Thread: HBC's FKG 6* Tier List

Well looks it was good i let the discussion stay open for a little longer this time. We have 4 votes now:
2x B-Tier
2x C-Tier

If you guys don't mind i will vote the last this time and close the discussion afterwards.

I have Iono myself. I used her for a while in my Evade Team until i decided not using an Evade Team anymore. It's just not my playstyle. So what do i think about Iono?

Stats:

HP:20034
Good.

Atk:7798
Mediocre

Defense: 3152
Not in Top 30. Still Very good.

Grading: Not amazing but still good and dandy. B-Tier

Skill Damage Type and Skill Activation Chance:
Deals 2.8x damage to all enemies 27% (Lv1) → 37% (Lv5)

Grading: Standard for so many AOE Girls. Nothing special still good. B-Tier

Abilities:

Increases Attack for party members by 18%.
Below Average. There are even 5* which are able to buff for 18%. That's a No NO. In my opinion a 6* should always excel better in all areas compared to 5*. Not a good start.

Increases Skill Activation Rate for party members up to 1.2x based on each member's affection.
Good. Nothing special though.

Increases Damage of Skills for party members by 10%.
Again below average. For the Skilldamage Archetype there are girls which are much better suited like: Maple, Anemone (Radiant Princess), Loquat and Aizoon for a Crit/Skilldamage Hybrid.

Evades enemy attacks 80% of the time for 2 turn(s), then 50% of the time afterwards.
Bread and Butter for Evasion Teams. Therefore good.

After attacking an enemy, there's a 40% chance to Act Again.
Well to be honest to me the 40% feels more like 25%. That's really a subjective feeling i know but for me she barely triggered her second Attack. Again she is outclassed by many other girls like Cactus, Rainbow Rose, Hare's Ear etc. I would either use Dendrobium (especially after they buffed her she is a Monster and we voting her A-Tier was the right choice) and only have one powerfull turn than relying on those 40%.

Grading: Well that is definetely her weakest section. She is outclassed by other Evasion Girls, Skilldamage Girls, Double Strike Girls and even the Group Atk buff doesn't reach Standard Levels. I am aware that Evasion and Double Strike is a good Combo cause it gives her more opportunities to trigger her second Attack but based on my own observations and experience she never impressed me and rarely was able to double strike for two consecutive turns. I would rather use someone like Royal Water Lily (June Bride) who guarantees me a Damage Boost than Iono who relies to much on RNG. 50% Double Strike is the threshold and those 10% make a huge difference based on my observations. C-Tier

Conclusion: Iono is a decent Rainbow. She doesn't excel in any field though. Overall there are other girls i prefer more. She can dish out fairly good damage in Evasion Teams if you are lucky enough that she consecutively hits her second Attacks. In my opinion 40% chance is just a little bit to low to be viable. I was torn between B- and C+ but in the end i went with C+. She just never impressed me in the time i have been using her.

Final Grading: C+

I will end the discussion shortly after my vote. We are way over the Deathline.
