Armored Blue Blade Knight, Arcline

You mean like forever ago when Sun Quan came out?

That's only true if you actually get 2 turns. Even with Sandalphon's damage reduce there are things that will kill you outright, and many newer bosses can shield SQ's delay. Furthermore, if your spike involves skils other than a simple type-enhancer (orb changers, orb enhancers, etc) it's better to have a concentrated one turn boost than spread out over several turns

Or when Sandalphon descended.

Idk. I still think a max skilled sandolphin is better because it will help you one shot the last two floors, and with majority of the descends that is the case......also helps with preemptives. And healer teams need that firepower

omfg i want this guy. not only he is a healer (and surclasses king shynee), but he's white/blue! he's perfect for my white/blue healer team!

And most spikes do, especially on healer teams.

And Sandalphon and Sun Quan effectively outclass Arcline too. (2*ATK for two turns is effectively the same as 3* for one turn, ignoring having to get past enemy defense twice.)

All right, Sun Quan doesn't QUITE supplant Arcline, being primarily water rather than light. But the point remains for Sandalphon.

Lol there are VERY VERY few bosses that will outright kill you with Sandalphon up especially now that Legend Plus able L Meta teams are up in the 28500-30000 HP range.

Sandalphon is straight the best enhancer out right now if you get him skilled up for all healer teams except water centric ones. His utility allows you to basically clear 2 mythical level bosses in 2 turns without dying to any stupid preemptives (Looking at you DQ hera).

That's racist af.

That's clearly a Lightning Zwei+5. He probably uses DWGR too.

Giants. Giants. Giants. Become unstoppable. What rings u got? Ring of flavor and protection? Let's pwn some noobz.

coulda sworn you said "power up the bacon" for half a second... not to self, clean glasses

Power up the Basscannon

Arcline of Astoria

According to the runes, literally translated it'd be
蒼大剣の鎧騎士
Blue Big Sword Armored Knight or to make it sound better, "Big Blue Sword Wielding Armored Knight."
The Big Blue Sword is modifying the Armored Knight. This is a case where の is used to indicate modification of a noun, rather than a possessive article.
If it was how you said it was that, it'd be
大剣の蒼鎧騎士
which would be Big Sword Wielding Blue Armored Knight.
That's not to say the way they translated it to is wrong, since it definitely sounds more pleasant in english, and if they translated it like I did, it'd be more awkward, but it's less ambiguous in Japanese.

Nah, it's a Blade Knight that's Armored and Blue.

Does she have a Blue sword and black boots, or a Yellow Sword with white boots?

As soon as I read the name, I looked at the pic and what? The sword is blazing Yellow, ok GungHo.

Thanks, but I was just joking around and was trying to add a different perspective in this case.
Since it's referring to the added sub element, maybe Water Blade might work better? Using it that way with some of the other knights does sound pretty cool.

One thing to note is that Sandalphon's boost lasts for two turns (ditto Sun Quan, for that matter). Meaning that his net benefit is +200%, even given that the two attacks probably won't have the same base damage after combos and skyfalls, and unlike King Shynee, the boost has to deal with enemy defense twice. Arcline, meanwhile, gives a one-turn boost of +150%. No effectively doubled defense for the boon portion, but not quite as much of a multiplier.

Sandalphon is farmable. Most farmable monsters in this game are a pain to level compared to their REM counterparts if they have one. The game wants you to pull more, so it makes it harder to max out free monsters.

Lkali. Takes care of blue and has a tpa

DQ as well

Sun and the twins too. So much better than King Shynee.

It's a 6-star rather than a 3-star, and you're surprised?

Uh, take a look at Lu Bu. The only reason it's surprising is because it IS so high rarity. Usually stuff like that gets balanced out like how Baddie has a bigger boost than Lu Bu and no repercussions but Lu Bu has better stats.

Umi/Yama, new healer sub-type allows for a healer team
It even has two-prong

L/L Ra with the upcoming healer sub type update

LZL, 4.5x LS and 2.5 spike =50.625x multiplier GG

Yes, multipliers simply get replaced. If they stacked we'd have some big spenders using teams of Lu Bu and Devil Celes all over the place. xD

this one, the green one and the red one are way better than slimes
many people say that the blue slime (nice awakenings) and the dark slime (has some points on recovery) are better than the new blue and dark knights

example: ronia wants recovery to benefit her stats boost, so king baddie is way better than the new knight that has 0

Also the dark knight boosts physical, not devil. So there's that.

Definitely have to consider with cards it will boost, lol.

The Dark knight would be more viable on a Blue Sonia Team due to boosting Physical. The Dark knights active isn't useful at all on a Ronia team.

Lol! Have mini LZL, lkali, and this....!!!
Dream team:
LKali/Arcline/LZL/Lilith/Valk/LKali

What about Guan Yinping or Sanctuary Guardian, Archangel?

An active that is actually useful is the difference.

On a healer team you probably have 3 bind reducers with two of them unbindable, so much redundancy... And an awkward Red/Green enhancer? For who? Thumblina or A.Ama sub attribute?

And HP boosting orb changer would be great. Or one can dream of a 2.5/2.5/1 getting you comfortably within a basic 9x damage but enough HP to be able to survive the hits you can heal from? Hell even Ronia has Beelzebub to do the healer thing better than Healers but with better orb changers and raw attack of Devil types.

It's a great replacement for Shynee on ANYWHERE.

I'm keeping at least one spare for whenever an ultimate may came out in case there are two different ones... I honestly wouldn't keep a third though and I'd pray for a skill up.

Well it seems like everything could get awoken forms, so you could get both ultimates and an awoken form

Keep three. You can put two on a team with two orb changers and have one for boss and another for a mini boss if needed. Also you could use the second one if the boss has huge hp..you might need two for the boss alone. Then keep the third for another ult evo if it ever comes out.

Use Sandalphon for a farmable two turn 2x boost instead of a second Arcline on your team. Also consider putting Arcline in a leader spot if you are courting healers. His active may not be as good as an extra orb changer for a Light/Blue healer team but its solidly useful nonetheless and the 2x HP is HUGE for a healer team. With my Awoken Amaterasu healing after a hit is no problem, its being able to take those medium sized hits that you are expected to be able to tank.
