Jane Doe - A Tasteful Finish

The tension crackled in the air thicker than the neon glow emanating from New Eridu's underbelly. Tonight, we were gunning for the fabled S-rank on Stage 7 of Shiyu Defense. The clock ticked down, a taunting reminder of the countless attempts that had fallen short. We weren't casuals, mind you. We were Hollow-slaying veterans, our fingers a blur on controllers, our team builds meticulously crafted. But Stage 7 was a different beast.

Team 1: Ether Annihilation
My gaze flicked to my first team composition. Zhu Yuan, the undisputed queen of Ether damage, stood at the forefront, her ethereal katana crackling with latent energy. Behind her, Nicole, her trusty Ether support, amplifying Zhu Yuan's attacks while keeping her defenses high. Lycaon, our resident ice-wielding butler, was admittedly an unorthodox choice. We lacked a better stunner, but Lycaon's icy chains would have to do. Rounding out the team was Resonaboo, another Ether powerhouse, ready to unleash a torrent of elemental energy. The enemy composition tonight? Vulnerable to Ether, naturally, but with a nasty resistance to physical attacks. Classic brute force wouldn't fly.

Team 2: Physical Fury
Next, I surveyed my second team. There, standing tall, was Jane Doe, our physical anomaly powerhouse. This woman was a walking singularity, warping reality itself with devastating punches and kicks. She was the MVP, no doubt. Seth, the electric defender, flanked her at a lower level - his damage output was negligible for this fight, but his defensive buffs were good for Jane Doe. Completing the team was Nekomata, the cat-eared saboteur. And the Bangvolver. While her physical damage wouldn't be a major contributor, she was here for a different reason: synergy. Her physical attacks allowed the Bangvolver to trigger its full potential, unleashing a devastating physical barrage. The enemy this time favored both physical and fire attacks, with a disdain for ice. We planned to counter with raw power and strategic bursts of Jane Doe's anomaly manipulation.

The Dance of Destruction
With a shared nod of determination, we initiated the mission. Team 1 blitzed onto the battlefield. Zhu Yuan, guided by Nicole's support buffs, sliced through the enemy hordes with the grace of a deadly ballerina. Lycaon's ice chains, though not ideal, provided a precious few seconds of reprieve, allowing Resonaboo to unleash a torrent of Ether blasts, further thinning the enemy ranks. It was a strategic ballet of offense and minimal disruption.

Team 2 was a different story. Jane Doe waded into the fray, a whirlwind of fists and gravity manipulation. Enemies bounced and crumpled around her, her sheer force overwhelming their defenses. Seth, like a loyal knight, drew fire and channeled his electrical energy to shield Jane from the most brutal attacks. Nekomata danced on the periphery, her shots mere triggers for the Bangvolver's thunderous roars. The Bangvolver, fueled by Nekomata's physical prowess, transformed into a monstrous cannon, spitting bullets with unyielding ferocity.

A Sliver of Victory
The final wave crashed against us. Zhu Yuan's bullets danced in a flurry, deflecting and cutting with precision. Resonaboo unleashed his ultimate, a swirling vortex of Ether that sucked in the remaining enemies. The air vibrated with energy and the stench of burnt metal. On the other side, Jane Doe stood, battered but unbroken, the last enemy dissolving into a wisp of smoke. The timer blinked red. We had done it. A collective sigh of relief escaped our lips, tinged with the sweet taste of victory. S-rank achieved. We had conquered the beast that was Stage 7.
