Lactoes (Chapter)

IntroLactoes is one of the most terrifying Knights in all of Empire history. Most of his fighting career he only focused on using a single katana. It gave him excellent foundations that he had later used to venture into light-red weaponry.
Lactoes is famous for achieving high kill rates with the most disadvantaged weaponry. Exhibiting rapid-movement and impressive recoveries, he can dance in and out of enemy formations, picking apart weak-spots before being subject to oppressive counterattack.
Lactoes primarily focuses on two handed swung weaponry. If his style could be summed up in one word it would be: 'Positioning'.
Fighting StyleLactoes easily has the best foot-work in the entire empire. Core to his style is the defensive disengage. Lactoes is often observed kiting enemy opponents backwards to abuse his weapons max range, and to also trick them into over-committing. When opponents over-commit, he has an impressive ability to immediately change momentum and close gaps. In close-quarters, Lactoes' blade-work is very much unmatched. His smaller frame allows him to weave his weaponry swiftly into enemy vitals.
When he feels outmatched by an opponent he often resorts to wear-down tactics, where he attempts to get fighters to chase him. Lactoes' stamina as a fighter is top-tier and can often exhaust opponents into submission. (He has even been seen taunting enemies with dance moves to further solidify a chase!)
He shares similar blade styles to both Derath and Lachlan, meaning that he is exceptionally skilled at punishing unsafe attacks. However, Lactoes is a bit different in the sense that he often baits enemies into false senses of security. He is often seen backing out of every engagement and resorting to a full-committed block. As fighters begin to feel they have the psychological advantage and apply heavier offensive onslaughts, Lactoes changes his approach to swiftly dismember the commitment.
