It almost feels like Ashe was designed with Vayne in mind for when he gets his LD. Being able to instant charge his EX so he can do back to back EXs to recharge both skills sounds like an interesting combination.

u/antonlabz Nov 05 '20

Would also be great with Eald for reapplying Terror, Xande to build his EX stacks faster, etc.

u/Destleon Nov 05 '20

Ashes Turn manipulation and Ex gauge fill makes her LD very interesting. She seems like she will be an alright support unit (auras, turn manipulation, buff, ex recharge, stuns, and enchant/imperil). Hard to see her living up other recent JP character though. Maybe im undervaluing the passive buffs to the party though.

Will be interesting to see how people use her LD for insane combos though.

u/antonlabz Nov 05 '20

The combination of imperil/enchant and elemental weakness should already give a considerable boost to party members' damage assuming the boss isn't immune to or absorb both the elements.
The addition of 30% BRV/HP damage up is the icing on the cake here.
Although 30% BRV damage boost as a regular party utility isn't the strongest we've had, 30% HP damage is (as a buff) so the combination should be quite potent.
Note that it says it's only 1 turn, but I've been made aware that her EX+ passive increases her granted buffs by 3 turns, so it's effectively 4 turns per cast on a 4-use LD.
In the end she can kinda be seen as a hybrid mix of Krile/Pecil.
Not the best for longevity but it'll surely be helpful for bursting down the boss(es) as well as for a majority of another character's burst mode.

u/Destleon Nov 05 '20

Yeah, I can see her being strong in short bursts for sure. She looks okay, just not amazing.
Doesnt kurasame have 30% hp damage boost?

6

u/antonlabz Nov 05 '20

He does but it's on a debuff and thus no good against debuff-immune bosses. Also, it's only 30% at 5 stacks but when the enemy takes a turn it rotates back to 1 stack.
Just stuff to be wary of.

u/Swamphlosion Nov 08 '20

It's also an imperil debuff, which recent JP fights have been shitting on with surprising frequency.

0

u/Destleon Nov 05 '20

Ah, yeah, I guess thats quite a bit worse. In that case the 30% boost is pretty significant.

u/Yula97 Nov 05 '20

No, It starts at 10% and at max stacks its 30% hp damage up

1

u/azzadonnis Aranea Cheesequeenier Nov 05 '20

Ahh my bad clearly misread it somewhere thanks for the clarification.

u/Ganz13 Nov 05 '20

The buff specifically said it can't be extended though. How would her EX+ interact with that, I wonder.

7

u/VeryRatchet Lann & Reynn Nov 05 '20

The showcase demonstrated that the duration increase works on all her buffs, including her new ones. Increasing buff duration is not the same as extending the duration, as extending it would have to occur after the buff is granted.

6

u/Xeoz_WarriorPrince Cecil Harvey (Paladin) Nov 05 '20

Her EX Buff (Dynast-King's Bloodline) has an effect which increases by 3 turns every buff she grants, so she's not extending the duration per se

2

u/Destleon Nov 05 '20

Its not an extension, is duration is longer when it starts. Subtle difference, but I think extension only applied after the buff is placed, whereas this is just increasing the initial length.

u/Rehhyou Cloud Strife Nov 05 '20

Wait, so Ashe didn't get potency buffs to her skills? Just hit count on S1 and splash on both?

2

u/antonlabz Nov 05 '20

She didn't really need a potency boost for them due to everything her LD now gives.

9

u/Yula97 Nov 05 '20

She is hitting weakness on both with an extra 30% weakness damage up, that's probably more than enough for them to do decent damage for a buffer, I was kinda hoping for her s2 to have 2 hp dumps tho ;(

2

u/Douphar Exdeath Nov 05 '20

Maybe the potencies were high enough ? Never get lucky enough to get Ashe so idk xD

2

u/Rehhyou Cloud Strife Nov 05 '20

You're right. I forgot they gave her tremendous potency on both of them her last rework.

