Askr trio refine thoughts?

The refines are kinda meh but IS did not do them wrong though.

Alfonse' unrefined weapon is good since it's brazen atk/def in the weapon but the special refine is meh, and with the popularity of gem/TA it's not as good as just refining it with atk(but it's still good just limits him)

Sharena's is IMO the best one, though it does removes her role as a debuffer/support but it helps herself so much. I might give her atk/res bond(if I have fodder for it) so it'll be complete.

Anna's is really Gimmicky and not helps her deal with fights but it might come in handy in tight situations.

well what do you think about the refines? bad, good, or meh?

just gonna say it but New Olivia's hurt pose is kinda........ exposed to say the least.

I'm kind of underwhelmed by them. Alf and Sharena get decent new effects but only Sharena gets a good refine. Anna is totally shafted, that refine, for me, is pretty much worthless. I used Summer Camilla with flier Formation (flying restricted version of Anna's refine) in TT for 4 days and only used the skills twice.

IS have basically messed it up by giving the poor characters refines that move them up to alright. They can't get further refines so that's them stuck at the same level as Arthur. Slightly ranty for which I apologise but I really wanted Anna to be good.

I think all of them are fairly good. I stopped viewing the Askr trio as normal units, because I only use them when I need to (not when I want to), because they can never become competitive parts of high scoring arena teams, but their bonus unit status helps a lot when you don't have one of the other heroes there.

The good thing is, that in arena, one of them will always have the TT stat bonus, so even Anna with her underwhelming refine will shine in there, because of the +4 to all stats and +10 hp (I think that their refines might have been balanced with their bonus status in mind). The same goes for pretty much everyone else and it will make it even easier for us to get kills with them, since it will start raising our arena scores (killing enemies with bonus units).

The other part of their usefulness comes from BHB/GHB quests, where the refines are also really good. Having to pay with dew for those refines will make me hurl tho.

I'll refine Alfonse's weapon for atk and give him brazen atk/def, i'm currently using him with brash+desperation combo, i'll see him ko some blue without too much trouble.

Sharena's weapon has the best refinement, threathen atk 2 was pretty bad and the bond refine she receives will help her in usefull stats.

Anna's weapon is just bad on her, she can teleport with any hp but she can't ko enemies with her atk. I'll replace her weapon with Wo Gun when he'll get demoted, already thought about giving her Giant Spoon from a -spd S!Alfonse but didn't do it since he is a seasonal.

Reall quick also want to say that alfonse' unrefined weapon will most likely not have the brazen skill. It's one of thise refines that will just completely give the weapon different refines. Unless they throw a curveball, which i dont think they will
