Post by Akasu »

I need to know which Flick Reaper skill is the most benificial in Redemption comparing these two in, 1.)Amount of Damage, 2.) Accuracy.

I advise that you set Heavenly Wheel to your skill trigger. It's better for two reasons.

-It consume's less SP than Reaper's Dance
-It has a more accurate impact on opponents.

With Reaper's Dance, most of the time, Haseo misses a few targets after the first swing, which is costly if
you plan on destroying the target quickly. Basically in my view, Reaper's Dance is only good for show.

Reaper's Dance is just a flashier Reaper's Touch that eventually becomes less costly than Heavenly Wheel. It's a little more powerful than Reaper's Touch, but not by much. Heavenly Wheel is Haseo's best overall Art, as it's the most damaging non-Lv.3 he has (around 10X normal strike damage; Reaper's Dance is just above 7.5X), and out of all Arts, only Ghost Falcon matches its potential (if P-ATK were the same for both and weapon weakness isn't in play for either, the overall damage wouldn't be very different if at all).

Of course, the big difference comes with Beast Awakening. Lv.3 Arts do not receive a speed boost from the Awakening save Dust Bullet, which hurts Haseo badly because no new movements can be initiated by enemies or allies during one of his Skill Trigger Arts, and you don't get access to the subscreen in an Awakening. You want his Arts to end ASAP. Lower power and speed make Reaper's Dance rather useless in that situation. The only advantage that all Lv.3's have over the "lower" level Arts is that they all begin by leaping toward the opponent, so all such Arts can make their initial strike even on the highest flying enemies. That doesn't save it from being crappy, but, y'know, it's there. Heavenly Wheel is the better choice. Unless you're vain.

As for Dust Bullet (if you care, since I did bring it up), it's more like a Lv.2.5 Art. Yes, higher weapon levels lower its after-Skill recharge time and SP cost, but it still acts like a lesser Art. This would be wonderful, considering how slow it is outside of Beast Awakening, if it weren't for the fact that the Awakening's faster execution time always causes two of the four hits to miss. This is why, if I ever play the game through again, I'm going to keep Kuhn on Tenacity forever the moment I acquire Tempest Blast.

Eventhough Reaper's Dance is the Lv.3 Arts, but I still like the Heavenly Wheel. The Heavenly Wheel can give more damage to enemies than Reaper's Dance. Yep, that's why.. :lol:
