Strinova Castle Dilemma

[hollow cloak]

I would probably choose Urbino, because maybe Bai Mo could bring over one of his sports cars, and we could crash our way out (and then I’d have Audrey buy the castle).

[tiny flame]

I would choose P.U.S because i wanna play with michele's cats

[mellow wasp]

Dash

[red ether]

P.U.S since they are the best at defending hence why they are the defenders in game

[keen patrol]

I would choose the Scissors, because they know a lot about different buildings and may come up with some sort of solution. Also Lawine is a skilled scout

[lunar crypt]

MY BABY YVETE FROM PUS FONNA MAKE THOSE ZOMBIES SLIP AND DIES

[sweet owl]

Scissors, if PUS and Urbino haven't managed to take them down yet I don't see why now would be and different

[upbeat rose]

I'd choose PUS since PUS is the government. And the Government is probably the ones who built the castle as a social experiment and I'm just a guinea pig in it.

[normal spoke]

P.U.S Michele MIghty Meow

[stray glen]

I choose P.U.S because they have a lot of resources and Flavia. Flavia is all I need

[solar charm]

P.U.S michele

[gaunt kestrel]

Urbino all the way baby

[hoary socket]

I would choose Urbino, cause I wanna lick Audrey's Armpits 💦

[buoyant snow]

Urbino galatea

[halcyon flame]

I choose PUS. Imma cuddle with Yvette in corner and then run away

[past pagoda]

Urbino - i do not care about my odds i want Madellena

[next badger]

I'd ask P.U.S, so Leona can block me down in a block fortress using her second awakening to make it indestructible, Michele would have sentries to zap down the people coming nearby, and literally everyone else in P.U.S is overpowered it would take forever to explain them all.

[tulip flame]

Urbino Celestia

[shell river]

scissors, need lawine to reveal everyone, reiichi to wall us off, fragrans to heal us, and the rest to hold them back

[fluid herald]

I would pick the scissors since most have previously worked for PUS so they know there tactics to some degree. Urbino although they are all about freedom are definitely not the way to go imo. And picking the scissors means no mara, Ming or Eika, running me down.

[raven ferry]

Scissors Eika

[plucky niche]

PUS chiyo could probably nuke the castle and let us out

[fluid hinge]

I'll definitely choose PUS. In the power of fay, mighty meow, and mister sea bunny we trust

[junior thunder]

i would choose PUS because they most likely have far more resources at their disposal and most likely have far better coordination when it comes to protecting objectives and subjects. plus theyre all really nice to look at

[wild wagon]

Scissors cuz they got more scanners

[wicked dove]

urbino galatea because yes

[solar gust]

The Scissors , Lawine of course

[tepid lark]

i choose PUS they have very good tools to defend and pushing through

[viscid flume]

THE SCISSORS FOREVERRRRR because I miss our true home earth and I (meredith) is number one and i am sooo smart to outsmart a plan to escape PUS and Urbino

[tepid breach]

I would choose scissors ! I love most of the character in there honestly ! After all yugiri is in here i can have my chance in it ! (Not if it’s me playing her...)

[digital vortex]

P.U.S. Michele flew over me using her space cats and her laser beams.

[wheat compass]

Urbino Celestia

[orchid night]

I will use beauty tactics on PUS.

[winter crag]

I choose P.U.S

[lavish badger]

Urbino
audrey's MG = Killing Spree
Baimo's SG = Killing Spree in close battle

[glossy ember]

P.U.S. Because Michelle will use her and Yvette will uses her fei and the ice wall also nobu with his cancel abilities and his tp Flávia it's a good partner to have on your side by her skills and if they fail to protect me they have Kokona Wich can res me and others P.U.S agents

[timber sapphire]

I would choose PUS, Leona is an engineer, so she would probably know about a layout of a castle if she was remotely interested at medieval age buildings. Another reason for PUS is because they have a lot of defensive options like Leona's ult and Michelle's laser. Also good scouting skills like, Fay or Nobunaga's Eyes. And finally even if you get hurt Kokona can heal you.

[sand thistle]

I choose Scissors because Lawine hates hypocrites. So she would most likely be genuine

[hazy silo]

Scissors kanami

[frail basalt]

Urbino cuz wanna be with Celestia

[grizzled dew]

P.U.S Flavia

[median harness]

Urbino of course because there is Fuchsia and she will scan the area for us and Audrey for defense

[austere trench]

kanami will distract them with her singing while mara sneaks up on them and kills them
and if anything happens to me fragrans will heal me :D
id choose the scissors

[real adder]

i will pick urbino because i like them

[glossy dew]

i choose P.S.U for Michele

[earnest wren]

Id choose Scissors, as Meredith would just clear the escape route with sand smokes, weve got reiichi that is able to hide me away from danger, scanners that could use that to our advantage, ming and eika who could create space for us up front and mara who could slow the enemies down behind and leave them no chance. If anything, Scissors has everything for the best team cooperation. Its both defensive and offensive so I will definitely make it. Also, the government doesnt even know where the Scissors base is located it seems, otherwise it wouldve already been attacked or something like that.
Did I tell you we could run faster and get healed with fragrans? Regardless, Scissors is definitely the best choice

