(tl:dr if you are having trouble in PvP due to a certain build the enemy has, then come here and explain the issue, and at least I will analyze the situation and try to create the set and how to check it.) Hello everyone, I made this thread to discuss some of the common(and maybe even uncommon) builds present in PvP and what people can do to check them. You don't have to follow my format, but I like organizing information. If someone brings to my attention a new build or check to a build, I'll add that information to the original post so others can see. Copycat will not be listed in the skills section, as literally any set at least WANTS Copycat. Terminology: Atk = Total Attack Power Cap = Capacity Dmg = Damage FW = Falcon Warrior GK = Golden Kite Ranged = Tome/Kunai/Bow Melee = Sword/Lance/Axe Physical = Kunai/Bow/Sword/Lance/Axe WRB = Weapon Rank Bonus WTA = Weapon Triangle Advantage BOLDED ____ = Strong ____ Ex: A bolded "skills wanted" means it is a strong skill for the build. Underlined ___ = Important ___ Builds: Strength & Skill Based ORKO Character: Any, but prefers FW/GK Matoi, Rinkah, Takumi, Pieri, and any high Str Caps Class: Any, but prefers fliers or high movement classes Weapon: Physical Brave Weapons, Ranged Weapons that allow you to double Skills needed: Flamboyant, Luna, Breaking Sky OR Nohr, Flamboyant with proper teammate Skills wanted: Aggressor, Swallow Strike, Galeforce, Extravagance, Hoshido, Lethality(only Nohr set) Checks: Miracle, Kaze's Miracle, Aegis(for ranged), Pavise(for melee), Defensive Formation(for non-brave weapons), Counter(for melee Brave weapons), Trueblade Dodge Tank, Draconic Shield Magic & Skill Based ORKO Character: Any, but prefers FW/GK Matoi, Rinkah, and any high Mag Caps Class: Any, but prefers fliers or high movement classes Weapon: Snake God, Lightning, strong tome or spell Skills needed: Flamboyant, Luna, Ignis OR Nohr, Flamboyant with proper teammate Skills wanted: Aggressor, Swallow Strike, Galeforce, Extravagance, Hoshido, Lethality(only Nohr set) Checks: Miracle, Kaze's Miracle, Aegis, Defensive Formation(for non-brave weapons), Magic Counter, Trueblade Dodge Tank, Draconic Shield Strength & Damage Based ORKO Character: Any, but prefers FW/GK Matoi, Rinkah, Takumi, Pieri, and any high Str Caps Class: Any, but prefers fliers or high movement classes Weapon: Physical Brave Weapons, Ranged Weapons that allow you to double Skills needed: Extravagance, Line of Death, Aggressor Skills wanted: Swallow Strike, Galeforce, Prescient Victory, Weaponfaire, Raven Strike Checks: Miracle, Kaze's Miracle, Aegis(for ranged), Pavise(for melee), Defensive Formation(for non-brave weapons), Counter(for melee Brave weapons), Trueblade Dodge Tank, Draconic Shield Magic & Damage Based ORKO Character: Any, but prefers FW/GK Matoi, Rinkah, and any high Mag Caps Class: Any, but prefers fliers or high movement classes Weapon: Snake God, Lightning, strong tome or spell, or Magic Physical Weapons(ex: Levin Sword) Skills needed: Extravagance, Line of Death, Aggressor Skills wanted: Swallow Strike, Galeforce, Prescient Victory, Weaponfaire, Raven Strike Checks: Miracle, Kaze's Miracle, Aegis(for ranged), Pavise(for magic melee), Defensive Formation(for non-brave weapons), Magic Counter, Trueblade Dodge Tank, Draconic Shield Critical Based ORKO Character: Any, but prefers Takumi, Ryoma, Arthur, Odin, Ophelia, Charlotte, Crimson Class: Any, but prefers Berserker, Trueblade, Sorcerer, Holy Lancer, Holy Bowman, Elite Ninja, Witch, Lodestar Weapon: Killer Weapons, Aurgelmir, Great Club, Berka's Killer Axe, Excalibur, Odin's Black Tome Skills needed: Ogre Strike, Galeforce Skills wanted: Swallow Strike, Raven Strike, Roundhouse, Awakening, Aggressor, Line of Death, Extravagance, Flamboyant, Luna, Ignis, Breaking Sky, Nohr, Defensive Formation, Vantage Checks: Miracle, Kaze's Miracle, Pavise(for melee), Aegis(for ranged), Lutz' Lucky Soul, Holy Lancers+Suisha, Beast Classes, Marth's Replica, Marth Lodestar+Divine Falchion, Trueblade Dodge Tank, Draconic Shield Lethality Build Character: Any, but prefers Takumi, Pieri Class: Any, but prefers fliers or high movement classes Weapon: Brave Weapons, Lightning, Ranged Weapons that allow you to double Skills needed: Lethality, Flamboyant, Hoshido OR Nohr, Flamboyant, Hoshido with proper teammate Skills wanted: Miracle, Pavise, Aegis, Swallow Strike, Raven Strike, Diamond Strike, Galeforce Checks: Miracle, Kaze's Miracle, Defensive Formation, Trueblade Dodge Tank Physical Tank Build Character: Any high Def Cap but prefers Hinata, Silas, Avatar, Ignis, Benoit, Kanna Class: Great Knight, General, Shura, Wyvern Lord Weapon: Guard Naginata, Javelin, Siegfried, Ike's Replica Sword, Handaxe, Arthur's Manly Axe, Quick Draw Katana, Kodachi, Throwing Club, Diamond Club, Reverse Spell, Horse God, Dragonstones(any of them) Skills needed: Defensive Formation(except for Shura and maybe Wyvern Lord), Counter, Aegis Skills wanted: Miracle, Kaze's Miracle(on an ally), Pavise, Dragonic Shield(on an ally), Magic Counter, Strength/Magic Seal, Confined Defense, Vengeance, Sol, Aether Checks: uh.... taking 2 rounds to kill it instead of one?, use Magic ORKO sets?
