A free calvary archer are you insane.Or even yknow, give him his canon class as a mounted archer.
Someone mentioned that Villagers in Gaiden and Echoes start out using swords which doesn't make sense when you consider that swords were often used by royalty and those who could afford it unlike villagers who would probably be using spears or even axes, but that's another story. So, I guess he's in his canonical starting class? Sucks though, since archer Tobin would have been at least a different unit even if he wasn't a mounted archer.I like Tobin but...why is he a sword. Like, I get that they can't avoid making more swords, but they definitely could with Tobin. At least make him a mounted unit, since I made him a cavalier in Echoes. Or even yknow, give him his canon class as a mounted archer. That would've been better than giving me another sword when I already have 5 and want to build 2 others
Sort of. Spears are just a long stick with a point tip, or a pointy thing tied on, and everyone would of had an axeSomeone mentioned that Villagers in Gaiden and Echoes start out using swords which doesn't make sense when you consider that swords were often used by royalty and those who could afford it unlike villagers who would probably be using spears or even axes, but that's another story.
Would that work better than a Wo Dao+ though? Those are the same group of characters than typically prefer that. Selena for one would probably want to still have the Wo Dao+ instead due to how low her attack is. Though putting it on Caeda...that would actually be pretty nice.Oh, and if Tobin introduces Firesweep Sword. I'm willing to bet Caeda, Fir, Hana, Lon'qu, Navarre, and Selena would be better users of it than him unless he has comparable attack and speed which kind of would make him Navarre. Lon'qu alone has 39 neutral speed. +Atk Lon'qu would have 32 attack and 39 speed. L&D3 for 37 attack and 44 speed -- the hilarity that you'd need to be Lon'qu to not get doubled by Lon'qu. Firesweep Lance+ has 15 MT, so Firesweep Sword+ should have 15 MT too. That's 52 attack and 44 speed. You could even use a +Atk, -Spd Lon'qu to get 52 attack and 41 speed which is basically a slightly stronger, but slightly slower Navarre.
Just go Fury+Renewal when you hopefully get him. Unless he's +Speed. Then Windsweep is okay with Fury or Spd +3. Really it all depends on his stats so just focus on getting him first.Course I don't have a Charlotte so I can't give him Wind Boost Darting Blow would work just as well but it isn't the same without the wind in there
I kind of meant to say that about blacksmiths too. Swords in general were more like sidearms rather than primary weapons which would have been things like bows, spears, and maybe maces or whatever blunt weapon. Early samurai in particular were known more for their mounted archery skills than swordsmanship. It does depend on geography, resources, and other circumstances, but it would probably be more efficient to arm a ton of grunts with a sticks with pointy ends than give them swords. Even training archers would probably be more efficient than giving them swords. By around the industrial age, not sure, but mass production and improvements on mining and stuff might have explained why swords were more common which even then, usually firearms first and then swords or bayonets.Sort of. Spears are just a long stick with a point tip, or a pointy thing tied on, and everyone would of had an axeexcept Gaiden doesn't believe in axes. You couldn't just make yourself a sword out of a knife, a tree branch, and a pointy rock. You needed a proper blacksmith and forge, a time intensive and skilled trade.
But the Villagers in Gaiden all had Mycen, a rather famous and successful knight to say the least, training them so it would make sense he'd have a good amount of weapons stored away or the means to acquire them, same thing with some amount of armor for Alm's friends (and of course Arm gets the full ensemble). That's where the biggest expense typically was, and actually one of the reasons knights had squires; putting on a full set of European armor for battle without help is actually pretty hard.
Meanwhile, the Tellius games where crossbows exist.Though what's really weird is how there's basically been no technological advancement in the 2000 years between Shadow Dragon / SoV and Awakening, thinking on this some more.
I mean unless Tobin shows up with something like 32 attack and 39 speed, he's probably not going to be as good as the others who are strong and fast or really fast where using Firesweep Sword would be pretty good. There's also the issue of him being an infantry. Caeda was already mentioned and Cain already has a Brave Sword, but with natures and cavalry buffs, he could be a pretty good Firesweep Sword cavalier. I'd rather wait for a speedier cavalier like Isadora or someone else, though.Would that work better than a Wo Dao+ though? Those are the same group of characters than typically prefer that. Selena for one would probably want to still have the Wo Dao+ instead due to how low her attack is. Though putting it on Caeda...that would actually be pretty nice.
If I wanted a Fury+Renewal Falchion user I could've done so on 3 different units already. I'm hoping I get a +Spd so I can use Windsweep and be a bit unique with himOkay I thought mobile Smashboards got a small graphic update and now that I look at it more it is a bit cleaner. ty admins.
And yes all Villagers in Gaiden/Echoes are locked to swords only. I feel like the only one not triggered by Tobin being another sword user
ALSO THIS BETTER BE THE THEME THAT PLAYS IN THE FINAL MAP:
Just go Fury+Renewal when you hopefully get him. Unless he's +Speed. Then Windsweep is okay with Fury or Spd +3. Really it all depends on his stats so just focus on getting him first.
I absolutely hate how he's a sword unit. I like swords the least already, especially thanks to Sm4sh, but it's just getting out of hand now. 5 Star Maskcina was OK because her neutral stats are nice and she comes with Falchion. So Tobin has to have some sort of exclusive weapon... Otherwise wtf is the point of him being the bonus unit? (inb4 OMG THERE'LL BE 2 DIFFERENT UNITS??? jkjk no they wouldn't be that generous jkjkjkjkjkjk)I like Tobin but...why is he a sword.