[simple crown]

PUS cause kokona Leona and Michele can defend, nobunaga ults and counters enemy abilities, Yvette can slow them down and kokona can just revive you 🥀

[alpine idol]

i choose scissors theyre just way too cool you cant stop them ever

[sage quartz]

P.U.S I like Flavia

[lone hemlock]

P.US

[dusty egret]

Urbino becaus Baimo

[halcyon hollow]

Urbino, they know all the other two's secrets, plus they got Audrey. We be hunkering down frfr

[austere glen]

The answer is obvious. Gotta be The Scissors.
Why? Mara is a horror movie of a character. To escape the mansion when she's around lurking... It's a death sentence. PUS could also be good for this, but the problem is they're more of a static defense type. And Urbino? I mean... They have Galatea, but other than that there's gon be too much niche conflicts inside the group so no one is gonna bother protecting you.
So ultimately, I'd go with The Scissors.

[pulsar ridge]

I choose The Scissors, they have scans and they have kanami, and kanami is kanami.

[gilded gulch]

Scissors Eika WITH HER SHOTGUN AND SCANNS

[signal frigate]

P.U.S because my lovely daughter Yvette

[tardy sun]

I'd go with The Scissors, but Lawine is the only one I need <3

[mighty pecan]

PUS so yvette can teach me how to become invisible

[willow sail]

Pus flavia

[median dove]

P.U.S. cause Kokona can resurrect me

[warm swallow]

Urbino.....Because he doesn't side with anyone.

they's not pro-PUS or The Scrissor.

So, they can get all of "their" information without having to infiltrate or stalk them... By selling his "services," easily enters both sides.

My favorite character in the Urbino faction is Maddelena.

[warm belfry]

Scissors I have to stay with Eika so I can burn all

[broken phoenix]

I’d choose The Scissors: the movement speed perfume from Fragrans would really help the team escape, while Meredith slows down enemies and Kanami and Lawine keep us informed of their locations, preventing us from being caught off guard. Plus, it’s the group with the most members, giving us a solid overall advantage.

[wraith nexus]

Scissors not because they'd be best on defence, but because I absolutely do not want them hunting me down.

[prisma stag]

FLAVIA FROM P.U.S. IT SHOW TIME!!!!!!

[quiet grove]

Scissors bc Kanami is cute

[prime grail]

Pus flavia

[warm thistle]

P.U.S. They are meant to protect everyone

[warped pasture]

The Scissors eika

[smoky harness]

P.U.S without even thinking, even if they get me, Kokona could just secretly revive me 😄

[split steeple]

Of course P.U.S, they have Kokona who can revive with her ultimate and they have the help of the Urbinos because they are neutral. It's like having two groups in one.

[atomic forge]

I truly believe neko neko will protect me so of course P.U.S

[mint jewel]

PUS, I'll just chill and play gomoku with Yvette while Michele turrets and mighty meow do their job

[violet shuttle]

Scissors

[junior basin]

Scissors - Kanami

[hearty nest]

P.U.S. because they are defenders!

[brave frigate]

I would join the scissors so I’ll tell Eika to burn the whole castle and burn everyone

[tranquil arch]

Scissors:
Against PUS: Will hard counter since Reiichi's existence will trigger hard trauma on Nobunaga (and Lawine just going to add on the salt). "Then can just gone stealth" Oh right That's why Mara is there
Against Urbino. This is where things could tricky thanks Bai Mo existence and The trickster queen Galatea is on their lineup. Probably meredith can come handy on here?

[rustic bloom]

P.U.S they could defend easier henc theyr defending everyone already against the scissors

[desert mist]

I choose P.U.S. May the force be with P.U.S!

[pure raft]

P.U.S flav

[plush field]

Scissors kanami

[dapper horizon]

P.U.S clears, look at how much defense they got

and also theres yvette and michelle

[austere dawn]

urbino because they have celestia

[clear cobalt]

I choose Urbino because Fuchsia can detect her prey at dark place

[prime cosmos]

P.U.S so chiyo can use her ultimate to illuminate the castle!!!!

[tardy mirage]

PUS just because michele <33

[feral basin]

P.U.S Yugiri

[random badge]

P.U.S!
Yvette's Fey would those icy bearly pawns against any threats!

[cursive dagger]

P.U.S, cuz i can get revived by kokona while the rest can secure an area to prevent easy entry

[austere dawn]

Scissors, the reason is Fragrans, she can heal, support, protect and attack

[strange marsh]

PUS because of Yvette thats all i need.

[solar valve]

I would choose the Scissors, because there is Lawine and Kanami. I'll give up my life for them

[fallen cave]

PUS because Yvette can just hide me

[lusty juniper]

Scissors because you cant hide from Kanami

[prime oracle]

Urbino because Maddie paint + Galatea Tele is just op, My wife Shark can just detect near by enemy, Baimo for the CHAOS, Celestia for da shield, Audrey for the peak defense!

[stiff elbow]

Scissors so Reiichi can scan through walls and make sure I'm safe

[silk igloo]

PUS so fay can protect me <3

[lost sable]

Crystalines :D

[winged pecan]

P.U.S. because our Lemon Cat would defend me

[gleaming panther]

scissors because they will just bomb everyone that tries to hunt me while I am escaping (real)

[sage crescent]

Getting protected by PUS is the obvious choice. They have the strongest defense available and Kokona can protect me with her healing drone.

