Decision: F!Takumi or Nina

So one of my more serious questions.

Wanted to build one of them.
My current team consists of Legion (Damage), BK (Damage) and Kliff (Tank).
Either wanted F!Takumi to be another Damage Dealer/Chip Damage or Nina to be a Side Tank/Debuffer.

What I had in mind for both:

F!Takumi:
W: Skadi
Special: Moonbow
A-Skill: Fury or Atk/Spd Bond
B-Skill: Escape Route
C-Skill: Spd Smoke
Seal: Savage Blow

Nina (-Atk,+Res [IV's don't really matter to me, but those're conveniently the IV's that I wanted])
W: Clarisse's Bow (Spd)
Special: Iceberg
A-Skill: Fury or Atk/Spd Bond
B-Skill: Escape Route
C-Skill: Res Smoke
Seal: Brazen Atk/Res

Gimme some information that I might don't know about my decisions on both and which one it is that I should maybe build.

Thanks to everyone answering and have a great day.

Skadi may be a bit gimmicky but Takumi is a GHB unit so he'll be a bonus unit in AR and Arena from time to time. He's also a decent debuffer.

With those IVs Nina will have 2 less atk than Takumi which is a very bad thing as archers hid def that normally is the highest stat in the game making atk the most important stat for them, Nina still has 3 more spd but in the current meta, unless you're Ayra Karla or Lewyn, spd isn't the most important stat mainly because dragons (which are the most common and strongest unit type along with armors) will double throught skills rendering spd a much less usefull stat.
The defining factor for the choice, in my opinion is their phisical bulk, in arena and in PvE having enougth bulk to take a hit and enter desperation safely is an essential factor for their utility, both are able to enter in desperation from a mage but Nina will hardly get into desperation if the enemy hits her def while Takumi can.
If Takumi runs his prf he will have better offensive stats compared to Nina, since his weapon gives him +3 spd they equalize in that stat and he has better atk which is very important, and Takumi also has the better defensive stat being able to take a hit in both def or res

Why don't you suggest to use Clarisse instead of Nina (if you plan to use Clarisse's bow)? Nina has nice res but unexistend def stat if i'm correct, unlike Clarisse, her def and res stats are decent so she can become pure supportive unit that can heal ,debuff and do chip damage in one initiation. (You can do similar thing with Nina if you need res tank) Fortress def can be replaced by SS3 but having 33 def on both phases is viable enough to sacriffice 3 points of her atk.

Fallen Takumi is literally Clarisse with 4 more Res and a prf weapon, Lul. Might as well give him her bow and go from there.

Report

Well, maybe. If you go for Takumi yyou need to spend more feathers than just using Clarisse, i doubt 3 -4 points res is worth 20k feathers.

Report

There's that but at the end of the day, it all depends on the player. For casuals, it's probably a waste unless Takumi is a favourite. He scores 4 more than Clarisse cause of bst and prf weapon and it's no hassle swapping to Skadi for Arena anyways.

Why use archer for Arena? If we're talking about non casuals then why can't that person use H!Jakob instead? He will be much stronger with armored BST brave bow+ and bold fighter.

Report

Only when he's a bonus unit or if you want to run C Duel infantry (Which scores more than H!Jakob who is arguably harder to +10).
