LEirika has access to Radiant Aether?

Or am I wrong?
I mean:

SOL + LUNAR BRACE (cd 3+1 = 4, like Radiant Aether)
-Sol: it heals 50% damage dealt
-Lunar Brace: it does 50% foe defense as damage

The bad part is that is not as good for arena scoring as original Radiant Aether. But boy, Radiant Aether is too good (and with her weapon, she can spamm it easy)

Other options:
-Glimer+LB
-Moonbow+LB
-Astra+LB? That has to be fun.

No, lots of people are mistaking how Lunar Brace works.

It takes 50% of your foe's defense and adds it to your damage output when her special procs. It's basically a Bonfire that goes off of the enemy's defense stat instead.

So, if the enemy has 30 Def, she gains 15 damage. The enemy's defense is still intact, it's just that she snatched it and adds it to her special damage.

Isn't it the same (as Luna) tho? You deal 15 special dmg regardless, although through differently worded means. Even the scaling stays the same.

Edit: I honestly think they worded the skill differently just to allow it to stack with with the actual Luna/moonbow/aether specials, but the outcome will be the same.

I think it might be slightly different in that Luna will calculate the foe's Def -50%, then calculate damage, making total damage subject to the weapon triangle and other Atk scaling calculations. If this is like other skills that say "Increase damge by % of ..." then it will be flat damage added after the total damage calculation is complete.

You might have a point there...I honestly don't understand how and when flat damage is applied in FEH, because I always counted wrath/wo dao damage as flat, because it is always 10, regardless of the enemy's defensive stats and your attack stat.
I still think that the luna/lunar brace outcome will be the same in the end even with triangle advantage/disadvantage, because that affects yours and the enemy's attack dmg, so in the end it shouldn't matter if the enemy's defense get lowered by 50% and you deal increased damage equal to the def reduced, or if the enemy's def gets added as an extra on top of your attack.

I don't know..I don't want to nitpick in this too much, because it's all weird and in the end it probably won't matter too much. It looks like a pretty good skill regardless of how it actually works in the end.

Yes I think its the same xD

You reduce foe defense on 50% (30 def) = you deal 15 extra dmg (because before he had 15 defense which blocked your attack stat)
You add 50% foe defense (30 def) = you deal 15 extra dmg

or you can just run black aether+.
it's 6cd, but pretty much proc on 2nd battle.
just hope that her statspread is good for mixed phase.

It can be not the same.

Luna takes away 50% of foe's Def, so 40 Def becomes 20. You attack with 30 Atk it is 10 dmg
Lunar brace does 50% of foe's Def as dmg. In this same scenario, you attack with 30 Atk, it deals 0+20 dmg if it is true dmg, 10 if not.
