Yeah, I most often use Frederick with horses, and with neutral Spd, and being +10, he can reach 37 Spd with a buff which isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... is his support partner on the team? She's not particularly fast and 50 or 53 Atk (neutral or +Atk) is what you see with her at +10 with Lightning Breath. Fred's got such high HP that he should be ok to take even two hits if he's defending. In my experience, Nowis always have their bonus and/or refine in Spd, Def, or Res, so he should be safe to counter unless she's got the rare Windsweep build. 37 Spd is quite good for Frederick, but I question if he needs it when Nowi HAS to have a Spd setup (boon, refine, blessing) to hit 37 herself that without buffs unless she's got seals/A skills that also boost Spd. If it's any help, here are the +10 Nowis from users on this site (and we can disregard Summoner Support): Quote Nowi1. Nowi's Husband2. Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi3. Kaoxt4. Ice Dragon5. Hawk King6. LuxSpes7. Maaka8. Sophie They're almost exclusively built for defending/countering, which I think most of us here would agree is standard for her. Run any of these through a calculator against your Frederick and it should be clear that he's quite capable of taking them all on with his current stats, even without buffs. In some of the match-ups, not only does he kill them, but he ends up with Ignis fully charged, which definitely makes up for the lack of HP to keep using QR.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Had a wild day at the beach. But on the drive there we were low on fuel. We were just pulling up our phones for a map of gas stations before Frederick, the Horizon Watcher pointed and said "Ah, Shell". It was a good day. Man, double SP weekend can't come soon enough. Got so many feathers to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been following talk about other matchups. I'm just here to talk about Nowi. If your Frederick is fast enough to avoid getting doubled by opposing Nowis, your main arena team should be able to handle them just fine. He should be able to take a hit enemy phase and hit back, then finish her off player phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how high his Def is, it doesn't seem to be a problem. In fact, doubling your Frederick is a death sentence for most units since they get an Ignis to the face, including some of the most dreaded sword users. He's a melee countering monster, and I think the only things he should worry about are mages, Bold Fighter Zelgius, some dragons, and the ever elusive Zanbato.

Not if they're a mage or can actually hit him good with certain specials. Frederick can't take more than one hit from magic most of the time. And if I'm forced to put him in range of a blue or green mage (obviously I keep him away from red ones all together), well, more Spd can make him more likely to take just one hit instead of getting doubled and killed. Occasionally I have to use Frederick on player phase too. And he's more likely to double something himself with 37 Spd or even more with Reinhardt's Goad Cav buffing him than he is with -Spd.

I dunno, most of the mages you have to worry about are way too fast for even 37 Spd to save you, since the vast majority of Arena mages are built with Spd in mind. If landing in those bad positions is a real problem, your only hope at that point is gonna be Deflect Magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent a friend invite btw. セツナ, L&D Summer Cordy as lead at the moment. DEM MERGES THO! Did i need to show that screenshot or something? Because my attempt at Brave Roy is disastrous in a really hilarious way But yeah i don't think my defense team is any good. It runs Armor and 2 Melee, and Armor is, and have always been a deadweight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunwoo Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I somehow got a defense win already for this week. But in all fairness, my team is composed of Brave Ike along with Dire Thunder Olwen and sword Reinhardt with wings of mercy. It's supposed to be obnoxious.

Maybe their team didn't have any greens. I think the display character isn't always the actual team lead that they used. I've seen the display unit change on some of my D wins.

Just for the record, that Airzura is both unarmed and has an incomplete kit (Buckler as the Special, no A passive, WoM 2 instead of 3). Though kinda like you said, that Azura likely wasn’t involved in that Arena battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
