Urge to summon Bownoka and/or Micaiah

Which waifu is better at the whole armor-busting business?

Micaiah comes with the bonus points of statistically coming with a free Quan, and a chance at 4star Silas. Hitting res seems better. I do have a few decent blue mages though (most at 4 star lvl 40 but still)

Hinoka comes with the chance of Klein for DB3 and with the whole flier mobility shenanigans, and i do love fliers. I have almost no relvant archers... just B.Lyn, L.Lyn and no 4star archers ever seemed even worthy of leveling to 40 lol.

I wanted to save for the legfest but hoped for a double up on colorless (Grima came randomly often enough that I want tofinish her off now, but only if the other 2 are good) while it seems we're getting a red Hrid and was getting excited at L.Lucina coming with S.Camilla... but forgot S.Cordelia should come first. So I don't think the legfest will live up to my hopes...

Well, most armors have higher def.
Micaiah absolutely destroys red armors, and can oneshot a good deal of blue armor units with deathblow + atk3 seal.
As a side skill of her, she's amazing as a mage bait.

Hinoka does have the speed to double, but can't one shot armors.
However she is the only non-seasonal flying archer.

I'd say Micaiah is better. Though you might wanna save orbs at this moment. Loads of possibilities on the horizon

Micaiah is awesome. She acts as a very strong LynHardt check with the deflect missile seal.

I like them both a lot.

Def is usually higher than res and Hinoka has trouble against Wary Fighter because she needs to double. But being a flier is great, for the mobility and easy buffs. Hinoka is colourless so she can deal with any armour, where Micaiah can struggle with greens.
Hinoka is also effective against other fliers and has Drive Atk built into her bow. Micaiah is also effective against cavalry and the damage reduction helps her tank Reinhardt and Veronica.

If you're talking about summoning on the Micaiah + Quan + Leif banner, it ended a week ago. Hinoka is still available on the TT banner for a few more hours.
There are more budget armour-busting waifus available like Est or Hana if you want to save orbs.

Oh shit you're right about the micaiah banner, i dunno why I thought it was still on.

Never got decent IVs for budget armorbusters tough (aside for Bartre and recently Cherche, but i feel like she's better with her prf axe)

Bownoka is an amazing unit but... she has a big problem: she can't one-shot armors and they can one-shot her in return. You can try her for dealing with Surtr but you will have to dance her and/or reposition to safety because of Wary Fighter.
