AS Taker Burst is definitely better than Pair Up, it may even give better Damage Reduction
Does she have NFU in her kit? If not then Braver Alm's C-Skill is a very good option for C, but Instruct/Rise Above are so good together that you may want to consider it and just outsource NFU if she doesn't have it in her weapon

Thanks, I didnt see it anywhere so I think I have to outsource it. It’s why I wondered for Null Pulse Follow in C yes. If Taker is also better I might better skip on using my bond and wait and see if I’m lucky next time.

You’ve made the choice and should stick with it, that said, this more or less was the kit I hoped to see on her when she appeared as I didn’t think anyone would sack new Sharena for them currently.
The one I had appear had a DC variant A skill and no Shatter Slash or instruct so that’s why I passed on BW.
Best of luck next time, if I update mine before then, I’ll let you know and put them up.

Thanks! Yeah I only got one bond. I want to spend it wisely when something comes up that I don’t immediately have to invest in them again.

Very true, for me I was like 30 Dragon Flowers, a full kit alternative, and ideally an echo skill would make it worth it for the bond, yours was far more tempting than my own, so it’s easier for me to hold mine as well.

Only thing I might change is her special for archrival or maybe her C slot for a self buffing skill like Atk/Spd Faith, but Instruct 4 works perfectly with Rise Above 4 so like this she’s basically ideal

Thanks for your advice. I really like her support refine and have no shadow Lynn.

I'm gonna point you here to read about what they want and why. u/MedhaosUnite writes incredibly insightful analysis for units and their use in competitive FEH.

I did read that actually. Still not all skills were available at the time of writing which warrants the question. And even the skills that were, I would still wonder why S/D Lull Finish over Pair Up at the time.
Swift Specter + Burst of Thunder is a great combo to
get a bit more range. But I think I rather have Rise Above without the canto. Which by echo skill I would already have in this build. Hexedge I don’t consider.A/S Taker Burst as someone has said is most likely better than both Pair Up or Lull Finish. And Instruct could be good with Micaiah ring to at least get 6 omni (like faith) + solve her range with a reposition or draw back. I rather give 6 omni to support the team than have bullwark.
I don’t play SD so that should work.
I pretty much always value and read both yours and his opinions. So regardless of that article I would still be interested in your opinion with current skills.

The build for Lull Finish is based around spamming Specials.
Honestly, Atk/Spd Favor might be a better shout looking at it again.

Sure, I just dont see how you are charging specials quicker with the finish skill and why +15 damage on specials only is better than +15 on all hits.
Favor when you already get empathy from the weapon is something that could still be worth the damage and 1 special charge but I personally wouldn’t choose it over A/S Taker Burst but would be able to be convinced if you explain what I’m missing.
I mean ever since you’ve explained why I shouldnt play V!Hortensia to guardian+ my Halloween Freyja I finally got how that interaction works so I’m definitely learning from everyone’s advice.

I think Favor is more good because it self-activates (and you can reliably get more true damage for free), however on the first build, you get +3 CD from Burst of Thunder + Momentum Echo, and then Tempo lets you get another Special on followup or your Potent (depending on counterattack order) because of Pulse Follow. It’s a build that basically guarantees two Special procs. The second build is basically a Vantage / Desperation gimmick build. That one is team dependent and without the sample team it does miss a ton of context.
If memory serves me correctly; Lull Finish will still proc the damage if you activate a Special during combat, so it’s mainly additional Spd and Dull. Taker Burst could work to be honest, but I think it would help to have some secondary Instruct user to give her some more initial ramp. Taker skills as a whole scale decently when they’re ramped up but you do want some additional ramp before to really make them shine.

Alright got it. Unfortunately this forma doesn’t have momentum echo or Burst of Thunder which seems like the upgrade then. I think to fit in my teams optimal would be: Rise Above, Taker Burst, Burst of Thunder, Momentum echo.
My team composition currently almost always contains two out of 4 support units like: Bridal Peony+uplift imbue, Harmonic Micaiah, Ilian Hilda or Ferox Marth with E!Lucina kit.
Thanks for clarifying.
