So, I am going to go out on a limb and say time zones are less important than the right people for the job here. Both Xia and Ayumu are perfectly capable of doing some real harm. Since this is the second line of defense exact timeslot availability is not nearly as important.
And ghosting rules do apply

I am interested in this one as well, but I will take the primary one if people fill this.
I'm bow based, with 150% ranged due to Kyujutsu 5
My primary roll is 9k4+4 with damage 5k2

Re: The Second Shield Planning
Alright I've sat on this thought for a couple hours. A couple players have legitimately commented that they want to make sure and have the chance for their combatants to shine at least once in the course of this game. Phi has had at least one combat event herself, so I'm going to step back so that someone else can take this spot.
I won't, however, be doing the First Line. That belongs to people the best of the best among us, of whom we have a good, strong set of options. So, good luck on this one guys. Phi will be participating through defense of the Camp itself, because this was one of the tasks Shinjo assigned to us, and someone has to make sure the supplies are ready to go for the retreat once Fu Leng has been rescued.
========
I only request that we take this fight seriously, because it will be without question the most gruelling, challenging and dangerous fight the characters will face in the entirety of this game. It's not an event to participate in without assuming that your character could very much bite the big one, and that we absolutely do NOT want both lines of defense (and the kami in one of them) to fall.

Re: The Second Shield Planning
Satone, to be clear: You're playing one of our better combatants. If you're willing to play in one of these, particularly the First Line of Defense, I think you should be welcome to do so.
I am sitting out because Phi is a non-optimized combatant who doesn't do much damage, and at least one player who didn't have a fight has expressed a wish to do so, so I offered to step back. You're not going to get contested for a spot in the First Line of Defense.
============
But if I haven't made this clear, I will do so now:
In my opinion, if Shinjo dies and both lines fall, and enough shugenja die, we lose.
Purity does not matter. I don't care if we're up 120 points at that stage. The shield drops and Jigoku consumes them all. Lose. End of story. Te few remaining, living characters run in terror, hoping to get away with their lives. The five going on the rescue can only succeed because there is a giant shield of elemental power keeping them from dying a horrible, tainted death within seconds.
We need our best in the front line, and we need competent combatants in the second just in case. Phi is one of about 6-7 who qualify as competent but may not be as effective as others, so me stepping back doesn't impact the results.

Re: The Second Shield Planning
100% with Phi in this. Miuna is a shuggie, but please everyone consider carefully. More than a few of us are likely to die in this so let's do our best to make a solid defense (which is going to be more of an offense when the time comes, let's be real). I wish I had a better understanding of combat to be able to offer more ;__;

Re: The Second Shield Planning
I think we should be less concerned with who's been in what fight before and focus on putting our best chances for survival and/or victory out there. Those 6 in there are need us to live long enough for them to get out. I think we all need to take that into consideration, and place our characters (read: sacrifices) accordingly. We need, at the very least, for Shinjo and Fu Leng to live and close the hole. Everything else is inconsequential. Hardest hitters in front line defense, second best fighters plus Shinjo in second defense and then all the shuggies I think. Miuna has all rings balanced 3s except Void 2.

Re: The Second Shield Planning
Agreed. I believe firmly that we have a selection of characters (Wu, Reo, Myself, Ayumu, the Makime if they show up, Kinsen, Kaze, Umeno and possibly one or two more) who will have roughly equivalent effectiveness in this event. Alongside Nanzi, who is more robust and has proven himself as such twice now, any three of those would do well alongside Shinjo. I'm basically only backing out because I trust that Wu and Reo are more than up to the task of holding my spot. Reo will do considerably more damage than Phi, and Wu should be able to do middle between us.Shinjo Miuna wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 10:55 pmI think we should be less concerned with who's been in what fight before and focus on putting our best chances for survival and/or victory out there.

Nanzi, Kinsen, Shinjo, Kaze (? I don't know his stats), Umeno if she's not in 1st line otherwise Ayumu

Re: The Second Shield Planning
Kaze hits with an 8k4 on his spears, but his damage is 5k2.
Atn 23 (ashigaru armor).
Earth 2.
He's been in two fights, one of them an event.
I also tend to draw fire outside of a couple standard deviations and get conked out real fast. So I'm only going in if someone asks me to. There are better suited folks out there.

Re: The Second Shield Planning
I don't think your damage's ever really been a problem per se. I suspect that the Tengoku Justice trick won't be available to you, so you're probably rolling a max of 6k2 damage most times, but you're generally going to hit with your spear. However, as you said, you have an Earth 2, and that does mean that you're at greater risk of being removed from the fight in the 2nd to 3rd round of participation.
And, let's be real. Whatever comes past the first stringers is probably not going to be simple bakemono.