[tawdry prairie]

P.U.S because most of the characters there are fun to usee

[sacred terrace]

Scissors cuz im sure full util would be good to keep me safe, like Reiichi's wall, Kanami's ult, Lawine's scans, Meredith's sandstorms, Fragrans' healing and then ill leave Mara, Ming and Aika to kill everything:>

[austere furnace]

P.Ú.S

[brave imp]

I would choose the scissors since they should be more experienced in dark & eerie places, aside from that I'd love to see kanami and lawine in action✨

[coarse gull]

it might be crazy but The Scissors are good at escaping right? Therefore, Ming's protection is enough for me to be hidden under her arms, already felt safe being around her and she's handsome to begin with'

[keen hawk]

P.U.S they are made for defending.

[hollow swift]

Scissors. Maybe Lawine ult would work on everyone else, and it's already hallway sized 🤔

[cloud dust]

P.U.S CUZ THE NAME SOUNDS COOL 😄

[west pike]

I choose The Scissors. The point is to escape the castle and so this team is just made perfect to escape unnoticed

[ember kettle]

P.U.S so Flavia can teach me how to turn into butterflies

[cosmic sage]

P.U.S, because my Flavia already wearing her wedding dress for me

[spring vapor]

Fuchsia Self Scan, Viable.
Maddie's Paint, Viable.
Gala's Cards To Check Around Unscathed, Viable.
Bai Mo's Dash, Hella Viable.
Celestia's a doctor, so free.
Audrey Turret Mode, Basically Goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[crystal crow]

Scissors have all the vision scanners. I don't want them looking for me. They can help me evade and escape.

[hushed citrus]

Urbino
Imagine trying to use a defense faction as an attacker
What are they gonna do, have Leona throw lego?
Scissors may be a problem, but Urbino has a balanced group. Better than the other alternatives.

[willow forum]

The Scissors

[gloomy hemlock]

Scissors Lawine

[visual wyvern]

I pick P.U.S as my protector

[gentle matrix]

P.U.S.

[visual pier]

Scissors Have the best Offense and as it said the best defense is offence since they have pretty capable duelist and great smokers alongside with detectors who can keep ME from danger

[cold bone]

PUS since kokona can simply just revive me at any given moment

[queen ocean]

Kanami love me, so she will protect me! I'd go to Scissors

[opal gale]

Urbino would have a high chance in this, they'd have an easy time to just get around places and escape.

[gilded mulch]

Urbino im gona hiding in maddelena paint

[silk plover]

i pick Urbino

[fluid merlin]

It has to be Scissors, if you don't pick scissors you are toast because they will easily find you with their scans and then chase you with mara + ming

[simple acorn]

I will choose urbino anytime for my Bai Mo

[obsidian thicket]

PUS on this case cuz, they have healings, they can create barricades, they can place tons of traps all around... Safest option of all 3

[upper basalt]

P.U.S flavia

[uncut crest]

easy urbino since celes and galatea there

[hollow condor]

i pick scissors cus like, kanami bbg has been carrying me, and ik kokona carries me too but i have a special place for kananmi and she can give me a concert whenever i want🫶🏻

[shy venture]

scissors lowkey idc if i die i just wanna look at lawine

[charred bluff]

Scissors purely because if they’re hunting me, it’s so strinover

[kind dagger]

i'm choosing PUS to protect me cos flavia can protect me any day 😛

[untold sable]

P.U.S cause Meow

[toxic crag]

P.U.S
My wife Kokona will heal and res me. Perfect Protection.

[glossy ether]

scissors is so cool meow

[hearty glen]

I'd say P.U.S because they are already made to protect

[echo stratus]

Scissors because I will have Kanami(especially her), Lawine, Ming and Eika around all day

[hexed sable]

i think scissors cus they are more tanky

[bronze monolith]

scisors my team protect me

[visual yacht]

P.U.S is the best as the safest place is Flavia's hug

[void kettle]

P.U.S because yugiri farts will knock them all out and her smelly feet will destroy them

[shut vigil]

Easily P.U.S. They are professionals and trained to protect and defend. Urbino are not trained to handle CTU situations, just government operations. The Scissors aren’t purely professional as they have a mix of amateurs.

Oh I’m supposed to have a degenerate response? Uh, PUS cuz Kokona, Michele, Yvette, Chiyo, and Flavia would be with me.

[outer knoll]

Ubino because you can get good at the characters there and use them as a defender and attacker. but i also want to be with galatea and shop

[icy agate]

I'd say Urbino, Maddelena can slow the other faction members and Galatea can scan them. If we're talking about defeating the other factions to stop them , well Audrey & Bai Mo would take care the rest. If you're hurt or in danger, just ask Celestia for her skills , and with awakening 2 , it'll be an ease to survive.(Not to mention we navigators would prob have a good relationship with Celestia as she is our first dorm char.)

