Donnell 4 star merge bulld?

I got talked out of giving Clive ridersbane+, so it’s donnells turn. What do you think about him using it, or just take Clive’s silver lance+? He can get a pretty impressive stat line if you drop that brave lance and give fury. If you say to use brave lance+, I am not promoting a 5 star for it. I’m just tying to make use of my left over 5 stars.

It has potential. That's enough speed to prevent him from being doubled and he is bulky enough to take a few hits. He'll also be easy to merge +10...at least I pull Donnels all the time. I'd definitely give him one of the new Deflect seals and watch ranged brave attacks bounce off him.

I think that Silver Lance+ is best if this is just a budget fill-in (PvE and Arena Assault), but if you plan to use him more competitively (Arena) than Ridersbane+ will get a lot more mileage.

Wow. I didn't know Donnel could get those sort of stats. By all means, use that Ridersbane. It's almost as strong as Silver Lance, and cavalry are very common.

To be honest, I would say that Brave Lance+ would help much more than a Silver Lance+ or Ridersbane+. Even if Silver Lance and Ridersbane have more MT and don't have the speed drawback, Brave Lance in conjunction with a +ATK nature can lend itself to a very large amount of ORKOs, which are typically most desirable. Donnel would still have a solid attack stat as well as the bulk to take a few hits (A lance would need 58x2 or 48x4 to ORKO and a blue mage would need 49x2, which although isn't the hardest to come across, could be ignored with the Deflect Magic Seal.) Donnel can certainly work with a different lance, but Brave Lance just makes him more capable of achieving ORKOs.

On a side note, I typically run damage calcs against a Fury 3 override to see what what would change, without the fury override he has 117 wins, 8 losses, and 37 inconclusive.
