Nowi TA Swordbreaker?

I'm running TA swordbreaker budget build for my nowi, until i notice something.

Isn't it bit too much? I mean, sure she can handle ayra or meta red sword but only TA will do it, right? When my nowi face a falchion, she literally eats it. Like, taking no damage while nuking in retaliation. If yes, what is the good B slot for her?

Cheers

Do you have QR

It's completely fine. It's designed to be her complete anti-Falchion set, and is best imo for Dragon Emblem teams who need an established 100% counter to any and all Falchion units.

If you're not using her on Dragon Emblem, yeah, you could probably do just Triangle Adept, and then Quick Riposte 3 in the B-Slot or Seal. If you do QR in the Seal slot, you can put an ability like Guard, Renewal, or Wrath in the B-Slot. I've had some success with Bowbreaker too, if you really hate Brave Lyn like I do. I run Guard most of the time, though - it makes it so I don't really ever have to worry about specials.

Essentially, keep Swordbreaker with TA if you really don't want to die to Falchions, and never want to worry about Sword units whatsoever.

If you want a little more variety in power, then QR-3 in the B-Slot or Seal is the best option.

My anti Brave Lyn (and also Reinhardt) is FRobin. But your idea seems nice.

Would like to invest some to dragon emblem, after finishing my armor emblem. Green armor unit is hard to find for me.. Maybe because i don't pull green for awhile..

A great Green Armor unit that's easy to get a hold of is Sheena. Sure she's expensive to build, considering her best build has Distant Counter and Vengeful Fighter, but she does still have the best total bulk in the game. She's common enough that you can get some good merges, especially since she just got bumped down to the 3-4 pool.

I mostly use Nowi on my Dragon Emblem with Fury/Swordbreaker/Threaten Res with the QR seal. IMO, Swordbreaker is really good in her B-slot due to her middling Speed stat leaving her susceptible to many of the speedy sword units we have currently. TA isn’t bad, but I’d honestly recommend swapping TA for something else instead of removing Swordbreaker. If you really want to swap her B slot tho, QR is her best option. Guard could also work if you want to use QR in the Seal slot, but it’s up to you.

I like to run Vantage on mine, but I use mine as a mixed tank (+res-hp). Quick Riposte is good if you prefer to have her bait more than attack, sword breaker if good for the meta but that’s about it. Your right in the sense that unless she’s going up against falchion (lucina or Marth are the only real threats considering their speed) then having both would be overkill.
