"My fireball will tear you apart!"
"Ha! Taste my gunfire!"
In Arlo's arena, a high-level mage was dueling with a ranger. Normally speaking, the ranger would continuously adjust the distance and angle between them, making all sorts of fancy movements to dodge the mage's spells in order to find a chance at landing a winning attack. However, if the ranger happened to have a steed, the ranger would have an even greater advantage in mobility and the number of their attacks.
Meanwhile, the typical tactics of a high-level mage were the opposite. The mage would cast a bunch of defensive magic spells on themselves and then summon a bunch of cannon fodder. They would finally balance attack and defence magic spells and search for a chance to defeat the opponent.
This was still a duel between an elf ranger and a mage. However, the spectators didn't really understand what was going on this time.
