Hope is a cruel joke, played upon us by a harsh and uncaring world. There is no Hope, there is only Vanessa.: 0

This is my shield. I bear it before me into battle, but it is not mine alone. It protects my brother on my left. It protects my city. I will never let my brother out of its shadow, nor my city out of its shelter. I will die with my shield before me, facing the enemy.: 0

Inconclusive: 0

The main thing that Masked is unsure of is if Olpe of Wellness can cure the poisons inflicted by Vanessa.

Other than that, it's mostly just the two brothers and their Enhanced Senses versus the Power of Busted Stealth™.
Masked is leaning towards Vanessa at the moment due to the stealth and the potency of her poisons.
Didn't realize the fights between thirteen year old kids and fourteen year old kids was this rough.

The Olpe of Wellness can heal poisons inflicted by the personifications of illness and disease but I am unsure how that cross-compares against Vanessa. But assuming it doesn't compare to her poisons;

Since both have basic prior knowledge, Kratos and Deimos will probably use Veil of Thunder to surround themselves in a sphere of offensive lightning then take a swig from the Olpe to turn invisible. If they only know the basics then they probably don't know Vanessa can see through it though.

The Veil is their best bet since it can at least burn away anything trying to get to them. And Vanessa's range is well within the range of their Gifts so either one can just use Hearth Rain while the other defends until the flames graze and incinerate her.

They likely won't see her for most of the fight if at all, so taking advantage of their slightly greater range and basically carpet bombing the forest is in their best interests. Since she has faster reactions inherently, slow probably isn't allowed to turn the tide of the fight.

They each have one get out of jail free card with their resurrection ability, so that gives them better odds, and to my understanding this is too specific for her to know about.

For now, I give it to the brothers extreme diff if her poisons bypass the Olpe's healing.

I should note Vanessa's favorite trick in this key is just straight up hitting her opponents with a ranged poison that puts them into an illusion, which can actually kill them. So for all they know like halfway through the fight they're not actually fighting Vanessa anymore but instead are basically fighting her body double, cause Vanessa only fights fair when she's literally forced to do so, otherwise smarter not harder is her MO

Noted. What form does this poison take? If it's a gas then the bust using Anemos would mitigate it.

We have no idea!

When an adventuring party was sent after her she poisons them while she's off-screen and uses said illusion to make them fight a gauntlet then fakes her death with it

I mean fairs but that's a pretty important detail for how it will happen here.

Yeah it is an important detail and we're just never told how she does it.