[kindred mauve]

Scissors Lawine

[thorny nimbus]

The scissors of course. like the keyword escape The Scissors has a more mature planning they have top scanner from kanami, lawine, and reichi, buff movement spd and heal from fragnans, Shield protection from reiichi and several top duelists such as Ming and mara, also eika as the front wall

[prisma geyser]

Urbino, as always. Why choose a side when both is simply an option ?

[soft pond]

P.U.S. Get Leona to barricade me. Yvette to summon Fay to guard us. Then we have a barbeque or something

[tepid jacinth]

I'd say Scissors is the best choice for fast and stealthy escort plan, since Lawine, Meredith and Reiichi can help in remaining undetected or harder to spot, Eika's crowd control can help with hordes, Kanami's abilities can detect and distract enemies, Fragrans(wife) can help both wounded and fighting teammates or simply help whole team in escaping, while Ming and Mara will be annoying for any threat to fight against. Always rely on Scissors
(Now that's a full ass essay explaining everyone's role)

[runic tusk]

PUS All Around defenders

[last bane]

Scissors because surely they'd be dead by now if they were bad at evasion.

[dreamy smelt]

Im obviously choosing Urbino
Baimo with his army of fans will storm the castle and easily rescue me and overwhelm the monsters with sheer numbers!

[glad dust]

Pus. Flavia is a menance

[half spindle]

Urbino. Baimo has enough money to pay for guards.

[idle flint]

Urbino cause I like audrey and would like to have her protect me

[gilded lark]

Im gonna choose Urbino cuz Fuchsia 😋 😋 😋 is here why not

[azure cipher]

scissors eika

[gusty fog]

Scissors Mara. I want her to step on me...

[ornate matrix]

I choose Scissors, because I love playing Mara and Kanami (let's destroy all sites)

[tidal knoll]

P.U.S. and yvette because i can hide with her behind fay

[frigid crescent]

PUS. They're a more defensive unit as a whole so they are the best suited for this

[compact owl]

I choose Urbino cuz they're the most flexible characters. They can fend and attack, also I love their dynamic 🫰

[gritty rapids]

scissors because i want mara and kanami to protect me with their beauty and voice and because scissors are stronger and criminal so it may be really fun

[ebon sand]

Scissors cause Mara, Ming, Lawine and Eika, with Kanami and Fragrans supporting me

[visual panther]

Urbino (Protection): Bai Mo and Fuchsia go on the front, Fuchsia upfront and Bai Mo trying to ambush the enemies, while Audrey takes care of essential points. Me and Celestia have the role of supporting the team, Celestia recovering people's armor and working as auxiliary firing, while i help on the front too by being invisible and stealing the enemies' gadgets.

The Scissors: The toughest ones may be Lawine (due to her pulse blade), Ming (She'd just rush on us like crazy), Meredith (She can control the space really well) and Kanami (Sniping + Intel gathering = hell), silence the messengers first, then go.

P.U.S: Kokona is my focus, since she is the most capable of mantaining her team going foward, Michele might be a problem as well due to her annoying Pawtectors. Flavia would definitely be my easiest target, due to Bai Mo's aid.

PLOT TWIST: All the other superstrings that aren't from Urbino are fake versions of them. Plus, some of my teammates were oozing a weird dark Purple aura due to the Castle's eerie atmosphere. Bai Mo and Fuchsia were much more agressive (especially Fuchsia, who was seen punching and biting the enemies in a weird way) which made some fights more chaotic and almost killing him, Audrey couldn't concentrate properly sometimes and Celestia's powers sometimes didn't work. While i felt a strangely familiar but unsettling feeling...

HINT: Mirrors...

[north owl]

P.U.S Flavia

[steep matrix]

Obviously P.U.S because they have the best sentinel

[signal grove]

The scissors

[silent musk]

The Scissors because Reiichi and Meredith have strong ults, Mara can just A3 and mow down enemies that rush, and Lawine can save my ahh with smoke + knife.

[livid ruin]

The Scissors, cause they can reveal any danger with lawine and kanami while fragrans can make us run faster to escape and heal in case of needed. Also ming and mara have the tools to be the best frontline, mara is familiar with shadows, and ming can tank and fight back really hard...🔥

[radiant acorn]

pus... nobu can hold me

[fluid gust]

urbino moneyh powah

[quartz oriole]

Scissors because of Lawine can scout with her knife, Kanami can use her shots to locate people in the dark (something Kokona can’t do), Ming and Mara would be able to beat anyone who tries to rush, Eika could probably get me out by burning a hole through a wall, and Fragrans could heal any injuries I get.

[neon tangle]

Urbino. Galatea A3 tps will give us access to information on where the enemies are, making it easy to find the best route possible to escaping.

Maddelena gives us paint which we can hide in, making it easier to stealth our way through places

Bai mo is the ultimate distraction with his ult. He goes in and out aggroing and pulling away enemies

Fuschia can smell the enemies, still easy info like gala

Audrey is...Audrey

Celesta is emotional support. Let's be honest, none of us getting out without losing our minds from imminent threat and pressure of death.

