To be fair,
in a world-class competition watched by millions, a catchy name certainly gave contestants an edge. It helped them attract an audience and build buzz more quickly.
For most contestants, the fear wasn't losing, but rather fading into obscurity.
The leaderboard only showed the top one hundred contestants and their works. In first place was "Magnetic Field Lunatic," whose creation was an ornate and exquisite pair of steampunk-style gloves capable of controlling lightning and electrostatic fields.
In second place was "My Big Hammer is Thirsty." His creation was a heavy, mechanical-style greatsword with a visually exaggerated flame thruster on its spine. According to the description, this Jet Sword had the Thunder Attribute. After being infused with Essence, it would charge up Thunder Power in three tiers. The more tiers it charged, the more devastating the damage it would unleash.
