Thoughts on Light Brand

Just wondered what everyone's thoughts on the Light Brand were? In the base game, the Light Brand had a distant counter effect, so were you a little bummed that it lacked it?

Honestly i don't dislike the effect the Light Brand has, and actually i would have been a little disappointed if he had distant counter as it wouldn't have been an original idea as already enought swords have it. The 7 added dmg will activate most of the time and since il isn't an in combat buff but is true dmg, the effect can be pretty useful when he fight against a blue and he can double as he will deal 14 added dmg

It's essentially a 23 Might sword if the enemy doesn't waste BST on having balanced defenses. Aside from some archers which are squishy enough already, and some fellow swords, not many units have this balanced setup.

True that it is a good effect, but nowadays, there are a growing amount of mixed defense units that have nearly even def and res so :l

Leif needs the extra might the most on melee units with at least 30 def
Excluding dragons, there are 71 melee units with at least 30 def and only 7 of them have res within the 5 range of their def.

So as long as you avoid dragons and the few balanced units he'll proc it pretty often.
It's not the most overpowered skill, but it ain't bad. Espcially with the +3 bonus def