I'm on the toilet rn

[fading marlin]

Urbino because galatea hunting us down would most likely get me dead... And because silly Audrey gun

[near summit]

Urbino, cause can just join both forces

[modest basin]

scissors

[twilit zephyr]

Urbino all the way

[rough cairn]

The scissors are the best option, because with Ming to mock everyone, Lawine to sopot every threat, an Mara...being Mara, i doubt that there are better protection. And if all this fail, we have Eika to burn up everyone in the house (hopefully with us out)

[floral peak]

P.U.S cuz kokona can just revive me

[potent star]

scissors for my beloved kanami

[ripe ridge]

[true terrace]

I would choose P.U.S cuz i rly love kokona

[tribal radish]

P.U.S

Because they're specialist in the Defensive while Scissors are specialist in the hunting and attacking and Urbino are basically terms of describing mercenary, which can be paid to join any fraction
In game, P.U.S is showing their capability of defending, either what are they doing.

[vital fulcrum]

P.U.S. Because technically they should be experts in defending. Also, I like the characters of P.U.S. the most, so yeah, that's my reason

[lunar edge]

Pus cuz technically they're defenders.

[hollow python]

P.U.S cause they're speacial at defence

[shell lintel]

Scissors

They are the group that go in and get out. That's exactly what they do to protect me or one of their own. Kanami would start the mission by using her echo chamber to alert us to any nearby presence. Lawine can also throw knives to alert us to any enemy presence as well. Eika is really good at getting up close and personal with others who would want to do us harm. Reiichi and Meredith both can close off vision with Meredith's giant sandstorms and Reiichi's walls. Getting in and out is no sweat. They've done this plenty of times before and they can most certainly do it again as they're just trying to get out. Also you'd have Mara protecting you at all times most likely, unless she ends up having a PTSD episode in which, we'd just have to use the power of friendship to help her through it. Another issue to worry about is Eika's "self-sacrificing" behavior because she most certainly would try to protect her friends in any situation, but using herself as the cost. Meredith and I probably also wouldn't get along very well either due to our clashes of personality as I'd always aim to try and help out the scissors through kind actions, especially since they're helping me get out. I think we'd get out perfectly fine. There might be a few bumps and issues along the way, especially since there's the icky PUS to worry about, but also Urbino as well. Both can be annoying to deal with, but with Reiichi's specialized walls (which are bulletproof and can defend heavy-fire), we'd in the end come out of the castle victorious.

[cunning ginkgo]

Of course I choose the P.U.S Do you think I'm going to pass up the chance to have Nobunaga on my side? In this castle full of shadows and fears, I prefer to trust his elegance, his calculating gaze, and, well… his presence, cough cough.
While the others run aimlessly, I remain calm knowing that with the P.U.S everything is under control.

[steep sparrow]

Of course P.U.S Because they are the government and they spend a lot of money on defense matters, and if I die, Kokona can revive me.

[covert forum]

scissors, I can hide in Lawine's ult

[turbid ledge]

Urbino Because they are good overall in range and short range and can hold position well because of Audrey . Fuchsia and Maddelena are good for finding close by enemies even more so in a castle which are not good for snipers and because of that Bai Mo can handle corridors and entrances which most can't. If Celestia is next to me while running away she can help supply me with armor. Problem with this team though is we don't have any stealth which we can make up with speed because of Bai Mo dash combined with Galatea decoys and Celestia teleportation. Instead of running away we can fortify a position and handle the people that hunt us down if the entrance is blocked.

[livid sonnet]

Scissors, Kanami and Eika

[fast salmon]

Urbino. Knowing Baimo's japanese voice actor also voices Joseph Joestar from part 2, I'm sure he'll find a way to nigerundayo out of here. I'll just follow him out.

[zinc heart]

urbino would protect me, i trust fuchsia

[worldly zealot]

urbino, because no matter if we are attacking or defending i know they have my back

[ember herald]

urbino, literally just give me galatea, that overpowered character will 1v9

[scenic arrow]

Escape the spooky castle...

Urbino are outnumbered.
The Scissors have plenty of brute force but...
I'll entrust myself to the P.U.S!

Lots of flexible powers, think how Faye, Yugiri or Leona could easily clog narrow hallways with ice, gas or blocks! While those three block the narrow castle hallways to cover the escape, Flavia can discover a way out and get us all to safety!
🏰 👻 👋 😄

[bitter quest]

I will turn to the Urbino Faction to protect me for the following reasons.

1. Audrey - She can use her active skill, her tactical skill and her ultimate and mount it on our getaway car.
2. Celestia - Will provide extra armor to all her Urbino teammates and both the enemy factions will be blinded if they managed to breach the extra armor
3. Fuchsia - Her active skill along with her 3rd awakening not only scans for nearby enemy ambush, but it also slows them down if they are pursuing us.
4. Galatea - Her ultimate will drive the enemy factions into confusion by teleporting to each of her clones in quick succession.
5. Maddelena - Her ultimate will be useful, as it will slow them down and string-block the enemies. Her active skill and 1st awakening will help us to conceal and hide in paint.
6. Bai Mo - He will use his tactical skill to stun any nearby enemies. He will also use his ultimate in our getaway car and duel with other duelists from the two enemy factions and blind them with his active skill which is enhanced by his 3rd awakening.

