It was, it was.

well, why are you taking so long to write your quents?

What's the rush? There's still a week until the start.

Who I'm playing as, by the way... I've kind of forgotten... I'll need to carefully study my own quenta

Thanks for the idea for enemy NPCs 👍

We've already seen enemy NPCs like that named Machinary... So the idea isn't new...

I haven't seen it. But I remember perfectly well my character's neighbor from Sakuromoria, who absorbed tons of damage in the Tournaments.

Machinaries are guys with 1000 hp and 1000 damage, but low speed, who can be killed in one hit if you have AP and a skill like miner.

Ah yes, one more thing about M/F bonuses. One funny thing that male characters are better suited for is a depressive Mika worshipper in plate armor:
1) Pick an M character
2) Put all attribute points into Body
3) Take Renavan's Melancholy
4) Take heavy armor
As a result, you get a hulk with 30 (Body) + 25 (Mika) + 30 (plate) + 5 (helm) + 5 (surcoat) + 5 (boots) = 100 starting defense, not counting better gear.
In the end, you get a mountain of muscle that doesn't care about spirit damage, mind control, or most standard attacks. Even if someone manages to overcome 100 defense, they'll still have to deal with the 300 health hiding behind it. At the same time, the character's resistance to status effects will be no worse than that of a Knight who put all their points into Mind. Unless the opponent is a monster themselves, or has ways to ignore defense, nobody will be able to do anything to such a tank. 

That reminds me of the dragon with 50000 HP and 100 scales that died from a single hit from the cheater Dorian... I think that's called "zeroing out"?🤔

It was even more hopeless.

Machineries are guys with 1000 hp and 1000 damage, but low speed, who can be killed in one hit if you have AP and a skill like miner.

A miner in this case is also a "nullifier"...

Resetters have always existed. And there used to be immunities to them as well. It's simply impossible to create a character who will just effortlessly defeat everyone and everything.

So, which terminators did we have in the expansions?
There was Antaer, who chopped off heads with hammers. Then some sage predicted his death at the hands of a kalevrit and, although this prophecy never came true, Heroist spent the whole game avoiding them. He was right to do so, actually, as they, in their set, were a total imba.
There was Sit'Al, who was swallowed by a hydra.
There was Tirza, Ertenia's best nature-user and a giga-tank-regenerator, who was killed by the cards of fate. And not mine, but Heroist's.
There was Hanelion, whose death spawned the "friendly duel" meme.
There was Sarnissa, who started with an imba origin multiplied by my help with the build. You know how she ended up.
There was Relhiras, who died from fruits. If he hadn't died, he would have ended up in eternal slavery.
There was Livia, who Lyde tore apart in no time. An imba-build didn't save her.
There was Tsukiko, whose katana Lyde broke in the first round. Again, an imba-build didn't save her. There were also situations where she was taken under control and started hacking her comrades to pieces. And then she lost a card game to a fox, wasted half her skills, and was killed by a tree.
There was Elrina, with almost a triple turn, but Asparagus found a way to deal with her too.
There was Gullveig, on whom my maid landed a critical miss with critical damage, taking down the armor-clad terminator in one hit.
There was Erephir, who, despite all the buffs, was practically useless in battle against Valis.
There was Kenshiro, who was zeroed by a random citizen's lightning.

Am I forgetting anyone?

Machinaries are guys with 1000 hp and 1000 damage, but low speed, who can be killed in one hit if you have AP and a skill like miner.

Our pumpkin buddy was very helpful in killing such a thing.

There was Livia, who Laid tore apart in no time. An imba build didn't save her.

It still feels really unfair.

There was also the dragon-woman Arita. Not exactly imba, but the fail on the main quest is incredibly stupid. Simply put, she's almost the only combat unit who got taken out by random nobodies due to bad rolls.

but Asparagus found a way to deal with her too.

A "way" named "Halmeldir," who was actually a real terminator.
