Re: Aegis Thousand Year War - DMM Online Game
My 5 cents to the Kaguya discussion. My only princesses are Claudia and Themis, so I don't know about the wonders of a black o gatcha plat princess but I think the higher the rarity and thus higher base stats, the more useful are this niche skills.
We know sapphire units are lame before aw but once u have raised her to about 600 attack, I think a short 3x skill is more useful that a long, quicker but weaker one. Having 1.5x attack won't let u kill something that u couldn't without using the skill 90% of the time, but a burst of 3x can wipe out that only Maou shadow or aura lich king.
The long wt is worrisome but at 16 cost shouldn't be a problem and actually, for 16 cost I would use her as a normal duelist in almost any map
Oh, and Kaguya an Anya can't be compared. One is 16 cost 1 block and the other 35 cost 2 block. Anya is more of a HA princess, really cool on her own but does not replace a normal duel princess.
Arguable, 1.5x attack doesn't mean it lasts the same length time, which is 15 seconds. 1.5x attacks normally last about 30-40 seconds.
Kaguya estimated damage output is about 2300-2400 with skill activated (I don't have her, so I don't have exact damage figures). but that only lasts for 15 seconds. B princess can do 1300 also with skill activated, and she lasts for 40 seconds. In short, both princess would end up doing the same job done. It just means Kaguya would kill faster in 15 seconds opposed to 30 seconds. (For the mathematically challenged, if you do 2400 damage for 15 seconds, it means you need to do 1200 damage for 30 seconds to do the same amount of damage)
If you are going to argue that 15 seconds is crucial, I have no idea why would that make a difference. If you can make Kaguya survive 15 seconds, then you can make a black princess survive 30 seconds. Infact black princess has better base stats (Ignoring damage) so they should live better.
Also B princess would be still a greater choice because her skill regen is much quicker so you can spam it for more fun, Kaguya including skill charge up, skill duration, and skill cooldown would end up with 40 + 15 + 70 = 125 seconds for the next round. In short, it's harder to use Kaguya more than once, because the 2nd time to use her for boss might miss the cooldown.
Don't get me wrong, the Sapphire princess is great, but if only she followed Tamamo's example with only 10 second start up and 20 second recharge for her skill, it would've been even better. The skill duration is limiting her awesomeness.
And also B princess can be used as a gank. Can't do that with kaguya because her skill takes far too long to charge up.
My expectation for this sapphire princess is actually disappointed, I can only place her a good Platinum (But no where near black) princess replacement. Tamamo is a Monk which has sub black ability (Way stronger than a platinum, but not quite a black unit). If you compare the two Sapphires, I had too high an expectation with Kaguya.
