Specific skill that really boosted characters

Just a small thing I'm wondering.
How many characters did really benefit from the release of a new (premium) skill/seal that accually made them a lot better.

I came to this because I've been trying out Xander with steady stance 4.
Xander is so much better with it, he no longer has to worry about drawn out fights with melee units, or even bold fighter users (who aren't blue), who relied to that for long cd special bombs.
Sure Xander SUCKS agaist mages. Most you can do is a very well timed bonfire.
But with the skill he has a clear goal and finally makes good use out of his DC weapon

A lot of units, and I mean A Lot, took benefit from Fortress Def/Res. That skill is just absolutely amazing in the most disgusting way.

That skill is my dreams come true as a player who likes defence>offence

Still have 2 of em, but too scared to fodder.

L!Ike was pretty good but Special Spiral made him better.

Special Spiral in general helped a lot.
Also allows slower units to one shot more often.

I find it helped mages the most. Particularly Sonya

I'm wanting it for my Ophelia so she can have constant Blazing Light. She's also got a use for the Hardy Bearing to seal as Blazing Light would otherwise activate Vantage which did catch me out once in Aether Raids.

A lot of characters became way better with spiral, especially slower ones, especially mages like Lilina. Faster ones had their benefits too, like Odin

Bulky mages really gained from the release of atk/def bond for their owltome+CC build.
In general atk/def bond is the best bond as it boosts the 2 most usefull stats

True. Those mages usually lack the atk and their def often needed the little push.
Boey is a good example of it.

The Atk/Def Bond 3 seal has been amazing for my Soren. Wind's Brand just works so well with Bond skills, and before G Duel Infantry 3 I ran Atk/Spd Bond 3. With the way my Arena team is set up and the skills I am running, I can get my Soren up to 30-ish Defense. Nonsense.

My Xander can actually handle mages pretty well with double distant defense. I honestly think it was a better idea than steady stance as it takes advantage of Siegfried’s distant counter to make him a nightmare for ranged attackers.

Fortress Def/Res on Roy. I don’t have Kliff yet but next time he’s on a banner I’m gonna get 2 copies of him. One for PvE and one for Fortress Def/Res on Roy.

Dazzling staff: all healers

Null follow-up: certain debuffers, and some faster tanks or duelists. Now they don't need to worry about bold fighter or even QR in some cases. People are sleeping on it.

Witchy wand: Azama.

Bold fighter: many slow armours, especially H.Jakob
