Did you know the Devs were actually paid to make Virtuosa?
Like they were actually given money, probably even in a salary format, to sit down and make her for months and months, Real Life Dollars!!! They got paid to eat crayons for 4 months then realized they only had 2 months to make a character, that meant one more month of crayons before they had to start working on her.
The best part about her is that she reaaaaally leans into the rapier part of her kit, as you probably know rapiers fighting styles are about standing still and not blocking at all and relying solely on dodging and kicking or throwing your sword into the air and grabbing it by the blade to swing around. I remember when ole Alphonse Wolfgang de'Montemorency first invented that in a duel against his lover's harceleuse. Ahhh those were the days... of course he still lost.... Twas a good bout nonetheless, three swift cuts and he was done. Fever took him three days later god bless. And Antione De Bouviea! You'll swear me a liar but you weren't there, he dodged an entire ballista bolt! Said he had been training his life for it. Of course he was taken by a blow that glowed blue for some god forsaken reason, the devils work you ask me. If those stories fancied ya, wait till I tell you about Bête De'Arse, that fool tried to deflect a blow with his sword and strike at his opponents heart! You ever heard of that?! Fool he be, may he rest.
