I will assume standard 2 subs and 2 recovers/ 5 chills, since neither of you specified it.

Wonderful matchup...

Taunt-Leech Seed-Leaf Storm.

Envy, lets do this!
Fake Out--> Protect--> Yawn

Well this is an easy round.

HP: 100

Nidhogg
HP: 100

3/3/3/3/113



And as soon as we begin, the tricky antics of Kitsunoh are already starting as she rushes up to Nidhogg and claps her hands right in front of her face, faking her out completely and causing the grass snake to reel back in surprise, leaving her to do nothing at all!

Wanting to get a bit of recovery, even though its still very early in the match, Nidhogg begins launching several seeds at Envy, but it turns out that the ghost already has a protective shield around it, and the seeds harmlessly bounce off, then disappear, leaving both Nidhogg and Lupus quite angry!

What's this? How could Envy be tired alread- Oh, I see! It's just her Yawn attack, and it looks like Nidhogg is getting ready to take a nap! Looks like she's going to launch at least one attack before she takes a break though, as Nidhogg whips up an entire swarm of leaves, and then sends them all flying at Envy! Looks like that didn't do too much, but the fact that the grass snake looks quite a bit stronger after that attack, it doesn't look like Ranger should let his guard down!

Wow this was an easy-ass round to ref.

While Nidhogg takes a bit of time to protect himself with a green veil, shielding him from some of the shenanigans Ranger might use, Envy just digs underground and stays put, doing absolutely nothing but burning EN!

However, it doesn't look like Lupus cares about that, as he commands Nidhogg to whip up another storm of leaves, but they just sail right over the hole where Envy is lying in wait, missing completely! Meanwhile, it looks like Envy must be planning something (or just jacking off) down there, as he's still not coming up!

And it still looks like Nidhogg and Lupus don't care that they can't hit the tricky ghost, and Nidhogg tries to drain some HP from it, but once again, the attack just sails over the hole! Finally, Envy pops out of the hole... and does next to no damage at all. In fact, the Leech Seed from last round allowed Nidhogg to gain HP this round, and Ranger's plan to drain Nidhogg's EN has practically backfired, as now he only has a tiny advantage in HP, and it looks like he is beginning to run low on energy as well!

Who will gain the advantage in this next round?!

It looks like the audience is getting restless... They want action! They want excitement! They want you guys to finish this up already, or at least want something other than you guys trying to EN KO each other...

Lupus, by making this battle go faster, I didn't mean kill yourself @_@

I'm lazy, so I'll just put in the calcs for Nidhogg's EN, as there is a 0% chance Lupus' actions will KO Envy this round.

Action 1
Leech Seed -> Envy (9 EN)

Action 2
Leaf Storm -> Envy (8 EN)

Action 3
Giga Drain -> Envy (11 EN)
Nidhogg fainted!

Sue me.

Prize time!

Ranger gets 1 CC
Envy the Kitsunoh gets 3 MC and 1 KOC

Lupus gets 1 CC
Nidhogg the Serperior gets 3 MC

waterwarrior gets 2 UC

Good game you guys, and sorry for my laziness.
