    So let's say, hypothetically, cressidus uses his level 4 while you are toppled. In this situation, you must perish. There is no alternative.

    Cressidus is not only an absolute unit, but he also has the same English voice actor as Perceval (Kerry Shale).
    The dissonance between the two roles is a bit funny when you think about it.

    You say that all the Torna blades appeared and were quickly disposed of Enel, but you forget the one Blade who got left behind. A blade who is only fought ONCE in the main campaign, and in one DLC Challenge, and is never seen again. The abused and the forgotten Dolmes.
    Dughall’s Blade Dolmes is the only Rare Blade who is unobtainable, and they didn’t add him in New Game Plus like the Torna cast. He taught us the values of caring for our blades and to love and cherish them, not as slaves, but as partners and friends! No serious, I got major Pokémon anime vibes when the party commented on him using Dolmes as a living shield.
    Granted, he would’ve likely been a Shield Hammer clone, his weapon is called the Spike Hammer, and would have really sucked, but it would have been nice for him to forget that mean old Dughall and work with a kind and caring driver.
    Everyone press F for our fallen brethren, he shall not be forgotten!

  • @shioxeno

    I have a theory that some blades with Nopon Wisdom (except Fiora for obvious reasons) might have originally been the Blades of the very rare Nopon Drivers.
    Kasandra is the most obvious case since the Nopon that gives you the intel about her mentioned that her Driver was a Nopon.
    There are some Blades that make sense if they were originally awakened by a Nopon like Boreas for example because of his shape, personality and his love for Mushrooms.
    I like to think that Cressidus is one of those (we don't know if Cressidus was originally awakened as Mikhail's Blade and he most likely wasn't because Torna gathered many Core Crystals so they easily could have just stolen Cressidus' Core somewhere), he has Nopon Wisdom and it would be hilarious to think that a Nopon could have wielded those HUGE gauntlets in battle.

    • @anthonyk3952
      @anthonyk3952 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I mean, Tora's like 10 years old and uses a slightly smaller version of the weapon class with Poppi QT. I don't think it would be TOO far fetched to imagine an adult Nopon using Cressidus-sized gauntlets considering how drivers in canon gain superhuman strength/speed/endurance/durability after resonating. Plus if Newt is any indicator, the size of a blade's weapon can change to better fit the user.

    • @shioxeno
      @shioxeno 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@anthonyk3952 I had forgotten about Newt's weapon getting bigger when she uses it and shrinking when her Driver is using it.

    @thedemonicorangefridge1930 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    Cressidus in my opinion is by far the most underrated blade in the entire game. His biggest flaw is that he's completely useless on anyone other than Zeke, but if he is on Zeke he's an absolute powerhouse. Senton is a great skill that makes him fun to play with, and stacking his increased level 4 damage on top of that means that if you play him optimally - which isn't difficult - means that your going to be consistently hitting like a train. Utility wise he's definitely my second favourite in the game.

    Now I'm interested building a Driver around Cressidus and Ursula with them equipping a World Tree Drop, Overclocking Bangle & a Fast Blade Switch VI or two.
    It might not be the most practical, but playing as a [Royal / Holy] Knight whose is gimmick is continually swapping between guaranteed damage and a decent-ish group heal would certainly make for a memorable experience.

      His key affinity is built up by having meat in your inventory.
      Unlike other blades that have special conditions for key affinity, Cressidus needs no trust whatsoever to complete his affinity chart

      @@justinbowman1342 Though do keep in mind that not needing Trust to A/S rank him is a double edged sword if you want to get to S+ trust. S+ is determined by the total amount of trust points accumulated on a blade, so you'll still need to spam Love Potions to get to S+ if that's your end goal. Most rare blades need 9800 total to go from E to A rank, and then an extra 49200 to go from A/S to S+ (59000 total). Each Love Potion MANUALLY used gives 3000 Trust, so you'll still need about 20 of those to get him to S+ just like any other blade.

      If I had to guess I'd say it's pretty much what it says on the tin: A gauntlet. I'm thinking something along the lines of a mechanism that makes the big hands mimic the movement of your fingers.
      Back in the trailer for Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty they show that exact concept.

      Because his arts have long cooldowns and you want to have them up typically.

    Does boom boom laser do more dps than steady beam? Seems like with this particular build boom boom laser would be great due to the 150% topple bonus

    • @EnelXC
      @EnelXC  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It does but steady beam has other uses because of tora's weird AI. Regardless it doesn't matter here since I removed his launch art anyway.
