My Hero Academia: Aura Farming

[MrOutsider]

Sick burn. The ability has that name for a reason.

 

[Sceonn]

My fingers were ready, keyboard primed. But alas, he had his priorities straight so I can only swallow it.

 

[LeonT]

Ah yes, the "this is just a Doom Bot" technique.

Very handy.

 

[Carnub]

Yo really cool twist him being a clone! Also in character considering his priorities, cool chap op!

 

[ArbC2]

I was close,very close,to writing up a LOT of choice words. At least until the end. I did not expect that and that changed the whole scene into being badass as fuck,even if less collateral would have been good

 

[godofsystems]

Like everyone else so far has said, that was a damm good twist. 10/10. Thanks for the chapter, now lets see how we handles eri as well as what in tarnation Taka is going to do in the aftermath. [ with that much collateral, some civilian could have record it. And if Overhaul sreaming was loud enough, yeah aint no way this isnt going to be known to the prinicpial regardless if Monkey man tells him [ cant recall his name rn.] ]

 

[leks]

I expected it to be a clone from the very beginning. just because it would be cooler.

 

[Kachellzz]

I do feel like this operation didn't give him any additional aura. The effort, collateral damage and getting tricked by Overhaul gave him negative aura. It being a clone gave him enough aura not to remain in the negative. It balances out, but isn't the aurafarming moment it could have been.

He's running around as Sasuke and Ichigo as opposed to Madara and Aizen, if you catch my drift. He succeed and was cool, but wasn't the untouchable troll true aura farmers are.

Nah it's the opposite. The clone being "beaten" just for more to show up, was like Madara going "So you dealt with my meteor. What about the second one?"

Being so dominant, then getting snuck, just to reveal you aren't even the real one; it's like taking a flat debuff so that the next attack has a damage multiplier. No different from letting the opponent stab you so that you can grab their arm to hold them in place.

Nah, because a clone of Madara would never even been hurt to begin with. Getting snuck by an inferior individual already means you lost aura.

Nah, because Madara has been outmaneuvered plenty of times because of his arrogance and underestimating his opposition, and bounced back fine with even more aura to show for it (Gaara's sand bypassing susanoo, getting ragdolled by Temari, Tsunade cracking his susanoo, etc.). It's like a roller coaster, just having the longest drop (constantly stunting on the enemy) doesn't make it the most fun (diminishing returns on aura). It's all about comparing the lows to the highs. Why the hell do you think one of the all time peaks of Aura farming was Estarosa Full Countering Escanor's attack, and Escanor's response was literally just "Oh, that makes sense. It was my own strength that hurt me!"

Clone Taka got cocky, got snuck, proved to his opponent that he was outmatched as fuck anyway, and proceeded to heal right back up to full hp in under a minute right in front of him.

That's aura. Not just perfect no-hit playing with your foe. The fact that he's confident enough to play at a level that allows him to make mistakes and still come out on top casually is what makes it aura when you're not a "i planned everything" schemer like Aizen.
