They're mainly there for support and work best in teams.

Indeed. Kohaku is the one that's moving the pieces.

If she were a chess piece, she'd be a knight, since she manipulates rather than using forward approach.

>> No.795051

>>795009
Being manipulative only works when you're in the right spot with the proper leverages (support). Akiha would've acted even without Kohaku's support (Kohaku was only there to make sure any counter attack would be met with a quick defeat), but without Akiha's backing Kohaku, Kohaku couldn't have done anything except talk to herself.

Agreed. Saber is powerful in close range and she's quick. I don't think she could be a Queen given her liminited long range skills, but she could be a Knight.

The king is a vital piece since its game over once its gone, but isn't a powerful one.

I can't think of many visual novel characters that fit that description... both of the characters that are described as the king in this thread are better suited to be compared to the queen, the piece that's important because its so powerful.

Damn it..

>> No.795148

>>795075

No. Kohaku is a knight. (the indirect piece.)

Arcueid is the queen. (the ultimate offensive piece)

Akiha and Ciel are rooks or bishops. (decent offensive pieces, though not as powerful as the queen)

Hisui is a pawn. (since the only thing that she can do is restore life force)

Arihiko isn't even on the chess board.

>> No.795151

>>795074
she did, but look, her abilities affect only those around her and only those people who fall within her control. A pawn can control where a Queen goes by Blocking her path and having a support or even kill a Queen, but that doesn't mean that Kohaku can physically attack someone on the other side of the board beyond the reach of her voice. In the game, the only people she manipulated were those very close to her and who she was in contact with.

Think about it.

The protagonists are pretty damn powerful. They try to play them down by putting all of these limitations on them, but they always manage to work through or around those limitations to take out powerful opponents when they need to. And normally, the fight would still go on without them. (even if its a bad end for the player)

They're closer to being rooks/bishops. Not the most powerful pieces on the board, but they're up there.
