CHALLENGER -- Round 3
[Realism]
+ 1| Defense: Taking Midas' hooves to the rump.
+ 1| Coughing and spluttering because of the dust that rose from Ricochet's magic.
+ 1| Attack: Horn ram at Madyrn.
- 1| Defense: Madyrn threw three attacks at Lloyd, a bite, ram, and a kick. To me it is very unrealistic that Lloyd would be able to defend all three attacks by only turning slightly left.
+ 1| Attack: Hoof attack to Ricochet's hocks.
- 1| Attack: Bucking at Rico's stomach. This doesn't make sense to me because Lloyd is positioned behind Ricochet. The way you write the attack is that when Lloyd comes down he spins and bucks at Rico. You're assuming that Ricochet is going to turn around and assuming in a battle is dangerous.

CHALLENGER -- Round 4
[Realism]
+ 1| Attack: Biting at Guns.
- 1| Defense: How did Lloyd not get hit by any of Midas' attacks? Again there were multiple attacks thrown at Lloyd and there was no mention of any of them. I understand that Lucius used his magic to bring Midas down, but Midas was still attacking Lloyd. It is very, very unrealistic for so many attacks to miss especially with Lloyd being as big and slow moving as he is. Please be more careful with this.
+ 1| Attack: Head thrash to cut Midas' legs.
+ 1| Attack: Biting at Midas and attempting to pull him down if he remains hovering.

Comments: Overall Lloyd was an interesting read and I think you have a fairly good grasp on your attacks. Defense wise was a bit lacking because Lloyd took very few hits in the fight. At one point all of Madyrn and Midas' attacks missed which is highly unlikely and unrealistic. I think you're getting there, just work on how to take attacks rather than disreagrd them completely.

Comments: Lucius was fun to read, I think you've grasped his character very well. I especially love how he's a bull and lives up to his name by charging with his horns and running everything down. Also loved his stop, drop, and roll response to Aaron's fire. The only thing to note is that sometimes your paragraphs could be a little choppy and it affected the flow a little. Other than that good job!

CHALLENGER -- Round 2
[Realism]
+ 1| Attack: Horn charge at Aaron.
0 | Attack: Kicking at Aaron's hind legs. This attack was a little confusing to me because the way the previous attack was described you made it sound as though she were approaching from the rear. "Flank to chest." You also say that her horns had been aimed directly at Aaron's side, but there is no mention of her turning in any direction to make the attack fit in more cohesively.

Comments: Korra was great fun to read and in every one of her posts it was so easy for me to envision her as this little machine just tearing up the battlefield. There were just a few hiccups with positioning that left me wondering but after I re-read I understood what you were going for. Overall it was a great fight.

Comments: I feel like you took unnecessary damage from Paladin's horn scrape. Emotion was there in your posts, but sometimes the posts didn't flow very easily and made it a little confusing. I think it was a great first try, especially during something as chaotic as an invasion. In the future to increase your scores I would recommend attacking more often and attacking multiple targets.

[Realism]
+ 1| ATTACK: ramming Lace's leg as he's rearing.
- 1| Charging forward after: you should always allow your opponent full ability to defend themselves, and unfortunately that means not retreating before they can respond to your actions.
-2| ATTACK: ramming at Azzuen. You have much in this post which forces Azzuen to take the attack you have dealt at him, making it pretty strong powerplay. The recoil should come in your next post, if and when Azzuen describes the ram hitting his hock.

0 | I'm not going to count off for this because it does not effect the fight, but I wanted you to note that losing a sense does not make the others stronger. They are the same, though you may begin to realize just how much you rely on them without thinking! :)
