  • Primrose Azelhart has arrived in CotC - almost a year earlier than planned! The biggest debate regarding Prim is how she stacks up against Lynette, so hopefully between this video and my Lynette Guide, you can get a good understanding of how I perceive each of these characters' strengths and weaknesses. Speaking of my Lynette Guide, if you haven't already, check it out here! It was uploaded simultaneously with this video so you can see both sides of the coin!

    primrose is easily my favorite girl from the original 8, and while i'd love to pull for her now, i promised myself i'd save up for olberic. tho with how quickly they're adding new characters it might just be better for me to wait for a step up

    I appreciate the flexibility in her kit, actually. You can run her on AoEs for mobbing, she works as a DPS/breaker for dark/fan weak bosses, and she can be a buffer on other bosses. It's good to know she synergizes well with Lynette, too, if I happen to get her.
    I haven't commented on your other videos, but I've been using a combination of them and meowdb's written guides to get going with CotC. Your videos are very well structured and a great resource to have, especially so early in the game's lifespan. Thanks a bunch for making these.

    from what im seeing, seems like SE is putting out the banners for the original octopath characters. imo i feel like cyrus would come out really close, maybe like within the next 2 months. So far in the 2-3 weeks since the game came out for US, tressa and now primrose. With heathcote banner coming in between, theres a chance SE is planning to put out an original member cast every other banner

    Thank you for the video! Primrose is one of my favorite characters so i had to pull on her banner, luckily got her in the first 10 pull! Really awesome character, story and theme👌🏻 The only one that tops it for me is Cyrus' theme. But man, they pit out these banners rral fast, i hope i can get Ophelia. I am in desperate need of a great healer

  • @acetrainersylph7953
    @acetrainersylph7953 Před rokem +8

    I find Primrose to be better than Lynette until Lynette gets her special. Primrose has a better buff, buffing ATK/DEF/MAG/SPEED whereas Lynette only has ATK/MAG buff.
    Primrose also has SP regen & better offensive Mag stat, sp stat, and speed stat.
    Also Lynettes special requires a dupe Lynette, which most F2P players arent going to have an easy time acquiring.
    If someone wants a buffer/dancer than Primrose is honestly the better choice, and even if you have Lynette getting Primrose will still be beneficial because you can keep 1 in front row and the other in the backrow and basically be able to bounce and rotate buffs often.
    Primrose also has buff extender passive and 4 hit attack

    Tempting. But after doing the first step up. My team should be enough for now. So im saving hard for therion and cyrus. Who could come at anytime and im nowhere near enough rubies.

    • @ShizukatzCotC
      @ShizukatzCotC  Před rokem

      I do not plan to; the difference in magic stats and skill potencies between 4 and 5* characters is often just not a really fair comparison.
      Down the line, 4* characters will be able to significantly higher damage than now, but at that point 5* characters' damage ceilings will also have gone significantly up.

    hey shizukatz thanks for the informative video as usual!
    With yesterday's patch I've been wondering if pulling on the step-up is worth it now, since its technically 2 guaranteed 5 stars for only 1200 rubies. Value-wise it seems very generous but since the pool of characters are still the starting units I'm doubtful

    @ismatoro1 Před rokem +1

    Since I've started playing the game I've only spend 350 rubies in the two first steps of the sofia/fiore banner. I didn't pulled till 5step because I already have fiore (my other 5* are lynette, viola, gilderoy and theo) and because I'm saving up for Cyrus. But now there is a high incentive with the compensation. S
    As a f2p should I pull to the 5 step to get Sofia and another 5* or should I keep saving in caution for a earlier cyrus release (I don't use to have luck with ny pulls)?

    • @ShizukatzCotC
      @ShizukatzCotC  Před rokem +2

      I think that considering your current roster of 5* is already quite strong, saving for Cyrus might be better. You could also maybe just hit Fiore and/or Sofia when you try to roll for Cyrus as well.
