Staves+ and their possible upgrades

So, I got curious and checked the video again, since I have an invested interest in staff units, my summoner support unit being Genny.

The staff shown in the trailer is Fear, which is normally 5 might and has the effect of ATK -6 after combat with the enemy, single target only.

Fear+, however, has a might increase of 7 (more than double, which means other staves might have more than double their original might), bringing it up to 12. It has a debuff increase of 1, making it ATK -7. It now is AOE as well, with a range of 2. It also is a 300SP weapon, so it will bring their BST up slightly.

So, with that said, I am assuming at least some of the similar staves will have the same sort of tweaks. Thus, you would probably have Slow being 12 might, 300SP, with an AOE Speed debuff of -7, since it's the same as Fear, but it's speed instead of attack.

So, if that's how they are changing them, the Panic+ staff is nearly equivalent to the Monstrous Bow+ (Possibly more if it keeps the same might increase, from 7 to 14.)

Pain probably turns into a better Savage Blow, (I don't think they'll make it take more health away) and if you combine it with Poison Strike/Windsweep/Watersweep, and Savage Blow that could be really scary.

AOE Gravity would be terrifying and I think it would straight-up murder Horse Emblem, so I sort of both hope it happens and doesn't happen.

Absorb will probably just get more might and maybe upped from 50% of damage dealt healed, to something like 80%. (I think 80% since they seem to like that number.)

I'm pretty confident about Slow, since it's the partner to what was shown in the trailer, but all the rest I have no idea about. Assault will probably just get a flat might increase, and I hope Candlelight only gets a might increase, otherwise they broke staves.

Assault is the base stave weapon for all the other stave weapons, like an iron/steel sword. So I'm pretty sure I'm safe to say, there's not going to be a weapon refinery for Assault... ever.

I think they'll get Assault+ though, since it's normal 10 might is straight up outclassed by the 12 might Fear+ shown in the trailer. They'll probably just make it like the other silver+ weapons though.

the feh channel did not show us an assault+ and as stated before, it is the base weapon for all staves so we're definitely not getting it unless IS plans on releasing a steel sword+

If they do plan on making it like the other silver weapons, it would be released on a new unit and would probably only have around 13 mt because the increase of mt for silver weapons from basic to + is 30%. That would mean that it only has 1 more mt than the fear+ which means it is absolutely outclassed because losing 1 mt is no big deal when you also have a massive AOE debuff

Healers are going to be more fun to use now, they still have to go trough the 50% damage reduction (Unless you use wrathful staff) but they are going to be amaizing support, btw assault is not going to get buff, you can see in the nintendo notifications which staffs are going to get buff

Oh, thanks. I was hoping it would get a + version to give the staves a parallel to the Silver weapon line, but this focuses more on their utility. Oh, and my main healer is Genny, so I like the might increases a whole lot.
