Quite sure Shadow Sword uses Dark Magic. And your character have zero growth on Mag. Also, when everyone gets the final decision on the Shards, let me know. I am probably going to get AFK for now.

[Sirus]

No SKL yet, no. But since I'm highly suspicious of these shards, I'll pass on any of them we find. Let me know when we have a canon stat booster and maybe I'll be interested :v

I should remind you that Nanoha is our ace against undead. Light magic trumps them, but fire is super effective.

And about shadow sword I might give it a try. I'll post a preview of what I have in mind.

Fire is super effective against monsters (giant spiders, etc), not undead. As far as I know they are two separate categories of foe.

[scapheap]

Now something unrelated: are shadow swords any good?

protenally, but overspecialize(indoor anti-magic units). By no means a bad final choice, but compared to the other swordman trainee choices(support fighter or glass cannons), the fencer's paths seem very limited for too little extra power.

I didn't mean I wanted shadow sword on this game. It's just an idea I have that could work for another FEF.
Anyways I wouldn't give much credit to magic, they can't use it until final promotion, and I see shadow sword more as a mage killer than a mage user.

My idea of a shadow sword would be:
Big RES growth.
Crushing sword prof, aiming for mage masher/claymore.
And I dunno what else really. Just tank magic errday and abuse their low defense. Prob high STR and SKL to one hit them and decent SPD to not get doubled.

Sirus: I'm pretty sure undead die to fire. Monsters are weak to thunder.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'm the opposite of Sirus then: I'm going to use every shard you guys let me have, just to see if they have another effect in-game.

@Solymr: Could be an interesting build.

[Solymr]

Mage masher just obliterates mages and claymore is the most damaging 1-2 range non magic sword.
Big RES can be supplemented by PS to help overcome crippling overspecialization.
Something like an all-terrain fencer 

[Swordstar]

I'd considered going fencer in NoH (largely because I'm a fencer) but I ended up deciding against it because of how low powered and situational they seem to be. Their skills are solely indoor and they just seem very... boring isn't the right word but it's the closest thing I can think of right now.

As for crossbows vs recurve, it's true that crossbows are nice but they're also super heavy, so I'd be losing megaspeed if I were to use them which is why I leaned towards the recurve plus there's the Flare Bow which uses magic which could be super fun when I hit Valkyrie. I dunno, anyone else have thoughts?

[Solymr]

Recurve is right if you're going to use Flarr Bow cause it requirea A.
You should remember that proficiency is crossbows reduces their weight penalty.
And btw we need you over in the other other FEF.

[SeriousConcentrate]

You're a fencer, Swordstar? Nice. ^^^

[scapheap]

(largely because I'm a fencer)

*look at Swordstar's avatar* you know, I was thinking that was a knight forward facing who was duel-wielding swords. Didn't think it was a face-guard on a table(?).

[Swordstar]

Haha, yeah it's a mask with two sabers. Even though I use epees. >_> MINOR DETAILS THE INTERNET DID THE BEST IT COULD!

But yeah. Been fencing for a good chunk of my life now, is fun.

As for crossbows, I know that being proficient in them lowers the weight penalty but... *shrug* I dunno. I have a STR growth for a reason and while it might not be a great one, I'd still like to be able to use something like the Flare Bow and average weight of a crossbow is around 13 or so, and I'll have a max con of 7... I dunno. *shrug* She's also not intended to be a super powerful fighter. More like someone who heals and can attack if needed.

Also, did not realize my levels had been rolled, yes please I am quite happy with those. I mean... some of them are really weird but sitting at 12 res and 6 def with 23 HP, I'm quite happy for now.

[Caellath]

Praef is working on balancing to make things more interesting. Some changes will probably be applied when we get to be promoted.

The RNG's favor is fickle and strange.

[Swordstar]

Well I was just amused at the HP, LCK, SPD level I got. Because HP is expected but LCK is like... 15%. So yeah. Amused.

[Solymr]

I just noticed everyone forgot about my daunt.

Gamer: Fire or Dark?

Dark
