Oh! Ashe. Are you here to study too?
link
Ashe
volume_up

I am! It's quiet here. Easier to concentrate.
link
Annette
volume_up

It really is. Hey, would you like to study together? We can help each other out if we get stuck.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Oh, yes! We'll get a lot more done working together.

Uh... Hmm...
link
Annette
volume_up

What's the matter, Ashe?
link
Ashe
volume_up

This question's got me stumped.
link
Ashe
volume_up

"A ballista inside a castle is ready to fire at enemies outside. What angle should be used for the shot?
link
Ashe
volume_up

"Assume the ballista is the same as those in Garreg Mach. Ignore the effects of wind."
link
Ashe
volume_up

This is for defensive strategy, isn't it? Why is it so complicated? Don't you just aim and fire?
link
Annette
volume_up

Hmm... It may help to focus on maximizing target accuracy to reduce your miss rate.
link
Annette
volume_up

This is important stuff. This math will be useful on the battlefield one day.
link
Annette
volume_up

To start, let's sort out the setup. Let's see...using these ballista specifications...
link
Annette
volume_up

If the ballista quarrels follow this trajectory, they'll hit the enemy lines, right?
link
Ashe
volume_up

Oh, that makes sense! Because the enemy line will be here!
link
Annette
volume_up

That's it! OK, now try using that same technique and applying it to this other problem.
link
Ashe
volume_up

If the walls are this high, and the enemy lines are at that distance—ah! I think I see!
link
Annette
volume_up

I knew you'd get it.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Wow. I didn't expect math, of all things, to be useful in a siege.
link
Ashe
volume_up

This is tough. Numbers are not my strong suit.
link
Ashe
volume_up

But this really is the sort of thing you have to know if you want to command troops.
link
Annette
volume_up

That's true. But not everyone is good with numbers.
link
Annette
volume_up

That's why we have tacticians do these calculations for us, or prepare them before we go to battle.
link
Annette
volume_up

A century ago, the Empire's mathematicians played a huge role in the Battle of the Wall of Fódlan.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I had no idea. Hey, you really know what you're doing, Annette!
link
Annette
volume_up

You think so?
link
Ashe
volume_up

Definitely! You've obviously done a lot of studying. I really admire that.
link
Annette
volume_up

I suppose I have! Studying is a necessity if you want the advantage over your enemies.
link
Annette
volume_up

But necessity aside, it's nice to hear you say that.
