No because 100+ grails + 20k feathers is too steep a price to pay for something that is only at best marginally better than fury 3 and life and death 3. There's also the fact that death blow 3's value compared to swift sparrow 2 has increased thanks to the darting blow sacred seal making the extra speed from swift sparrow kind of redundant compared to the 2 extra attack.

Every other unit we get a month has Swift Sparrow, they might as well demote some of the older ones with it by now~ At least they could give more new units L&D or something.

It's nice, but not worth sacrificing a 5* for. 17 units possess the Swift Sparrow skill. I honestly have the believe that's the highest number of units to possess a single skill string. Of them, 9 are in the normal summoning pool (counting Sue, who will be added once the banner ends) 2 are only available from Legendary/Mythic unit banners (Eir and Glorious Lucina) Naesala is the only one available as a Heroic Grail unit. The rest are seasonals. In comparison to other A passives that grant a high amount of Atk and Spd... Life and Death, the only one that has been in the game since the start, only has 5 holders, one of which (Zephiel) is a Heroic Grail unit, and another of which (Sothe) was added later, albeit as a 4* holder of LnD3. None of them are seasonal Kestrel Stance remains exclusive to Supreme Samurai Ryoma Brazen Atk/Spd remains exclusive to Winter Robin (a seasonal) and Linus (a Heroic Grail unit) Atk/Spd Bond is available on 8 units, though 4 of them are seasonal and 1 of them is a Legendary unit (Marth) Atk/Spd Push remain exclusive to 2 seasonals (Elincia and Tana) Atk/Spd Solo remains exclusive to Legendary Eirika What is it about this skill that the devs love so much...?

They seem to think it's a good skill on ranged units. Bond is better on ranged units, but they don't even know how owltomes are used.

That’s probably the most among the passives, but if Specials count here then Draconic Aura probably has the most at 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I would choose Swift Sparrow over the other two, even if it was available at 4". L&D is better for units you don't plan to be taking hits on EP and Fury is better for units that do. 8 minutes ago, Tybrosion said: That’s probably the most among the passives, but if Specials count here then Draconic Aura probably has the most at 20. That could be a bit more forgivable, since I don't think we've really had that many inheritable specials added since launch. I can think of Owain's Blue Flame, and that's about it, compared to A skills, which seems to add at least one a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, though it should go noted that there were only six characters (two of which were present at launch) who had Draconic Aura by the time of the first anniversary. And for a useless fun fact: half of the six Camillas have Draconic Aura (original, New Year’s, Summer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Shogi Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I'm starting to like Forging Bonds more as it gives me another way to build up HM on characters that I normally wouldn't use for TT. Of course, the rewards are always nice too. But, I will maintain that TT is still my favorite mode in the game because it allows me to grind HM on characters that won't see normal usage. Part of the charm of these 2 modes is that the maps alternate enough that they rotate the maps and the characters on said maps so there's always something fresh.

Xenomata Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Oh, a few more Swift Sparrow facts, 14 of it's natural wielders are female. Ayra, Eir, Anamnesis Eirika, Nyofai Gunnthra, Ishtar, Lewyn, Glorious Lucina, Brave Lyn, Pale Flower Nino, and Sue could all arguably be considered "Premium" units of their banners. Only 5 of the wielders possess Death Blow 1 as the base of Swift Sparrow. The rest are Darting Blow 1. 1 hour ago, redlight said: They seem to think it's a good skill on ranged units. Seeing as 14 of its wielders are indeed ranged... yeah I could see someone reading a little too into that. 55 minutes ago, Tybrosion said: That’s probably the most among the passives, but if Specials count here then Draconic Aura probably has the most at 20. After checking all the passives I could think of having more than a few wielders, yeah Swift Sparrow has the most wielders of the full skill chain (there's a LOT of holders of, for instance, Spur Atk 1, but not of Spur Atk 3) I kinda find that Draconic Aura has the most holders kinda funny, considering I don't think anyone actually uses it over Luna/Bonfire/Iceberg if given the option.

Yeah, they've dropped that for the most part. Some of them make perfect sense (F!Kana, Julius, Adrift F!Corrin, Duma), others not so much (Keaton, Karla, Maid Kagero, Tibarn, etc.).

LordFrigid Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Speaking of Tap Battle...I never realized just how much they toned down the difficulty. I saw a couple things in 35-40 that I don’t even think are in the 80-100s of the more recent battles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are literally all the orbs gone? I see there's none available for the quest, but are they gone from the regular floor rewards on tap battle? Because I won't even bother doing it if that's the case (unless there's coins available). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
