Shalltear - How she could have won

“No, sorry. It was nothing. Getting back to the topic at hand, I’m bringing Shalltear along this time to test her suitability. Shalltear was created as the strongest of the floor guardians. If she had fought correctly back then, even I wouldn’t have been able to beat her.”

“I don’t think that’s—”

“No, it’s true. If I were Shalltear, I would have created Einherjar from the start. Then, while my opponent was busy fighting my double, I would have prepped for combat, using as many spells as my mana would allow, and then followed up with skills. Then I would have figured out a way to activate Blood Frenzy and gone in for close combat with the Pipette Lance while my attack strength was boosted.” Ainz smiled awkwardly. “If she had come at me like that, I would have withdrawn with zero hesitation.”

Discounting skills, Ainz was a little stronger in combat than average out of all the players. Then, Shalltear’s class build and gear choices were a little weaker than the best. If her gear were complete—with all god-tier items—then she would probably be the middle of the best. And if she could change gear depending on her opponent, she would probably secure a place in the highest ranks.
