Pre-Match

In the gripping showdown between Loki and Titanblade, our journey took an unexpected turn as we faced off against the formidable Titanblade, renowned for its well-engineered design and powerful weaponry. As the match unfolded, the arena crackled with anticipation, and the tension was palpable.

Battle Begins

Despite our best efforts and Loki's impressive capabilities, victory ultimately eluded us. A critical oversight emerged during the heat of battle – the failure to secure or tape the weapon motor wires. In the chaos of combat, this seemingly minor detail proved to be our undoing, leaving Loki vulnerable and unable to unleash its full potential against the relentless onslaught of Titanblade's powerful weaponry.
