Tier list for refines - Coffee version

I have so much of that gold nugget stuff, like 1000+ and struggle to find units to give it to, so my dust usage is quite minimal.
How do you find ways to get rid of so much of it?
By the way Alfonse's refine makes him a total beast with a brazen set, so I hope you haven't undervalued him because you can't merge him.

How is sabers op?

I won't go through all my differences, but there are a few I want to bring up.

Sanaki I think is a B. She hits almost as hard as Lilina, and she has significantly better res.

Saber is definitely not an S. If he were faster, maybe.

Catria and Est are not S. They're really good, but the effect is no good in AR where they are perhaps needed most.

Celica I think should be S. That's so much firepower.

Roy should be better than B.

Linde is better than B. With +spd is at, what, 55/44? With swift sparrow she's on a level with Ishtar.

Anna I think is better than you give her credit for due to sorcery blade, blue flame, and bond seals. If it weren't for those three I would say yes it's not very good, but if she can access those three I think she pulls off some interesting stuff.

Zephiel refine s " didnt aged well", but none Zelgius survived to tell stories against Reinhardt, even with seals to reduce 80% damage!

Well, Btws, however, while you dont have DC, you only have to complain.

IS doesnt know about Anna either

I feel like Navarre should be brought up at least one. That's not bias speaking, that Special cooldown is absolutely remarkable. Combine it with Special Spiral and he can dish out Lunas or Dragon Gazes all day. It's actually insane. This is specifically why I happily await a Desperation seal.

Saber is good but not OP, DC is very overrated nowadays. Surtr is the classic example: no DC but a beast.
Navarre should be A Tier. With Quickened Pulse (or an Infantry Pulse from an ally) and Special Spiral it starts the battle with Growing Wind fully prepared and after triggering it, it will go to 0 again no matter what ready to fire it again. Really useful for multiple maps modes like squad assault and tempest trials, or grand conquest, but still very strong in other modes.

Anna's refine is weird. It's certainly kinda weak but it has its uses: with that refine, you can easily proc the Bond skills which are very good. Also, we just got Atk/Def Bond 3 as a seal, and the NY Tempest Trials will give Atk/Spd Bond 3 as a seal, so it certainly becomes better and better. The refine makes Anna a better unit but not THAT strong, still useful if you want to use her.

Merric's refine makes him the only mage avaiable at 3-4* with a tome that grants CD -1 so far. In addition, it gets effectiveness to fliers which is very useful. There are a lot of high defense fliers that you can't take down with a bow for example. Also, he can pull off the same AoE thing as Navarre but it needs 2 Infantry Pulses and a Quickened Pulse. Kinda costly but it can be pulled off, and it's good because it's avaiable at low rarity.

>S:(almost) OP
Alm

Thanks Mr.Coffee, now you blew it.
IS knows now that he's broken and that's a even bigger reason to don't put him on a banner.
AH MR.COFFEE IS ONE OF THEM!

Roy is being undersold I think. When you count how good the refine is you should count how good the refine is specifically because of how much better it made them. Roy was one of the worst characters in the game and his refine was really strong. QR5, Dragon Effectiveness, Bracing Stance is a bit loaded for a refine. It made him unusable to good. So either top of A or S.

Celica has an ok refine but it wasn't that much better than what she was. I think Lilina got it much better because Chill Res + DB3 > Brazen Atk/Spd.

Innes much higher, especially over Jeorge. He's immune to magic that's nothing to scoff at. Probably middle or top of B.

The rest I think is pretty correct
