Okay, I’m going to be honest. This fight freaked me out. Coenen has the upgrades in a lot of the right parts to beat Carano, and I didn’t want Carano on the losing end of an “upset”. She started the fight by doing not-that-much, but came storming back into it, getting the win. I know it doesn’t look like Coenen did much/anything, but decent damage was caused there. ?
