Fallen Takumi

One of my favorite archers to use is Betrayal Takumi. The final boss of fates conquest. This build tends to make him build with more skill discoveries due to new seals.

For his weapon I prefer to keep Skadi since it’s his best bow. I don’t think he can make use of other bows cause there are better characters that run it well. Skadi’s effect is similar to the waves on the endgame of fates conquest. Foes within three columns of centered on Betrayal Takumi will suffer 10 damage and will have a panic status effect. The range of this move is at a vertical line. Imagine there’s a line going up and down in the middle of Betrayal Takumi, and two more on both sides of him. That is the range of the move. The main problem with this move is that it can be difficult to use on stages where you and and the enemy are facing horizontaly. Not only that but it only works on turn 3. After that Skadi becomes a plain bow. Though it can make a difference if used and positioned Betrayal Takumi well. Skadi also grants Betrayal Takumi +3 speed boost.

For his assist skill I prefer draw back to pull an ally with him.

For his special I replaced vengeance with luna. Vengeance is unreliable cause with it you would have to he at very low hp levels to get the most out of vengeance. Luna is better cause it pierces high def enemies much better compared to vengeance.

For his A skill I went for brazen atk/spd. Betrayal Takumi’s bulk is high enough for him to take a hit. Easily knocking him into brazen range.

For his B skill I prefer desperation. With it he’ll do a immediate follow up attack when he’s below 75%hp. It has good synergy with brazen skills.

For the C skill i’m going for his default spd smoke. A combination of brazen atk/spd and this spd debuff will give him more chances of doubling. Especially with spd buffs.

For the seal I am using the brazen atk/res seal. The atk boost will stack up with the A skill. Giving him a boost of 14 extra atk. I think Betrayal Takumi is a good user of the double brazen combo since his atk is meh at best.

Overall Betrayal Takumi is a pretty solid unit with a awesome bow. Although I find it hard using him in arena, where he shines are on ghbs and bhbs cause on them modes enemies don’t move until a unit enters there attack range. That can be used as a advantage for Betrayal Takumi as he can stall so that he reaches turn 3 for Skadi’s effects to activate. My only problem with Betrayal Takumi is his ghb cause it is insanely hard. Especially on infernal. He is merged +2. I wanted to make him +3 ever since his rerun but then I ended up making that one extra copy spd smoke fodder. I find it funny that he’s basically Clarisse but with 4 more res cause he and Clarisse have similar stats but Better Takumi has 4 more res and a personal weapon. Resulting in Betrayal Takumi being essentially Powercrept Clarisse. I will plan on making him my +10 ghb project with the heroic grails.

French only, sorry :P :

Reciprocal Aid permet a F!Takumi de recevoir du soutien une fois blessé par les ennemis.

Close Counter (A) donne à l'archer une meilleure chance de survie sur le champ de bataille en lui permettant de se battre contre des unités de mêlée.

Vantage 3 (B) augmente encore la possibilité pour F!Takumi de résister contre les adversaires lorsqu'il est en mauvaise posture, un skill qui lui a permi de survivre de nombreuses fois a des assauts qui l'aurait autrement tué.

Spd Smoke 3 (C) débuff les adversaires de F!Takumi pour lui permettre de mieux placer des doubles frappes et ainsi augmenter son éfficacité offensive.

Skadi-Iconic Weapon, Interesting Ability.
Reposition-Helps Take Other Characters To Safety
Astra-Boosts Attack, And Attack Boosting Abilities, Especially One As Good As Astra, Is Really Good For Him.
Fury 3- Massive Stat Gains, This Along With Teaming Up With Bowcina And Having S Summoner Support Means He Has Really Good Stats All Around.
Desperation 3- Guarantees That Double Shot, Especially When Used With Fury
Savage Blow 3- Softens Up Enemies, Makes It Easy To Kill A Lot Of Characters At Once.

He's Also +3. I Use Him Alongside NY Azura, Sakura, And Bowcina (S Support). He Can Tank A Few Hits From Most Units, And His Speed Means Almost No One Can Double Him, Unless Using A Brave Weapon. Summoner Support Also Brings His Stats Up, Making Him A Beast When Used Alongside Teammates.

This set is meant to be a F2P player's ranged player phase nuke. (Dancers really help to keep this level of offense up, cos this set's about offense=best defense) This set works well with ranged units in general, but as this is about F2P and Takumi outclasses Clarrise pretty hard, this is his build:

Skadi with its innate +3 speed is quite useful and on that 3rd turn all hell breaks loose, which is actually quite useful if utilized correctly. Death Blow 3/4 can either one be used depending on the rng with your pulls and/or a player's CYL 2 choice and DB3 is a rather common skill. Both DB's really add a lot of damage on player phase and DB4 in tandem with Attack +3 seal can net some serious 1-2HKOS, effectively adding 11 to 22 more damage stacked with his already quite respectable 45 attack. Desperation 3, when Takumi's health gets low enough will give Skadi a Brave Bow esque ability, thus creating more pressure on offense. Threaten Defense can be used if you successfully baited your enemies near him helping Fallen Takumi do 16-32 MORE damage, of course playing rather nicely with Skadi at 45 attack. Add in Moon Bow which not only seems cannon for Fallen Takumi given his Skadi's appearance, but it procs a lot and really just cements him as a player phase monstrosity. This player phase nuke set is a poor mans bow and arrow Reinhardt-ish set up.

An offensive build that is similar to the normal version of Takumi, but with a faster-charging Special and the ability to debuff. Close Counter and Vantage synergize exceptionally well, and especially if Moonbow is charged.
