Bartre and Charlotte vs. Cherche

In terms of combat alone, I find people seem to think Cherche is in a whole league of her own when it comes to running Brave Axe (or in this case, Cherche's Axe.

Bartre and Charlotte are in the 36 Atk range, which is only 2 behind Cherche. But then they have access to stuff like Wrath and Special Spiral. Wrath is an easy +10 Dmg, no only closing in on that mild gap, but outright beating it. Special Spiral would allow stuff like Dragon Fangs every turn, in conjuction to Heavy Blade. Cherche would usually be stuck with one of Moonbow or Glimmer if she wants to do it every turn...which just ends up translating to better performance on the other two.

I just feel this is worth disproving. Infantry aren't as screwed as some people think they are, and it's not like they don't have access to Wave skills and Tactics that would lend similiar performance in this context.

But flier buffs.

+6 Atk, which they can still get from any one of Tactics or Wave skills. I'd even mention the new Rally skill, but it might be a little early for that.

+6 atk is good, but fliers are doing +6/+6 every turn with just one hone (as opposed to two tactics) or +8/+8 panic-proof with two goads, in which case Cherche might actually quad if you use swift sparrow with +spd IV.

Charlotte is a lance unit? She can't run Brave Axe.

Yeah, that's true. However, with a refineable axe you can make a speedy Cherche if you so choose, or a more defensive build that the others can't run as well due to the lack of a refineable prf. The prf also means that she can run Heavy Blade easier than the other two, which means that the special procs will just about even out. Plus, running Special Spiral means they can't run Chill Def. Basically, they perform about the same but I'd say Cherche eke's it out over them, if only just. However, due to being able to run things like Steady Breath and stuff, they have builds that Cherche just can't run.

A speedy Cherche is sub-optimal without a ton of investment, of which Charlotte would run far better either way (+6 Spd). Bartre only loses 1, and also has a superboon.

Cherche running Chill Def kills her only real advantage as a flier, considering Hit n'Run/Dragback can allow them to go over terrain.
