But that's offtopic🙂
aye, he is, a nemesis of any who know spells it would be incredibly powerful, although its bound to be limited, otherwise he could just breath on kil'jaeden and take all his magic if that were the case but yeh its a pretty uber dragon, prob my fave of the dragon flights
I think Illidan might be one of the larger worries for Kain, after reading some about him hmm
It took the 25 players the hour and a strategy that matters in seconds or second of detail from 100% > 30% which is the point where Maiev comes in to save the day 😛
That being after the players has wiped a high number of times and learnt from their misstakes. Since Illidan knows all magic, that makes Kain as reachable for him as an open book while Illidan remains a mystery to Kain 😄
not really, Kain has the ability of telepathy and mind reading without the mind emblem, with the mind emblem he has the power of the very element of mind powers at his disposal through the pillars, so he could read Illidan just as likely as Illidan reads him, not to menstion more than just magic, illidan can only see magic, doesnt mean he can use all magic, as it says Sarg gives him the those glowing eyes beneath his blindfold that can see magic, but kain will see illidans weakenesses, skills and such.
i would class pyron and the brothers Kains biggest threat, Illidan will not be too difficult
Dante in Super Sparda form is pretty much Illidan's equal if not superior. Instead of Illidan's dual blades he uses energy swords coming out of his hands with pretty desent reach, though.
Though Illidan probably gives Kain more trouble than Pyron, but that's just because I'm not too much in Darkstalkers.
okie this is how i think the battle will go.
Kain sits on his throne on the balance pillar, clutching the reaver with one hand as the he sees the large group moving towards him, he gets to his feet and stands for a moment, his wings spread as the hoste of powerful entities come before him, Pyron glowing with cosmic energies, grinning with the lust of destroying kain, Dante arrogently strolling and yawning and cracking off some of his jokes which merely anger his brother Vergil who is not amused at the slightest, the host of Diablo heroes are prepared, their engima shining, a BOTD blade in each of the barbarians hands, a bow of the same runes powered up in the amazons, the Druids magical energies crackling. Illidan spreading his own wings, MC loading powering the fuel Rod in his hands. Cloud and Sephiroth take sneering looks at eachother but realise their foe is before them and as they decided before the battle to put aside their diffrences for now, they take a battle stance, Ryu soon joining them..then it begins.
Instantly Dante beats Kain to time manipulation, fires up his Devil Trigger sparda form and flashes towards Kain, with a great pairing blast of energies Kain is sent flying into the air, the others all frozen as if they were simply carvings etched into the air as Dante lets loose his powers sending energy blasts and slashing him with his sword, Kain is unharmed however, his flesh simply not breaking with every blast however kains body is launched yet suddenly the time powers stop and kain spreads his wings in midflight, Dante flashing after him as a blur. The Amazon launches a great volley of freezing arrows, guiding, while the druids elemental spirits form and he lets loose arcing beams of frost from one hand and fire from another at the vampire lord. Illidan takes to the skies, letting loose beams of dark energy, Pyron moving ahead of him, soon catching up with Dante his hands arrayed forwards lauching streaks of cosmic light. Ryu calling upon the Devil incarnate..Vergil joining his brother in a flash of devil energy and then teleporting behind kain just as the fuel Rod blasts forth a heated orb of energy but they are all too late, Pyrons Cosmic beams, MC's plasma burst...the Amazon and druids attacks as well as Illidans all slow as the light of Kains reaver turns to a light blue as do the eyes of the skull of his weapon, time slows down to a crawl, projectiles move hundreds if not thousands of times slower as kain mockinly sneers, it was now Kains turn to play with time.
He looks behind him to see Nelo Angelo, a visage of being insulted goes across kains face before he swings the reaver through to the Neck of the son of sparda, the light of the soul reaver flashes as the blade blasts the head from the shoulders, the soul energies letting out light from the blad then writhing as the soul of Nelo is devoured, quickly kain looks around and smiles and with little concentration a soul blast pours forth from his sword ripping the bodies of the Druid, barbarian and then Amazon, their flesh blasted from their disintegrating bones, their powerful runic armour not empowered with protection of their souls. Instantly he teleports before the Sorceress, a look of confidence on her face..however it would not avail her as kain sends his two clawed fingers through her eyes and monstrous pulls her head aside, sticking his fangs into her neck and drinking for the enjoyment, quickly she is completly dry and when time is back to normal once more she would be seen dropping ghost white to the ground. Pyron he looks across to next, he could see the beings mind, it had no brain it was true but its conciousness and its awareness was so great that kain could not help but see its thoughts, with a crackle of energy the reaver glows with rays of light, the energy emblem flashing, with a movment of Kains hand Pyron is pushed into an orb of energy, quickly his body is compounded into the tiniest of specks, the states emblem flashing next and in combination with his energy manipulation condenses pyron, changing his energy state from Cosmic into diffrent forms such as light, heat turning him to nothing. he knows his time powers are running short and as a quick movement with his hands he Telekinetically chains Dante and Ryu before reaving MC's soul...then time powers end...then the battle once again continues in full force and rage, Kain grins as he takes flight and spreads his wings with his sword prepared for his foes.
after time battle
Kain laughs mockingly, keeping Dante chained in telekinetic shackles, Dantes brovado still not failing however yet his demonic form is slowly weakening as his DT energy weakens.
Ryu due to the time powers never was able to call upon the powers of his sword, stuck in the shackles, he was at kains mercy.
Kratos leaps and fires a full powered beam of Gorgans stare at Kain...kain laughs, his Aegis spell coming into effect and launching the beam back at Kratos, who is turned to rock, Kain clicks his fingers and with a blast of focused TK the rock is shattered. yet Kratos alive inside is fee and runs at Kain who sneers, with another hand movement Kratos drops to the floor, catatonic and dribbling from him mouth..
Cloud and Sephiroth suddenly found their rage and anger towards eachother swelling, the conflict emblem on kains sword glowing and the reaver powered with it the pair battle, leaving kain to one last foe.
However illidan was still strong and kains Telekinetic ability even enhanced by the mind emblem could not hold any more in shackles, launching himself, speeding at Kain he clashes with Kain, sticking his blades into the vampire, kain grins as his body becomes ethereal and turns to mist passing through illidan, angered illidan takes quickly to the skies, letting loose beams from his eyes while a beam of darkness and one of fire from his hands into the mist quickly apporaching him, the fire simply condensing the mist and soon the cloud of mists forming forms into one point and kain appears, his eyes narrow as he teleports behind illidan, illidan is just fast enough to clash, his strength and kains pushing for control of the situation before kain quickly dispurses into mist form and reforms, wih a will of TK illidans blades of Azzinoth are sent from him falling to the ground, as a blur he moves to them but the distance he cannot cover in time, and is unable to stop himself as kain materilises from his teleportation and Illidan falls upon the reaver, the blast of energy ripping open his chest, his soul devoured into the blade.
Cloud and Sephiroth battle had ended, Cloud laying bloodied on the floor, Sephiroths long edge through his head....however Sephiroth exausted and unaware as suddenly the conflicts magic had ended, he turns but is too late, kain waves his hand and Sephiroth is frozen stiff, unable to move....Kain mockingly walks towards him, and then in a sudden movement Sephiroths broken souless body is lieing, the reavers ravenous spirit inside feeding upon Sephiroths essence.
Kain turns and sneers as he so often does, he walks slowly to the struggling Ryu, however his strength means nothing to the shackles and in this awkward position he cannot excert strength to his arms...kain is barely amused as he soul deaths Ryu, who drops lifeless to the ground
Finally there is Dante, Definant, angry yet still calling insults and jeering at kain as the vampire lord walks towards him, Dante being stuck in the shackles, the same position, his demon strength in this awkward position meant he could not barely move...kain reaches inside his coat and takes out a small orb of yellow light, glowing and floating atop kains hand, he sends its power into Vergil...reviving him, weakened but alive Vergil teleports before kain but is too late as he is Tked to the floor, the conflict emblem flashing once again, Kain grins, sits back in his throne and watches, as the emblems power forces the two brothers into a mad rage against eachother, they battle.
Kain Laughs, knowing that within a movement he could kill either of them and they were under his power, he sat into his throne...he smiled to himself before calling "Vae Victas"....."Woe to the conquered"

