S!Y!Tiki HAS adaptive damage

Summer Young Tiki DOES have adaptive damage on her weapon. IS popped out a notification saying that the message of "If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res." just doesn't appear and despite this, still has the affect.

So my question to whomever will listen, do you think this is a bit excessive? Not only does she get 3 more defense, she's got a breath effect (Like Steady or Warding breath, just without the stat boost), but also has adaptive damage?

I realize that the adaptive damage is a common thing now, but I felt like she was great as is without it.

EDIT: She's also got Effective against Dragons like BoF on the other Tikis.

Oh wow are you serious? Yeah, w/o the adaptive damage, her stat line and PRF weapon helped compensate to balance it out.. but now, wow, that is definitely a big deal. DC A Slot is pretty much very optimal now.

If memory serves right, SY!Tiki is the first one to have 4 effects in one weapon.(dragon effectiveness, +3 def, Steady breath{ minus the +4 effect} and now adaptive damage.) Correct me if I'm wrong, someone.

I think it's too much. though the adaptive is good. I am happy with the weapon(the effects that can be seen) even without the adaptive damage . with the adaptive damage people are gonna put DC on her and it's kinda generic nowadays.

Refined Sword of Seals was first:
1-Dragon Efectiveness
2-Quick Riposte 5
3-Distant Defense 2
4-Close Defense 2

Best refinement so far

You could say B.Ike had 4 effects with Urvan. Special trigger reduse and all 3 type Deflect Seals added. Still that was not op and was fine. But S. Tiki Y 4 effects are way better then B. Ike......

Adaptive dmg is most likely a thing that every dragon must have now and it doesn't seem to count as a separate weapon skill, just as 'effective against' skills don't seem to count as separate weapon skills by that logic when it comes to unrefinable prf weapons (e.g. Micaiah and Hinoka, who both have effective against, a stat upgrade and an ability).

If it wasn't too much on Myrrh, then it won't be too much in Tiki's case, although I wish that they would lead dragons in at least a slightly different direction, because nowadays every dragon just screams: DISTANT COUNTER.

Every dragon breath has adaptive damage, I was surprised that this one didn't seem to.

"Not only does she get 3 more defense, she's got a breath effect (Like Steady or Warding breath, just without the stat boost)"
She has steady breath without the defence and also she has defence. So... she's basically just got Steady Breath.

Steady Breath in her weapon slot and Distant Counter in her A, is the same as the standard infantry dragon build with Lightning Breath + Steady Breath, except it's on a flier. It's strong but I don't think that's excessive? It's kinda boring though.

Maybe the dragon effectiveness is excessive, she probably didn't need that as well.

Yeah... I get that, but the defense is always there while cooldown reduction is only for being attacked. Which while it's technically a -1 defense steady breath, I felt the need to say that it wasn't.

I was more thinking it was "excessive" due to the number of different effects on her weapon. 1)Effective against dragons. 2) 3+ def. 3)Cooldown reduction when attacked. 4)Adaptive Damage.
All on a non-refined weapon (Which probably won't be like Myrrhs.)

This was what I was thinking. Basically every Dragon with lightning breath just has a breath skill for an A-slot, so pretty much the same thing.

But.

Tiki is a flyer. She seriously beats Myrrh in many areas, tier 1* in my book.
