[quote=@yoshua171] Combined with the "assimilating," bit is fine I guess, but the problem with it is Raelis can feel the ground. So he'd know if it were still covered in slime at least within 8 meters. So my whole maneuver would not have been viable to begin with so he'd have never used it. It's not like he can't tell the difference between air and slime with his claws or just by the sensation of the ground under his feet. Also, you just failed to address the fact that your nanites still should be unable to tear apart his armor. It's covered in layer upon layer of microscopic nanites. There are enough layers of them that they all reinforce one another by rebuilding themselves and replicating repeatedly. I've been doing that since my second post so if only by virtue of that defensive measure having 6 preps on it, and your mibs striking at the defense having no preps it should not work. The measure was designed to slow down his mibs and help defend against your blades somewhat as well. If it's alright, I'll be editing the ice bit out of my previous post since it's not even viable to begin with (no slime=no possibility for ice). Also, I am going to be refuting your nanites assimilating the armor plates due to the aforementioned reasons in my next post. Which I will be writing shortly. Any questions? EDIT: What's Tablurath's mask made of? [/quote] Yes, that's my fault, I should have kept up to date with what the mibs are doing to the ground, but there are allot of stuff to consider in a match like this. :K As for the armor, in that case I suppose even separated it should be fine in regards to being broken down. Also I always understood someone could only prep one ability at a time, then use a none ability to attack with while prepping. But I'm not really sure on that so I'll ask [@Skallagrim] since overall that's very handy information to know. By mibs I imagine you mean his swords. Edit: Different substances, mostly synthetic fibers, metal, and reinforced glass over the visors. It's toughness would probably be around Kevlar.
