Willow,

Almost by the end and what a journey it has been. It’s great to see you have gone so far into these games, I want you to know that I am very proud of your performance so far. Seeing the Anti-careers fall from your side, days for days must not have been easy, yet your strength has really proven itself in the end. You have shown true courage, not losing hope in tough situations and time after time standing against careers, dueling them. You may not be a career, but I truly believe you have the strength of one.

Think about home, with all of the girls and their make-up, their talks about clothing which you never understood why were so important. Their comments about how you would never get a boy friend or never be beautiful. Well lets show them that were you might not understand the difference between eyeliner and mascara, you know the ups and downs on axes and how to kill a person if it means your own survival. Let’s show the little ladies just what the tomboyish girl is capable of, shall we?

Now let’s get to the actual advice, after that little roll of encouragement. Don’t roll your eyes at it, I know you think it’s stupid and pointless, but I used a long time writing it, ya know? Anyway, the advice:

First you must know your enemies, the people whom you are up against. Most of them you have known within an alliance, this would be Robin and Corona. I need you to use that mental strength you have when you’re fighthing them, as you CANNOT look at them as being your allies. Hydrus used to be your ally too, that’s sad, but now he’s death,  you said goodbye to him and there’s nothing more you can do. Discharge yourself mentally from your allies. Say goodbye to them within yourself before going into the final battle. Then enter the battlefield with no regrets.

Your opponents are first of Alexander from District 2, and Shermaine from District 4, both careers. Then we have Corona from 0 and Robin Virgo from 8, both anti-careers.

As for the arena, again, I have no idea where the finale will take place. Mostlikely, the gamemakers will use some kind of obstacle to gather you all together (fire is often used, but it could be anything really, so be prepared). The cornucopia field is often used, which is good for you. You’re a soldier, that is your kind of arena. However, an arena with obstacles aren’t exactly all bad either as your stamina is great. This should make you able to use obstacles to your advantages, especially if there is some kind of rocky ground, to where, your climbing skill would give you an advantage. You’re probably more aware of what you can and cannot climb, so if you see some kind of arena where you just think: “You know what? I could climb that,” try and get over there, especially if you’re in a battle, so that you by the change of terrain can get the upper hand.

Now there’s the opponents, and I will go over all of them. You’re welcome.

Robin – This guy would be your first or second  priority. You can choose it yourself. He’s cunning and clever and not to be left out of sight, as he could potentially cause you quite a lot of trouble if you don’t watch him, which is why he’s to die first. His main weakness is the fact that he cannot kill in distant range, which is where you have quite the upper hand, as you can throw your axes into his face. Try and act as if you do not target him. Move away from him, not as far as you get out of range, but as far as it doesn’t seem like you’ll charge at him. Then throw your axe at him. If you miss your first shot, I don’t want you risk throwing (and thereby losing) another axe. Which is why you must go into near fight with him. Use your far range of the axes to keep him distances from you, and behead like you would with any piece of lumber.

Corona – And then we have Corona, the female of District 0. This girl would be your first or second  priority. You can choose it yourself. It’s quite a shame she has to die, as you’re so much alike, however remember that you don’t owe her anything. Infact, you took your time to say goodbye to her beloved Hydrus, which she didn’t, so infact, if anyone owns anyone anything, she owns you. So don’t let your similar personality get in the way of kicking some butt. Anyways, as for battle strategy, both of you are far-ranged combat’ers. However, where her knives has range, they’re quite useless close by, as they won’t be able to be thrown with enough power. Here, an axe is much more convenient because of it’s larger weight. If you’re gonna battle Corona get somewhat close, but not in near combat with her, and use the fact that your axes are better thrown in short ranged than her knives to your advantage.

Alexander - Do NOT target him, when the battle is beginning. Simple as that. Shermaine and Alexander has unfinished business,  so they’ll mostlikely attack each other. Shermaine took the sugared lover-crush of his life, and he took her eye, so they’re as you can understand not exactly the best of friends. Because of this, they’ll mostlikely target each other, and hopefully, one of them will take each other out. Leave him alone, until his battle with Shermaine is over. However, we sadly can’t know which person they’ll take out so IF Alexander is the one to survive the battle, here’s what you do:

Mostlikely, Alexander will be very tired from fighting with Shermaine, and mostlikely won’t run straight into battle after battling with her. But you can. Run straight up to him and attack while he’s still trying to get his energy back from that fight. Behead, kill him, do whaever really. Just show him why the Anti-careers are much better than any career could ever be. He’ll be sort of a wild-card. When the battle between him and Shermaine is done, just kill him as quickly as possible.

'''(I will write this as if I did not know Shermaine’s battle tactic against either Willow or Alexander) '''

Shermaine – As for with Alexander, don’t target them at first, as they’re gonna have their little show-off. After that show-off, if Shermaine makes it out, she’ll probably be in rage, filled with arrogance from her victory over Alexander, but also more tired than she might think she is. She’ll be your fourth priority, as she her speed is quite deadly. If you get into a battle with her, get one single powerful blow to finish her. DON’T LET THE BATTLE LAST.



Let’s show them just how strong you are,
