Thread: HBC's FKG 6* Tier List

2. Skill: 5.4x with 26% lv.1 and 34% top. Now it becomes standard for single target attack. It's a high standard however and it will get the job, killing a boss especially the pierce-weak one, done without problem. It also goes well with Ume's high atk as well. However I'll deduced point a bit with lv.5 not has skill act chance at 36% like other girl with 26% skill act at lv.1. 4 rainbow skillblooms are rare and the payback is a little too low.
Grading: A-

Like I said on my vote, wikia seems wrong about Ume skill act. It should be 38% at lvl 5 since Monday.
According to Wutan translation of it in chatchit:

【Target character】
· ★ 6 Ukitsuriboku (Competition), Ume, Sakura, Daisy (Halloween)
· ★ 5 Ifeon, Kakara, Tachibana, Yamayuri, Jorgao
· ★ 3 Moth orchid
※ ★ 3, ★ 5 characters will be battle skill adjustment after sublimation to ★ 6.

【Change before】
Deal 5.2 times damage to an enemy unit
Skill Lv.1 Activation rate: 26%
Skill Lv.5 Activation rate: 36%

【After change】
Deal 5.4 times damage to an enemy unit
Skill Lv.1 Activation rate: 28%
Skill Lv.5 Activation rate: 38%

It will not change anything vote wise but it's still better girl wise (with that she got almost 5% skill activation more with her skill act ability).

Fixed, pretty much copy-paste from wutan at this rate then.

In the future i will link the Girl from the Wikia page and the himeuta Skill buff thread.

On the wiki they fixed Skill Damage but not the Activation Rate. That's basically the case for all recently buffed Rainbows.

Alright. Next girl up is Japanese WHY WON'T YOU LOOK AT ME Apricot.... *Ahem!* My apologies for that outburst.

Analysis
The initial look at her stats is not too bad at all. Her HP is somewhat disappointing compared to the other girls we've covered so far. But holy crap, that ATK stat is something to behold! Also her defense is also pretty good to help even things out with her lower HP. So overall, I would say her stats are very good. She doesn't fall into the perilous glass canon category.

Now for skills and abilities. While not having the really good quality of say something like life steal, she has the quality of hitting them so damn hard! 5.4x damage to a single enemy? With a minimum 28% activation rate? Just call her a tomahawk missile and be done with it. Pretty damn good. What is not so hot is her abilities. Standard increase attack. She has increase skill activation along with boosting both Crit rate and damage for her team which is really good! But the buzzkill in all of this is another rainbow suffering with a shit light gauge ability yet again. Helpful for beginners, yes. But practically useless as you get deeper into FKG.


She's a really good character to have and certainly has the points to be argued in her favor. But the lower HP and one shit ability holds her back from achieving broken potential. Final grade: A Tier

Waifu Judgment
I'll give Japanese Apricot one thing for sure. She definitely is a pretty woman. But the girl is a wood board. She is straight up and down in my view. No boobs. No ass. NO CURVES! I want some MEAT on my woman. And if there is one thing anime from Japan has taught me, never trust anyone with shifty eyes. Especially if they hardly ever open them! LOOK AT ME DAMMIT!

Final Waifu Grade: C Tier

Ok the Tier List Discussion for Mei has officialy ended.

She will end up in A-Tier. Congratulations.

Next Girl:

http://flowerknight.wikia.com/wiki/Sakura
Deadline: 20.06.18

Ok my thoughts about Sakura:

Stats:

She has the exact same stats as Mei with one exception. Speed. She is slow like a slug. 335 Speed is very slow. For some folks that might not be a problem however in my opinion her slow speed forces you to counterbalance her speed with another faster unit if you want balanced speed among your 4 teams. Therefore it could limit Team Building. I am sorry guys if i sound harsh but her low Speed is a big minus for me.
Normally i would give her an A here (same as Mei) but due to her low Speed i will give her B+ in that category.

Grading: B+

Skill Activation Chance and Skill Damage:
Same as Mei. Therefore she also gets an A here.

Grading: A

Abilities:

Increases Attack for party members by 22%. A little bit above Average. Solid, not amazing.
Increases Skill Activation Rate for party members up to 1.2x based on each member's affection. Always good to see this Ability. Nothing special anymore but good.
In a Boss fight, increases Attack for party members by 35%. Really Really good for Boss Battles on harder maps. However this Skill becomes absolutely useless for trash packs. Therefore it has a condition not like Mei's Crit Damage which works for all types of enemies. Boss or minion.
Increases Damage for party members against Bosses by 12%. Same as the Ability before. Really Nice for bosses. For Minions it's useless. 12% is a bit low however. For such a specialized Ability i would like to see a 20 % or even 25% Buff considering she only has 4 Abilities.

