Clearly that guy is specific to counter Ice missile and nothing else. Too bad, he looked cool. Maybe the futur of fire units will help him like joker got help from Leela and dark fina?
What I find interesting is this unit would have been at least a thought for fire global if it was even 3 months earlier since you'd only need one more fire evade or lance card to make his kit work somewhat well with fire ildrya. I'm starting to get annoyed that fire hasn't had a straight nuke added to the elm yet where as light has 2 dark has basically it's entire core in general pool and water has astoria as a pvp anchor. I feel like fires the new pay to play guild battle mono elm. One of two things need to happen for fire, A a deul element or job based card like dark odin that allow it to play well with off elm tanks/bruisers like snow or jume or someone that can capitalize on the tempo that some of these units can provide. I'd realistically want both to come before this in global which is a bit on the compuim side. It feels bad to say skip the cool designs if you're already established.
i guess my thoughts are that he still looks like a really solid fire unit with all the buff removals he has in his kit, and he does still have courage and minor chaining, but the VC support comes into question as usual, and it feels like his evasion gimmick is just wasted at this point, so might aswell run him without that if one gets him
Hear me out… but what if it's simply a silent "P", and his name is just prounounced as "Sorrow"? But yeah… unless Fire course corrects its deficiency of VC support, I can't justify going after him despite the potential I see in him.
To be fair, the free companion unit is built a certain way and without runes. Him without allies is being measured against a 5-unit coordinated (and probably very well-runed) team. That's 5 units sharing 10 VCs, 5 Master Abilities, and being that close gives extra Luck and Dex.
But yeah, it's not looking good for him right now and a huge part of that being Fire VCs being more inclined for magic.
I'd keep an open mind for him. Things can change. Elena, for example, was a dodge unit that couldn't wear Sage's Hat, the only accessible evasive gear back then. She was reliable only for those who had a +5 Ribbon at the time of her release, but even then she wasn't all that. BUT after some time, well, GL players would know. I doubt he'd be Elena-level dominant but I can see him having a better place in PvP.
23:08 when doing tests like this on friend units, I'd recommend that you do a split element team of (in this case) 3 water units and 2 other fire units, all with your preferred PvP setup. This way we can get an accurate depiction of what 2 teams would look like going head-to-head in the arena.

It's psaro. Pulled for him because love him
And the pink TP if it's not a bug it might be the tension when it goes up to 100

He probably doesnt need an exclusive VC because all his bonuses seem to be on his weapon

No more Robocop theme music. Noice!
Seriously don’t like the art direction this collab is going. It feels lazy and unfitting, inconsistent with the game. I don’t want to support this.

I like they way he looks and feel like I’d want him just because

I'll pull him if he comes up in Global. An added power for my depleted fire team.
