I recently saved enough feathers (and spare copies) to +10 one of my dragon units, which are Adult Tiki, Nowi, Corrin and Fae. The problem is that I actually don't know which one to max out, because I find them to be equally powerful with the only real difference being their color. The fact that I can't really think of the potentially most powerful one is why I decided to ask for some other opinions.
Would you personally have a clear winner out of those four heroes I mentioned? Which means that not only in specialized teams but as a standalone unit mostly.
I have access to steady breath, wrath and the other popular dragon main skills, and IVs are not really an issue with the abbundance of spare copies I have, so you can consider it with that in mind.
Thanks in advance for any input!
I'd go for Nowi or Fae, since they have higher stat totals and will score slightly better in Arena. Also, having balanced stats is actually not too bad when you get to +10. Personally I'd use Nowi, since Fae is great as Renewal fodder for Tempest Trials Units and she has been outclassed by three other green dragons recently.
Depends on your team though, if you already have a +10 blue unit, you might want to use another one.
A good point actually, thanks. It would be my first +10 and I would like it to be generally usable in many different teams based on the situation, which is why I want it to be a dragon since they have decent movement, higher bst and access to distant counter, which makes them a perfect backbone for many different teams.
Even with that in mind it's still not easy for me to decide, but you might be right, that Nowi is probably the best +10 candidate.
I'd personally go for Nowi due to her stats and colour. Nowi (currently) being the best blue dragon in the game is very helpful. Using her can also help take down most Meta units. Almost all units tremble in fear when put against a +10 Fury/Steady Breath Nowi, as she will obliterate anything that attacks her
In my opinion the best dragon(after Myrrh) is Nowi.
Mine is currently only at +2 since I can't pull her apparently.
IV: +Spd, -HP, Summoner Support
Weapon: Lightning Breath(+Spd)
Assist: Rally Def/Res
Special: Aether
A: Steady Breath
B: Guard 3
C: Panic Ploy
S: Quick Reposte 3
She only dies to Alm, or Nagas. Due to Panic Ploy she is save against any Bladetome, Horse Emblem(Even tho with a +10 team you won't see them anymore).
Armors can only hurt her with Specials, however they get denied with Guard(which is a really broken skill btw, don't see it very often tho).
Rally Def/Res is just for Arena Points, since my Nowi is doing most of the action she doesn't really need a reposition.
I run her with Myrrh in my Arena core, with the +6 Spd buff she is basically undoubleable.
She comes as a 3star now, which helps a lot. Got my last few copies like that.
Also, a cool build you got there. I would be going for pretty much the same thing, although my one difference would be her B slot, since I kind of like wrath to further boost that aether heal. Guard is still perfectly valid tho and most definitely better in arena.
I originally had promoted a Subaki for QR3, cause I needed the seal for a different character. However Nowi went from awesome to bonkers after inhereting Guard, it gives her so much survivability.
Wrath is in my opinion better for low CD Specials. Nowi doesn't benefit from the -1 CD anyways since Aether costs 6 and due to Steady Breath her CD goes down by 2 every attack. Just my 2 cents tho, +10 damage and +5 healing is still nice.
The thing is Fae gets out classed by Myrrh and (M) Grima so its better in the long run to wait for them than to pointlessly invest into Fae (no matter how much I like Fae more). (A) Tiki is really strong and there isn't really any other red dragon who can hold up to her ease of merge and potential, Young Tiki comes close but in my opinion is a little weaker. Nowi is also very powerful and similarly there aren't any blue dragons who can reach her stat-line. So basically here is how stats play out: Nowi has more health, Tiki has more atk, Nowi has more spd, Tiki has more Def, Nowi has more res. Nowi is more of an all rounder unit with solid stats in each however I recommend not dropping her res stat as is can be very important. Very similarly to Tiki except I would say drop the Spd stat entirely because that is the biggest difference between the two, Tiki has low spd but much higher defense and atk potential. If you put a little investment into her res even with neutral resistance stat she can manage to be a devastating mixed tank with high damage output. Nowi on the other hand has better spd that can be turned to a generally solid amount with a decent investment and also becomes a generally mid to high damage unit based on the opponents color as well as having solid mixed bulk. For Tiki you either want +def or +res and always -spd. For Nowi you likely want +def or +res and -hp. Really which ever one you want more, Tiki has less spd but higher atk and defense and Nowi has less atk and defense but better spd and res (res isn't by much though). I did mention Nowi has better hp but since it is usually taken as a bane she doesn't really have better hp in most situations.
A nice analysis, thanks a lot for that! Yeah, it's kind of a shame that Fae seems to have been outclassed. The only thing she has going for her now is the fact, that she's (relatively) easy to obtain. Anyway, after reading all the opinions, I think I'll go for Nowi. Her art is kind of creepy, but she seems to be the strongest as a standalone unit. Also, the fact that red dragon slot is occupied only by Tiki so far makes me hope for a new dragon to come out soon to at least serve as some sort of competition.
yea especially since they are about to add a blue dragon after just adding a green one its very likely the next will be red. Plus there hasn't been a red dragon release since launch. Nowi is a solid all rounder and her spd (while sometimes detrimental since it makes aether charge slower) is overall good for stopping follow ups. Just remember not to make the mistake of dropping any of her stats outside of health since she will be +10 she has a ton of mixed tank potential.
The Myrrh and Grima part of the analysis is really only valid if you're a whale though. Fae is not meaningfully worse and is plentiful.
For me this comes down to Nowi and Fae and I lean Fae simply because she has no readily available competition among units of her color whereas Nowi is replaceable with Effie and, to a lesser extent, Lukas and Cordelia. The only other green merge candidates are Nino, who is great but has low BST and requires babysitting / is susceptible to ploys and Cherche /Frederick /Raven, all of whom are physical sweepers who are weak to magic, a bad pairing with a meta that features a ton of blue magic damage and tons of powerful physical reds.
