Both of those work. He has reason to be where I need him to be for either one.

Before everyone min-maxes for Myrmidon-style stats (skill and speed), I'd like to point out that skill and speed alone do not kill enemies. They effect your hit rates, critical rates, and dodge rates and compliment each other well, yes. In all cases you may have an advantage in chance, but it is just that, chance. Myrmidons and other speed/skill focused characters are among the most prone to being RNG screwed or killed by lucky hits. Defense and Strength, while they may only affect 'one thing', are constant as the northern star. You will always shave X amount of damage off every enemy hit, no matter how probable or improbable. You will always deal X more damage. coughIguesswhatI'mtryingtosayistankunitsgenerallyg ainalotofexperience

Healthy stats to not neglect, in any case.

Yeah, an iron bow in your case.

Down: Right. Looks good. Your AID is 5 in this case (con -1) and your element should go in the support box at the bottom. Or rather, you should include yourself as a support (as you will contribute your own element to all of your support partnerships anyway.)

Speaking of supports... I guess I should reveal what each element does now.

For each rank of a support, your element and your partner's element contributes 1x the following to your total bonuses, when you stand within 3 tiles of one another.

Element|Dmg|Def|Hit|Eva|Crt|Dge

Fire|+.05| +0 |+2.5| +0 | +5 | +0

Tndr| +0 |+0.5| +0 |+2.5| +0 | +5

Wind| +0 | +0 |+2.5|+2.5| +5 | +0

Ice | +0 | +1 | +0 | +0 | +0 | +5

Lght| +0 |+0.5|+2.5| +0 | +5 | +0

Dark|+0.5| +0 | +0 |+2.5| +5 | +0

Anim| +1 | +0 | +0 | +0 | +5 | +0

Watr|+0.5|+0.5| +0 | +0 | +0 | +5

Fractions round DOWN. For example, if Jacob and Jocelyn have a C-rank support, which means they're rank 1, and Jacob is Fire and Jocelyn is water, they would gain water+firex1, or 1 damage, 0 defense, 2% accuracy and 5% critical dodge. (Dge is unique here, as it, like luck, reduces enemy critical chance agaisnt you.) At rank B, they would gain 2 damage, 1 defense, 5% accuracy and 10% critical dodge. Provided of course, they are within 3 tiles. No matter how narcissistic you may be, you may not apply your support bonuses to yourself without a partner.
