Ever since the Design Departnt completed the promised upgrade of the Riot, Venerable Orfan practically beca reborn at that point!
Just like how Venerable Tusa and Venerable Stark gained a substantial leap in combat strength after their expert chs beca at least 50 percent stronger, the Riot Version 2.0 was exactly what Venerable Orfan needed to better exert her combat potential.
The overall upgrades to the Riot's components and subcomponents allowed it to run smoother and more fluid than before.
Those were the easiest changes, though. It took a lot more to transform the Riot into a true offensive and defensive powerhouse.
To that end, Dulo Voiken and Tifi Coslone had tead up to reengineer the arms and other chanical aspects of the Riot to increase the strength and speeds of its spear attacks!
Though Ves often regarded Dulo Voiken as the most useless Journeyman of the Design Departnt, he happened to be extrely competent when he was working within his area of expertise.
Considering his deep love, passion and affinity for spearman chs, he even took over the responsibility of leading the upgrade project.
"I've always wanted to fix your Riot." Dulo plainly said as his expression grew a bit disgusted as he scanned the Riot in front of him. "No offensive, boss, but you and your wife don't really understand the finer points about spearman chs. Whenever I look at your Riot, I don't see a spearman ch. I see a swordsman ch that you have awkwardly modified in an attempt to improve its performance with spears. This is an unacceptable result in my opinion. An expert ch deserves better."
Ves did not mind being told that his work was bad. He was afraid that no one would criticize his design choices. If no one identified any problems, it beca a lot harder to improve his ch design any further!
"You're right, Dulo. I will leave this project in your hands. Feel free to set the direction of this upgrade project and gain ownership over the Riot. My only demands are that you must retain the original character of the Riot as much as possible while also respecting the wishes of Venerable Orfan."
Dulo confidently smiled while crossing his arms. "Expert ch or not, it is easy for to improve the Riot in many aspects. Just wait until I am done with it. Thank you for entrusting this upgrade project to , sir. It ans a lot to that you feel reassured with letting make decisions on an expert ch that originally belongs to you and your wife."
While Ves still cared about the Riot, he acknowledged that he and his wife weren't the best ch designers to care for it anymore.
Just like how Ketis marked the First Sword as her exclusive territory, it was not that bad of an idea to make a Journeyman who specialized in spearman chs responsible for continuing the developnt of the Riot.
It was only in the hands of a ch designer that was truly passionate about this ch type that the Riot would be able to maximize its potential as an expert ch!
Under Dulo Voiken's leadership, the Riot gained a new design direction that primarily focused on increasing all of its paraters while preserving what made it strong and special in the first place.
Aside from investing a substantial amount of design resources to improve its ability to launch stronger and faster spear attacks, the new Riot already gained a defensive makeover, courtesy of Dulo's sister.
The improvent to its armor system solved a weakness that had increasingly been weighing Venerable Orfan down.
With the new ExTrans Armor System, the Riot fully regained its ability to fight on even ground against the First Sword!
Though Venerable Dise's expert ch received its own enhancents, they were not as drastic as the Design Departnt did not opt to replace the First Sword's Unending alloy system. Sara Voiken rely optimized it so that it beca a bit more effective at doing its job.
The overall result of upgrading the Riot and the First Sword was that their differences had grown greater than before.
Previously, Ves did not fault people too much if they thought the two offensive lee chs perford almost identical to each other.
Even though Ves clearly knew that this wasn't the truth, it was hard for layn to understand all of the design choices that made the two different.
There shouldn't be any ambiguity anymore after both of them had been upgraded to their 2.0 versions.
The Riot improved in a way that pushed it deeper onto the path of frontline assaults. It could serve as the tip of the spear and could confidently fight against other powerful expert chs head-on by relying on its massively improved defensive capabilities!
Whenever the upgraded versions of the Riot and First Sword dueled against each other inside the simulated arenas of the MSTS, Venerable Orfan finally found it easier to cope with her friend and rival's sharp and penetrating sword techniques!
Unlike before where the First Sword could pierce straight through the Riot's original two-stage armor system with a single well-placed power attack, this ti the forr had to grind the expert spearman down over ti!
By utilizing the new ExTrans Armor System as a powerful damage sponge, Venerable Orfan beca a lot more capable of biting back by adopting a strategy of trading blows!
Of course, Ves didn't particularly approve of the destructive and wasteful fighting style that she developed to cope with powerful ch duelists.
"I know it is fun to pretend your expert ch is invincible while whacking away at an enemy expert ch, but our clan can't possibly sustain so much attrition." Ves warned her one day. "Don't forget that it is extrely troubleso to fabricate the transphasic armor plating. While I have already ordered additional quantities in order to facilitate repairs after a hard-fought battle, it is not worthwhile for us to stockpile an entire mountain's worth of redundant ch parts."
Venerable Orfan didn't take his words that seriously. "I will see what I can do, but… I would rather return from the battlefield with an expensive repair bill than let my enemies go free."
"...Just do your best to preserve the integrity of the ExTrans Armor System."