[echo skiff]

P.U.S,

Flavia will protect me, mighty meow as wel

[harsh rune]

If i have enough moneys i just can a great urbino wall from audreys guns.
If don`t - then P.U.S., because most of their fraction are defenders

[gritty tendon]

Urbino forever, they count with Fuchsia

[woven spire]

Don't even need a faction just Maddy
One bit of paint and the enemy cant follow me up a wall

[crystal coral]

P.U.S Flavia forever

[short mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/chiyo-strinova-uteenlearn-chiyo-strinova-strinova-chiyo-gif-17905081621278487961

[scenic bolt]

The PUS, they are good at defending sites so they should be able to protect me, plus I can have weapon training in the PUS base.

[glass estuary]

i'd say the Scissors, as they surely know how to remain unseen and cover their traces, while also being powerful warriors. And they surely are a good company ^^

[woven walrus]

P.U.S - Leona's boxes will protect me 🙂

[fierce sentinel]

P.U.S
Speciality in defense, you have flavia, michele, nobunaga, leona and others. They will go hard defense.

[void kettle]

P.U.S
Leona can put me in her box with yugiri and her unwashed smelly feet and create a gas bomb once the box breaks then all the other P.U.S can set up defenses around the corners to secure a safer path while I have a big box for myself that has a shared health upgrade which has way more HP than any other support unit.

[thick wedge]

P.U.S I want to stay with michele!!! , Flavia!!! and Yvette!! and complete the castle

[brave herald]

gotta be the scissors, mara probably owns the castle
I can also just hide in lawine ult while kanami distracts everyone else
ming shield protects us if things go badly
plus meredith sandstorm will hide us
in case PUS goes nuclear on us eika will burn the whole place down

[tacit trout]

I'm choosing the scissors and making sure Mara is on my team as she won't be afraid of the ghosts and can scare them away

[ocean spear]

Scissors, I love Kanami

[glad hatch]

Scissors kanami

[versed tundra]

Celestia of Urbino is my wife, so I will protect her.

[vagrant vapor]

scissors, smokes and scans for life

[late juniper]

P.U.S I love Michele,Flavia,Yvette,Chiyo and Yugiri

[slim cliff]

P.U.S because of Leona blocks

[snow totem]

Scissors of course! Exhibit A: The beginning cutscenes

[north shadow]

P.U.S konutnut just because its kokonut aim bot auto headshoot with A3 konutnut, u never die

[green owl]

Scissors, i love eika

[steep sinew]

I ALWAYS TRUST HER... PUS FLAVIA FIST BUMP :3

[wooden sparrow]

Logically, I'd go with the Scissors.
plans the defense
has the heals
, , and has skills to detect enemies
's Area of Denial forces anyone to move position, leaving to hunt them

And the most logically sound reason: Mara doesn't spend her time hunting ME.

[full igloo]

P.U.S
Kokona can always aid me with a healing drone

I can pet Michele

And Leona would build me a shelter if needed

Biggest downside is, I'll be against my beloved Kanami

Not to mention Mara hunting me down would be terrifying

[lilac osprey]

i’m going with scissors
pretty sure ming and lawine have high battle iq, and i got a good healer (fragrans)

scissors is full of people with battle iq. think about it, would you rather have people who know how to fight, or a richling combat force? (i would call urbino a street gang, but they’re better than that)
sure, richling combat force has a few advantages and probably some more training…
but i have a soul reaper (mara), a sandstorm harnessing intellectual (meredith), and a sniper who can basically put walls down (reichii), AND another sniper who reveals the enemy and is a cute singer (kanami) on my side? and i get my favorite, eika? oh yes please. scissors is a built team, both skill-wise and character-wise.

scissors please.

[molten wave]

I would choose P.U.S. to protect me because they're skilled in defense, so the other factions stand no chance against a hard defense. And also the others can't protect me because their skills lies mostly in something else

[finite breach]

P.U.S, because we have mega meow and Leona can block path with blocks

[hollow condor]

haxxor bunny was my first favorite char 💔

[winter vessel]

Kokona with P.U.S agents would be my definite pick bc they look like a group that you wouldnt be bored with and kokona is the best girl so the choice is obviouse

[willow fox]

I'd go urbino, if you think about it, if the government, or the rebels attack their biggest allies, they won't help them any more, so its not worth them attacking me. Also the people in urbino know how the pthers attack, since they work with them so much, so its gonna be an easy ride

[dim bramble]

P.U.S because you know...

[quartz rose]

P.U.S. Mara
— A stillness that kills before it moves.

He does not lurk. He settles — like dust in dead air, like static between signals.
He is not unseen; he is unregistered — absent from threat assessments, memory buffers, peripheral awareness. A blind spot with agency.

Think not of vermin, but of evolution perfected in the dark:
A mind shaped by narrow spaces and tighter margins.
A predator who doesn’t hunt — he converges.
Not with speed, but with inevitability.
Not with force, but with completion.

He maps your routines like blueprints.
He waits not for weakness — but for certainty.
The moment you exhale, believing the danger passed…
…is the moment his work ends.

