... I'd call it useless, but there's still that case with Alaria. It might not work on monster portraits either, but it's better to ask Revan about that. With a triple dagger, you have a good chance of zeroing the enemy's defense. But again, that's situational.
And then there are non-combat skills. You've seen the power of paintings yourself. You'll be able to buff yourself, Yin, Ambrose, and the rest of Deus's nameless knights. Merchant is a very thematic option for Lester, with his charisma. Leadership... the skill itself is great, but with a terminator-type character like yours, it will activate less often. But maybe this way you can compensate for the lack of air access, if you happen to have an ally shooter or ally/flier nearby.
I'd either take something non-combat, or a rider/precise attack. Just save your final choice for the brawl, so you don't suddenly get a hundred buff paintings or something, since I'm giving you advice.

Round 7, fight 6.
Milord Axel Von Himmel V Sir Orwald de Martelam
The battle began with attempts by the riders to deprive each other of their main advantages. Axel attacked the Bastion with the wyvern's flame and his bow, while Orwald struck his opponent's mount with his hammer.
The wyvern fell first. The Knight of the Golden Tower paralyzed it and then finished it off with his hammer. This slightly unsettled the Knight of the Gloomy Sky, causing the man to change his strategy. He now took up his sword and struck at Orwald himself, placing some curse on him with the first blow that made the hammer-wielder's strikes less accurate, causing him to miss more often.
The Knight of the Gloomy Sky continued making weak jabs against his opponent's armor, which were not always successful. The Knight of the Golden Tower, in turn, similarly grazed his opponent's armor while trying to immobilize him.
Due to the heavy armor of the combatants, the duel dragged on considerably. Both knights gradually weakened each other, restored health from their flasks, and then struck again. No matter how much Orwald tried to immobilize his opponent or lower his morale, it was all in vain. Axel steadfastly endured all trials, simultaneously managing to carve up his opponent. In the end, it was this very steadfastness that secured the Gloomy Sky's victory in this battle. The final blow was his.
Note: it seemed that Orwald's usual tactic of immobilization had failed significantly. Each time, Axel froze for the briefest moment, then seemed to magically recover. He likely had some cunning secret prepared against such unpleasant effects. Moreover, no matter how much the Knight of the Golden Tower tried to affect his morale, the Gloomy Sky remained unshakable until victory.

Round 8, fight 1.
Milady Alsira Vecchi d'ArcRede V "Milord" Galaharadron
The Knight of the Moon Shadow once again stuck to her usual tactic of flying around the arena to feast on olives to her heart's content. And when they ran out, Alsira fired her unusual piercing attack, which also weakened her own life force. Galaharadron fell without managing to do anything.
Note: this strategy of flying around to feast on olives seems more like outright mockery of the opponent. But in many cases, this tactic works. It's strange that she chose not to perform the battle dance, but instead sacrificed her own health.
Happy Life
