Poll 1 Result: Nova VS Emeraldine

-> Poll 3: Who are you supporting? 

In their first fight ever, the nurse faces off with the forest dweller.

Nova:

- Nova deals 50% more damage when administering a knockout punch
- Nova's punches stop her opponent's stun healing for 0.5 extra seconds and stamina healing for 1 second
- Nova's health heals over time but no longer recovers stamina over time  

Nova's training is about being effective and fit. This week, she must focus on quickly knocking out Emeraldine by mixing body and face shots, as body shots don't enrage Emeraldine into doing more damage. Nova needs to chain hits together to stop Emeraldine from recovering and attacking back. But because Emeraldine is more immune to staggering and knockbacks, Nova has to trade attacks frequently and hope her attacks can get through her opponent's defenses as Nova packs one hell of a knockout punch.

Emeraldine:

- Less likely to get staggered when hit, and gain damage reduction while blocking
- Emeraldine gains extra damage for 1 second after getting hit in the face
- Emeraldine is less likely to be defensive when against ropes

Emeraldine, on the other hand, thrives in the brawl and gains strength when struck in the face. She's fearless in combat, always pushing forward, even when backed into the ropes. Her strategy is to keep Nova in close, forcing a toe-to-toe fight and making the most of her strength after taking hits. Emeraldine should focus on dodging as to avoid getting stung by Nova's punches. If Emeraldine takes too long to handle her opponent, it will put her in a vulnerable position.
