Is the Stats point accurate/independent from Augment ability? considering Pele’s stats are the lowest among the Fable, i miss the previous version where you gets description for each point you increase in the Stats.

After seeing posts about Arthur just clapping people, i had to go back and play lose control route. :sweat_smile: Though, someone said we almost killed Suma 10 times. Which is not right, maybe 2-3 for her. She actually managed to tank a slash from Exaclibur.

It was Atilla who gets absolutely bullied. What’s a bummer, is no other MC Fable will get the option to beat them up there. Since Arthur only does cause of the sword. Which is a BUMMER. Cause doing that with Pele or Ishtar would have been FUN. Probaby with Luci too.

Then again, Pele only has to go from 0-100 in a second, and atomizes half a city.

So, it seems like if you want the route that will give you choices to beat up your allies, go Arthur! :sweat_smile:

Pele would had lost easily in that situation because of the water dude and the fact that he could manipulate snow and possibly had turned it into water.

I could see Wukong doing nearly as good as snapped Arthur though since Wukong could go apeshit back in Edmonton

Not really. Wukong is still limited because Buddha said having a fraction of his power is still a curse just like the limiter. We still have to see the side effects of what it could cause to Wukong later

Never played the route where you fight the praetors and the rest of the crew, but I imagine Zeus might be a tough match for them as well.

All Zeus would have to do is use that trick they used against Timur. I imagine the only ones who might be able to stand against it would be Sumairah. And even then I doubt she would come out unscathed.

Janus might be trouble for them too seeing as how they can just stop time and easily kill/knockout most of them out, including that healer.

Wukong might actually be terrifying considering their limiter is gone.

I see Luci as a toss up frankly. They might be able to hijack that many people’s minds but as we saw with the ruby praetor that doesn’t always work. And using that much of their power that quickly could end badly for them even if they win.

So, I’d like to make one thing slightly clear. Where as i can’t speak for the series and how it would mash them up. I can speak for a realistic view.

If the fight had taken place as Pele instead of Arthur, meaning in the exact same way. Pele getting called a coward and going full throttle, everyone there except MAYBE Suma ((Im honestly not sure how durable she actually is)) would have been dead. The fight didnt start outside in the snowy weather, it started INSIDE. And quite abruptly i might add, and was SO FAST Atilla couldnt react in time to Arthur’s approach.

Pele even says, she only went full throttle for a single second and it atomized the Clouded and the city. I like what if’s and possible fight outcomes; but they lose to Pele. Thats just how instant heat to the earths core works. Now, there was the teleporter. Who you would think could MAYBE do something. But, they didnt react in time either to a suprise attack on Atilla.

One more nifty thing ((from a more science point of view i guess?)) Pele’s water weakness is only a weakness if it gets to her before she lets loose. Unless the water starts to magically start ignoring evaporation?

Cant say Pele wins in any fight, but she would win in THIS specific encounter if it was them and not Arthur.

What did Zeus do to Timur? Do they have a scene in their route that the others dont? I admittedly havent done Zeus’s route much.

As for Janus…the time stop seems amazing, i admit that. But its a once a day thing, and weren’t they almost exhausted after doing it in just the 2v1 in the clouded and dawn skirmish? Not to mention they have to clap their hands to do it, and the Dawn knows this sign ((though, probably not what Janus actually did at the time. Since they just saw the clap and then Clouded either die, get wrecked or Janus just vanish)) Though, i suppose Janus could just like secretly low-five themselves under the table? Would be a cool fight though.

Wukong is a weird mash up? Their limiter is indeed off, but! If you line up the moment where it gets released to where this fight would happen. It would only be MAYBE a few days in between. Dunno if they’d have to readjust, especially since they sorta got some of Sid’s power now crammed into them.

Luci here, i get the coin toss. Due to the mental hijack. But, this was only a factor with the “invasion” aspect of it, where you sorta locked them up and tortured them in a prison of their trauma. The nerve function still worked on Amber! Now, i can’t be as confident with Luci as i can with Pele ((since Pele is mainly just science)) and we haven’t seen Luci really put in any effort. The time it took for him to immobilize Dawn and handle Clouded was only a few seconds. With the way its written, it seems like both of their situations happened almost instantly even if there were multiple scenes with each one ((maybe time flows different when in their concious? Kinda like how you can fall asleep and feel like you instantly wake up despite it being like 7-8 hours later)).

