Emir surveyed the group of eight advancing toward him.
In slowed time, he began to identify their roles and specializations, preparing himself for the confrontation that lay ahead.
The two knights in the front marched forward with their imposing shields, covering themselves from chest to toe.
"Hm. Not bad…"
Emir figured that they would try to create a solid defense while the others would attack from behind.
It was a sound strategy, but he was no stranger to battling Knights.
As they further closed the distance, Emir focused on the three individuals in the rear, those who appeared to be Technomancers or Gun Specialists.
They were the ones who had the potential to provide long-range support and control over the fight.
Emir's plan was then made clear: eliminate them first.
'But I'd have to get through those knights...'
'I guess Flash Step would do.'
