Without any confirmation we could never be sure of Ei's Gnosis. Was it the King? Was it a Bishop? Or was it a Knight like I theorized?
Thanks to Pierro it's most likely the Knight. While talking about Ei killing Signora he moves the White Knight to a Black Pawn and tips it over. Poor Signora. All that pizazz and she's just a pawn. 
Funny though in my chess theory I too set the white side to the Archons and Celestia ruling over them. But the black side isn't just the Fatui. Sorry Pierro. You're getting sidelined by your own people again.
That said the fact that he uses telekinesis with a glowing aura to move the knight makes me think he's using some of that Dainsleif Khemia fueled power too. This could mean he won't even have a Delusion. Or.... I said we'll likely face off against Pierro in Snezhnaya. But by the time we get there it'll be so close to the next phase of the game so maybe just maybe Pierro will fight us by overloading himself with multiple Delusions one for each element.
You guys know my theory about Phase 2. It wouldn't be a surprise if we get a taste of that early on to tease what'll come next. What if the fight against Pierro will start with him using Khemia but as the fight tips in our favor we enter the second part where he activates Delusions one by one up until he gets all 7 elements and explodes in a burst of light. I'd say that would end the story battle but his weekly encounter will force us to just fight him.
Which chess theory were you subscribed to before? Are you satisfied with this outcome?