His signature?
No blood. No noise.
Just a single, irreversible shift in the world’s equilibrium —
and the chilling realization:

[fervent ruin]

the scissors, lawine, just be invisible and evade every enemy

[languid flame]

the scissors cuz theyre hot

[amber orbit]

PUS, ALL THE WAY

[proven lagoon]

Scissors Eika everyone will burn

[mighty saddle]

P.U.S. Yvette will use the ice so others will slip. I would also ask Kokona to heal me and in any case - to revive, so basically higher chances to get alive.

[warm pelican]

The way I'm imagining it, its like escort, only I'm the payload, and I don't have a set movement, I just have to do whatever my team says. In which case, Scissors wins easily.

If its a dark eerie castle, scanning would be extremely useful, so lawine and kanami alone clears the other 2 factions.
Then theres Reichii and Meredith who can literally make cover for me to hide if I needed to
Fragrans buffs on a team of 9 sounds insane.
And I get extra movement speed if I need to make a break for it.
And Ming Mara and Eika are self explanatory. They will d e s t r o y you. I don't wanna go against that, and if you can't beat em...

[vernal tundra]

PUS

[ripe ridge]

[sick axle]

Scissors are the most logical choice for this, Urbino could also be a great option but i dont think they are better than Scissors at escorting.

[twilit totem]

scissors trust

[shell fjord]

I would choose scissors... I love Yugiri and Lawine ♥

[dire yoke]

scissors have cracked duelists and support i would pick them any day

[fierce moon]

Scissors because they are hot

[swift solar]

Urbino so i can have a walk with Celestia

[silver iris]

PUS, if its to defend, no better option

[void kettle]

P.U.S
Yugiri's smelly bare feet will protect me

[harsh jolt]

Urbino cause they have a mix defensive and offensive equipment, skills and tactics. And because I wanna have a funny Scooby Doo montage scene with Celestia, Baimo, Fuschia, and Galatea

[sterile goblet]

PUS: Nobunaga, Michelle, Leona and Yugiri together will make any hunting a tedious affair. They just needs to hold one area set a trap, then any hunting party would just get mowed down. Michelle drones deal continous damage, Leona blocking the escape route, Yugiri dealing armor shredding dmg and lastly Nobunaga highlighting any attempt to run away.

[manic hearth]

I'm new to the game, but whatever Meredith is 👀 I'm obsessed

[cunning wadi]

Scissors ofcourse, the attackers have major advantage with protected movement with controllers like reichi and meredith whose intelligence will help to navigate. Kanami and lawine will alert for intruders while ming and mara will take down anyone who crosses our path

[empty steppe]

Scissors because of Kanami
She, Flavia and Yvette get the best skins in my opinion. But Kanami tops

[fast vault]

Urbino the onlyone someone needs is Cellestia

[fast arch]

Urbino because best defense of the 3

[lavish obsidian]

PUS cause i love feet of-

[wanton lodge]

P.U.S Mighty Cat the best

[vocal sage]

ubrino easily, ask gala to tp u out of there

[worn sail]

P.U.S for defense, no doubt

[heavy mason]

PUS. They literally a government faction in the lore.

[hidden nexus]

P.U.S because kokona ult would revive me, and flavia's butterfly would help me to escape, and chiyo's arrow will blow all the enemies

[spice badge]

Urbino cuz FUCHSIA GONNA BITE ME

[drowsy bison]

P.U.S cus im uhhhhhhhhhh michele yes yes michele meow michele

[glossy roost]

P.U.S. , they can kill me, kokona can just revive :)))))

[weak warren]

PUS. no doubt

[icy harbor]

I am also for P.U.S
alsomost all character i play are in there, i struggle with the others way more

[velvet heron]

i would choose the Scissors because Eika

[warm pawn]

I'd pick PUS., so that Leona can build a safe room for me 🤑🤑🤑

[earnest wren]

Day 2 proving that Scissors is a better choice! just imagine how terrrible PUS will be at defending. Youve got walls, smoke hp draining pits, blinding sands, audreys mollies, baimos paint, mings electricity, maras hand (gosh its bad if it touches you) youve got galatea just randomly tping around and noising at your ears. Youve got the immortal guardian starred army coming at you as you are permanently scanned and marked by mara, fushia, lawine, kanami, galatea, reiichi. And no kokonas gonna save you. Youre defenses will crumble in a matter of mileseconds as you get demolished by utility. The worst part? You wont even see anything by the time its gonna be over. No kokona is ever going to save you. Youre done for.
Well what if you choose urbino? Smarter move. Urbino definitely has some trap cards in store. And they are more decisive, ambitious and creative. However your chances of survival are not exactly 0, as in the case with PUS, but near 0. You have a bunch of high potent people, but you stand no chance to the sheer brutality of the scissors. Not to mention the government is gonna hunt you too. Considering that both the scissors and the pus know a lot about urbino, youre gonna find yourself searching for cover and thats gonna be ridiculously hard of an experience. Mad man choice. The Scissors? read my previous message.

[eager harbor]

PUS for sure

[ripe burrow]

Maybe I just choose the scissors so I can hangout with Ming. She's kinda cool person to hangout with :)

[silk plover]

Sissors

[solemn atlas]

I chose scissors because my GF (Eika) was there.
Her smile was so warm.
Her voice always gives me strength
Her cheerfulness making my day colorful.
She was a perfect gift from God to me
And that gave me no need to think twice about which faction I would choose.

