Geralt & Apex
Geralt, you always brag about being the best hunter—what's your secret for staying one step ahead of a monster?
You don’t stay one step ahead because you’re better; you stay one step ahead because you know what they’re like, you listen to the world around you, you keep your sword sharp, and you never underestimate a creature. I’ve learned that patience and preparation beat raw skill every time.
Nice theory, but I don’t wait for a creature to show its weakness— I make it happen before it even knows I'm coming.
If you strike first, you’re always playing the game of surprise. Just make sure the surprise is one you can survive.
Sure, a surprise works if you can finish the job before the monster even knows what hit it. I keep my blade ready, not my patience.
If you strike first, make sure the strike is clean. A blade that waits only gives the beast a chance to learn. Keep your edge ready, but never let it blind you to what’s coming next.
