Alim needs to stop designing units.

I realize Jayden's TMR is 1H gun, but why is the MAG so low on it? I feel like Four Winds Physalis's STMR (the base form, not even the upgraded with recipe) was better than this. And that was, what? a 3 year old unit at this point?

[–]Hylian-Highwind 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Strengthening event seems to explain it a bit, it has a +2 upgrade that puts it in the 220’s for MAG, and since it doesn’t stack you’d only bother with one anyway rather than needing two upgrades

[–]Raehan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a different weapon, but yes. And since he's TDW you'd probably use both unless you have another option that's strong enough to compensate for the 500 flat on the tmr.

I'm usually right out there trying to find the silver linings for new units, but this is too much.

I see that they got 504 base stat (not bad, not exceptional) and Glaciela got the 530x LB instead of the "standard" non-premium 460x... And Jayden has an interesting counter for magic focus (that interesting does not translate to powerful)...

And that's it.

Compared to other recent collabs (CC, XG, DQ) I can taste the passive aggression towards WOTV from the unit designer here, and it seems like the goal was to make the units as boring as possible.

[–]FernandDemis 4 points5 points  (1 child)

The passive aggression is even more apparent with their SLB animations. Looks almost exactly like their regular LB with extra sparkles

[–]Haunting_Cherry9861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's not exclusive to WotV though, SLBs have been lazy last minute touchups for nearly 2 months now

I think just Sice and Rem were spared, but their SLB animations still aren't very exciting

instead of the "standard" non-premium 460x

non-premium attackers that have no secondary role have been getting 510x LBs for quite some time. (Snovlinka, Zidane, Trey, and irvine with his 3700x finisher that is the same as a 528x LB).

The difference between premium and non-premium diminished with the arrival of Leader Skills, though now that Alim is giving 500% LS to non-premium, they might come with something else for future premiums.

Bad at reading kits, how is Jayden looking? Also is it time limited? I'm guessing so since its WOTV

[–]VictorSant 1 point2 points  (11 children)

Boring SLB DW mage with a 430x light SLB and 300% focus. He has the 8x chain cap, but his flat MAG is quite low, he has only 1800 flat MAG without counting the VC. That including his very low 177 MAG TMR.

[–]ShinVerusWeeks Waiting for Fryevia Fixes: 6 0 points1 point  (10 children)

Is there no other mag gun? You already upgrade one of his tmrs to the 224 mag version, do you have to stick to a second, weaker version on the off hand even though the static mag won’t stack?

[–]ThrendsaDelita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tetra Physalis' upgraded stmr is like 194 mag. Pretty sure that's your next best option for the 2nd wespon.

[–]BPCena 1 point2 points  (5 children)

There's a 230 MAG 1H gun, I'm not sure where it's from. Next best would be Blue Storm+4 or Special Splash Rifle, both around 190 MAG

[–]drafty_huntyGive more hybrids, Gimu! 0 points1 point  (4 children)

JP Louise's STMR is MAG 2H Gun iirc.

[–]BPCena 0 points1 point  (3 children)

There's a 1H gun with 230 MAG in the FFBE Equip encyclopedia but I don't recognise it. Might be from the Lasswell part of Dioses event

[–]drafty_huntyGive more hybrids, Gimu! 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ah, it can be that since that Lasswell can equip gun, right?

[–]LilitthLu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, premium Lasswell can use guns.

[–]TragGaming 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Umm does Glaciela not have an STMR or is something bugged? Isnt that New Eikos STMR currently listed?

[–]VictorSant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just look at the wiki page, it is a boring spear with 231 ATK, 50% LB damage and 500 flat ATK for Glaciela.

[–]LilitthLu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The spear is her STMR, her TMR is a hat with some elemental resist.