Grats on the awesome Distant Counter fodder. I was stupid and made a mega Hector with my Golden Week mass pulls. Then I found out mega characters are the worst unless they are 4 Star (so they can be promoted with less feathers). So... Ye. I am a sad puddi.I was able to do another summon today and ended up having my streak ruined by Hector. I'm a little disappointed that he's +hp/-atk, but I can't even be mad considerating how fortunate of a roll it is to get him at all. But now that my prayers for a good green unit have been answered and my summoning bonus reset, I'm unsure whether it would be wiser to roll the tempest focus in attempt to boost my scores or continue trying for the limited edition units.
Man, wish my Lukas was +Atk. Mine is +Res/-HP, which is meh. But even with neutral defense and attack he still kills almost everything with Ignis and Killer Lance+. He single handedly carried me through the last tempest trials, I love this guy!Why is this husbando's DEF so high (41 without Fortress wtf)? Are his muscles made of steel? Is he secretly the bara to end all bara under that armor? WHAT IS HAPPENING?

what is your opinion on the battle of antietamGoddammit gorls let's just talk about the great battles of the revolutionary war and not complete nonsense about orbs. DID ORBS DIE FOR THIS HERE COUNTRY?!? DID THEY FIGHT THE BRITISH?!?!?!
No, the answer is no. 'MURICA
That's the wrong war you commiewhat is your opinion on the battle of antietam
good, you passed the testThat's the wrong war you commie
Well, sort of. There's a limit to how long a weapon, or rather how heavy a weapon, can be if one is also carrying a shield or needs the reach when on horseback. The sword was better in single combat then the spear or polearm, or if you had to get up and personal after the battle broke formation on both sides.I kind of meant to say that about blacksmiths too. Swords in general were more like sidearms rather than primary weapons which would have been things like bows, spears, and maybe maces or whatever blunt weapon. Early samurai in particular were known more for their mounted archery skills than swordsmanship. It does depend on geography, resources, and other circumstances, but it would probably be more efficient to arm a ton of grunts with a sticks with pointy ends than give them swords.
One would think that, but no. The old quote and rule of thumb for the famous longbow was IIRC, "To train an archer, start with his grandfather". Remember that with no pulley system the worth of your bow was proportional to how far you could pull it. It took a lifetime under a fellow longbow master to gain the proper strength and skill to draw, aim, and fire over the types of distances they were known for.Even training archers would probably be more efficient than giving them swords.
Well, there is goes back to the "...and shield" comparison; swords are a deadly one handed weapon for when your principal weapon (normally the one with greater range) is no longer viable whether that be due to the breaking of the army's formation, the enemy getting past it's range, or (in the case of the Spartans for but one example) because they threw it at you. The Bayonet would be closer to what some shields were; contrary to what a lot of people believe, shields were both for protection and also deadly weapons in their own right and bludgeoning weapons, if they didn't also have spikes on them.By around the industrial age, not sure, but mass production and improvements on mining and stuff might have explained why swords were more common which even then, usually firearms first and then swords or bayonets.
Fun fact about crossbows; the Catholic Church tried to ban crossbows as anathema to God in 1139. Probably because, while not a gun and with far less ability than a long bow, it could let any peasant with a weeks worth of training gain enough mastery to kill a nobleman.Meanwhile, the Tellius games where crossbows exist.

