I'm starting with Whirlpool inverted. This will mean I'll be able to hit the bottom of NKC's wedge with the low-angled part of my spinner, the middle of it with the side, and the top of the wedge with the sticking-into-the-air back part of the spinner. I can potentially reach over the top and hit that saw if NKC pushes far enough in. It'll also make Whirlpool harder to smother.
My end game is to get around NKC's wedge and deal a death blow, but that will take some luck. Until I get that lucky opportunity, I'll just need to fend off NKC's attacks and damage its plow. It's got a slightly better wedge, but my wedgelets won't be far behind in getting underneath. And when they do and NKC slides up them, the front edge of its wedge will smack right into my spinning weapon for some solid edge damage which will distort it and make it so it's not ground scraping any more. It'll be easier and easier as time goes on for me to get underneath NKC this way.
Of course, it is a little faster, and I need to keep it from getting at my non-spinner side. I'll have to drive somewhat defensively to do that, but due to Whirlpool's wheel layout I'll turn faster than the average offset HS, so it'll be harder than Badnik might think. But if I can't lead with my wedge and NKC gets under Whirlpool somewhere, I'll swing the weapon around into NKC and get some damage in as I knock us apart again.
I'll either wear NKC down and win on damage or eventually get a good hit in on its non-plow area to do some serious damage and at least slow NKC down.
GL again, Dylan!
