God, no. No- we're all sabre fencers. What weapon you use changes the rules you fight by. Team fencing is like... we all have different things we're good at. There's a limited number of times you can switch teammates, and everyone usually has to pull their weight in order to get a win. Whoever's out on the field can't talk to the rest of the team, either, it's like... you prepare together, and then each one of you goes out solo.

I'm fast and have good technique. Farah was good at strategy. Sabine's got amazing defense. And Luna's tricky. You can't switch out for every problem you encounter; just because someone else has a good guard doesn't mean they can switch me for Luna the second I struggle with it. Half the strategy is learning the other team beforehand, working out who they're going to send out when, and trying to counter it. As for my weapon; I only fence sabre. Epee and foils are bullshit. You can't parry them. Sabre is fast, aggressive, and rewards you for being the one attacking. Closer to an actual fight.
