Hi everyone. I'm pretty sure this topic has already been discussed but I would like to know where everyone would place L!Lucina Tier-wise. I personally feel she could be Tier 1 on the virtue of Future Vision (anyone who has attempted the Infernal map of her LHB knows what I'm getting at). But, I also feel that because of her status as a colored bow and her above average stats, she could be Tier 2. I would love to hear everyone's opinion on this. Thanks.
Btw, this is my Legendary Lucina. When I first summoned her, she was +HP/-Def. When I managed to summon her again in my attempt to recruit Ishtar, she was +Spd.
She's a solid tier 2 unit if I would have to rate her. Good offensive power combined with extreme mobility is pretty powerful and especially useful in arena defense, where she can catch people off guard, but she can't carry a whole team like Hector or other powerhouses can do.
The same as Green bow Lyn
Archers as a whole nowadays are very weak but what the other archers have that Lyn and Lucina does'nt has, is that they don't have color disadvatage/advantage and that what made the colorless pool good in a way.
now yes Lucina is now effective aginst Reds but Normally you see greens and blues in arena and even if you do see reds they're accompanied with more blues or greens.
I think her being blue is a significant advantage for high tier arena, honestly. Prominent greens, such as Grima, Hector, etc. can't be taken down by colorless archers, so Lucina being blue doesn't actually impact a matchup that she wouldn't be engaging in. For blues, at worst, you're just as effective as a colorless archer. Being able to take on Zelgius, Tikis, Winter Tharja, etc. does give her a solid role in many team comps. I think she'd probably still struggle against the likes of Slaying Edge Ayra, but with team support I'm sure she could handle that matchup as well.
My two cents.
I honestly don't see the problem with colored archers as a whole. L!Lyn was just a mediocre unit. Having bad matchups against certain units because of color disadvantage is something that all units have to deal with or overcome, the ladder of which being what I think Lucina does when decently invested into. I'd rate her a 2 on the tierlist (would be 3 without the self-dancing swap thing).
Tier 5, because that's the tier that has some of the best units if you actually build them properly!
I really don't like the tier list. Maybe it's just me, but it comes across as a "terrible guide" once you actually know what you are doing.
Edit: In an effort to come across as less salty towards the tier list I suspect she will be Tier 3. Once Atk/Spd Link is introduced she will climb to tier 2, but how the list seems to prioritize BST (Understandable, due to how IS runs Arena scoring, but that's a terrible system) and Speed she's not going to score quite as high as she should.
If you're insisting on a tier ranking, I'd stick her pretty low because she has just nothing to offer against DC armors and Dragons, the units that really matter for high level arena. Add to that a low BST and you've got a recipe for a low tier ranking.
Now with that said, I think she's still a good unit for a variety of other modes and that her assist is obviously very interesting.
To me the difficulty of her infernal GHB had a lot less to do with Lucina herself than with the flood of minions with very good triangle coverage.
