Of course, the staunchest advocate of going on the offensive in the entire Demon Slayer Corps now...
Was actually the usually quiet Tamayo.
After learning that Muzan had appeared, the Demon Madam had practically moved into her laboratory and never come out again.
Even Xia Xi rarely got to see her.
He could only hear from Yushiro that she had pulled another all-nighter.
At the desperate pace she was working...
Xia Xi reckoned it probably would not be long before the special drug targeting the Demon King was developed.
And Xia Xi, feeling the pressure of the final battle for the first time...
Could not help pondering something.
In terms of numerical design, just how much would Tamayo have to contribute to this final battle to earn [MVP]?
With the Demon Madam's miserable stats...
Fighting head-on was clearly out of the question.
Even teaming her up with Yushiro might not be enough to beat Upper Rank Six.
Then the greatest contribution she could make...
Would most likely be the intelligence she had acquired through centuries of familiarity, along with the various poisons she had painstakingly developed.
Xia Xi speculated based on his past experience with other games.
For a noncombat support character like her to take the top MVP spot in a thirty-person raid...
Her direct damage output did not necessarily have to be the highest.
But it at least needed to stay above the team's average.
Besides that, she would have to provide over half the support debuffs and their uptime.
Of course, Xia Xi suspected...
Beyond these, the data Tamayo could provide about Muzan and the crucial intelligence targeting the Demon King...
Hmm... perhaps also the drugs and antidotes she supplied...
Might all count toward the overall calculation for that [Best overall] rating.
Then, working backward from that
