+HP/-Res Takumi - fodder CC?

I have a Takumi I never, like never use.

Should I fodder his Close Counter? Who are the best units for this fodder?

I was thinking my H.Jakob. He’s +Res/-Def (not ideal but still pretty damn strong), I have 2 builds currently on him. I’ve been running DB3, Bold Fighter 3, Atk Ploy (C-slot) n Def Ploy (S).

I have a refined monstrous bow, but have changed to Brave Bow+ of late. Have gone with Glacies recently as he has a propensity to hit quads.

So my question, given he has questionable defence at 30, but 35 Res, is it worth it?

Suggestions for other units people have attached CC would be great! I stupidly dropped a CC on my Brave Lyn months n months ago and never use it.... don’t wanna make the same error. Sorry for the essay!

Jakob works well with CC, but you should give him guard bow and CD3 so he can tank both melee and ranged units.

In my case i gave CC to Jaffar because is my fav unit, he works wonders in grand conquest.

Wouldn't have thought Jaffar had the defenses for Close Counter. I assume he gets a decent amount of support from his allies.

My Jaffar is +HP/-Def, and with the proper support he can take a hit, then enter vantage range and start the massacre.

Niiice. I badly want a Jaffar.

I have been wondering where to get a Guard Bow, who do I need to promote to get it for him? I have a Setsuna but it isn’t listed in her skills? Is it a refinement on Assasins Bow?

Sorry, not great with the shorthand, CD3? Close Def 3?

Guard Bow is the refined Assassin's Bow that Setsuna has.

And yes, CD3 = Close Def 3.

Ahhh, great. I will do this for him as he is one of my favourite units. I’m so noob. I started playing Blazing Blade years ago (played it for like 10 years on repeat) and this is the only other one I’ve played since.

Thank you!

Close Counter is an extremely rare skill that I wouldn't recommend foddering unless you were giving it to a merge project.

+Henry
+Saizo
+Sophia
+Matthew
+Boey
+Gordin
+Leon
+M!Robin

You can also think about giving it to Absorb+ healers, or Savage Blow + Vantage dagger units.

Ahh! Thank you.

I haven’t really started any merge projects, I have quite a few +1’s n 2’s and a +4 L!Robin.

For general use in Arena - who do you recommend starting with?

Hard to say, really. It mostly depends on what your other Arena units are.

Henry has high defense and HP, allowing him to reliably use Panic Ploy/Infantry Pulse and tank physical melee units. He can even tank some blues.

Saizo is a dagger unit, allowing him to debuff the enemy's stats and help his teammates. He can also run the dual Savage Blow + Vantage set.

Sophia is similar to Henry in the regard of having a lot of defense. The differences, however, is that she has more attack and resistance to work with, but has less HP. She's more of a sidegrade rather than a direct upgrade.

Matthew is pretty much similar to Saizo, but he has less attack and defense. He has more HP to kinda make up for it, so eh.

Boey can be incredible due to having good defense and HP. He also has an Owl tome, allowing him to tank even better when near allies, especially when those allies provide Drive Def buffs.

Gordin and Leon are fairly similar, but Leon has less HP, more attack and speed, and less defense.

M!Robin is pretty much the "blue Boey" if you will.

Thank you for this, I have been stumped for where to start because despite getting through AA and Arena’s without losing a character and using my tankiest armours I cant get above Tier19/Rank 10k.

I lack a strong Green Mage so I will start with Boey. I think I have 6/7 x 4*’s so hopefully will be fast.

Cheers again mate!
