Talk:Occult Reaper Ciardha/@comment-26140304-20171227224226

Not much of a colo metagame changer going for him; though, he as a hit count buffer really does spice things up a bit. Not only that, he's also a fantastic nuker too, quite potentially more compared to even Blaze. Let's see what we have.


 * Both Blaze and Ciardha are movers, so they both can perfect spark between two dupe copies.
 * In comparison, Ciardha's BB mods are better especially considering his ST has access to HP scaling, unlike Blaze's which doesn't. Ciardha will hit Atk cap a lot easier than Blaze will.

Now there are some other arguments that may complicate things a bit more.


 * Despite Ciardha having a spark passive available as an SP option, Blaze has an EWD passive that a lot less common compared to spark. Spark is easily gated by a soft cap that the more you boost it, the less effective it becomes.
 * Ciardha attacks too damn fast with a move speed of 1, meaning he'll have to be placed at the top-right and bottom-left positions to grant enough time to get buffs from Arthur and Natalame. This mostly is an issue in FH.

Overall, I really like this guy. As a nuker, you can play two modes with him even in hard content. There are times when I wish Karna Masta wasn't so goddamn slow with his teleporting delay. Otherwise, Karna Masta would've given Ciardha a huge ass damage booster on the first turn.
