Trying to see if I can build a Henry. It seems CC is pretty much the only go-to, unless I want to go with a lame staple TA > Raven Tome (or a really mediocre Blade Tome user...).
+Def/-Spd
Weapon (ideally Owl Tome though no way in fuck am I killing a Katarina for this). Otherwise, Ravens might be your go-to.
A: Close Counter
B: Quick Riposte/*Guard
C: Atk Ploy/*Spd Smoke
S: Close Defense/Deflect Melee?
Special: Bonfire/Ignis
*stuff
- Guard would make him more of a duelist type, to outlast and heavily annoy his enemies.
- Between Bonfire and Ignis, Bonfire would be a garantee every encounter, whereas Ignis would need aid of something like a Pulse to activate on a first encounter. Thing is, even with something like 50+ effective Def (Hones + supports/Spurs), he's still not all that likely to garantee a oneshot. On the other hand, Ignis is just monstrous.