I think we’d need to see more of Luci fighting to be able to confidently say yay or nay on them here. I’m leaning more towards ‘yay’, because they simply say they can effect the nerves. So im assuming this means the entire nervous system, which explains why we can shut down limb function. SOOOOO, with that in mind, you can pretty much shut down all their senses, make them unable to use all their limbs and they’d just be there. Floating in their own darkness with no sight sounds or touch, while Luci does what ever hes gotta do.

This right here is why Zeus is a close second to Luci for my favorite fables. Zeus doesn’t even have to be on the same continent as you if they wanted to kill you. They just need the location.

thanks for spoiler… blur it please

Sorry, didn’t know how to spoiler (never had to here before) plus this update has been out forever so I didn’t think it would be a surprise to those who’ve been following this thread.

Where about does this happen in the demo? Kinda interested in playing the Zeus route just to go find it, and does any scene like this happen for any of the other fable MC’s?

Just Zeus as far as I know, and the scene is in chapter 3 towards the end.

I hope author is well. Anyway Pele lovers are so cult like in proving Pele is more powerful. I noticed every chat is about how powerful Pele is. I thought there was an update, turns out it was just the usual Pele riding.

Not riding if its just scientifically powerful. You know what else causes things to just burn away? Atom Bombs ((the newer ones, where nuclear fallout isnt really a thing anymore)).

I personally like Ishtar, cause the writer makes them sound graceful while flying. And she collides with a guy at her fastest speed, so mach 4. :sweat_smile: Kinda wish we’d see more of her potions coming up, or her interactions with nature.

Zeus after finally reading the strike on Timur is really catching my interest, since it said each bolt they brought down was the size of a football field.

But, yeah. Rolling up with typical “Just ((insert character name here)) riding” is meh. Be productive, say something that makes your favorite cool, since each of them have something.

You just proved them right in your first sentence. We all know how powerful pele is. Mf is a nuclear bomb, we’re all clear on that. The same points get recycled over and over again to prove pele is more powerful than x or y so it’s probably disheartening for some people to come here and it’s just more “pele is powerful” talk.

Like damn, someone hit me with some pele oc backstory set before they got back the bracers or something. Just not another “this is why pele is stronger” convo, gimme some new material man.

Dont they mention why she made them? It isnt in a lot of detail like how the other mementos are gotten, but it was while staying in the villages and learning crafts.

And i dont know why it would be disheartening. She’s a bomb, oh well. “Power” comes in tons of forms, hers is the most “basic”, but she has a crazy amount of it. Her melee combat is kinda funny, though. But yeah, aside from when she’s using magma and molding it ((which is kinda cool)) and her bracers, shes the picture of brute force.

All the fables are wacky and powerful in their own right, if they were all bomb like powers it’d be boooring. Lucifer can turn anyone into an invalid, Wukong is the definition of adapable, and thats without using the staff and his new laser eyes.

Janus can use the build up of kinetic force paused in motion before starting time and letting it all blast at once. Which, btw. Thank gosh they dont have crazy superman strength ((though obviously theirs isnt normal)), and have a limit to once a day; or else I’d honestly tie this with first. What he did to Charles is a prime example why. Imagine being able to spam that as much as they want. :sweat_smile:

Arthur pretty much solos his entire team before the end of the demo. His senses becoming more interesting, since in that match it says that when he focuses everything almost seemed to come to a stop. Excalibur becoming a little inconsistent, though.

Ishtar can drag people to SPACE. Well. She cant exactly, but makes me wonder if she went to her max height and gave a full power hit, could she knock a person out there? And like Wukong shes mentioned to have picked up on tons of fighting styles. Plus POTIONS.

Now! To do the opposite to Pele. So, she has that bomb like explosion and her miniature sun. But this is against “normal” augmented. And even they stated that Timur gave pretty much zero fricks when they were trying their hardest. :thinking: For now, i think Pele probably seems like the strongest because we havent seen the penalty for her going full throttle yet.

It was mentioned very briefly, but after it it caused her to become more sluggish as it sapped a lot of her heat; since she put it into the attack. The question is, can she put TOO MUCH into it and kinda go into hibernation or just stop functioning? DUNNO YET, CAUSE WEVE ONLY SEEN ONE MASH UP.

TL;DR: They’re all nuts if you think creatively. Pele is only “strongest” in power output. Which who knows, once we learn more, she may be dethroned.

While I’m not going to weigh in on the which fable is stronger argument (it’s been done to death) I will say this in regards to Pele. They probably have the funniest way to deal with the clouded praetor IMO.
