Also, I hope Naomi doesn’t find this, but there’s a chance that Bianca could catch her off guard and beat her. It’s a very slim chance, but it’s hard to measure the power of motherfucking free good +6 when you can’t really pin down Bianca because of how her mood can swing dramatically.

Regardless of that, let’s bring attention to her origins. She has the Sunshine Heraldess title there, which isn’t unexpected.

What’s a total surprise is the Royal Outsider title. That wasn’t there before. Now it’s there.

I’m starting to wonder if Bianca Garcia has a hidden bloodline deep inside of her. What if she’s actually a minor goddess or something else mythical?

How much of her talent comes from her specifically? Or is there something inside of her that’s emerging?

Gilbert had his own little magic coming from the old world, right? That’s how he survived having his neck broken by Jack.

But Bianca didn’t stat with anything extra other than her stupidly bright and high-quality flash skill. Hm. Interesting.

If there’s one thing of note that I must put down before moving on to traits … It’s that free good +6 can be stronger than traditional good +7, but I think it’s much harder for Bianca to summon that level of OP goodness out of her.

I’ll talk about that more later. Let’s group up those traits!

The first grouping involves Light Affinity, Aura Charge, Evil Hunter, and the newly upgraded Sainted Smite. With these four traits and Bianca’s goodness, she can make herself a demigoddess of laser beams and erase most of her problems, especially if they’re evil! Dang, writing about this unnerves me a little, and we’re both under the freedom alignment.

The second grouping involves Wondrous Princess Regality, Feathery Grace, Shining Hope, Great Meditation, and Six Step Dancing Princess Sword Style. The latter came from an achievement that gives her knowledge of some epic killer dance sword technique that can supposedly destroy an opponent in six steps while keeping her royal bearing. I think of this grouping of traits as the connective tissue that keeps Bianca’s madness structured. When looked at this way, you can see how her ability to destroy with light and free goodness is wrapped in a princess persona that makes her both welcoming, glamorous, and deadly. It sells a story, in fact, where Bianca’s both charming and killer, both beautiful and battle ready. And the more I describe this, the more I find a spot of empathy in my black heart for the fools who stand in her way, such as myself that one time.

The third grouping joins Overcomer and Hellish Endurance. I found these two traits a little out of place at first glance, but I know deep down Bianca has more grit and scrappiness to her than it seems on the surface. I think this grouping is the most dangerous, because it’s not apparent that Bianca can take a punch, get back up, and come at you again and again like a terminator. That’s why the second grouping matters, because it hides Bianca’s hidden grittiness while combining with her power to smite foes.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

When it comes down to her skills, it’s a little troubling that I can see areas where she can be more flexible and cunning. But it’s possible that isn’t suitable for Bianca.

Unlike me, she can point, click, and kill. So, why not do more of that?

Super Serene Rampage +2 has found itself in the forefront of Bianca’s shifting style because it’s really great at making Bianca a juggernaut off the power of her Wonder stat alone. Of course, the aura cost is heinous, so Bianca can only play She-Hulk only every now and then, and not when against a real She-Hulk like Naomi.

Searing Flash Array +3 is the end all be all when Bianca wants to get serious, especially when its advancements grant it huge damage potential, reduced cost, and an enhancement for when the alignment is in effect, generating more power out of free good +6. So … yeah, point, click, die.

Refraction +2 is the type of skill that makes me think Bianca doesn’t care for tricks as much anymore. She’s more direct now. Sure, she can still do illusions proficiently. She can go invisible or make others go invisible. She can do a lot of clever tactics with this if the enemy is reliant on vision mainly. But Bianca likes this skill more for supporting Searing Flash Array +3 or for when she mixes it up with Light Construction +2.

Light Construction +2 is by far the most comic book part of Bianca’s profile. If anyone hasn’t figured it out, this skill basically makes Bianca a Green Lantern. Of course, she enjoys using it for conjuring swords of light that make her look like a Jedi. But now and then, when the heat is dialed up, I see Bianca getting more creative with this skill – I love it when she forms copies of herself using Refraction +2, since they can strike with hard light swords because of Light Construction +2.

Light Step +2 has seen less use as of late, and that’s not a bad thing. Bianca’s becoming more proficient at moving with her own two solid feet. She can use this skill to turn into a bunch of lights more sparingly to catch enemies off guard instead of relying on it. But if she wants to be scary, she can also use this skill for offensive purposes and burn through a mob like apocalyptic death locusts sent by the heavens.

Shining Mark +2 hasn’t seen its fair share of use, to be honest, and is most likely going to stay in the beta section. There’s been a few missed opportunities to make it shine for real, pun intended. I remember how annoying it was to have this applied to me when Bianca and I had that fight before the Dark Apocalypse. The fact that it hinders the focus of the victim, reduces evil powers, and increases the accuracy of allies on a marked target makes it a nice skill to have in Bianca’s back pocket for when she does use it effectively.

There’s also her Level 0 Wonderous Speed, which is still effective on her, and her feathery fedora wizard hat, another Level 0.

Looking back at what I’ve written so far, it seems like I’ve been overly negative towards Bianca’s way of doing things. That’s not fair to her.

But I think I’m writing this down because she’s in a weird position that puts her in Tier 4 even though there is a possibility that she can’t muster that Tier 4 destructiveness when she’s on a downward spiral. That and looking at how she’s progressed herself so far has revealed a few holes in her game that can use some tightening up.

The biggest issue is she’s still an aura guzzler, maybe more so now than ever. If it wasn’t for the fact that her attacks can come out extremely powerful, she would be more reliant on others to keep her going.

Regardless of all of that, I’m proud of her.

She didn’t let what happened with traditional good +5 bring her down completely. She looks brighter and ready for action. She truly overcame that setback.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She can iron out the kinks in her tactics with more time and growth. Besides, her potential is so powerful she is still ahead of Hannah and Gilbert, and she’s a low key threat to Naomi.

Maybe not even low key since I’m still unsure of how far free good +6 can push things. Maybe she can skip past Naomi and threaten me. Wouldn’t that be a shocker?

So what roles of Bianca can we see in our party?

None.

None that are solid, really.

Bianca is going to be Bianca. I think it’s safe to give up on putting her in a box. She will still attempt to fulfill anyone’s requests, but then she might quickly redirect depending on something she can sense that we can’t.

Having 738 Wonder is significant. Bianca can perceive things that’s different from what Hannah and I can sense with our aura abilities.

I trust that Hannah and I can sense 99% of problems. Bianca can sense the 1% thing that we can’t.

With that said, if I was to construct two or three roles for Bianca, I can see her as Sword Princess Bianca or Demigoddess Bianca. Neither would have a change in which skills were alpha or beta. That doesn’t matter as much. It’s the philosophy of her approach that matters.

Will Bianca strut forward and defeat an enemy in six dancing steps? That’s Sword Princess Bianca.

Or will Bianca point, click, and smite without even having to lift a finger? That’s Demigoddess Bianca.

Since Bianca’s going to be Bianca, I imagine she’ll shift from one version to another. And if she’s feeling really helpful, we might even get the rare version of her that’s Bright Support Bianca.

So yeah, that’s the three possibilities of Bianca we can see from her at any time: Sword Princess, Demigoddess, and Bright Support.

I wish I could pin her down better for party optimization and forewarning. But she is free good +6, so I’m going to let Bianca’s mood take the wheel there on how she fits.

Even if she does surprising stuff, it’s going to be for the better.
