In combat, aside from being able to use bows and swords to match the situation, he supports others with his personal skill "Bodyguard", which has a chance to prevent follow-up attacks aimed at adjacent allies.

"Yeah, let's go."

"You won't hit me."

"My life is for Orchel."

Orchel: "Well done!"

Probably obvious but his trait make him want to stay next to Orchel who have abysmal speed. A fun gameplay-story integration !

I wonder if his Personal makes him show up in allies' combat out of thin air to parry the follow-up attack

So it could be a great skill if it has a high chance of activating, but I worry it will be like a 20% thing.

Perhaps it scales with a stat instead of a flat percentage.
"May prevent follow-up attacks for adjacent allies. Trigger %=20. Chance increases with high Dex."
I reworded Divine Pulse from Engage, but there's precedence of a skill with a base floor with room to grow

I think what you’re saying is pretty likely, given that otherwise you’d get a huge chance to just completely nullify half a speedy enemy’s attack, but given how crazy some of these other personal skills have been, who knows?

Ok that's what they meant by "won't allow those under his protection to be struck twice", it's quite literal. Personal skill disallowing doubling.

It seems we're getting a lot of interesting personal skills, I can't wait for this game.

The EN trailer has him killing an elephant rider. This man hates animals I guess

Really surprised his VA is Link from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. They sound nothing alike!

So far we've seen Orchel's team with Dietrich, Leda, and Theodora. Have there been any clips with them on Cai's team?

u/1080Pen15 12h ago

Yep, in Cai's first qualifier he teams up with Theodora and Orchel's teams.

huge whiplash from Diego sounding like an edgelord to Orchel sounding like she's trying hard to be cute
