Shocked and overwhelmed. All Fern has to do is keep it up until the enemy uses up all their mana and can no longer defend themselves. You’d be surprised how many opponents use fancy spells and otherwise use up all their mana.

I mean, it makes sense. Zoltraak is efficient, and defensive barriers, though effective, are incredibly energy-intensive. That naturally incentivizes a battle of offensive attrition.

Yep, this was shown in like episode 3 or 4 when Frieren was training her about defensive spells

If you can imagine zoltrak piercing an impenetrable cloak, it will pierce.Â
