Headcannons?? of Saphirs fight style and opponent analysis featuring sparring buddy @team-snst Tango Rosei uwu because i had feels and here are teh feels, i dont think i have thought much but aaaa these are good exercises.
First off is the way Saphir does in fights?
Sadly she spars with the fighter class she isnt good at dealing with which are the brute force types, and this one is FAST, Even she has experience with this type through Rusty and Emeraude (her mentor and longest training partner are attackers using blunt force), her main role is a mage with supportive/healing abilities, therefor Rusty train her to become fast and agile at dodging, if not, its her own semblance and dust knowledge to help her through the fight.
and so the wild chase begins uu
most of Saphirs technique is using wind dust and her fans to glide away and move faster around the battle field (she so pretty and u cant catch her >:Y), but if the distance is getting too close, she still have a few tricks to fight back, by holding on the side of the fan, she can flick it open allowing the other side knock back the attack, or covered in ice dust, it can be strong enough to use as a temporary shield, two useful ways when dosent have the distance to use just fan them away.
Using her weapons as dual knives and one hidden form to attack is a rare moment of her choice, since before sTAR , Emeraude is always pair up with her to protect her in fights, so Saphirs solo combat skill is still on an unknown level(she lacks the experience compared to most students in here).
Overall Saphirs strong point is actually her stamina and endurance of keep on dodging/self heal with semblance/dusts support until help arrives or the opponent tires out.
and when Tango tires out they call it a end , get clean and then go get snacks uu
