    So here's a fact to blow your mind:
    Boreas is voiced by Jules de Jongh, who also voices Finch. Not terribly surprising, right? Boreas and Finch have rather similar voices.
    She also voices Brighid.

  • @sonnytapman
    @sonnytapman Před 3 lety +30

    Part of me feels like Boreas wasn't exactly made to be a super strong blade. Rather, I almost feel like he was made to be one of the first blades you ever get.
    Let's put this in perspective. He has far and away the easiest affinity chart to fill out of any of the New Game blades. Not only that, but a newer player is going to prefer a harder to kill healer, so Boreas fits that bill perfectly. And you can tell this is the case because he's in one of the pity blade groups.
    Then, as you go throughout the game and learn about the way the game works and how strong other forms of healing become, Boreas becomes a bit weaker, but he still has his niche. I really like that some of the blades in the pity groups serve as a form of teaching tool.
    It's a shame that there wasn't just one pity group that consisted of something like Boreas, Nim and Gorg. You know, cause they'd serve as a strong blade you can have at the start, a lesson about fusion combos, and then teaching players that a particular blade role doesn't pigeonhole what the blade can do.

    He's definitely faster than Mythra (though this seems to be more of a joke than anything else) and it wouldn't be odd to give him a higher cooldown than the highest cooldown to reflect that (though a cooldown of six sounds a bit much, huh)

    An interesting fun fact that no one has mentioned in the cements is that his affinity chart mentions the favorite items of some of the major characters and blades. Kinda useless in the age of internet, but is nice. It feels like he knows you and your friends well.

      It's just straight up one shotting you? Are you perhaps getting it to awakened state with a blade combo? That will increase all his damage so once he enrages it can one shot you, otherwise it shouldn't be and it should be fairly easy to win. Be careful about blade combo usage against ken. If all else fails try adding some driver combo support with tora and master scope.

However, even with sunlight eye VI, my accuracy is still an issue. Should I run some dexterity commons I'm using Tora and QTpi with master scope, sometimes Tora can break Ken before lethal harpoon. I think the elemental awakening is the main problem, because then he can continuously one-shot me. Thanks Enel :)
