Corvo Attano vs. Susan Sto Helit

[Alias]

Susan's concerned about some of Emily's drawings. Corvo feels anyone who can do complex square roots in their head is probably a witch.

They will see no reason,
'Cause there are no reasons,
What reason do you need to... yeah, you get the point.

[Nik Hasta]

Susan can stop time indefinitely while Corvo had limits on that as far as I recall.

So unless he can kill her before his energy runs out, she wins.

[Alias]

Corvo has (much like Susan, actually) proven to be outright immune to time-stop while fighting Daud, though - presumably even if you'd previously put no points at all into the skill. In that respect, he might actually be better off mechanically with only one rank; that could potentially place him on a higher footing, whereas with two they'd just be on an even keel again. Either way, he had ranged weapons, Blink (at-least, most players will have had it), and access to mana-restoration potions, so time - or the lack of it - shouldn't quite be the only factor here.

[Radioactive Zombie]

Actually, if I recall, Daud's the one who counters Corvo's time-stop, if you use it on him.

[WhiteKnight344]

If Daud sees you on low chaos, he'll stop time to keep his men from interfering in your fight, leaving just the two of you to duel.

No opinion on the fight as I have no clue who Susan is, just thought I'd mention that.

[Alias]

She's helpfulness personified, if that's any help at all.
