FOR JUSTICE!!! RIDE ON ROCINANTE!!!!! I truly didn't think this would be possible, but one must Dream the Impossible Dream indeed- and also have "[Clash Win] Gain 2 Attack Power Up next turn"
It’s frankly terrifying to think that out of all the sinners don is the one to be the absolutely greatest threat if cornered in a single fight going off of base ids Like, she’s insane AND strong enough to be a danger to not just herself
They want to enter the next phase of the fight with the extra strength from Don’s Skill 2. The Skill only gives strength on clash win, so they wait for Ahab to recover from stagger. Since Ahab has that unavoidable counter skill in the third phase, it would be important to try to attack with the highest Skill values to try to stagger her as soon as possible.
