GamePress

Hmm, I need some advice...

I know this is normally avoided by the old timers of the community who want a more, constructive, argument set in the Gamepress site, but I think that for the first time in a while I'm quiet stumped on the matter.

You see I pulled in the LHB and got a Summe Cordelia and have been debating a potential use for her, and yet, though I wish to use her alot (+spd-res) I know not how to build her at all. The same can be said for a Helbindi I got (+hp-res)

I have 3 major options before me. Firesweep, Slaying Lance, or retain her base weapon and build off of that. And even then, since she works so well with all 3 variation of weapons, I'm not sure which I want to give her (first at least). And as such, here's the question. Which build out of the three afformentioned popular builds (Firesweep, Slaying Lance Des Moonbow, basekit with better skills) would you chose over the other?

As for Helbindi, he is a unit I don't want to sacrifice. I have no greens I plan on merging at high levels other than my Sheena (who'm Surtr is already beginning to overshadow as a support armor) and as such, I am curious regarding his skillset use. Sturdy Stance with QR3 and Bonfire? That, or perhaps you guys can help me in deciding the way I'll build him once and for all.

Thanks for helping me pick since, right now, I have no actual clue on what to do with either. I hadn't planned to get any of the two and just did so, I truly am at a loss.

I don't see a need for the frequent responders to be frustrated with a question like yours. You're not the type that posts half-sentence long IV questions every week and keeps it up for months; you've evidently thought about the matter yourself.

Some questions that might help you:
- What other lance cavalry do you have and what roles do they fill? (ex: Oscar won't be as fast, Quan is tankier, L.Ephraim hits harder) and same with Helbindi
- What other non-cavalry fast lances and slow axes do you have and what are their roles? (Ex: flying Cordelia hits a little harder and can use flier buffs; Sheena can use armour skills but doesn't have that prf)

And don't be afraid to let the decision come to you over several days

Don't worry about it. People like and dislike ideas for an unfathomable range of good and poor reasons. Even good words will find poor reception among the foolhardy.

TheMeep, there is always that ”one guy” that thinks it’s funny to downvote every post. If you notice it’s almost every comment in every thread. He got bored the last few weeks and stopped, but recently started up again. Probably because he finds his middle school classes super boring and has nothing better to do.

Personally I'd sway towards firesweep.
Cordelia's biggest strenght is her speed, along with good atk
With that boon she'll double almost everyone with L&D.

Pros to firesweep is that you free up your B slot to run whatever else you want to and your bulk isn't challenged. She actually had decent physical bulk before to run desperation so that isn't too much of an issue. But with your B slot open if you have any fodder you'd be able to make use of it with anything else you want. But it also lets you run LnD relatively risk free while having slaying or spear means you'd have to go for SS/DB/Fury. I don't recommend Shell Lance unless you don't really care too much as it's decent enough but not really better at all. It serves as a Fury 2 with no recoil which is cool, but limits bonus effects.

Here's a few builds.

Firesweep, Luna, LnD, Chill Def, Fority Cavalry (or anything?), Assist/Atk+3

Brave, Luna/Galeforce (?), Fury, Desp, Fortify, same but also brazen

My suggestion is to go with your gut instinct and build a set that fits your playstyle best. Don't focus so much on the build's micromanaged stats but rather on which one you would personally have the most ease of use and fills your needs for your teams
