Not really much I have to say for why I’d want to do this. “If adjacent to an ally, deal +25 damage” on a bond build just makes sense. The question is, would it perform better than Glimmer?
(This build is to represent the build at its completion, and when Atk/Spd Bond 4 comes out)
Flat damage is always great, can help punch through bulkier opponents where glimmer would flop, and would go nicely with the massive attack and speed boost he’d be getting from bonds. Time’s Pulse would help make sure Canas can get consistent Blue Flames off when he initiates, although he can’t get it consistently on the enemy phase, that’s not a problem cause he’s a player phase unit first and foremost.
I can’t really think of any downsides off the top of my head, other than “It’s premium fodder” or something that has to do with damage scaling with Glimmer. So if any of you guys have a point on that, I’d like to hear it.
