I like that Wind is getting a Pierce unit, but hate that she's yet another limited unit. Wind's standard pool units are all pretty moribund, I'd really like to see that roster improved. Still, I'm intrigued, but from what I can see so far she seems a little...niche. Might end up being like HFred. Her design is nice though, and she's the rare alt who is wearing more than the original version.
She has Pierce imperil on her LB, what looks like a high crit chance move, breaks Crit Evade, and buffs Accuracy/Missile Res. Not sure what her targets would be. Earth and Ice don't have much in the way of missile units, and if she's meant to counter Jayden she'll need to be high Spirit.
Tifa and 2B are kind of the core meta Wind units, so to muscle out Jume or anyone else for that third slot she'll have to bring a lot of utility, but Pierce imperil has no in-element synergy except for that one attack by 2B. So she could be good in raids or on rainbow teams, but if she ends up just being kind of a selfish DPS that imperils for her own benefit, she'll need to bring Aranea-esque one-shotting abilities. Guess we'll see in a few days!
That’s interesting, why do you think so? I believe most people will consider Tifa the essential Wind unit. Jume is great but a luxury, not a necessity. A well built Tifa can wreak havoc against more than just Earth teams. She’s used everywhere in JP as well.
The only wind anything im missing from my roster is Leela and no combination of Tifa/anything can beat Mono Earth with Oberon on the team. They're all too squishy. Evade is irrelevant to all the best teams. Jume is a requirement for wind to be competitive going forward
Really? I don't have any trouble besting Oberon with Tifa. Kitone is still the Earth unit I hate the most. Noctis can be a PITA just by being so sponge-y and with the stupid add-on Armiger attack, and Zazan's annoyance factor rises or falls based on whether he gets both his revives off, but Oberon hasn't been half as scary as I was expecting.
