which falchion?

i was raising up a Lucina with not so optimal IVs (+Def/-Res) to run the sealed falchion but i just got a pity breaker Alm with more optimal IVs (+Atk/-Spd).

Both builds i have in mind are focused on double attacks(refined echoes falchion and desperation lucina) so both builds basically do the same thing and have the same job and are both red units so i was just wondering who y'all consider the superior falchion wielder.

Luci has fury and desperation already and alm has renewal and death blow now

Alm is arguably the best Player Phase Falchion user because of his Falchion's "Brave-Sword" effect at full HP, plus he gains the Renewal 3 effect, but that doesn't mean that Lucina is a slouch. She can certainly hold her own thanks to her high speed and her defense (thanks to the defense boon).

I say lucy. Alms falchion is extremely strong but he cant bait AT ALL. So lucina is WAY more flexible as a unit and better in the long run imo.

Alm basically has to have good team comp/support. Lucyna is way more independent. I value that more in my units

Edit. Nevermind. Alm. He is indeed godly. Just play tested him again.

But again...they serve different niches. It depends on you and your needs tbh

Alm has the undisputed strongest Brave effect in the game, and is one of the best on demand Dragon counters right now. He's seriously amazing in Arena Assault against bogus full Dragon teams. Even my -Atk Alm does work, so yours should be godlike.

Definitely Alm.

Alm is arguably the best player phase Falchion user. A neutral Alm with Death Blow and his refined Falchion can one round KO a +10 Steady Breath Nowi. That being said, Sealed Falchion is still excellent on Fury Lucina, especially since it’s buffs stack with hone/fortify buffs.

The main difference imo is that besides killing dragons, Alm doesn’t stand out as much since his stats are rather average. Lucina is an effective red unit when it comes to fighting dragons or normal enemies, although she might struggle a bit more against some blue dragons since she’d have to be in the Desperation range to take them out.

Side note, I wouldn’t recommend running Renewal on Alm since essentially has Renewal 3 built into his weapon, and it’ll heal off the recoil damage from his refine. That way, you can opt to run more powerful B skills.
