Even though Giftys are the arbiters of all styling battles, they show no sign of having any defensive abilities. It's also (somewhat) canon that Giftys are edible. This leads me to believe that at least some of them were hunted for food at some point.
This might be a controversial pick, considering Faewish Sprites have an entire organized force dedicated to fighting and are shown in-game actually beating people up.
However, I think that's literally just a skill issue. If I was fighting a Faewish Sprite, I would wait for it to fly at me with its stupid little wooden sword, and then I would hit it with a baseball bat and send it flying.
The only reason Faewish Sprites aren't ranked last is because 1. Giftys are pathetic in a fight and 2. I think they could probably shoot each other out of their canons at their opponents and do some real damage.
Most weapons wouldn't work on a Piecey because they're just pieces of cloth, but we do know from the Caged Greed boss fight that they can be taken down with enough blunt force trauma. That might be difficult because they can fly, but it's doable.
Alternatively, you could use a flamethrower.
They seem harmless and relatively easy to fight, but I don't think we should underestimate them. I feel like they could do a jumping kick at me and knock me over very easily. They could also hit me with their long frog tongues, and from there the fight would be over because I would be so uncomfortable that I would just have to leave.
The flamethrower would work on these guys as well.
To be honest, I think taking Momo down in a fight would be quite easy. It's actually Momo's grandpa that gives me pause. His abilities are unknown. I would proceed with caution.
Kilo is the only Cadenceborn we've met so far, and he seems relatively harmless. It's important to consider that we've never seen him truly threatened, though. Additionally, the other Cadenceborn could be lean mean killing machines, and we just don't know it yet.
The sheer size of the Cadenceborn also concerns me. I'm not sure what weapon would take a Cadenceborn down. What could penetrate their scaly exteriors? Much to think about.
These things scare me.
just discovered this image, expect to see this on all my art posts <3
honestly i would really die for some domestic and/or fluffy nidvette pre-rebellion. i read a fic where they briefly had a stay at a hotel with a pool. DAMN it was so perfect i wish someone would write a fic where it’s just nidvette going on a business holiday or something. THE FIC NAME IS “Dark Verdict” by Anonperegrine btw holy shit it’s fucking gold RRRRAAAAGSFSTHFHGS
i think about it every day and whenever i draw nidhogg i use THAT fic as my reference for his expressions. peregrine i love you and your writing has changed my life for the better AND worse godbless.

OKOK IM BEING CONVERTED I AM SEEING THIS VISION
yvette is so observant (it's the anxiety) she can read the exhaustion in someone's posture. the faraway look when someone looks through you, not at you. it reminds her of the prime minister and it makes her heart beat. beyond that,
those vulnerable moments spent with someone in close quarters. showing someone your back. reminders to eat. smiles so soft and understanding that the outcome was unavoidable no matter the origin. ivetta, your smile you only reserve for one person, but you showed that precious thing to me, a tool, why? with nothing behind it, how? how long can an act continue before it becomes reality?
lies about your past. your future. our future. then there are the truths you don't bother to hide. the early mornings, the smell of smoke, two fingers on your temple. you are capable of being honest, and you are capable of being gentle. even if your softness was a lie, you were soft. something within you caged and reserved extended its emaciated arm without knowing the resounding implications of its awakening
the delusion. alluding to the idea of being something more. freedom from your burden. a different path from the one you've chosen. hope that's so real to yvette, as if she could make one leave behind what you've already given up your life to: you've been a dead man walking, but when you look at her eyes she sees something else, something imaginary but so real, like a funhouse reflection, twisted, yet strikingly recognizable at parts
yvette being someone so insignificant to everyone in her life but making them acknowledge things they've never considered before, always on accident. that kind of effect no one else can achieve because she'd gone unnoticed until she'd already nested under your skin. i have nothing nothing to fear but you disturb me. your kindness is a twisted interpretation of who you think i am. you're like a sun that's too bright on a day that's too cold.
tldr: the trope where you see a typically cold character show hidden kindness or a strong character showing their tired side to an animal but it's yvette (not an animal, just bnuy codedÂą) and she's like that shit was real yo and ozeca is like uhh. (but some of it might've unfortunately been real, or at least a 1 to 1 reflection of how she is when she's being real.) them mutually bringing out the best in each other in the worst of situations with absolutely ZERO synergy it's awesome
