Is Quadsuna worth it?

Title says it all

Not particularly. Setsuna's damage is too low to really make much use in many cases. It's mostly a gimmick to watch her fire off 4 attacks...
Bridal Cordelia pulls off Brave Bow + LnD much better, but is ofc limited.

You're better off using LnD with a mage.

Thanks for the advice! I really want to add a powerful brave bow archer to my team, shame that Bridal Cordelia can't be obtained anymore, at least for the time being.

Innes is the next best thing man! He's got 33/34 compared to Bridelia's 35/35. My Bridelia's (+3) and (+ATK/-DEF) and I run her with Firesweep Bow over Brave Bow, personally, as this way she has a lot more utility and can maximize off of Life & Death even more. I can also run something besides Desperation as her B Slot.

Trust me, summon for Innes and hope to RNGesus that you get a (+ATK) or (+SPD) nature and that a (+ATK/-SPD) IV is much easier to make the most out of than a (-ATK) IV.

About every Quad is worth it, assuming it's also equipped with the right special (aka pretty much Luna). 40 Spd is godlike, and a rule of thumb is that those who you don't quad, you'll likely kill in two hits (with some like Lucina being an exception due to their Spd). If you run Quad Luna and you're at least around 40 Atk (which is what LD3/LD2 + Seal; Setsuna neutral Atk), you're doing some serious damage.

For reference, my *4 Clarisse only has 40 Atk 31 Spd, and yet:

She can kill a 50 HP/31 Def Hawkeye (Trials), which is only 2 Def away from neutral HP/Def Effie. And doing the math, she would actually kill her too if she didn't have Wary Fighter. I also had an image of her taking out Ephraim on a defensive tile. Quad Luna (which is a suggestion I got from this very site) is just that good.

Thanks for the advice! I honestly think for the time being I should just wait and see what I could do in the future, because little did I know Quadsuna is REALLY expensive. Though I am going to try and build a brave bow unit, or at least wait until I can afford Quadsuna.

I'm assuming you mean that the build in paper would cost at least 40k feathers in 5*ing her and Gaggles. You could also try merging *4 Setsunas (with the +Spd being your "main"). It's a lot cheaper in terms of feathers, potentially nets you a just as stronger (or even stronger, if you go over 4*+6) unit. The only thing is having enough of them, which shouldn't be hard if you have a few orbs.

Yes she is worth it if you need an archer with amazing speed who can deal significant damage despite having low atk.

Quadsuna basically requires Brave Bow+ and Life and Death 3 so you know her def & res will be really low and her speed will be reduced by 5. So don't go for this build without a +Spd Setsuna with anything but an atk bane. Also be sure to pair her with an ally that can handle Ike, Xander, Camus, and basically any clown with distant counter. I think she is best when used with at least one ally that can buff her Atk by 4. And an hp+3 seal is best (IMO) to make her better for arena. That makes her more likely to soak 1 attack and survive. My Quadsuna often soaks 1 hit then goes the rest of battle with less than 5 hp.

I use mine with a +Atk Linde that also has hone Atk 3. She works really well for me.

You remind me as to why he said she's too expensive. Getting her LD3 is potentially yet another 5*, which could potentially be 60k feathers. I've seen a few mentions of LD2 here and there, and I'm glad people are seeing it. LD2 is the next best thing, and +Spd LD2 Brave Setsuna is looking at 39 Spd, which you can patch up to 40 with a Seal so you can get people like Ryoma. Giving her Desperation takes her away from getting countered, which also allows her to kill Ike and Ryoma without getting countered.

Report

There are 3 other slots and many better units for taking out Ike and Ryoma. Yes you can put LD2 and save 20K feathers and that's fine but HP+3 as her seal gives her extra HP that she desperately needs. It gives you more options to soak 1 hit then use skills like Desperation or Escape Route more quickly which makes her more useful on more maps.
