Difference between revisions of "Adolin Kholin"

Adolin has employed various Shardblade Stances in his duels, though he relies most heavily on [[Windstance]], and diverse tactics. Against [[Salinor Eved]] he switches to using [[Ironstance]] as well as employing elements of hand to hand combat for a rather brutal display, much to the ire of Highjudge [[Istow]]. {{ref|b|sa2|c|14}} While fighting against [[Eranniv]] [[Sadeas]] notes that Adolin is fighting far below his own capacity {{ref|b|sa2|c|29}}, making it seem like a close fight. Against [[Elit Ruthar]] Adolin employs Windstance again, focusing on precision while implementing a tactic of exhausting Elit’s plate of stormlight until it can no longer move. {{ref|b|sa2|c|53}}

 

 

Adolin is good enough a duellist that Dalinar uses him as a key part in his plan to discipline the Highprinces by taking away their Shards in duels. {{ref|b|sa2|c|5}} It can be argued that Adolin is actually the most skilled duellist on the Shattered Plains given that he is both capable of winning a fight while hiding his true level of skill and being an even match against two men. Sadeas remarks that Adolin is growing into the Blackthorn, a man who conquered Alethkar with his skill and power, and that thought terrifies him. {{ref|b|sa2|c|58}}
