The first hits hard and the second is a guaranteed auto-kill against mages. Mages are in general the worst class right now because the are no longer as effective against the new powercreeped armor units we have, and the dragon units which are now very popular eat them alive. And yeah I'm talking about arena, you can clear no-arena content Lon'qu's enemy phase is very strong. With refined Slaying Edge he hits really high HP ranges which means he doesn't die to any single hit, and his speed ensures he never gets doubled. That's all he needs. Guaranteed two-attacks with a guaranteed Luna is all I need to kill most units with him right away. He'll get smacked in the process but you want to take damage as Lon'qu because it puts you into range for Desperation or Wrath which then changes him from enemy phase to a player phase monster. Low attack doesn't matter nearly as much as it used to because it's so easy to get specials off and Luna cuts straight through enemy defense. Specials define a lot of the current meta. And simply put, Lon'qu kills easily because he always doubles and wracks up specials with ease, which is the most important part of his archetype. He has the second-highest base speed in the game and it matters. A lot. It doesn't take a lot of investment either. I run a simple Fury/Desperation/Luna build and it's all I need. Wo Dao+ or Wrath are also very good, maybe better, but they're not required. He's honestly the best sword type I've used in Arena - I mostly switched him out for Ike because the Arena scoring system is dumb. Buffs don't matter. Everyone can get buffs. Is Ayra better? Yeah. Is Mia? Yeah. Does that matter? No. There being better options than Lon'qu does not mean Lon'qu isn't really good. In general the whole 'reds are weak because there's competition' makes no sense. If there were 50 equally powerful reds who all deserved to be in S tier, than they should all be in S tier. Competition just means you don't have to use Lon'qu. If you do, you'll still do very well. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:896654433] in Fire Emble...
