Thread: Ares vs Azazel and some varied thoughts

This.
Unawaked Ares is... okay. Not anything special, but okay. Really, on the same boat with Azazel.

Once Awakened, Ares powers up a fair bit. Not enough that you'd pick her over Svarog/Uriel, but certainly still good.

Yes. Unfortunately, it is a terrible time to be maining fire (as a new player who hasn't been part of the previous Fire events). For months, your weapon grid is going to be 8x Disaster SR, 1 Yata Gun and some random Fire R for whatever Hero you need to use...

Yes, unfortunately. This honestly drains all my fun out of doing Accessory quests, as 90%+ of the stuff you get are absolutely useless garbage.

wait. The wepon the hero uses doesn't give stats to the rest of the party ?

It does, but sometimes you have no choice but to use a rare because the soul needs a specific weapon type.

It affects the party no different than the rest. You could have easily tested this simply by removing the weapon and looking at the stats of your team.

What they're saying above is that fire doesn't have any events for a long time, so they're stuck using whatever they can get for their soul, even if it's a R weapon. It really only applies if you just started the game recently.

I found it funny when I read the lack of enthusiasm people here had with the Yatagarasu reprint, while I was pretty excited to at last have a Fire event. Logical, as it was a second reprint, but funny none the less.

My weapon selection for fire is passable. Not great, but I can work with things like the fire from Koihime. The lack of good SSR weapons is a problem. I look the event SSR weapons I have for water and light...

The wait for the Ares Awakening seems sooooo long. Specially with Thor looking me with puppy eyes saying "awake me, plis".

Edit: It depends what is "recently". I began just on time for Halloween, and was too newbie to Wrath. I think I really began on the worst possible moment to main fire.

People didn't care for Yata event because many already got everything of value. This is the third time we've had the event and they didn't restock anything.

Starting right now is the worst possible time for fire.

Oh dear. Reading this makes me kinda sad xD

Just started and fire is my main team

3 months without a fire event, in case you were wondering. If you haven't progressed too late/ don't have a particularly good fire account/ don't have Belial, this is quite a good time to bail while you can.

Having both Ares and Azazel, I can say that I heavily rate Azazel. She's an incredibly powerful kamihime to have if you have the right support for her and fortunately that comes in the form of one of the "must-haves" for any wind team; Awakened Gaia. I do admit she is very hard to keep alive while leveling up since she doesn't get her regen/life drain skill til I think 55? But when she gets to max and with a decent skills rotation between her heal buff and Awakened Gaia's regen she's barely takes any damage from her Overheat DoT and gets amazing benefits that last a very long time for buffs of that kind and effectivity.
I know she doesn't have one as of yet, but I can't wait to get her Awakened form. She's a currently one of my favourite kamihime that I have just in terms of raw power she brings to a more all-rounder type element group but also in her design too.
