Thread: How important is Spica?

Archers were pretty fucking useless in Rika's event, Nanaly included.

The exception being the Efreet in Inferno G, but yeah.

I'm using a fairly old account so I don't have Bashira (though I was lucky enough to get Nanaly but couldn't CC, no black spirits), thus I had to make do with Soma for the longest time and god, other than the low UP cost she wasn't very useful as I would often watch flying units just pass through laughing off her shots. So in my side of it, Spica was VERY important, as alot of my archer-dependent ventures would end in abject failure otherwise.

Any case, like everyone else says, tactically she can boast a slightly larger range and I've noticed she actually has a light form of MR which I guess places her above Nanaly in survival (barely) and strategically her AW passively buffs archers in general so at the least having her (even if not using her) may be worth considering.

I...don't think that's being helpful...maybe archers in general were a poor choice for that event in particular? If that were the case, no choice of archer would be particularly valuable.

Its mostly because the enemy units for that event had armor and hp in high amounts, so they were more or less archer proof. Not to mention they spawned in large numbers in later maps, so it was better to try and place as many mages as the map would allow since even with the MR the enemy units had it wasn't enough to protect them entirely from a mage onslaught.

I was replying to the post above me, specifically the part that says "ultimately it would take a really specific map before you'd regret having them instead of a mix of pirates and vampire hunters."

Rika's event was full of enemies with high HP/defense, so archers did minimal damage to them. Though pirates and vampire hunters wouldn't have done much to them either.

Aaaand ninja'd.
