Fern best moments. Frieren best moments. Fern and stark moments

Frieren has postponed working on this for 500 years, but she surely will start working on it tomorow.

[macfurry]

That's not her real weakness, her real weakness is mimic.

[onesmileybaldy]

Notice how the barrier is a bit to the side, Fern purposely missed but Frieren still reflexively blocked

[irfanfauzi]

Yo the "fatal weakness" needs the fastest spellcaster to exploit, the one who came from wild west

[lcdrugo]

You know, beginning shooters will sometimes reflexively shut their eyes when they fire a gun. It usually takes some training and experience to overcome that problem. Frieren appears to have the magical equivalent of this weakness, but she never overcame it.

And since Frieren seems well aware of her deficiency, I can only assume that Flamme knew about it too. I can just imagine their training sessions and Flamme hammering it home: "STOP DROPPING YOUR MANA DETECTION!!!" Maybe that's why Frieren describes her as an "unpleasant person" in previous episodes.

[bonelrd]

That cold stare from Frieren though when she blocked....

[Sov-Ryn]

I wanted the mimic to be her weakness. Then everyone else would have been horrified in disbelief to watch this powerful final boss get cheesed by a mere mimic. It would have been foolproof.

[thatrabidpotato]

“Why didn’t you tell us about this?” Uh, why would anyone broadcast their own fatal vulnerability to the world?

[Tenraio]

Fern's "Quick Draw" is always scares me to the bone ...

[GranMaj]

I guess it make sense that Frieren battle style specialized for killing demons, which involved mana concealing her own mana and caught demons off guard, thats why demons call her a coward mage. Because demons are a prideful mages they tent to boast their magic and condemn stealth attack. So Frieren didn't really need to fixes her weakness since she doesn't need to for the majority of her lifes.

[AwesomeNinja]

The embarrassed look at the end. It makes Frieren cute.

[expojam]

I legit thought her weakness was gonna be mornings 😭 Like I for sure believed they’d just hang around until the double goes to sleep and can’t wake up 😂

[souaxiong]

When you realize Frieren and Anya is voiced by the same person :O

[charaxas]

Thats probably only a weakness if her opponent is near her level or if she has to fight multiple strong opponents at once. Even if Denken noticed it in his battle with her he could not use it to his advantage.

[thesenate]

Even if you manage to figure her weakness out, you’d have to overpower her first.

[martinhill]

Her kill count says otherwise. Only someone very close to her would be able to pick that up.

[renegadeoflife]

There are so few skilled mages in this chat. That split second loss of detection means that as soon as she casts her spell you lauch your counterattack, and she won't sense it quickly enough to block it. But to exploit it properly means you need 2 attackers, or someone capable of performing a near-doublecast in which a 2nd effect is produced during that brief gap while detection is off defending against the 1st.

[caomouse]

"I will fix that tomorrow"
But it will become a big problem when you have too many tomorrow in the bank 😂

[Anonymous-stvk]

She stops sensing mana while casting, but exploiting this weakness is still near impossible for anyone but the frieren and fern combo.

To exploit it, you need
1. A mage with very hard to detect presence, and one of, if not the fastest cast speed in the world.

2. A mage who can 1 v 1 frieren and keep her busy enough to lose track of the above mentioned mage.

3. Zoltraak, and knowledge that frieren cannot instinctively defend against zoltraak in this point of the story.

[_zeeblo]

I like to imagine that In an alternate universe Fern decapitated Frieren right then and there on accident
and everyone just looked at Fern in shock and disbelief

Fern just says "I thought she would've blocked it in time..."