😉 yeh i had to split it in two otherwise it woud prob say that annoying "too many figuires" or something it said
Nelo is mistranslation, by the way.
Also I'm going to play the last battle with Arkham in Quicksilver style, to see, whether Dante freezes in time his allies as well or he can select what to freeze and what not. Though that doesn't matter in terms of eventual outcome.
it would simply be gameplay, as we see with all episodes of use of QS the time lapse wave comes out as an orb from Dante freezing everything, not coming out and hitting seperate beings its unlikely he would be able to freeze just kain since the whole world stops in all instances of dante using it.
and yes Nero isnt it, nvm, i just always called him Nelo Angelo for some reason *shrug*

Maybe, but...anyways, that doesn't matter on eventual outcome (though in DMC2 your time manipulation powers with Chronoheart only freeze your enemies in time (so he probably eventually mastered that power for more sophisticated use since DMC2 is the last game chronologically, so who knows).

indeed, but once again thats gameplay, in gameplay a lot of odd things happen against the rules of the objects at hand, i cant remember but do you ever have allies in DMC2?
There's no pair missions. In DMC3 Dante just creates time anomaly, affecting anyone...though Vergil as Nero Angelo was imprevious to stasis attack, so Vergil being immune to Quicksilver in DMC3 might be because of him sharing the same demonic legacy as Dante, being his twin.
So it might be not only gameplay, but again, that's true only in terms of Vergil (so brothers can launch tagteam attack on timefrozen Kain at the beginning). But if full evolved Kain durability is THAT great as you state it, that wouldn't matter much).
i think my battle is quite sound the way it could go, Elder Kain can only be harmed by the reaver, especially killed, wether that means no other weapon can cut him, or no other weapon can cause permanent damage and kain just reforms its unkown, only the fact only the reaver...since this is Evolved kain beyond the kain we actually see then he would have even greater endurance. Once kain triggers off his Time powers however you see what happens, its not neccerily true Dante would definatley QS before Kain can time reaver.
how is Vergil known to be immune to QS? i didnt think they ever use it on eachother, especially as Nero Angelo, you dont have time powers in DMC 1 from what i remember...

That can still be speculation (I'll try to play mission with Arkham in Quicksilver style- I've never tried that), but the fact is that adult Dante in DMC2 (who has discovered his true power as high demonic lord) seems to have more precise aim with his time manipulation powers than young Dante in DMC3 who just freezes everything in time in certain radius around himself.
