Éliane grinned viciously as her trick found its mark, aided by Esben’s own shot. Of course, she had hardly expected it to end the battle in one single explosion, and it didn’t, but seeing the damage brought her a moment of satisfaction regardless as the rest of the Kirins followed in to dogpile the barbarian officer. 

Unfortunately, they didn’t prove enough of a distraction for him not to notice Miina and Chisato trying to get past him. Time was ticking.
“My time to support!”

Reloading after she disengaged, the pink-haired Skaelan immediately moved back in to support Izayoi as she made to strike. Éliane didn’t have any lightning aspected attacks or materia, but she could certainly keep Garland occupied for the rest of them to complete the combo, so she simply unloaded right into him again, paced in a way that forced him to block her attacks again instead of advancing again. With retort after retort, each shot went off as she continued to move, zigzagging to avoid any potential spells if her timing was poor.
