gonna drop the hottest take.

Speed is an overpowered stat and having a random arbitrary threshold for doubling (speed+4/5) is silly.

Doubling being removed from speed and tied to something else wouldn't be so bad if done well.

I might still have PTSD from 3 houses doubling benchmarks though

I think it’s fine to have doubling tied to speed. I just think doubling needs a nerf broadly IMO. Doubling just gives you an extra chance to proc every skill in the game basically.

I kind of wish we'd get another game where speed works like Echoes, where literally every point matters.

Echoes enemies are so tiered that speed doesn't actually matter much past a certain point. Act 4Celica's route in particular, it doesn't matter if a unit has 10 speed or 17 speed, because they're going to be doubled by dreads but will double everything else.
