Last Bonfire on Arden or Sigurd?

I only have one M. Robin left for now, and was wondering which character would be better for inheriting his Bonfire.

The Sigurd has a Neutral IV, and I have a couple spare Henrys for Ignis fodder, if it matters.

Personally, I'd probably inherit Bonfire to Sigurd since it's easier to activate and Ignis to Arden since he starts firing off quad-hits at low health.

I think you may have read Follow-Up Ring incorrectly. He only fires off quad-hits at *high* health.

What L0TTO said. Arden requires >50% HP to trigger quad-hits.

On topic: Arden IMO will benefit from Bonfire if you want a quick-firing Special to decimate the hero facing the business end of his sword.

Isn't Ignis actually better for Arden anyway since if he's quadding, he's going to get Ignis in one turn?

Edit: The more I think on it, it's pretty six one, half dozen of the other on which is better. In most cases, Ignis is better though. It's only under scenarios like dealing with Firesweep wielders or magic users knocking him out of Follow-Up Ring range, but there's absolutely no reason though to run anything other than the Brash Assault seal on Arden to guarantee he quads under every circumstances. If anything, I think it's Ignis vs. Aether, although Aether is pricey and thus should only be used if you're seriously looking at using Arden for Arena.

With Quickened Pulse I think Ignis is awesome, since it almost guarantees your special on your first attack even if Arden doesn’t get hit on approach. It is probably overkill though and Bonfire gives you that same near guarantee with a different seal.
