Lambda with a reader that helped free her

You put the boxes Kokonoe asked for down in her lab. As you turned around you noticed she wasn’t in the room. Instead there was only Lambda who was doing something with an old box of cheap toys. 

She did know you were there but didn’t pay you any mind. You got closer to take a look at what she was doing. She was trying to open one of the dolls with a box cutter. The sight reminded you of it. Of what happened. It was long ago by now but the things you saw were still fresh in your mind.

“Can you please stop that.” you asked her through gritted teeth and with clenched fists.

“Why?” she asked back, not taking her eyes off her work.

“I just don’t like seeing it.” you made up an excuse.

“I don’t understand.”

“Just stop doing it.”

“It’s a doll, it feels no pain.”

Those words sent you over the edge.

“JUST STOP DOING THAT TO HER!” you yelled as you shoved the toy out from under the knife.

Lambda was looking up at you wide eyed.

“L-look I’m sorry it’s just…” you tried apologizing while still shaking after your sudden outburst. Then you noticed her break eye contact and look down.

“You’re hurt.” she stated simply.

Looking down, your hand was bleeding. You had cut yourself when you moved the doll.

“I’ll get a medkit.” 

You could only silently nod in response, clutching your hand as you started to register the pain.

You were sitting on a chair in awkward silence as Lambda took care of your wound. You wanted to apologize for your outburst but were struggling to find the words. It was then that Lambda broke the silence with two simple words.

“Thank you.”

“For what?” you couldn’t help but wonder.

“For taking me away from that place.”

“Oh. That’s nothing, I mean you don’t even remember it.”

“Yes but…” she started the sentence as she finished wrapping your wound.

“... without you I’d still be there.” she said as she topped the wrap off with a cute bow.

She looked up into your eyes and all you could do was respond with a soft smile. You used your freshly wrapped hand to pull her head towards you and give her a kiss on the forehead.

Drawing Lambda every Day: Day 2 - Bunny Lamb

I think painted style will be my most common one as it is faster and more enjoyable for me.

[mizukagami-takamagahara]

Three of the 1⭐ Grimoires in BlazBlue Alternative Dark War were designed as a set invoking the protagonist trio at the heart of the C-series. All drawn by Kadokawa Corporation, these cards (Rapid Attack, Special Attack, and Super Attack) depict each of the protagonists' weapons; Noel's Bolverk, Jin's Yukianesa, and Ragna's Aramasa.

The colors match up the their respective characters pretty well too; Ragna gets his red, Jin gets his blue, and though Noel is also often associated with blue, the olive green here matches her eyes.

These Grimoire cards weren't strong, and weren't likely to be used unless you had no other options, but it's fun to look at their effects with their associated characters in mind.

Rapid Attack granted its holder a 20-25% boost to their Revolver attacks, the command card used to fill up the Overdrive Gauge. Once the meter was full, this mechanic allowed a player to string together a 'combo' of up to 12 hits, three times the normal amount for a single turn.

I find this a fun touch for a character like Noel, who's MO in combat is to attack with a relentless barrage courtesy of Bolverk. 'Rapid' explains it pretty nicely.

However, the Noel units we got in game weren't especially Revolver-focused. Her main 5⭐ form was a Heat unit, designed to generate as much Heat as possible by using her Drive commands, then spam Distortions or even her Astral. Her Distortion Drive available in the game (each unit only got one) did have the secondary effect of dumping more points into the Overdrive Gauge, so I guess you could say she was a bit of a hybrid unit, but there were many more Revolver oriented characters. Her 4⭐ Academy unit had a few more Overdrive-focused quirks, like an Overdrive bomb on her Astral and the Charging Trigger passive giving her a constant 10% boost to her Revolver attacks, but it still has a much more notable Heat focus, with both of her skills being designed to increase the amount of meter she can generate. And her Christmas unit has no Revolver support at all!

The confusingly named Special Attack Grimoire, depicting Jin's Yukianesa, offers a 20-25% buff to Drive attacks. Not Special attacks, which were a different command card. Drive attacks, as mentioned above, were the command card you would use when trying to fill your Heat meter so you could use all your cool supers. The card type Noel's kit consistently had buffs for. Did Jin's???

Nope. Well, okay, he did have one passive that boosted his Heat Generation, but it was a situation specific passive that would only activate if he had allies flanking him. The majority of his kit was actually built in service of his Special attacks, which lowered the Defense of his target, to then be abused by his own Attack buff and multiple Freeze options. I guess you could say he was in some way Heat-dependant, because most of his Freeze options were locked behind a Heat/meter cost, but still, he feels more like a Special unit to me.

And it's Ragna's Super Attack grimoire that carried the 20-25% Special buff. Tragically, we never did get a Ragna unit, despite evidence suggesting he was going to be released for the game's one year anniversary.

With the trend we've seen so far- Jin's Grimoire being more suitable for Noel, Ragna's being more suitable for Jin- would this suggest that, were he added to the game, Ragna would have been a Revolver focused unit???

I don't think so. I really like this trend of the siblings' Grimoires here each helping another member of the family, but if Ragna were to be added to the game, I think it's more likely that his kit would focus on some kind of Drain effect similar to Saya Terumi or Fuzzy's units, both of whom as Special-focused units.

Revolver-focused units were generally characters who hit hard and fast, like Makoto, Lambda, Jubei, and both of the Kaka girls implemented. They had speed themes in their fighting style, one we see reflected in Noel's hybrid kit as well, that just... doesn't fit anything I've ever associated with Ragna.

So I guess this whole essay just amounts to "the pictures are the siblings' weapons, isn't that neat?" Sometimes things just aren't that deep. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
