Riful was younger than both Miata and Priscilla

Looking back, Riful probably became a warrior at a younger age than even Miata. In the flashback chapter, warrior Riful looked like a little child. The claymore sword on her back seemed to be longer than her entire height, its tip almost touching the ground. Meanwhile, Miata was a child warrior as well, but her sword doesn’t look disproportionately long compared to her body the way Riful’s sword did.

If Riful was indeed younger than Miata at the time she became a warrior, then it’s very interesting because of how sane she was. With Miata, and even Priscilla, both became warriors while still very young, and both had very childish, underdeveloped mentality (constantly calling out for daddy/mama, losing temper very easily). On the contrary, Riful seemed very level headed and confident. In the flashback chapter, she seemed more mature than even Dauf, and of course later, she awakened into the cruel, sadistic, cunning Abyssal One of the West, one of the brainiest awakened beings in the entire story, while awakened Priscilla kept acting like a child and throwing tantrums left and right.

Oh how the turn tables

I'm playing the new Solo Leveling game and in the intro some of the warriors were called "Awakened Beings" and they hunt down monsters. Perhaps the creator of Solo Levelling coincidentally referenced Claymore?

Why did Isley make Priscilla go away?

When the Abyss Feeders began hunting him, Isley made Priscilla and Raki go away to protect them. But, uh... Why? If he thought Priscilla could be in danger, then shouldn't he have kept her by his side? Didn't he want Priscilla dead? And didn't he think that Priscilla could easily kill the Abyss Feeders?

I am a bit confused by Isley's mentality.

Are there any other Claymore/Witcher fanfics?

I'm just looking to see if there are any Claymore/Witcher fanfic where Raiki and Clare cross paths with a certain White Wolf of Rivia. So far all I could find were two crossover fics on fanfiction.net and they haven't even been completed yet.

The “dust eater” is the strongest technique

I think Cassandras dust eater is the strongest technique of all the claymores (aside from Teresas yoki sensing, but that’s straight up cheating). Although I see a lot of people find it funny and weird, I feel it would actually look a lot more badass if it was animated. Probably would still look a bit strange, but that is what makes it so powerful, the unorthodox approach to combat completely catching the enemy off guard. Also, a technique elevating her from number 5 all the way to number 1 and staying number 1 for a long time is a testament to its strength.

Me again! I’m now working on a mod to add the claymores to fallout 4

I was disappointed to see there wasn’t any actual claymore mods for fallout 4 so I just decided to make one myself. I’m pretty stupid so it’s taken a bit but expect to see an update in the next couple of days.

Theory on The Long-Haired Awakened Being's ranking

Good day, everyone. How are you all doing?

Today, I would like to try and theorize on the ranking of the Awakened Being that Ophelia, Clare & Raki encountered. Forgive me if this seems like a pointless sh*tpost. I just had no other ideas on what to post.

According to Rubel, the long-haired Awakened Being was once ranked within the single digits, but not a Creature of The Abyss, so right away, we can at least narrow it down between numbers 2 - 9.

We've seen the Awakened Form of Jean, the #9 warrior, but she didn't seem as big & strong as the long-haired Awakened Being. We've also seen the Awakened form of Lars, tge #6 male, but he didn't seem very strong. We've also seen the Awakened forms of 2 number 4s: Ophelia & Chronos, yet both seemed like they weren't really capable of fighting the long-haired Awakened Being.

Ophelia only managed to kill the long-haired Awakened Being because she tricked the Awakened Being into thinking that she was dead, and Ophelia sliced her head off with a sword, but I think Ophelia would lose to the long-haired Awakened Being if they were to fight in Ophelia's Awakened form, as Ophelia doesn't seem to wield her sword in such a form.

When the remaining single digit Awakened Beings surrounded Rabona, the strongest among them was #2 Octavia the Wild Horse. Almost everyone else was killed by Priscilla & 2 were sent flying all the way to Rabona and were killed by Clare & the others, but neither seemed capable of defeating the long-haired Awakened Being.

Dauf was #3 of the male warriors but I think the long-haired Awakened Being was capable of defeating him. She could just slap away all of Dauf's pillars.

With these in mind, I think that we can deduce numbers 4 - 9 out of the equation.

Next, I think we can try comparing the long-haired Awakened Being to a pair of number 2s that we did see, those number 2s being Octavia & Agatha. Agatha was able to do massive damage to Rabona all on her own, just like the long-haired Awakened Being did when she spun her long hairs around to try & kill Ophelia & Clare.

Octavia also had the ability to "unwrap" her arms & whip them around, similar to the long-haired Awakened Being.

When I first saw Riful after seeing the long-haired Awakened Being, I thought, "Wow, Riful looks like the Awakened Being Ophelia killed", and the 2 did have many similarities, but of course the Awakened Being wasn't an abyssal.

With this in mind, I believe that the Awakened Being could've been a #2, as she was stronger than #4s like Ophelia & Chronos, all the way down to #9 Jean.

I think she also could've given Rigaldo & Dauf a fun time, and be on par with Agatha & Octavia.

TL;DR She's probably a #2 as she was similar to 2 number 2s (Octavia & Agatha) and stronger than every other single digit Awakened Being who wasn't an Abyssal.

Thanks :3 and God bless.
