5:18, the adaptive flat DR should be based on UNIT's higher def/res rather than foe's?

Great in-depth video. Personally I gave Laguz Friend 4 and Ike's Emblem ring to Summer Fjorm. She doesn't have a huge def/res stat so she isn't getting too much flat damage reduction/bonus damage from Laguz Friend but against ranged enemies she now has 30% DR from Frostbite Mirror, 40% DR from the Emblem Ring, 5 flat DR from her weapon, and some flat DR from Laguz Friend, but more importantly when she's reflecting all this damage reduction back with Frostbite Mirror she is now piercing DR. The special jump part of Laguz Friend is a bit wasted since her special is usually always charged, but does ready Frostbite Mirror again if she ever gets scowled or pulse smoked.

The details and effort in this video are immaculate! Gonna be having this video on repeat since I'm thinking of building up Ike as well. Also, Ashnard, of all characters, being a support for Ike is kind of funny. But with the new Crux skill, I can see that duo being even stronger .

I just have one copy of Ike and he made even the Abyssal limited hero battle a piece of cake...I'm worried about what IS will release to "sell the solution."

Something to keep in mind for builds as well is times pulse 4. Simply because that means a full 40% DR on the first hit as times pulse 4 keeps you at 2 cooldown then Laguz Friend does the rest. 30% to 40% doesn't seem to be the biggest difference but it can make or a break a few marchups that may or may not be important depending on the context of the match. Trading your entite C-skill for only 10% DR sounds drastic but it definitely comes in clutch here and there

Great video. SSS+ for effort, no doubt. I like when you go further than just analyzing the unit/banner at hand, but also sprinkle in concepts that the more casual folk would benefit from. That said, you started the video saying "tanks are back on the menu" and I don't think they ever weren't. I've been using W! Byleth to tank N! Sanaki in AR for months. I tried L!M! Alear and so can he, and I have to assume so can N! Altina. I mention this because I'm scared of where the arms race might go from here. We didn't NEED something stronger, but we got it anyway, so... now what? Where do nukes go from here?
@Oblivionknight
6 ай бұрын
The thing is all of those units are extremely new. This allows older tanks to be more competitive again, which is amazing. The good thing is this only slightly improves Altina, Caeda, Alear, so it shouldn't be ridiculous yet. But I wouldn't be surprised if Is pushed it further
@toney001
6 ай бұрын
@@Oblivionknight If you mean the Engage effect, I agree, that part is great. That said, it is debatable how much this can help older units when IS is pushing powercreep through PRFs (skills AND weapons), not inheritable skills. Switching my old Lumera from VA to GLR thanks to Marth was great, but that only got her through NY. She can't deal with 2024 nukes, which is why I started using Byleth in AR. My problem with Ike is that I don't think we needed him, as a unit, to push the bar even higher right now, when the tanks we got in the last ~3 months were good enough and the meta was finally in some semblance of balance. What this is gonna cause is an escalation of nukes that will now need to be able to kill Ike, and by extension every unit not printed in 2024, for people to pull for them. The X slot arms race is already out of control and I fear this will be no different.
