Discussion: Hector. Which is better?

Well, we have 3 Hector in this moment, and another more in one or two months. All Hectors are fantastic heroes, but we would make a ranking.

Is obvious that the worst Hector is the original, but in your opinion, what Hector is the best, Legendary or Valentine Hector? For me, the new Hector has better stats, but I prefer Wrath effect of Armads Bersek

They serve different purposes I think. Depends on what you need on your team.

OG Hector is more versatile at the cost of being better at one thing (he can also run a pretty terrifying Windsweep/Phantom Speed set with a speed boon, the others really can't), LA!Hector is a bit more offensive with the built-in Wrath, and L!Hector is more defensive with built-in Wary Fighter. For the most part. They still aren't strictly upgrades, OG!Hector can be built in ways the others can't.

So can LA hector with double wrath.

That being said (and as someone who's had all three at one point) I prefer LHector.

Opposed to the others he has better res (easier to survive rein and dragons) he can avoid doubles (Hector need a b slot skill and a s seal to do that at all, Lhector needs his weapon and a buddy) he can proc specials constantly on reproc (not doable if you run the no doubles build on hector, as he doesnt have the neccesary charges). He can also run BoldFighter/Quick Riposte effectively, as he can avoid doubles in both phases so long as he has more allies than enemies, and he can easily run qp for longer (takes less hits)

IN short, Lhector is a mix of all the others Hector's but better (highest def, highest atk, highest res, medium speed, a bit lower hp (4-5 hp for a bunch of other great stats) makes himall around better). His skills only further improve upon that.

Quick question btw, why the heck would you run windsweep with phantom speed? You're wasting a B and S slot for hitting a person once?
