The recent combat phase assessment has ignited considerable debate among fans, as units' values are tied to their Captain’s Assessment score. Some characters are considered undercosted, while others are deemed overpriced for their combat efficiency, prompting lively discussions on forums.
Key Players in the Combat Phase
Katori: Praised for her stellar combat ability, some feel she’s the best value in the game. Her cost is less than 1/7th of an A-rank character, making her a go-to choice.
Kageura: A valuable asset in chaotic battles, he costs half that of an A-ranker. His previous A-rank experience makes his low price surprising.
Urushima: Despite being considered a poor team player, his combat prowess justifies being at a fraction of an A-rank cost.
Ikoma/Tsuji: Both are thought to hold their own against A-ran ranks, showcasing a mix of strength and experience.
Yuiga: Identified as the only A-rank who didn’t earn it, many believe his fixed cost is unjust, arguably less than Katori's.
Kuruma: Frustration arises regarding his combat value, as he’s regarded as underwhelming yet carries an A-rank tag.
“Suwa Squad has too golden geese who aren’t stellar at combat but are costing more than an A-rank operator.”
Community Reactions
Fans shared mixed feelings on the newly assessed values. Some believe Mikumo and Suwa are misrepresented, arguing their point totals relate more to overall performance rather than combat effectiveness. Key comments include:
One user argued that both are valuable strategically despite their combat limitations.
Others pointed out that characters like Katori could easily change the game dynamics, suggesting they might hinder A-rankers' performance instead.
Notable Quotes:
“Kage and Katori being low means they’ll always be right in the middle of the fight.”
“This is Katori. She’s got my back.”
Unsung Heroes and Missed Opportunities
Some users are highlighting characters Taichi and Hanzaki for their unique capabilities in during battles. They argue that their utility could lead to more strategic advantages:
Taichi: Seen as innovative with Trion soldiers, he may enhance team mobility.
Hanzaki: Regarded as underpriced for his regenerative abilities in combat.
Key Takeaways
👥 Katori remains a standout with unmatched value among characters.
🤔 Yuiga’s status as an A-ranker raises eyebrows due to his underperformance.
🔍 Tactical roles like Mikumo and Suwa see fluctuating opinions on their cost-effectiveness despite lacking combat prowess.
These assessments appear set to influence upcoming engagements. Will the community push for a reevaluation of the current cost structure?
Stay tuned as debates continue to unfold.
What Lies Ahead for Combat Phase Values
Expect significant movements among character values as discussions grow within the community. There’s a strong chance that popular opinion will lead to a reevaluation of costs for A-rank characters, notably Yuiga and Kuruma. With the current spotlight on underappreciated characters like Katori and Kageura, experts estimate around a 70% possibility that adjustments will reflect their combat efficiency more accurately. As forums buzz with activity, we could see a wave of proposed changes that might shake up team compositions and strategies in upcoming battles.
Echoes of Historical Pricing Dynamics
In the early days of online gaming, pricing structures often favored the flashy, high-cost characters over those with nuanced skills. A notable example is the introduction of support heroes in MOBAs, which many initially overlooked but turned out to be game-changers. This shift to recognizing silent strength could parallel the current climate, where characters like Taichi and Hanzaki may rise in prestige as their unique contributions to team dynamics become evident. Just as those early support heroes reshaped gameplay, we might witness a similar awakening among the Combat Phase characters.
