The 9.9 Rating of A!Hector is only justifiable if he has the premium skills of Shield Fighter, A/D Briar F Save, Aegis and E!Ike's Ring. And even then, he's only formidable if he can trigger the Far Save effect, coz' if not, then he can be easily killed by Meta Units right now like B!Felix, E!Sigurd and even B!Bernadetta. I should know since I have him with this build, but now I'm also planning to make him a Near Save unit, just so I can somehow counter this close physical monster units.

I don't agree with him being promoted to 9.9 over NY!Nidhoggr I have a +10 Fallen Lloyd with the standard Laguz Friend and Godlike Reflexes build that has consistently defeated A!Hector on enemy phase while going for Tier 21 in Arena NY!Nidhoggr on the other hand is an instant surrender with my team of +10 Grail Units who are scorebots. There are so few units who can defeat her

>>5 I forgot about emblem banner next week . I have hector and cupkakke (Níðhögrr) and they are both far saves as u said. The emblem banner needs to be a good counter to them all, but it might be green or colourless(I'm british). Emblem Leif, Emblem Edel or Emblem F Corrin. Anyway, I think Hector is better than Winter Fomo matchup wise, seeing how he is getting killed easier than i thought.

>>4 ... fomortis' best skills on hector, but i only have 1. It sucks all the newest save units i have are all far save. I missed the Halloween hero w near save. 😞 I dread the coming offensive type heroes to combat these shield fighter builds. I honestly wish they wouldn't come too hard, cuz it makes sense to have to kill the far saves with close range heroes to me. Several months ago there was mo far save that could stop the new op units, & AR defense is already a fool's game.

Interesting, thanks. I finally have a shield fighter w winter fomortis, but i pulled all red to try & get him before the spark, but couldn't, so i spent 200 orbs (minus free pull) all just to have to spark him. I should just start planning to spark & just use the 160 instead. I used to have much better luck until i got low on orbs. The devs definitely know how to get us to spend money. I don't have enough for another spark & i need to save for the emblem unit now. I wish i could put

>>2 Im not surprised they made another character that can be switched betweem near and far save and is a fodder bank aswell. He might be relevent for a long time. But yh C and special should be changed to make him a far save, I wonder if they will make a save skill.like 'Def/Res Twin O Save' which could save both near and far (the O stands for Omni). They probably wouldnt otherwise this would be the first character to put it on in my opinion

What needs to be changed to make him a near save? The C skill & special? I wish i had more savior fodder. At least with this hero, i can put shield fighter & near save when i finally get them, & at least get it on 1 extra hero. I've always thought it was weird to have higher Def on a far save unit, & hector seems to always have this. Is it just to make him a jack of all trades kinda thing? So he can withstand some physical punishment, too?

Not bad of a save, wily fighter is actually good, especially in aether raids and sd
