      She's a really hard servant to rank. I personally think her cooldowns, anemic out-of-niche damage mods, and a few other small problems hold her back from a lot of general use cases, but she can definitely get better with a buff or two.

    I hate it when Arts cooldowns are balanced around Tamamo's NP cooldown reduction. They probably figure that Joan's skill 3 synergizes way too well with Tamamo so they nerfed it.

    Still a very cute unit to me.
    I find with arts they got so many resources and power houses that it's hard for many to stand out especially after space Ishtar summer ibuki and the other aoe units for loopers and castoria for support where her role is very good and f2p units can still keep up with content to help out.
    It's always good to be critical of even the more favorable units in game as a lot of people don't know how to debate by bringing up the negatives themselves to have a fully looked at unit and review as those videos are ones that are better researched and honestly better to the character kits than those who never mention any negatives

      That's on the NA FGO community and their constant need to unnecessarily compare stuff. 4 out of the last 5 supports have had AoE damage NPs, but this is the one suddenly everyone complained about being "not a pure support." The logic doesn't track.

    • @HerMi.T

      @@Cav829 because other aoe servants are different. infact, for tezcatlipoca aoe np fits perfectly for his kit.
      Also his np damage is actually quite good and become very high as you his np every turn or by overcharging his np.
      About support, which one has aoe damge np? proto merlin actually has supporting np instead.
      i think you mean summer skadi servant but she actually benefits from her damaging np actually.

    • @Cav829
      @Cav829 Год назад +6

      ​@@HerMi.T I said the last 5 supports. Tezcat is not a support. Koyan, Oberon, Proto, R. Skadi, and Joan are the last 5 supports, and all but Merlin have an AoE damage NP. As for who of all of that has the most useful, it is probably R. Skadi, but they all have their drawbacks. R. Skadi can just barely pull off an MLB BG loop, but it requires Bride. Joan honestly does pretty well for this group with two very wide niches and the cleanest BG looping experience, although lower NP1 damage if not hitting niches. There are tradeoffs for all four as they are not meant to be optimal loopers since they're already great supports. And to be fair, all four fair much better as multicore farmers than your primary DPS.
      Further, if they gave Joan an effects NP and turned her into a pure CQ support, she'd run into the same issue Miss Crane had where people skipped her as they don't see CQ exclusive supports as having enough value. To this day it's the thing everyone complains about Miss Crane. I fully believe giving her a damage NP was a reaction to Miss Crane as she's the first CQ/crit SSR support since her.

      ​@@Cav829 you missed one important thing. Oberon and Koyan are game changing servants that are extremely valuable for buster meta. ruler Skadi is upgrade of normal Skadi (quick goddess and saviour) that allows you to use triple Skadi setup. they are irreplaceable in what they do and have insane skills, so their nonexistent np doesn't matter, while Joan is nice, but not necessary in general and support np would give her more value.
      by the way I have a theory that all this new buster/quick meta supports have aoe damage np because devs wanted to nerf their potential. after they released absolutely imbalanced garbage (cashtoria) with cracked skills and even more broken np they decided to simply give useless np for every other support.

    • @lookingforlove839
      @lookingforlove839 Год назад +1

      @@Cav829 main issue i find with her is that, her arts crit is not that amazing, compared to units like skadi or Vitch because her other steroids are so low that even the 100% crit up isn't as cracked up as you think. Even if summer skadi and Vitch np are mostly useless, their skills itself is enough for the dps to hit like a truck. That arts crit buff would have made Protomerlin a lot better and would have helped arts a lot better, since she has a 50% arts buff. But it's on Johanna who has otherwise substandard steroids and long cooldowns. She is good, but she ain't bringing arts crit meta. If she had a support np or even if she had a np that also gives damage buffs to the team, she would be in a much better place.

Plus buster has the advantage of having a 50% damage up to the chain when you lead with it, something which arts doesn't have. So when you buster np, the following cards also hit harder. Also, her arts crits hurt way less than Quick or Buster's because her other steroids are pretty low. Anyway, her damage is pretty bad for a omnifarmer. If you are minturning, it is awkward to bring her just for crit, since you still need Oberon for minturning 90++ nodes.

    At the very least she does bring something unique with her Arts Crit utility. Moriarty also loses to Iyo in damage, but Joan does have her niches to bridge the gap a little when it comes to her being a DPS. Overall I think she’s all right. A decent addition to the roster.

    Honestly I like Joan's more for people who want her or want to fine tune their farming. I'm definitely in the minority fine with the arts aoe np because I disagree with everyone saying she'll be more talked about if she had a support np. Then she'll just be compared to Castoria like other full arts support had been. People will just find a way to complain eiher way.

  • @JaimeNyx15
    @JaimeNyx15 Год назад +1

    One interesting point of comparison with Joan's kit for me is that her 20% Arts bonus and 100% Arts crit up gives the exact same total damage bonus for Arts crits as OG Skadi's 50% Quick and 100% Quick crit up for Quick crits, since Quick is a weaker card than Arts. However, she needs two skills to get there whereas Skadi just needs one. And Skadi's total max card damage is superior if you incorporate her defense down and Joan's attack up, with the caveat that attack up is generally superior to defense down in most cases. I think Skadi is better overall because she gasses up Quick NPs way more with her skills than Joan, but it still seems like the devs were trying to achieve parity with OG Skadi's Quick card damage buffs specifically. Still, if that's what they were going for, I feel like they should have leaned into it by trying to support arts crits as much as possible rather than making her kit a weird mishmash of different skills and a damaging NP. There is basically no reason to keep her on the field because of her long cooldowns, yet her first skill requires her to stick around if you want the stars she provides. Not to mention that Ruler Skadi does the exact same thing as Joan but better for Buster card crits, and her NP hits harder if she goes full DPS. Pope Joan is in this weird middle ground that just doesn't make sense for most developed boxes to invest in most of the time, though on paper each of her skills are pretty great, save for the cooldowns.
