Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban):
Kyrie
Fellblade/Marked
Counter: Slow
Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font
Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%.
Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities.
Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage.
Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I don't like the passive Avenger. However, I am now giving it a chance because then Kyrie can use both Soul Armor and Soul Eater, which give immense boost to the statistic, including at least 32% chance to crit. The secondary passives are now Malice (for increased chance of debuff from Fellblade's abilities, if there's no crit) and Life Font i.e. exchanging Versatility for Avenger.
The Slow counter is simply too good to bypass.
Reiner
Ranger/Gunner
Counter: Renew
Secondary passives: Concentration, Malice
Gunner's abilities are incredibly useful: they can inflict a variety of conditions. My favourites are Cripple and Mute. Ranger's Sniper Shot has the highest multiplier (3.8) in the game. Why Ranger/Gunner instead of Gunner/Ranger? Speed.
Malice increases chance of debuff by 10%. Concentration is for higher accuracy (great for enemies with signifcant Evasion) but can choose other passives.
Since Reiner will probably be a little further from the rest of the party, the Renew counter is useful.
Anadine
Demon Knight/Duelist
Counter: Evade Skill
Secondary passives: Defense Expert, Life Font
Demonic Might, Corrupted Blade and Cleave are good abilities. Corrupted Blade cost 24 mana and so Duelist is a good fit because its Flourish abilities are manaless, yet with quite high multiplier.
Since Demon Knight cannot use shield, Defense Expert and Life Font are selected to shore up her survivability. I particularly like this combination: Demonic Might to give increased ATK, MND and the buff Renew, move so to trigger Life Font and then Renew kicks in at the end. The amount of healing is sufficient to to counteract the damage inflicted by Demonic Might.
There are so many devastating Skill based abilities and hence Evade Skill counter is great.
