Thread: Awakening Question

Is it worth it to use Bernice as Awakening material for Maribel if you have 2 min cost max skilled Maribel's?

bernice is the better tank with or without skill , so do the math

Bernice is in all honesty a much better and steadier tank than Maribel, i'd level and awaken her before Maribel any day.

To put it like this: Maribel is only a good tank during skill use, Bernice just needs to be placed and she'll weather whatever storm is thrown at you. Maribel has her good moments, but should only be used as an off-tank.

Thanks for the advice, I figured as much. Should I even make Maribel my next awakening target if that's the case?

depends what u have awakened already and what you still need.


We can't really give advice without knowing your team.


For example , do you have an AW spica ? Do you have any other % attack/defense boosters ? (ex uzume/sherry)
Do you have your core units (HAT + soldiers ) awakened ?
Do you have any other boosters (like celia/cuterie/monica) ?


Not much advice without knowing that.
As for heavies , i dont see the need to rush awaken 2 heavies right one after the other....expecially since there aren't that many maps taht require 2 awakened heavies anwayy (i for example have just bernice awakened and Mari is not even cc-ed , even tho shes min costed and maxed skilled)

So far I have awakened Spica, Belinda, Iris, Aria, and Katie. I don't have many good pulls from packs with the exception of Bashira. I was either going to awaken a heavy next or a fighter like Lolonee

in that case bernice is a good unit to AW. SHes a good heavy on her own , and her AW passive buffs herself and her allies defense (edit :i meant allied heavies) by 5% as well.


After that i'd go for either a mage or a duelist as well

Yeah, and honestly, even then the whole "offensive heavy armor" niche is a very awkward fit in this game and she's saved from total obscurity mostly by the fact that she's so damn cheap to acquire and mincost compared to the current samurai available. Otherwise you could make a pretty solid argument that she's basically a Kojuro sidegrade--she's a bit more evasive and has better EHP but her unbuffed attack power is waaaay worse and she only hits a unit at a time.

Well, comparing maribel with kojuro was interesting o_O
My one of the biggest regrets in the game was levelling both emilia and maribel.

I never leveled Emilia but i did level Maribel the first time she had her event. Never had a single regret about that because she's a great offtank when you lack other things.
