Thoughts on Triangle Adept?

(Beyond Raven Tomes)

I used to think it's kind of boring albeit really easy way to get colour advantage matchups even better. I think people use to use Sanaki like that, but it just kind of works (TA + Weapon of your colour Breaker). I do that with Julia in Arena Assault and it just gets the job done.

There's even a guide about it here on this site.

TA for me is good for dancers that don't need to attack anything but their color. I use it on my NY azura. I've also thought about giving TA 1 or 2 to units that still can tank the opposing color but won't do it very often, like gunther and Alphonse.

I have TA on my Nohrzura to help her battle against blue units, but in terms of using it outside of Raventomes and dancers, I think it's a pretty "boring" skill to use.

I think it's extremely powerful, but shouldn't be overused. Sometimes there are much better options. Fury might help more vs the same color or colorless (besides Raven tome users). Breath skills are way better on manaketes and armors. DC/CC is also better on armors besides BK, Zelgius, and Grima. Then there are occasional skills like Swift Sparrow and L&D that should take some priority too sometimes. If you're just looking for someone to sweep a color for arena assault, it's a fantastic option. Otherwise, its arena uses are a little more limited. At most you could have 2 units with TA and get away with that in arena. But you really need some other skills for the ability to take out characters of the same color/colorless.

Ye its good but mostly for support units. Like dancers, blucina, marth, mcorrin, and erika (not so much anymore). People who shouldnt be fighting much but should completely check or at least not die to certain mathups so to not be dead weight.

Otherwise, units generally like beig able to keep some flexibility by retaining their ability of taking on disaadvantageous matchups in a pinch if need be. Something which TA completely safrifices

There are three main uses of TA I can think about:
-TA/Raventome
-TA on dancers/singers who are not very much combat capable
-TA to focus on very specific color threats (eg. Tiki to tank Naga tomes)

I use two from three of them (no dedicated Raventome users yet).

The main problem with TA is that it limits your units to battling those with the same color or the color weak against them. Sometimes it is possible for, say, an F!Morgan using a Bladetome to OHKO a green unit, but with TA that is practically out of the question.
