The Special Fighter 3 Sacred Seal has an HP condition, while Bold Fighter 3 does not. This is relevant in certain scenarios, the most common being fighting Níðhöggrs. However, using a Special acceleration Sacred Seal is niche and is only relevant when facing enemies with both Scowl and Guard effects. We also fixed the wording on Pure Storm's analysis. Thanks for pointing it out!
acting FOUR times without a duo skill or refresher is crazy
since the A skill already gives a guaranteed follow up, & if the special cooldown is the important part of the bold fighter seal, would special fighter seal not be better, since it also has a guard effect against her enemies (i don't see that in Edelgard's default skills, but maybe i just overlooked it)?
"The most important effect of Pure Storm is that it disables foe's Special skills if Edelgard has already entered combat aside from the current combat on the current turn." I don't think this is accurate. The disabled special on the foe is if the FOE has already entered combat, not Edelgard, at least according to the skill description.
Let's take the Valentine's Edelgard vs Valentine's Rhea matchup for example If Edelgard initiates the attack, Armored Blaze would trigger with or without Bold Fighter 3 Seal because of the effects of her weapon and Assault Rush, but Rhea's Scowl effect is going to prevent her from triggering her Special on the first attack. Equipping Bold Fighter 3 as the Seal does not help her activate Armored Blaze in this situation because the +1 Special Cooldown occurs after Edelgard's attack
We chose Bold Fighter 3 Sacred Seal to counter Scowl + Guard users, since one Scowl effect is all it takes for Edelgard to not trigger Armored Blaze. However, you're right - Atk/Def Prime 3 is better for general purposes. Bold Fighter is a metagame call against foes that have both Scowl and Guard.
There are probably better options than Bold Fighter as a seal Yes the +1 Special.Charge per attack is nice but Sly Sturdy already has the Guaranteed Follow-up Attack You really need stats from your seal, Atk/Def Prime makes sense