I don't know how i should feel about this section. She only has 4 Abilities. Two of them are solid but nothing special. The other two could be really really good or absolutely useless. Also 12 % Damage is a little bit low for my taste cause like i said if you have specialized Abilities you want them to be big in numbers.

Grading: I will give her B here.

Conclusion:

Sakura is a nice boss killer unit. However she is very slow and that could force specific Team Building. She is a specialized Unit which either performs excellent against bosses or mediocre against trash packs. Mei is a little bit better in my opinion. I just prefer that my Knights have Abilities which are usefull in almost all situations. Since i gave Mei an A- i will give Sakura a nice Solid B+. Not a must have but nice to have.

Final Verdict: B+

Paper Only stamp
Ara ara~ Ara ara~ Ara ara~ ARA ARA~
Hum. Sorry. Just a little troma.

Stats:
HP: a bit lower than the average but, that's not why you would use her.
ATK: She is on the top of the list. And that's the most important for her.
DEF: It's not an important stat for her but it's still nice.

I guess we could say she is very solid in this part. Note shat she has exactly the same stats than Ume Apricot.


Skill
38% of 5.4x damages. That's very good. If you want more details, see my coment on Japanese Ume. Nothing much to say. That's the same thing.
Saku~ara~ara appreas as a powerful boss killer like her best Ume friend.

Abilities
And... that's it. Let the diamond shines brighter than the sun.

+22% ATK for all
Not the best ablity but a decent ATK buff. Something more selfish would be better but... I'll not complain about that.

x1.2 Skill activation
Once again, not the best ability of this kind but it's still solid and welcome for this kind of girl.

+35% ATK against bosses
That's why Sakura is good for boss battles. She will buff the whole team by +57% ATK just by herself. Add other girls ATK buff and it can be insane quickly with the right setup.

+12% Damages against bosses
And even more damages. Damage buff is even better since it will buff final damages, just before thay are applied (if I understand well). That means,it will boost raw+skill+crit+weak damages and make her ATK buff event better.
Once again, if you put her in the right team with a lot of damages against bosses buff, you can erase poor giant pests from this world with a pink and flowery magic beam.

Conclusion
She can deals heavy amount of damages against bosses and help her teams mate to do the same. If you use her with similar girls, you can blow every single boss in one or two turns. Andshe can act as a good finisher on boss with minions.
Her stats are high, her skill is one of the best in term of damages and all her abilities are made to increase her damages even more.She is clreay a must have.

Final verdict:
A Tier. Just A Tier for her. She can't really be S Tier, once again due to all the super good girls we have in it (espacially with the promoted girls and the power creep). And if she could reach this tier with the right team, she can't deserve it by herself. Even if she is strong and powerful and a solid ally, she is just a glass canon here to bring death among pests. she can't carry a battleor more without enough help to blow everything on her path in one single shot.


Sorry if Sakura rating is a bit rushed, I'm tied today but I don't want to leave the vote now and forgot about it later.

Hmm... Sakura? That Ara Ara Nee-san type? Not owned, again. *paper only*

Sakura must be one of the easiest to talk about for me because she and Ume almost the same exact copy aside from abilities and speed. She was also one of the very popular girl back then in Nutaku, like for every 3 helpers one must have her. Not so much in DMM but she still there especially when new broken stage introduced. Let's go with it.

1. Raw stat: Just copy-paste what I said about Ume and there you go. Oh, but her speed can be a hindrance when trying to form specific team in specific stage. So a little lower score than her best friend.
Grading: B+

2. Skill: Now just copy-paste with slight difference, Sakura kills magic-weak pests.
Grading: A

3. Abilities: The first two are nothing to talk much. Solid but not impressive.
-Increase 35% atk when facing boss is great however, as the only problem you will face in this game is boss. I mean, Kodaibana stages are the only place where fodder pests can hit you like 5 trucks run over but other than that? They really are just fodder. This skill makes your party go with 57% atk. Very high value for party buff that few girls can surpass this even with power creep nature recently.

-Increase damage when facing boss by 12%. It has low percentage considered there are 'Increase damage for party when attacked by 35%' or 'Increase damage from skill by 18%' But I suspected that all 3 are calculated separately rather than just flat addition. How is it calculated? No one knows or at least we just not really that devoted into this game like some players out there. Anyway considered that this skill boost 15% top, 12% is far from bad and will help Sakura punishes any boss especially magic-weak one.
Grading: A

Final verdict: Just like Ume, she got A. While her abilities set is not as universally useful like Ume's crit set(which got buff yet again), there are too few normal pests that gonna give you trouble. And just like Saboten, she need supporter or at least, those with damage boost to sync with her high atk boost. She's a great unit as boss killer and will does her job splendidly.

