Will be the Staff change good enough?

What you guys think about that? The MT get incrased and 2 range debuffs example with Fear and many Heal supports get finally buffed.
Think now Elise and Wrathfull Staff fodder is now more what players want for staff users, means still neutral summon Hell.
Still question myself what will be Bride Lyn Candlelight Staff upgrade. 2y debuff and everyone can not Counter back? What will be with Gravity 2y all slowed? Sound strong.
Assault seems the only one not to get a upgrade because 20 mt weapon would be ridicilous.

Not really in my opinion, they just got an upgrade in their weapons like the rest of the units, and they made a better some of their abilities. Like physics + (Range 2 heal half of the unit attack) (I think it was like that)) Is pretty good change, so maybe... You could try stuff emblem.

Problem is what i still think is, you need Wrathfull Staff or maaaaybe Dazzling Staff in b Slot to be viable in Arena as a staff user..

it's good enough to warrant them getting some more use in Grind modes like TT or chain challenges. But it's not an update that is meta breaking. I believe this is a good change.

Given that in the past, colorless hell was pretty bad since they didn't offer much. Perhaps this will turn it around that Healers can get more usage/mileage now.

I dont see a real change with healers. I still wouldnt use them on 1 map in general but for TT or anything carry overs and even then id spend their turn healing more than attacking unless it is to finish someone off.

Must actually really say, stopped totally using staff because they are just to weak. Hell not even using them in TT because Reinhardt/Brave Bow Dance + TT Hero is just enough.
I would maybe try staff if i could get a Elise got Wrathfull fodder then she could be strong in Horse Emblem.
But yeah sadly see from Staff only to be strong Elise and then you still need Wrathfull Staff what is really sad.

Last TT I basically just beat it most of the time with flier team all with desperation except for cherche with axe breaker. Once in desperation mode, pretty much everything is one shotted since all desperation fliers are brave build so its 4 straight attacks.

I think it's a great idea, personally. It just sucks that the unit has to be at 5 star rarity in order to get the upgrade.

Welp, I guess I should definitely try to get a +Atk or +Spd Elise. Knowing that she's a strong Staff user on horseback. The whole recovery improvement thing just makes it even better.

Really kind of wish that Wrathful Staff isn't needed for offensive play.

There are some Staff users that definitely caught my eye now that we've seen the buffs they needed for so long. Such as Priscilla, Genny... and of course, Wrys. He's gonna get the Wryspect he longed for!

Wrathful Staff Lucius is my most used unit so I'm pretty happy that they're getting some changes. However my main concern is I'd probably have to promote and sack a healer to give him a better weapon and Rehabilitate+ because Martyr has never been that good of a healing option and I don't know how big of a boost Pain+ will have.
