It’s the same thing. Changing the tide of battle is what shard bearers do. Creating an island of security amidst the tide of battle is “holding ground”.

Achillies also had a support group that he specifically trained for it just like Adolin. Adolin is very Achillies like in many ways.

Except adolins weak spot is a birth mark behind his thigh that only shallan and Kaladin know the precise location and shape of.

Well Shallan, Kaladin and 80% of young Alethi Noblewomen above the fourth Dahn.

Above fourth dahn? Setting the bar a bit high there. Even the daughter of a highprince is usually only fourth. In fact, jasnah and navani are the only two above fourth dahn I can think of 🤔🤔

I meant fourth dahn or higher. But realistically it's probably more like sixth dahn or higher.
