Hmm might have to AW my sybilla sooner than expected or lvl my Sabinne, she seems like a good unit though can anyone confirm if she would be a good investment to lvl sooner than AW sybilla? I plan to lvl all my units eventually so it is no real Issue.

I have saizo (no fencer or sybilla or any other ranged melee spot unit besides viera the sailor) but both arent leveled. I will propably have to find a way to work around that as i dont want to level and cc saizo.

Unless you're lacking on Black Spirits so that leveling Sybilla doesn't require 150k gold (or more, not kidding), there's no way Sabinne is competing with Sybilla as a duelist, and while she does have constant range as opposed to Sybilla's range only during skill, Sybilla is such an OP duelist it hurts lol (well, I'm sure the monsters that she's hitting are yelling "AHHHHHHHH IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS, MAKE IT STOP!!"). She's not invincible, obviously, but she's likely the strongest duelist in Nutaku overall (possibly other duelists are better under certain circumstances). That said, constant range seems like a necessity on that map, so idk. I just know that my AW Sybilla wrecks stuff all day long if you keep her healed.

I have Sabinne but I haven't used her yet, as I have AW Sybilla and Sherry (and Prince!) for duelists, plus the OP ranged damage of AW Aisha, AW Nanaly, AW Minerva, AW Marius and AW Spica so I have not had very many issues and certainly none where Sabinne would be more vital. I also have Saki CC'd, could use her if AW Sybilla isn't enough.

Strongest duelist? My Olivie with 100% physical dodge says hi~~

And Sabinne is not a duelist mainly. It's the fact that she's a ranged dps from a melee slot. Sybilla can only do this during her skill and i recommend getting at least one full time melee ranged up because they'll become more and more important. Sabinne also deals true damage if you ever care to SAW her once that pops up.

That said, Sybilla to AW50 is at least a must, but closer to her max level the stats she gains are not that impressive and you generally want AW'd units to about 80% to get the most stats.

...also subjugation events in the future love being incredibly limited on ranged slots with the harshest i've been on having only 3 ranged slots.

150k for a black leveling is really really cheap. a single combination over level 70 is somewhere between 12 and 15k. (not sure exactly , and i'm too damn lazy to check).

From level 70 to 99 , u need 91k exp. Assuming you use just plat armors alone (+3 black fairies) , that means more then 11 combinations. Assuming 11k gold for each combination , u will pay over 120k just to level your black from 70 to 99 , and that's assuming u do it with platinum armors and 3 black fairies alone.

To level a black from level 1 to 99 without using plat armors can cost over a milion mate.

To be fair, I DID note that Sybilla is "generally" the strongest but others may be better "under certain circumstances". Olivie can perfect tank physical mobs, even powerhouses, with that 100% dodge, but against multiple Lich-types, or if skill is on CD, her paper HP says hi back. Though this is comparing two black princesses who are both totally awesome (need to get my Olivie AW lol)

I also DID note that Sabinne has the advantage of being ranged on melee slot 100% of the time, but good to know her Skill AW (who knows when we'll get that, though) gives her true damage, I might actually raise mine now lol.

Also good to know that future subjugation events are going to be limited ranged slots, thanks for the info!

@Lolix, I just kinda picked 150k out of nowhere, honestly, lol. Not in game, and I've used plat armors and black spirits, which is likely where I got the 150k lol, but 1.2-1.5 million would have been more accurate indeed.

Yeah I have Saki too but have yet to CC her, though she may be a good replacement of a fencer. I plan to AW Sybilla anyway just need enough DC today to make this happen.

May put Sabinne on hold till I really need her, I should have enough fodder to get her up if I need her.

was actually seriously thinking of awakening saki as well. I used to hate her , but with the current patch , she looks a lot mroe usefull. Well...probably after the event tho..

I know much about pirates but not much about how ninja got buffed, can you enlighten me about the changes except cr?

shes cheaper to deploy
