For me, the game should be about using your favourite characters, and I’d always recommend a build that suits that unit, regardless of whether there is someone else superior or not.
But it’s not just character superiority that is brought up far to often but also IV superiority too.
I frequent the game press FEH website also, and it annoys the hell out of me when someone posts a thread stating ‘I pulled X unit and they have x/y bane/boon, how can I build them?’ and they get battered with replies of ‘don’t use that iv, it’s worthless, just use them for fodder instead’. Seriously?! Not everyone can whale for a superior copy, and it doesn’t answer the question either.
A good example I have of this is someone who I assume was new to that board as I’d never seen there username before asked what can they do with a +spd -def brave ike. Every reply was ‘that’s a useless nature, use him as steady breath fodder’. So I said ‘do you want to use him? Because -def is fixable with a +def seal and steady breath giving +4 def and +speed isn’t as bad a nature as people think’ and he said ‘yeah I really want to use him’, so I explained how I’d build him. Was that so hard for anyone to do?
Anyway, rant over haha
