redlight Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 And balance has been brought to the gender force. It's cool that they're making new dagger weapons, but colorizing daggers as well. What is wrong with you IS. Micaiah and Elincia are cute, but I'll wait and see what CYL has to offer. If nothing that'll intrest me I'll try hard for Elincia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Halloween Sakura wants to be used, but I don't want to give her a different dagger and Kitty+ kinda sucks whenever I need her to do anything to a non-mage, so she just sorta sits awkwardly in my barracks waiting to be given a good weapon (dunno which one, either... maybe Barb Shuriken+?) or a refinement for Kitty Paddle+. 6 minutes ago, Hilda said: welp Jakob just became viable as a mixed phase dragon killer How does Elincia's weapon do this (that is what you're referring to, yeah?)?

Medeus Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) I know I should go for Elincia as she's one of my favorite characters in Heroes and PoR/RD, but I want Xander just for that silly dance. Edited August 8, 2018 by Medeus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning he can take a hit with close counter and retaliate. and if the dragon still lives they are dead next round even with vantage because built in HB and my saizo will get a new weapon to deal better with armorers!

NekoKnight Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Having used Polivia, I can tell you being a dagger dancer is pretty bad, although having a color might improve that. Dancer BST is not going to help you when going after high defense armors and dragons, and then you have to contend with Fighter skills, DC and adaptive damage, for Armors and Dragons respectively. Kagero and Sothe might use these weapons better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely forgot about Hardy Bearing being on all of these weapons. I suppose you'd be going with a SPD-refinement on Elincia's dagger to avoid having Jakob get doubled?

It really depend here on the team composition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer Sothe or Kagero for the job. Having a much better shot at a one-hit kill is better than aiming to tank a hit, especially because Sothe actually has the bulk to tank a hit (barely). Sothe has 7 more Atk than Jakob at base, which comes out to at least 10 more damage. That's the equivalent of giving Jakob a Wo Dao dragon-effective dagger that activates its effect even on normal attacks.  9 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Then can I just ask you one thing?

Daggers have the problem of being frail without good means of avoiding damage (by either straight-up killing the opponent with Brave Bow or preventing counterattacks with Firesweep Bow). I think being colored actually helps the new daggers out relative to the colorless daggers by giving them safer targets to attack.

Sentinel07 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Honestly, I'm just happy that this is more or less Performing Arts 2 so we're not getting screwed a new hero banner. I had been afraid that this banner would be something new with Performing Arts 2 coming later, but I'm guessing that's not the case, and I'm glad.

No point bothering with expensive skills and two-round kills when you can just use Death Blow for +9 damage on initiation and kill in a single hit. @ILikeKirbys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard +10 Grima [+Atk] (Expiration, Steady Breath) has 95 physical bulk without buffs. Giving Sothe a Hone Atk 3 buff and +10 merge boosts his effective Atk to 103.

Needless to say a watersweep Jakob built would be oppressiv in a defense team against people who use alot of dragons i guess its a matter if preferences but my windsweep saizo has secured me alot of def wins (due to the coupling with gunnthra) and can deal with almost all physical threats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeManaphy Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Did Xander take dancing lessons from Laslow? Anyway, I kinda want Ryoma because he looks so different from his regular armored self, but I could really use a Green Dancer, so Elincia will be my priority.... That is, if I have any orbs from summoning M!Grima. I've spent 50 orbs already, and I 'm barley above 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeo Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Colored Daggers.... COLORED DAGGERS?!?!?!?!? AND THEY DANCE?! MIND = BLOWN And I don't have a single orb. I was really hoping I wouldn't care about these units. Darn it... seriously. No red dagger though I notice. I wonder who that'll end up being.

Nanima Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Okay, I have goven up on a focus banner dedicated fully to Hoshido, but they really could take care with naming their banners better. I know it's just meant as an indication of the cultural theme, but releasing this a year after their much hyped Nohrian Summer banner, which described the units in it, does feel iinconsiderate. It's the contrast that sets me off. Again, Nohr got full banners for themselves, yet there has never been a single seasonal banner with more than one Hoshidan unit on it. (or normal banner, unless you count skill ones) Even with their new trend of splitting banners between series (which I am perfectly fine with), they still felt the need to put a Nohrian there. Hoshidans can't carry Fates representation on their own it seems. Guess Intsys is doing a free service by keeping Hoshidan fans from vanity. (yes I know: money money money. Let me be bitter for one post) Now that I got this out of my system:Â They really hit me with a bunch of faves here. Ryouma is mostly by association with his siblings, but I do enjoy the lobster guy. His skills aren't that amazing, but I wonder if his stats will make him work as an armour killer? Elincia is beautiful, and does seem more of a support dancer. Also side note: despite the daggers being coloured, they are all inheritable. Does that mean you can inherit the coloured ones to colourless daggers too? I guess we'll see. Micaiah is also beautiful and I want her. (her eyes don't bother me like in her normal version either) She is an infantry red tome however, which I have many off. Just like red dancers. Fff but I want her anyway. :/Â I only care for Xander because of his dagger. And being guilt free close counter fodder. The thing is though. It's only a matter of time before they release a Kinshi!Sakura. The question is when, and I want to be prepared. Also Sakunyan has her last scheduled rerun in November. I really shouldn't pull here, but they just had to hit here with Ryouma and Micaiah. ugh Edited August 8, 2018 by Nanima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be helpful for daggers on the whole. Though it kinda sucks that these are all seasonal. At least they are hopefully keeping brave and firesweep daggers for the normal pool.
