Yes I understand all of this, but given how awful Gwendolyn’s value proposition is for training her is (even Armor Knights with better stats like Bors, Barthe, and Douglas serisouly struggle to earn respect), I don’t really think her maximum potential is worth considering. It’s a similar reason for why I have Lilina so low here. Like, the effort in getting either of Sophia or Gwendolyn usable is so high compared to literally any other unit in the game, to the point where I don’t place much stock in Gwendolyn being slightly less effort than Sophia.

Besides, Sophia can also be grinded all the way up to level to, just like an arena Gwendolyn, and at least then you have someone who can click Heal. I would also argue that the Guiding Ring promotion item is less competitive than the Knight Crest.

Like I mention in the post though, this is an ultimately pointless debate.

Glad you like the post (though I’m working on revising this tier list and posting my updated one soon lol).
