How’s my Fae boys?

Beautiful.

I'm not a fan of putting lightning on everything, but Fae is the exception.

Make sure to stack up the ward armor/dragon!

Steady/Warding Breath+Lightning Breath is a lot stronger then Glittering+DC. A lot cheaper, too.

In my opinion, tanks like these benefit from having Aether for selfsustain (not to mention, arena scoring if that's your priority), and the Breath skills (a-slot) give you better special cooldown reduction, allowing you to hit aether from 6 cooldown if you get doubled. This also allows you to slot Bold Fighter/QR. And this Fae incarnation has a lot of attack to be effective on player phase.

Then again, there is only one QR seal.

Even without SB/WB, you can still use lightning breath alongside DEF/RES bond, or any other A-slot skill (Fortress Def/Res is arguably stronger then the Bond on Fae). DC is very expensive if you can get it from your weapon.

My perfect Fae would actually still be different then all these, however. I'd slot Lightning Breath, Fortress def/res, Special Fighter and QR seal. You would lose the offensive presence, but it will be an absolute pain to kill without a Falchion.

Look at this beast:

This is what I wanted to run but I got pitybroken by a fucking Camilla.

Lookin' good
