I like where this is going~

Some people just work better alone.

Lamb's whole plan makes sense: if the opponents pull a strong push from the start, it's a perfect opportunity to turn it against them before they manage to adjust to her team's own tactics, Fen being the main force of the team will force the opponents to focus on her, not only getting her to be able to smash them, but also opening them tp either Lamb or Birk (depending on who's tag-teaming with Fen at that moment) to flank them;

And the third point: yeah Fen also don't want to lose, and by her face at the last panel she'll make sure that's not the case.

As always, they have to push Fen in order for her to do something, or at least do something correctly.

Fen has been a loser all her life and didn't get her shit together until she came to the temple. Even with her training, Fen is a novice compared to everyone else. Morgan is all around, Fen's better and should be the one leading this team to victory, especially since Fen hasn't shown progress in two matches.

I sure hope she gets double trouble ;)

Very good points from Morgan.

Also, Truth be told, Fen got a Ring Out twice in a row now, as captain. That might not sit well. She's gonna have to rethink her strategy.

Choose your answer very carefully Fen.

Thank goodness she got a talking to. Tired of Fen fucking around because she thinks she's just playing a game. You are better than this. Put some fucking effort into it.

Girls come now your not intimidating anyone these fighters come from all over for these fights training just as much they all want it just as bad to be fair

through the powers of being the protagonist, you need to learn to play it as a solo instead of playing the actual game XD

Lamb pulling a Bane there.

All we need is the open palm on Fen's shoulder.

Fen's faces in this page are so good. That last panel especially.

Bitch, we brought you here to solo ace the entire team, do you expect us to actually work?

If their next opponents watched them fight, they are in for a big surprise.

Listen to the Lamb, she know how to bring guys down on them knees and get things messy!
Wait, was I talking about the fights or the nights?

Honestly, I hope they don't win the tournament. Morgan's bit here is pretty mercenary and Fen, while quite skilled on her own, seems to lack most team skills which, despite what Morgan said, is kind of important here. Because despite popular belief, I don't actually think Fen could take on a decently coordinated "team" on her own. It would do better if they lost but used as a good insight into what they need to improve on... or if the tournament was interupted by something catastrophic (that's where my money is).

It would definitely be a nice spin on the usual narrative formula these days.

Heck, even dragon ball had goku lose his first tournament (granted mostly due to luck) but it was one of the driving factors for his father development and the next fight with Tien after that made it so much better to see his development by comparison.

This is was the equivalent of "Fen can you please lock the F*** in?!" lol but I will have to say the team strategy of "placing your bets on one person" as powerful she is don't get me wrong can spell disaster if she get knock out of the ring or the rest of the team does get knock out and it a 3 vs 1. But something tell me the last frame means there an ace up the team sleeves. It will be interesting to see the line up after the qualifiers.

I can see what Morgan sees in him he can definitely be a hot top if he puts his mind to it I just hope fen gets to join

Lol I love "Grippers"

Annnd There We Go The Encouragement She Needs:P

I Have A Feeling Next Time Fen Will Be Kicking Ass:3

Oh... o-okay

I hope the other grippers as well XD

Hm! Very smart! Also, yay~! Team Building Sex~! X3

"Do you want to lose, Fen" Right there is a serious wake up call.
You KNOW She's going to start whooping butt.

Some salty comments this page.

So bum rush them from the start with overwhelming? That is a plan until it gets countered.

Every plan has it's weakness. It's all a matter on if they don't meet a team that counters it and can adapt fast enough to the possibilities of future fights.

Hope we get to see those two fuck

Tell her you'll withhold sex and she will have to go without from everyone till they get back home. That will get the point across. lol

"A Tale of Tails, 8-126 - Morgan wants two things"

Morgan asked for five things, you goober.

Listen here you little shit :p

"No plan survives first contact with the enemy."

All 3 of them should keep that in mind. Lamb is right, adaptation is key.

Fen the Tank

So if Fen's the anchor, who's the Hail Mary?

winning. Thats all that matters. I love it. Simple and too the point. So fen.... time to kick ass

Thing is, Fen really should learn to work with a team. She may end up against someone stronger than her. Hopefully she does, being the strongest usually makes for a boring protaganist. I say usually because Doomslayer is, narratively, the strongest character ever made

It's all a matter of tone. For something light hearted where spectacle and fun is the main focus it's def ok to leave one person as the strongest/OP. In a much more serious story, however, you gotta have the main focus of the story actually struggling because then otherwise it just leads to the question of "what was the point of it then?".

It's honestly strange how this line of thinking is being ignored by a lot of writers these days in place of faux tension and narrative stakes.

Heh, kinda funny i thought "Damn, that is a BIG hand" before i even read the speech bubble.

Fen's right. Coordination is key, because it is a two on two fight with everybody fighting at once. They would do well to develop some kind of strategy though adaptation is going to be very key since you may not know what your opponent is going to come out with or what tricks they may be hiding up their sleeve.

...but also Morgan is right. Sha literally gave Fen something to enhance her already considerable abilities, and her Hadalen techniques are literally limited by her imagination. She could phase into solid objects for a time WITHOUT the enhancing glove, what kinda wild shit can she do with it? Absolutely makes sense to stop fucking around and have them concentrate on the most capable fighter because she could probably handle it and have the other fighter act as support/annoyance and pick off the others one at a time.

Doesn't this leave a rather large weakness? If their best fighter is too busy fighting one person while the support get rushed down, doesn't that mitigate their entire plan?

I mean the point Morgan's making is that Fen can handle both opponents on her own :p

I get that, it just feels very "eh, I don't think team competitions work that way" especially considering teams who've trained longer together would have better synergy.

I get it's fantasy, just one of those things that stretches my suspension of disbelief is all.

I'm sure it'll be a fun story in the end though.

Morgan has sooooo much to learn.... teamwork is way stronger than pure power. Just ask any D&D or MMORPG boss. ^^

I think the strategy Morgan is going for is to set Fen up as a meat grinder, so she and the bird man can push the opponents into said grinder; Lamb wants to be the sheep dog.
It's a kind of team work.
For lack of preparation time, it's an effective enough strategy. If they had more time, they could focus on territory management, gathering information about their opponents, and rehearsing plans. A more coordinated power management scheme could have them spending less time and energy finishing the fight. As it is, Fen has been enhanced and isn't using her full strength; brute force can be effective, so long as Fen can keep her focus.
This is a sparring tournament, not a life and death scenario. Having an ally get defeated is acceptable; Fen doesn't need to keep running off to save her team mates if she can finish the match on her own.
That said, it's one of many different effective strategies. It might work, it might not.

She's hoping big hands mean big other things

Morgan is so beautiful and strong <3

When supporting the people around you becomes a liability instead of a help.

She's such a slut. I love it!

Excuse you, she's not a SLUT, she's a STUD! :p She's a barely managed nympho.

I'd let her fold me and I'd thank her for it <3

The whole point lies in adaption and changing of tactics, keeping new opponents on their toes and not knowing what they will be up against...

Some matches will call for teamwork, others for just letting Fen loose on them and picking up the pieces afterwards, whatever brings victory and a nice fuck afterwards.

Lambasky! Analysis!

In a very positive way, can we just enjoy how Fer's style has progressed since 13 years ago?
