Arden

I wanna build up my boy and i'm curious what you'd change or how to make him better? The C skill is just for fun, I might do armor march or wards

I gave him def refined armorsmasher, fortress def and bonfire. Works pretty well whenever I need him.

I'm not sure about the QR seal tho. It overlaps with follow up ring. Another point would be the slaying edge combined with aether. I think the -1 cd is not really needed, because he will most likely always be fighting in the enemy phase where breath activates and by always getting doubled by the enemy, he can activate even the 5 turn Aether easily.

Yeah, I also had to re-check the skill description before posting the reply, because I got confused.

It's a pretty good skill. Arden is basically the fastest and slowest unit at the same time, since he can always double (and get doubled) even with the lowest speed stat in the whole universe.

A good idea. 30+ dmg bonfires should be able to kill the majority of units in the game.
Another thing to consider would be slaying edge + steady breath + bonfire. Two turn bonfire would get primed thanks to steady breath and blasted on your first attack and then you would be able to blast it again thanks to the enemy's and your own follow-up afterwards.

Probably an overkill but he would kill almost anything with that, I believe.

Salying edge with bonfire will only be better on enemy phase when combined with steady breath, because you would be able to trigger two bonfires in a single combat encounter. In player phase you would trigger it once.

Wo dao would trigger once in both player and enemy phase (on your first encounter ofc), but the trigger would be more powerful. It's your choice there, but Wo dao might be slightly more reliable and it's also cheaper to build, since you can just get it from Athena and you also don't need steady breath for it to work, which is also a pretty big plus.

I have give him Safeguard +def, SB, follow-up ring, Panic ploy, close def in S slot and ignis in special slot => Absolute monster.

You don't need to have QR3 in S slot because follow up ring is QR3 but with 50% hp instead of 70% and work in player phase.
