r_n Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Going back to my earlier "who to promote question" ya'll said Nowi, so during downtime between gauntlets i was trying to get her closer to 40 until I noticed that she has 14 speed at level 31. Since it's physically impossible to reach the neutral that means she has a -speed nature. I can't determine the boon just yet, but resistence looks neutral so its probably attack. Considering the decision on Nino was pass due to similar circumstances and Nowi's supposed to be a cannon, is Nowi still worth doing or should I settle for Kagero or Corrin F again e: Actually let's also add this question: aside from units like armors, is there EVER a time where -speed is wanted.

Reinhardt. Also, Draug likes +Spd nature very much. 36 spd lets him double a lot of things while preventing doubles form a lot of things.. Speed is a 'breakpoint' stat, the few points of speed that make you go from doubled to not-doubled, or not-doubling to doubling are very valuable. Every other point is worthless. Speed points around 30 are the most valuable, tbh, since the vast majority of units cluster around that number, so a spd boon would help lots, while a speed bane hurts. That said, I'd still use a -spd Nowi just for BST reasons---can't get good arena score if you can't get high BST enemies. That might change once the April update rolls out, though.

r_n Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Oh right after SI Draug probably winds up pretty solid if i can get him a good weapon. I'll keep the speed banes for the other archers in mind if I get them. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowi doesn't need Spd if you give her Swordbreaker or Quick Riposte. -Spd does have its uses, though. If you know you will be consistently double attacked and you have Quick Riposte, you can opt for a special skill with a 1-hit longer cooldown and have it activate on the last hit (or 1 hit longer and have it land at the start of the next round of combat). Reinhardt's Dire Thunder and abysmally low Spd mean he should be gunning for 2-hit kills where his Spd doesn't matter. Sophia's absolutely horrendous Spd means she's never going to double anything anyways and avoids so few double attacks that she doesn't care, either.

r_n Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) I'll dig around for swordbreaker before committing, I think she'd still do well in the intermediates then. Nice, my 4 star Abel gets the full suite, I'll pass him along. I'll still wait for my next pull just to see what comes out, but nowi looks redeemable. Even if she is The Worst Edited April 6, 2017 by r_n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon and Klein function well on -spd Klein actually wants neutral speed a lot (+Atk is still favored over +Spd, though). He pulls off the Quadsuna set better than Setsuna, but not with -spd, and even with his default kit, having neutral speed prevents a lot of doubles while opening up a pair of quad-hit kills he couldn't get otherwise. Edit: Gordin's base speed is low enough that he doesn't really lose anything from -spd, though. (In all seriousness, Gordin's mostly useful for handing off his Brave Bow+ to either Takumi or Jeorge if you wanted to turn them into Klein---giving Brave Bow+ to Setsuna is just a sad joke).

I mean, it's not like everyone and their mother is trying to get Quadsuna anyway, not to mention I said functions well not "are still pretty amazing with -spd".

Fruity Insanity Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Quote I know he isn't the best unit, but I loved him in SD/New Mystery, and I love his art in this game, so I had to. If I ever get a Karel at some point, he's instantly food for Navarre, but I think this skillset will do for now. :> Edited April 6, 2017 by Fruity Insanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both die on the second counterattack. Yes. Ah, I see. Seriously speaking though, congratulations on your 40+10 Ninian, even if it was only a matter of time. I'm genuinely happy that so many huge fans of her exist in this forum, and it's really nice to see someone I know finally attain a 40+10 version of her. That 40+10 Ninian truly is beautiful, and I can imagine how pleased you must be with her. As a fellow fan of her, I really am pleased to see such obsession over her after all those years ago where no one really talked about her and speaking her name would incite a horde of Lyndis fans to lynch you. And of course, as a fellow fan, I am also admittedly incredibly jelly over your new super unit that I can probably never attain. My Ninian is still totally better though; she's much cuter and is perfect in many other ways! Still, I know you must have sacrificed (your wallet's contents) immensely to obtain her, and I do legitimately greatly admire you for your dedication to her cause. The earlier post was obviously a half-jest, but I did kind of mean it when I kind of look up to you in a master/mentor type of manner. You seem incredibly knowledgeable, you have pretty much the exact same tastes as me, and we both have ridiculously similar usernames if one thinks about it. You're pretty much my ideal on this forum, and I do hope that means something to you. My Ninian is still the best to me though.