[craggy laurel]

scissors since in the beginning intro cutscene thing, they easily beat the pus and well lesbians.

[void kettle]

P.U.S
Yugiri will bless me with her feet

[sly cobalt]

I would choose the P. U. S. seems like the smart option

[errant tapir]

i will choose the scissors, hope they will bring their bomb together and we ruin this custle to the stones

[silent swift]

Scissors are good at escorting through ensmy defensive positions. P.U.S. are better experiencde at defence, and Urbino are opportunists

[gleaming shell]

I would choose Urbino since they are technically the richest.

[river vine]

michele

[lilac hearth]

P..U.S because flavia

[celest garden]

P.U.S i like Cats

[solid adder]

I'd prefer having P.U.S protecting me, I mean, who wouldn't love to be hugged by Fay, he'd be warm to cuddle with, in addition, he can even block the bullets for me, along with Yvette being able to stealth behind the enemies and shoot them, not even counting Leona who can build us a strong base, Flavia that can lure the enemies during the Escape/Evacuate plan, Nobu that would use his domain to protect me from getting one-shot kill, Kokona that can also use her drone to absorb my taken damage, Yugiri that would use her snail as smoke to prevent the enemies from seeing my escape route, Michele, that would use the pawtectors and huolida meow to detect/chase/disturb enemies, and Chiyo that would make a trap out of the bouncing explosive arrows. Literally the faction that is meant for protecting someone innit? I'd be taking zero damage with the help of them. (Actual and short reason, Yvette is cute, so I'd love to have her protecting me :D)

[bitter meadow]

The Scissors Ming

[real jasper]

P.U.S
cause i'd be just invis in the corner or on top of building with yvette

[void kettle]

P.U.S
I like snails

[still pier]

PUS because it's government, and government always wins

[manic hearth]

Now that I know Meredith is Scissors I will be choosing that faction thank youuuu ✂️ 🫶🏼

[wintry forum]

here me out, somebody kills me and kokona will use her ult to reconstruct me outside the castle

lmk...

[void kettle]

P.U.S
Yugiri feet will revive me

[gleaming flume]

[void kettle]

P.U.S
The Yugiri armpit and feet fanatics will defend me

[distant ginkgo]

[woeful lance]

Urbino - the dashing man Bai mo my homie

[worn tapir]

P.U.S as michele will put the castle full of cats I will be 100% safe

[mossy steeple]

Scissors, being with Kanami matters more than anything

[void kettle]

P.U.S
Yugiri will fart on me for green (in this case purple) aura protection

[terse stump]

P.U.S cuz have purple hair

[shut gazelle]

P.U.S cuz gaming partners forever!!! #IAlsoWannaPlayWithMichelesCattos

[snow atlas]

scissors bc offense is the best defense

[earnest wren]

Day 4 proving that Scissors is a better choice! Scissors has got better cooks. I swear their food tastes like that of an elite steakhouse restaurant with the best cooks from around the world. And even that kind of restaurant only tries to come close to the food Scissors cooks. It awakens your very primal instincts. It is being raw with you, while not being raw at all. At some point you lose the line whether it is you eating the food or the food selected you to be its future form. P. U. S. and Urbino food doesnt even begin to come close. If taste were to be a size scale, it would be as if comparing ton 618 hypermassive blackhole and a grain of sand. So yes... Choose Scissors chat. Food nice.. free food.. foodd. d. d. d. d. d.....

[void kettle]

P.U.S

Day 5 proving that Scissors is a better choice! Scissors has got that super duper ultra mega massive hyper huge grand vast prime peak turbo titan epic mighty potent stellar cosmic colossal alpha apex supreme ultimate boundless limitless enormous gigantic dominant radiant dynamic relentless monumental overpowering legendary mythic infinite energy!

[foggy nimbus]

Scissors
The reason is because I love Meredith. That's enough.

[copper oak]

P.U.S because Chiyo is everything.

Who is Chiyo? For the blind, she is light. For the hungry, she is bread. For the sick, she is the cure. For the lonely, she is company. For the sad, she is joy. For the prisoner, she is freedom. For the poor, she is treasure.
For me, she is everything.

If Chiyo has a million fans, then I am one of them.
If Chiyo has ten fans, then I am one of them.
If Chiyo has only one fan then that is me.
If Chiyo has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth.
If the world is against Chiyo, then I am against the world.

[wintry coyote]

I hate that I forgot to do this in time for the prize! But at least I can still post it!

Definitely the Scissors! Urbino is a tempting choice because I'm sure Audrey could defend me (she was my 1st character), but that's my only strong point for them.
But with the Scissors I can be with 💖 Kanami💖! I started not agreeing with their goals, but overtime I became convinced that, flaws and all, theirs is the only way. They feel like a family to me. Good comp, like 2 certified geniuses, ... and there's more of us!

[void kettle]

P.U.S

Obviously Yugiri using her legendary skin has the power to manipulate ghosts/spirits within the haunted castle. With the power of the paranormal she can command them to give away their location and use their ghostly powers to posses them or throw objects at the enemies as well as manipulate the space around them. All the other factions stand no chance and will easily fold into origamis out of sheer fear.