I think this.good, you passed the test
what do you think about bunker hill
If it's for your flier team and Subaki is there with his SL+, I'd go for it. You already wanted to go Firesweep Lance+, and I'm pretty sure L&D3, FL+, +ATK nature, Quicken Pulse Sacred Seal w/ Moonbow is Cordelia's best offensive build and that's even without throwing Flier Buffs into the mix. Her function doesn't change (she's still a glass cannon, purely offense phase unit), so you don't really have to do anything differently when planning / positioning everyone else to get Cordelia out of harms way once her goes in to attack.I'm tempted to waste 20k feathers to promote a Hana to 5* in order to give my +atk -res Cordelia L&D3
I'll probably end up doing it tbh
rip now you will eventually spend 1.4k on this game and then actually be happy because you have all your husbandos/waifus so you wouldn't need a real husbando/waifu. So it'd actually be cheaper in the long run. :^)I just lost my F2P virginity.
sorry sistAHs.
Also I'm going on a road trip and wont be playing OW for like 2 weeks Lil Puddin oops-o
I know who's been naughty.Yay the Echoes crit quotes video is out
The only important one is at 4:52, you can skip the rest of the video.
If you absolutely want to use Cordelia, then sure, give it to her. I like Cordelia's stats and Cordelia in general, but her art is just so atrocious. Thankfully Bride Cordelia fixed that issue kinda-sorta.I'm tempted to waste 20k feathers to promote a Hana to 5* in order to give my +atk -res Cordelia L&D3

I already did it like an hour agorip now you will eventually spend 1.4k on this game and then actually be happy because you have all your husbandos/waifus so you wouldn't need a real husbando/waifu. So it'd actually be cheaper in the long run. :^)

I summoned on the Alm banner again and...got a second Celica
Game
She's not even in the goddamn focus this time
;-;
I don't think anyone I have would need Distant Defense so I might just merge her into my older Celica
Welp, 57 more orbs I can earn in the new modes, hopefully Alm can be squeezed out of them.
Edit: I'm kinda happy that I have a +1 +Attack Celica cause now she sits at an even 50 Attack, and with Ragnarok and L&D she can get up to 60. But I'm annoyed that now my small summoning streak is already broken
Though who knows, maybe two Celica's is all I need to attract Alm
*looks at -Atk Henry, my first non-Raigh and Sophia red mage that I just summoned*I summoned on the Alm banner again and...got a second Celica
I'm sorry gorl ;w; I would've given her to you if I could. If you're curious, she was +HP/-Def*looks at -Atk Henry, my first non-Raigh and Sophia red mage that I just summoned*
Game... why... +Def, -Spd 5* Lukas doesn't fix this... And +Atk, -Spd Beruka and +Atk, -Def Selena definitely doesn't fix this... high defense green mage, Veronica problem. And I don't want to kill off my only Henry, my baby crow boy! ;_;
I still haven't got Celica. She's literally the only unit I do not have yet. CRI CRI CRI CRIIIIIII jk I don't want that booty-thirsty heaux. I want more magic bois instead. Like Boey. He is adorable. Or maybe a bara mage like Bruno, aaaay?I summoned on the Alm banner again and...got a second Celica
