We should get new Specials

It's been a long time since we've gotten a new (inheritance) Special. Giving the same, Speedy units Luna, One Shots get Draconic Aura or Fang, High Defense gets Bonfire or Ignis, etc...
Amd let's face it, there's not many buffs you could add to Healing or the AoE specials to make it useful.

So instead I wanna hear ideas of what specials everyone else wants or thinks is a good idea to help balance out the game. Here's mine

Hot Spring : Add damage to your next attack equal to the sum of 30% of both defensive stats
3CD
This would help the units with mixed Defensive stats shine since they usually dont have enough of either stat to justify using Bonfire or Iceberg and they normally trade off attack to get two good defensive stats.
Example: Neutral Camilla Def:28 Res:30
Iceberg = 0.5 × 30 = 15
Hot Spring = 0.3 × 28 + 0.3 × 30 = 8.4 + 9 = 17

Geyser: Add damage to your next attack equal to the sum of 60% of both defensive stats
4CD
Same as above but Ignis/Glacies version

Your suggestions sound pretty good!
Also it's true that we didn't get any new specials in a loooong time, yet I have to disagree in one point: You said Glimmer was useless but in many cases it's even better than Moonbow!

Oh ya I forgot glimmer got that CD reduction and I don't use it that often so it's fairly good now.

I edited glimmer out.

Yeah, the second glimmer got a cooldown reduction, every bladetome user I had lost moonbow and gained glimmer. RIP Lonqu X3

But...Glimmer is really good on Bladetome units... or units with really high attack in general. o_o'

I think it could be interesting if IS game out with lesser versions of specials like draconic aura or moonbow that give units a lower percent boost but also have a low cooldown. A 1 cooldown special would be insane, especially as a 5* exclusive inheritable skill since slaying edge would make it proc every attack and wo dao would become a powerhouse weapon with it, as would wrath.

I'm pretty sure that's the reason they're NOT going to come out with a 1-turn special.

I know everyone hates Ayra but I think it could be a little more fair to add a speed stat-based special that is accessible to everyone, instead of just having the exclusive Regnal Astra. Maybe not 40% like Ayra, but 25% and 30% for the two different paths that Tier 2 skills get (one would be 3 turn CD but do 25%, and the other would be 4 CD but 30%)

No one hates Ayra, they hated the way she was introduced. :p

True, I forgot about the time they decided to test how much nonsense we'd take lol.

Sol is decent if used with wo dao and wrath, its esp a good combo in tempest trials allowing you to easily auto battle lunatic.

Great special ideas but units like christmas tharja would become insane and they would mostly benefit armoured units(hawkeye and camilla and selena are good non armoured candidates.) so it would have to be uninheritable by armoured units. I just see it being too op with combo like bold fighter and vengeful fighter honestly.
