>>5179433Yeah I can see it from that POV. A few people have said the story goes at a little of a breakneck pace at times so I might have to give some more fighting experience to Vlad which doesn't involve fighting someone 10 times his power level. Or not, he does have a prettty high bar to achieve. Those punches he got from sparring with gargoyles at the swamp probably made him a bit more resilient than the average man, just not on the level of Guts. Maybe sparring with him a few times would be beneficial to both of you? He'll probably get more from that than doing it by himself or with a miniature elf.
>>5179453>So Barnham is basically our pal right? Or at least as friendly as an Apostle can be?I'd say so. Part of him was impressed by your philosophy winning against his in his own terms, even if he handicapped himself by extending the fight. The other part of him is resisting the urge to swallow you to absorb your strength in his. Both of them acknowledging his potential to grow beyond Barnham himself.
>Assuming he doesn't die out in Wyndham, what's the likelyhood of Vlad and him meeting up again?Very likely, although Griffith might catch up to him first...
>Will there be any possibility of picking up anything new, or improving something before/during shitshow to come, or are we going in raw?For the ceremony? You have a little bit of wiggle room to approach it from any angle you wish, buy I don't think you'll discover anything outside of your kit for now.
>Is it possible to get some nature powers due to being 1/4th's plant, or is that overshadowed and middling compaired to being technically an elf?Very possible, Sivir already told you going for the physical build only will not get you far given the stats you were born with, so experimenting with your powers will be very fruitful.
Speeding over your enemies and zoning them while the purifying Od transfer does the job for you seems to be the best functioning strategy against apostles for now, maybe if you could find a way to make it work like actual venom?