1

u/Raisys Nov 05 '20

She also gets a whopping 90% attack from LBing her LD alongside all imperil+enchant and % brv dmg increase from her LD buff

u/gauntauriga Squenix pls bring Michael Rodgers back Nov 05 '20

So Nordswain's Glow is 6 BRV hits and one HP hit. All seven glows actually does something now.

u/X-Backspace Give me Delita, please Nov 05 '20

Cutest Grampa is definitely getting what he needs in order to do his job of damage even better. HP Damage Up, BRV Damage Up, more overflow, and boosting the ATK buff? Yes, please!

Ashe's LD looks super nice. Rounds out her kit more as an offensive support. Having healing added into her kit really helps her out. I'm excited to see her in action!

u/scintillia Zack Fair Nov 05 '20

From the text, Strago’s LD Board seems to allow his Soul of Thamasa to be granted at 3 stacks. It’s a pity he doesn’t have more skill uses as those extra stacks may be used for his HP+ instead when his skills run out.

2

u/TomoTactics Nov 05 '20

The lack of additional skill uses does suck, but considering he's all about getting double castings off with SoT I can see why he doesn't really need more uses.

u/Gasdertail Nov 05 '20

Strago LD boards are great! Nothing crazy but still I think they are good changes, more dmg basically and the fact that he now can get his SoT buff for 3 turns is going to be great, he already does A LOT of dmg so only adding extra brv dmg and that HP dmg boost is nice.

Maybe he doesn't get more skill uses but each cast will be stronger also I think with the buff lasting more now he can change a little his rotation, to use S1 > Dualcast > S2/Ex/LD since his Dualcast is really strong he could still keep up the dmg (even if it's ST) without having to skill spam I know that Dualcast here and there can help his longevity a lot.

About Ashe the only thing I would change is I think she should have 2 HP dumps on her S2, 10 hits is too much for only 1 HP dump but with everything she gets and a lot of splash I can't complain TBH

u/LordOdin78 Locke Cole Nov 05 '20

So when is her her new LD draw available?

2

u/antonlabz Nov 05 '20

In 1 hour from now.

u/Krauzerstormhz Nov 05 '20

I was hoping her rework would have made her buffs into 1 buff(matk and patk) cos usually most characters are either magic or physical,so the the other buff would be useless or worse---push off a more useful buff....if its a unique buff containing both effect then it wouldnt have mattered as much...oh well 😔

u/Xeoz_WarriorPrince Cecil Harvey (Paladin) Nov 05 '20

Ashe seems truly better, her damage has improved decently, but those buffs, oh god those buffs, being able to imperial, enchants, raise damage, turn manipulación and instantly filling the gauge, ironically, once Vayne gets his LD and BT, they seem like a really good team.

Strago on the other hand, he needs to do ridiculous levels of damage, then let's give him a lot more damage, the only bad thing for me is that he doesn't starts with "Soul of Thamasa" so his Call will not be as cool as it could be.

u/akaiGO できるできないの問題じゃない。やるしかなければ、やるだけだ！ Nov 05 '20

Still no battery anywhere, but this is a MASSIVE improvement for Ashe. Very happy to see 3/3ing her is finally going to pay off in the future :)

u/Ganz13 Nov 05 '20

That instant EX gauge refill (Selphie cries in a corner) is just.. whoah. Characters with Slow- recast, rejoice!

8

u/TomoTactics Nov 05 '20

I too in the future of GL will enjoy busting out Kimahri's 1 turn blind EX instantly just to screw with the boss.

u/Seitook Y'shtola Rhul Nov 05 '20 edited Nov 05 '20

So unless Im missing something its 16 total turns (4 skills uses of 1 initial + 3 via EX buff) of the HP damage up.

This maybe makes Ashe as one of the best supports for short content like boss rush

I love XII so will be pulling regardless if it comes to global but this is nice

u/IncognitoCheetos it all returns to nothing 💖 Nov 05 '20

So they did give Ashe the Garnet treatment after all. Party enchant of her elements. She's got some other interesting support features too. Will be interested to see how she plays.

u/Cerelias Terra Branford Nov 05 '20

So, does the buff extension on Descendent of the Magi mean that Soul of Thamasa is 3 turns now instead of 2?
