Comes with 5 skills... though, this doesn't always mean such units will have higher BST (like Neko Sakura and Witch Nowi), but it seems that Dorcas shares the same BST weight as Brave Ike at 162.
Brave Ike
+ Weapon accelerates Special cooldown by 1
+ Weapon reduces chain attacks by 80%
+ Innate Steady Breath further accelerate Special by 1
+ Signature Beorc's Blessing ignores enemy Cavalry/Flier buffs
Dorcas
+ Weapon has built-in Distant Counter
+ Innate Fierce Stance grants him Atk+6 during Enemy Phase; opposite of Death Blow
+ Innate Infantry Pulse allows him to speed up Special cooldown
+ Innate Quick Riposte lets him become Infantry Hector
Both
+ Similar Attack stat
+ Similar physical bulk
+ Both are Axe wielders with unique weapons
What are your thoughts? Who is better and why?
Defensively B!Ike is better due the 80% dmg reduction, allowing him to survive magic nukes and his Beorc's Blessing is great for counter emblem teams (except armor). Dorcas is an offensive powerhouse due to infantry pulse, allowing for an immediate moonbow with quicken pulse (not 100% sure if it stacks correct me if I'm wrong). Plus Dorcas' resistance isn't that bad, give him distant defense and he can reach 30 res which lets him check Reinhardt better.
Both are extremely viable and both for different reasons. Ike has great survivability, whereas Dorcas with his base kit becomes a backbone of potential infantry focused teams. He can be the main tank/bait unit, that'll probably become a one-shot god with Delthea's 6atk buff and his stance skill + vantage. It should get him at like 63dmg on a single hit with such setup, therefore it'll be safe for him to vantage bait almost every single blue.
Hard to say as both fill different niche. Heard people not liking dorkass, but he is the only green with DC on his weapon. That mean that unlike Ike, he can bait and kill repeatedly any blue mage with distant counter if you give him TA, an option Hector nor bike have. I am not saying he is better, but he should not be slept on. He also has less speed than bike, thus giving him more stats elsewhere(read res)
He is interesting but must say Urvan has a insane Value. With Chain attack reduse of 80% and special cooldown by 1 we have actually 4 effects in one Weapon.
If we see Sigurd b slot 2 effects as example it protect vs 2y range attacks(tome and projectile ) and b Ike just reduse every second attack that is insane.
Seal form we can choose only 1 dmg type of 3.yea actually Dragon and Staff missing.
I value still B Ike as the best tank in game and think is a bad thing to use with him Distant Counter.
