WC3 Blademaster is pretty bonkers for a game that's pretty balanced otherwise.

Lorraine 40t. It has its weaknesses, but still an average player will have a 57% win ratio in it. It would probably win 80% of the duels its its counterparts.

Yeah, it's Cinder from Killer Instinct. You could spam his forward forward punch (low?) for an 80+ Ultra combo, assuming your opponent didn't know what combo breakers are.

I think Orchid was the most played character though, because of her finisher. :X Cinder is listed as top tier, but I think it's just cause the game didn't get very mature. He has a lot of stupid glitches and tornado bullshit, but it's kind of predictable.

The battle with Absolute Virtue, along with the entire Lumoria NM System, was released in the July 19, 2005 Version Update. The level cap then was 75.
Absolute Virtue is better known by its nickname "AV" by players across the globe.
Due to the tediousness of Chain of Promathia missions, the ease of access to Lumoria, the difficulty of Lumoria NMs and the punishing drop rate for triggers, Absolute Virtue would not be seen by players until 3 months after the NM system was introduced.
Absolute Virtue was not always a 100% spawn upon the defeat of Jailer of Love.
Absolute Virtue is notorious for being the longest running NM that remained undefeated by players through legitimate means. This added to the unpopularity of the development team at the time, because any method deemed unacceptable by them would be nerfed from the game.
The methods to curb Absolute Virtue's difficulty were officially revealed when the development team released a video with hints on how to defeat it in 2008, nearly 3 years after the battle was introduced. However, the video was heavily criticized for being too vague and not providing adequate hints on how to defeat the monster.
Absolute Virtue had, on several occasions, been fought and held by linkshells for over 30 hours trying to defeat it, to no avail.
In response to a wave of bad press surrounding another HNM Pandemonium Warden, Square Enix reduced the difficulty of Absolute Virtue in late 2008. Its HP total was reduced from an approximate 100,000 to around 66,000, and its stats were significantly lowered. A time limit of 2 hours was also imposed to prevent players from fighting it for too long.
Absolute Virtue is one particular NM that has caused a number of changes in the game to take place. This has come as a result of players adopting unique strategies to try and defeat it. They are as follows.

Wall of Justice: The zone Al'Taieu is separated into 4 sections by translucent walls. A glitch in the walls once allowed players on one side of the wall to target enemies on the other with no risk or danger of retaliation. This method was successful but players who used it faced ban warnings from GMs for terrain exploits.
Dark Knight Zerg: After Absolute Virtue's difficulty was reduced, it became possible for an alliance of Dark Knights using multi-hit weapons (such as the expensive Kraken Club) together with Blood Weapon and Soul Eater to deal immense damage to it in less than a minute. This successful strategy sparked a wave of "revenge kills" as many linkshells banded together to kill it for its loot. This was quickly nerfed when Absolute Virtue was patched to gradually resist Soul Eater damage.
Synchronized Modus Veritas: An oversight in the games limitation allowed an alliance of Scholars to exponentially increase the damage of Helix spells by simultaneously using the ability Modus Veritas. While this proved effective on smaller targets, it was never ever successfully replicated on Absolute Virtue. Modus Veritas was subsequently nerfed shortly after.
Perfect Defense Zerg: Currently the most popular method used to defeat Absolute Virtue. A trio of Summoners use Alexander's Perfect Defense to buff the alliance on top of a typical Soul Voice zerg to prevent them from taking too much damage. This allows them to consistently deal damage to Absolute Virtue without risk of themselves dying too quickly.

With the increase in level cap from 75 to its eventual 99, the battle against Absolute Virtue has seen its difficulty significantly reduced. However, defeating it is considered an achievement by many and its loot is still prized by most players.