After spending many hours on familiarizing and mastering all of the changes of the Riot Version 2.0, Venerable Orfan finally had an opportunity to put her new capabilities to use on the battlefield!
From the mont the grand lee in the center began, Venerable Orfan and Venerable Dise had tead up with each other.
They had fought many duels against each other within the MSTS, but they had also fought thousands of simulated battles alongside each other.
The two complinted each other well.
The Riot excelled at frontal combat and was not afraid of taking hits.
The Second Sword was much faster at taking down opponents but wasn't great at taking blows.
As the pair of Larkinson expert chs began to approach the enemy lines, they hadn't encountered any Sundered Phalanx expert chs in the imdiate area.
"Hm. This is troubleso." Venerable Dise said. "The nearest detected enemy expert ch is too far away. If we leave this area, we will be exposing all nearby friendly troops to danger."
Venerable Orfan grinned. "There's no need for us to head to our targets. We can draw them over."
"How?"
"Isn't it obvious? Kill as many enemy chs as possible!"
Venerable Orfan and the Riot began to resonate to a greater degree as they both beca excited at the slaughter that they intended to commit against their foes!
Unlike so expert pilots, Rosa Orfan had no qualms about bullying the weak. The battlefield was inherently cruel. As a forr ch officer of the Flagrant Vandals, she adhered to the philosophy that any ans should be used to win a battle!
With that excuse in mind, Venerable Orfan laughed as her powerful glowing orange expert spearman ch crashed into the defensive lines of the 2003rd dallion Guards ch Division!
While the dallion Guards had earned a lot of achievents during the Komodo War, it wasn't actually among the strongest enemy ch divisions in the field.
Their chs were still based on outdated models that adequately fulfilled their purpose during the Komodo War but fell a bit short in an environnt such as the Red Ocean.
However, as long as the dallion Guard chs relied on their thick and sturdy chs to hold the line like the more well-equipped Pima Defenders ch Division, the old but reliable defensive chs could still hold back the ch units of Hex Army!
If no one else intervened on this part of the battlefield, the two sides would have probably grinded each other down at a relatively glacial pace.
The violent entry of the Riot changed all of that at once!
It did not even need to resort to its spear to destroy the dallion Guard chs. Just crashing into them with the help of the Riot's powerful and violent resonance shield was enough to shock them into disability!
"Hahahaha! Your chs are as fragile as dolls! Co fight , Fridayn!"
The veteran ch pilots of the dallion Guards weren't foolish enough to gang up on the Riot.
They quickly attempted to distance their machines from the opposing expert spearman ch in order to limit the damage, but the problem was that their relatively slow defensive machines had no chance of outrunning an expert ch that had beco even faster after receiving an upgrade to its flight system!
The Fridayman ch pilots that were closest to the Riot had the illusion that they weren't fighting against an expert ch, but instead got in the way of a massive, primal warbeast!
"Monster! It's a monster!"
"Don't try to stand in its way!"
"Eject! Eject as early as possible! Don't throw your lives away!"
One of the strangest aspects about the Riot was that its design spirit was Qilanxo. This was an unusual choice given that it was an offensive lee ch, but Qilanxo was not a cuddly little lizard that only knew how to protect.
When combined with the Riot and under the purposeful developnt of Venerable Orfan, Qilanxo's aura had slowly morphed and mutated into a more primal and aggressive variation.
As Venerable Orfan beca increasingly more imrsed in the slaughter that she was committing, her mind and will achieved an even greater state of resonance with Qilanxo!
The shadow of a giant lizard briefly flickered behind the Riot as it continued to demolish at least half-a-dozen regular chs with each passing second.
The glow and resonance shield surrounding the Riot grew more aggressive and violent as it seed as if the expert pilot and expert ch had transford into the personification of an exobeast!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Venerable Orfan's only regret was that she didn't excel at mass destruction. The Riot's killing efficiency was a bit low compared to nurous other Larkinson expert chs.
Unlike Venerable Dise, Venerable Orfan had not developed any fancy spear techniques that allowed her to throw out wide-area energy attacks. Charging her Riot forward and colliding against packed enemy ch formations was the only way for her to cause enough damage to completely disarray the dallion Guards.
Her efforts were creating the desired effect. It only took a single minute of charging through the enemy defensive lines that hundreds of dallion Guard chs had fallen, which also implicated the formations of thousands of other Fridayman chs!
This was the horror of an expert ch when left unopposed by an opponent that was at least close to its level.
Through the advantages created by the Riot, the Hexer chs that had previously entered into a stalemate against the dallion Guards were now gaining a massive advantage!
It wasn't until the Riot crushed another enemy ch company that a powerful resonance-enhanced gauss round collided against the rampaging Larkinson expert ch!
"Hah! We've caught a big fish this ti!"
The Sundered Phalanx hadn't dispatched any of its low-tier or mid-tier expert chs to reinforce the dallion Guards.
Instead, the Fridayn directly sent over one of their rare but powerful high-tier expert chs, one that originally hailed from the dallion Guards!
Venerable Orfan instantly recognized the powerful expert hybrid ch that sought to end her killing spree.
She smirked. "I've been waiting for you, Shockshell."
