The Ordeal of the Dusk, as unpredictable and dangerous as it always was, felt significantly less chaotic this time around.
Though, it was probably because I was no longer needed in that aforementioned chaos.
Now, the bastion, bolstered by the addition of the Duolos and their hive mind efficiency, operated with a precision that was almost mechanical, yet distinctly alive.
Unlike before, where every encounter demanded full attention and coordination of the bastioneers and the equally newly introduced Heavenly Maids, the Duolos really did handle a vast majority of the threats with startling ease.
Obviously, the Warpiece Drone was equally instrumental in tipping the scales of this Ordeal. Any Calamity Object that could be conceptualized as destructible by physical means met its end in seconds, torn apart by the Drone's sheer firepower and adaptability.
