Ketis developed the Monster Slayer concept after vanquishing a transformed cultist during the Nyxian Gap Campaign.
Though her strength and performance back then paled in comparison to what she was capable of after her breakthrough, she vividly remembered the rush of emotions she felt back then. Her desperation, her frustration at her lack of strength, her unwillingness to allow herself and her fellow Swordmaidens to be defeated by a religious weirdo and her supreme exultation after achieving victory had all brought her closer to her swordsmanship.
If not for experiencing this difficult battle, Ketis believed she wouldn't have been able to make as much gains in her trip to the Heavensword Association!
After the Battle of Ulimo Citadel, Ketis fleshed out her initial ideas and developed an elaborate draft of a landbound swordsman mech that could replicate the fight approach that she adopted at the time.
