What Skill Would You Like To See Reworked?

I personally think the “Boost” skill line could use more love. +6 Atk/Spd/Def/or Res was a pretty decent deal just for maintaining an Hp threshold. A Firestorm (Atk/Spd) or Geyser (Def/Res) variant would be amazing.

The Defiant series. Aren't Defiant skills completely outclassed by Brazens?

Not necessarily. Disregarding the HP threshold, it comes down to the utility of Combat buffs vs Field buffs. In any case, I’d rather use a Odd/Even Wave than drop down to 50% Hp

But at that point you're trading HP for a field buff that could be reversed, whereas Brazen skills can't be nullified or reversed.

I don't think there's any situation where Defiant skills are better than Brazen skills.

Defiant skills have literally no reason to be here anymore. It's like they've been completely retconned, but they're still there. The ONLY benefit is being able to self-buff +7 Atk for Blade Tomes, but then you're missing out on more Spd as well (I use it on my Sanaki with Brash Assault > Despacito). They con't even stack and +/-7 is the limit.

Also the Aoe specials

The AOE specials are fine. I like to keep them on some units just for that damage on other units.

f****ing bolsh*** fighter. I don't think this skill should ever have existed, or if it should, it needs a more serious drawback rather than also granting a bonus special charge for no reason. The most original idea I've come up with is if your opponent has a natural double (i.e. 5 spd more than you), any follow-up from them occurs before your double. You're a slow unit, they can hit you more than once before you can pull your weapon back into position to make another attack. That, or you suffer a significant defense penalty when initiating.

Guard's HP requirement is extremely stringent. I'd like it reduced, even by 10% to bring it in line with QR.

I wouldn't mind if desperation and vantage were a little harder to activate. 75% is extremely generous. 60% seems decent enough to me.

Brash assault could be a little less severe. 60%HP at level 3, maybe? Then again, when people combine it with desperation...

Special fighter is just released and I think it's pretty questionable. Extra special charge on either unit's action on both phases is ridiculous. How about on the unit's attack only? I mean, even just giving them guard down to 50%HP would have been pretty good.

Blade tomes should probably be reworked. The amount of flat damage those things can add (especially on emblem teams) is ridiculous. Choking mages out of the upper levels of arena where they are needed to check the new disgustingness of armours' 90 billion free special charges is a cheap, thoroughly unadmirable way of dealing with this broken weapon.

B.Veronica's weapon is new, but I say it needs to be reworked. Dazzling Peshkatz? Seriously? A debuff like that shouldn't come free. How far are we from phoenix mode?

Regnal Astra. I've ranted enough so I'll just leave it at that.

Now for more examples with less bitterness:
- how about dual threatens, or extend threaten to 3-range? Give them some way of competing with ploys and smokes.
- is there maybe some way of letting daggers use windsweep and watersweep without worrying about getting hit with QR from the other side of the spectrum? Without taking the challenge completely out of it. Currently windsweep daggers have to worry about dragons screwing them, and watersweep daggers need to worry about physical DC units.

I think B! Veronica is alright because her skill is non-inheritable. I also believe that blade tomes shouldn’t be reworked unless they remove the special count effect or that there should be more generic tomes for more strategies. The defiant skills should have a 70% hp requirement and grant +7 field buff of one stat so that it is a tier below the brazens.

Off the top of my head, I think Cancel Affinity needs a rework. It's a 5-Star locked (for the max level) skill that only exists to counter Triangle Adept, which is already pretty niche in the main Arena and Arena Assault. If your opponent doesn't carry TA at all, then you pretty much wasted a B-Slot on one of your units that could have gone to a more useful skill like Quick Riposte, Vantage, Guard, or whatever else you might want to put there--skills that guarantee value.

I don't think that it should lose its original effect, but it should do something more than just cancel TA. (It's that weak of a skill--in my opinion--that I wouldn't mind if it had multiple effects, as long as its theoretical rework isn't on the same level of broken as Bold Fighter.)

Future Vision, that skill is too unpredictable and broken (unit that can teleport and move again). So many arena runs lost ;w;

Please just remove the condition on Laws of Sacae. L!Lyn will literally be a good unit than what she is now. Hell just give it the same condition her weapon has and it’ll be 10x better than the shit prf skill she has.

Special Fighter is for now one of the worst op skill and may really need a instant fix. Guard +5 and gain Special charge on attack and defense…. WHAT WAS THEY THINKING.

But totally agree if something need a rework then all Defiant skills.

You know what skill needs to be Reworked? The Seal Skills. They are outclassed by skills like Ploy and even threaten skills. As much as I see them on some annoying Firesweep users, they need to be buffed. Seal Skills really serves no purpose up till now, but the skill could have a 'Peshkatz' effect (because why not). For example the unit attacks with Seal Atk/Def and the enemy is inflicted with -5 Atk/Def whereas the skill wielder gains +5 Atk/Def. This skill makes Debuffers more annoying as an enemy wielding a Smoke Dagger and a Seal skill will result into debuffing foes and increasing stats. It could change the way Firesweep users are built. (Like that Firesweep Bow Virion that killed my whole team with 40 Def and seal Def/Spd, it still haunts me ;-;)

Introducing the steal skills: steal atk/def allows you to steal your opponen's atk and def and use it yourself

Perfectly describes the skill.

Actually, I think that's pretty usable. We have the link skills. If both skills involve 6 points to 2 stats, I think steal might even be better unless you want two of your characters to gain 6 points. Steal def/res + atk smoke = !!

Defiant skills. That’s it.
