geyser dance

just curious but does anyone know why geyser dance 2 gives +4/+4 when its a combo skill between earth and torrent dance? considering earth dance gives +4 Def just like all the other dance skills, geyser dance should give a +3/+3 buff instead normally right?

like just following IS' scheme like spur atk/def giving only +3/+3 or rally def/res only giving +3/+3, any official info or anything like suspicions that could explain why geyser dance is more powerful than it should be?

Im not sure. Maybe because it's a unique skill? I would expect them to give each dancer a variation of that skill (Inigo getting some uniquely named spd/res boost, Axzura has her super boost, Shigure gets his def/res boost and Olivia could get a atk/spd boost) which was my original gripe with it. There's literally no skill (outside of geyser dance) that incentivizes its use.

Earth Dance gives +5 defense, unless you're meaning Earth Dance 2?

I wouldn't say it's more powerful than it "should" be. One reason, like stated before, is because it's a unique skill. Another reason is because it was supposed to get people to actually use the character over others.

Gale Dance gave speed.
Blaze Dance gave attack.
Geyser Dance gave Def/Res.

Kinda corresponds to how the elements are usually.

Speed is usually associated with wind.
Attack is usually associated with fire.
Defense is usually associated with earth.
Water is usually the more "spiritual" of the elements, so I can see why it gave resistance.

Although it doesn't always follow the rules, hence why the legendary heroes aren't always what they seem. Earth was actually the defensive blessing with V!Ike.

It could also be that you're looking at as a combination of other skills instead of looking at as its own skill.

oh wait i didnt notice the earth dance thing but blaze and gale both give only 4

also buddy i dont get why you're spouting elemental info on me lmao i just asked why the buff is stronger when its a combo skill but i see its following refinement rules where def/res buffs grant more stats than atk/spd buffs

Sorry, I kinda went off on a tangent there and didn't really conclude the point. xD

Earth Dance is different from Blaze and Gale dance because.. well Flyzura wasn't in that batch. Earth Dance was on a flying singing unit, so I can see why they'd give it +5.

It could also be because they wanted to actually distribute all stat boosts without them actually overlapping to other characters. +4 Def/Res, in my opinion, is fine when compared to the possibility of something like +4 Atk/ whatever other stat booster since attack and speed are usually affiliated with "offense" whereas defense and resistance are "defensive" stats.