Extra: Sakura, when compared to Ume, is much more light-hearted. She is the famous 'ara ara maa maa' type Onee-san who is like super human that can does everything perfectly on first try and will either spoil you rotten or has fun teasing you endlessly, only to turn out that she too has zero experience in romance. Oh what an irony. This type of character not really clicked with me due to I being the youngest in my family. My older cousins, while friendly and I do love them, are not really reliable unlike what you see in manga/anime. So you can say it's the delusional case like who has younger sister IRL won't find imouto trope charming... like at all.
Her attack animation is epic though, it's like Sora's warp snipe from KH2. Move quicker than eye can see and fire bullets vs. Teleport before enemy's bullet and kick it back to them.

The Tier List Discussion about Sakura has ended.

Not many of us have participated this time. Only 3 votes.

A-Tier it is. I hope there will be more participants in the next round.

Next Girl:

Deadline: 23.06.18

I have Choco Lily on my DMM Account as well as my Nutaku Account. What do i think about this Shinigami???
Lets find out.

Stats:
Her HP are horrible. 18076 is really low for a Rainbow. Her HP is even lower than Cattleya's HP. Her Attack Stat is amazing, Her Defense is average.
Considering her HP is even lower than Cattleyas i don't think that her high Atk. Stat and mediocre defense can quite compensate that. I'll give C-Tier here.

Skill Activation and Skill Damage:

She deals x2,9 and has a Skill Activation of 34 % on Skill Level 5 (24 % on Skill Level 1). Since a lot of girls got Skill Act. and Skill Damage Buffs i think the Skill Damage/Skill Act. Combination she shares with other Rainbows is the weakest one. Other Sweeper Rainbows have x2,8 Multiplier and 37 % Skill Activation on Level 5 (27 % on Skill Level 1). I personally prefer more Skill Act. compared to a little bit more Skill Damage (it's only x0,1 anyway).

Grading:
B-

Abilities:

Increases Attack for party members by 20%. Average Atk Buff for the group. Solid, nothing special.

Increases Attack for oneself by 16% each time a party member uses a Skill (Up to 96%).
On paper this Ability looks amazing. However there is a problem with it . Damage is calculated at the start of each round. That basically means even if all other Girls in her Squad activate their Skills Choco Lily won't benefit from her improved attack until the next turn. On harder maps that could be a problem considering her paper thin HP. Often times highly offensive Crit Girls die rather quickly and she could die before she even benefits from her boosts. For that reason i would pair her with a girl like Wolf Berry cause she can give Choco Lily much needed protection (Shield).

Increases Critical Activation Rate for party members by 30%. Nice Critical Hit Buff. It's 10 % more Critical Activation than average.

Increases Skill Activation Rate for party members up to 1.2x based on each member's affection. Solid Buff. Always nice to see it. Fairly Standard.

In a Boss fight, increases Attack for party members by 30%. She got buffed recently. Her newest Ability. And a good one. Really helpfull on harder maps.

Grading:
This section is good, not amazing though. B

Team Building:
The problem is that you want your first turn squad to gather as much of an atk buff for Choco Lily for turn 2 as possible but since Lily can't use her buffed Atk until turn 2 the first turn girl in her Squad becomes weaker (it's not the job of a first turn squad to wait for the second turn to dish out damage like Choco Lily does). For First Turn Squads there are better Damage Dealers out there who doesn't have to wait until turn 2 to dish out good damage. Someone could argue that Choco Lily is better suited for Universal Skill Act. Teams. Universal Skill Act. Teams have more Skill Act. on all other turns but turn 1. Problem here is that Universal Skill Act. Teams often times can't gather the Atk. Boost for Choco Lily fast enough. Like i said for Crit Teams i would highly advise to pair her with someone like Wolf Berry who has the Shield Ability.

Grading: Building a Team around Choco Lily isn't easy. It's not impossible but the setups where she really shines are limited.
C-Tier

Conclusion:
Choco Lily is a Glass Canon with very low HP. She needs a little bit of preperation time before she can shine. I would highly advise to pair her with someone like Wolf Berry to give her a little bit of Protection. Not a staple for Crit Teams but good in the right team. She can dish out good Damage and in the right setup she will serve you well. Because her Abilities are so contradicting her Teambuilding options are quite limited. Therefore she is one of the weaker B-Tiers for me. Still a B-Tier though.

Final Verdict: B-
