Swift Sparrow or Darting Blow?

Topping off "NY" Corrin at 35 with his skilletset and bow refine. Didn't feel like making a copy of Faye with Guard Bow set (of which I already have), so I want to make him into my first 2-hit offensive archer (not counting Quad archers).

- Swift Sparrow would top off at 39 Spd. While it isn't shabby by any means, I'm not entirely convinced.
- Darting Blow would be losing off to 4 Atk, but then breaking the 40 Spd margin at 41 is pretty solid.

His Atk is sub-bar either way, but at least he somewhat makes up for it for his 17 burst Dmg with Bonfire (Slaying Bow helps). There's also L&D, but that somewhat beats the entire purpose?

Did you give him a slaying bow? Or keep his original bow?

You could go for Swift sparrow and +3spd S seal, which would get him to 42 on the attack.

Although, I'd say go with darting blow first, since it doesn't require sacrificing a 5* to try. If you like it, keep it. If you miss the attack, go swift sparrow.

Also, kudos for going a different route with N.Y. Corrin!

35 Spd would be without an A-slot and only +3 Spd Seal & Refinement. Swift Sparrow would bump that up to 39 and Darting Blow 41 respectively.

Figures, I'd give the cheaper option a try first. Not a bad idea.

I like this build. I'm personally building him as a support unit with that Hama Ya, that dual rally, and that dual spur C skill.

Why would you even consider Swift Sparrow for a hero that cannot be used for competitive play in anyway?

He just doesn't have any arena scoring potential. For AA bench, all he needs is Bowbreaker and Bonfire to be a good Lyn counter.

...and there we go with that anal defensive attitude of mine.

What I mean to say is, I don't really think that kind of thinking has much room. If someone is asking the question, it's most likely because they can afford it (unless they're specifically asking what you're addressing). It's really easy to be "viable". My friend literally gave Mist Bowbreaker and called her a "Lyn counter". That's how easy it is- and boring, too.

This isn't even a scrub player rant. I juggle between Tiers 19-20 without too much issue, so it's not like building character in another variety affects that. Hell, it's not like there aren't other modes I can use them.
