Could you explain why firesweep lance needs life and death or swift sparrow? I thought it was just a built in wary fighter and didnt need spd, or is this an instance only for that nephenee?
It’s not wary fighter. It stops them from counter attacking, so for example if that Nephenee attacks then no matter what the unit she fights can’t counter. However if they attack her she cannot counter.
So basically you never want to be in a place where you give the foe a free hit, and if you’re attacking a unit who can’t fight back, your defences are meaningless. So you want to boost your attack and speed as much as possible, to deal as much damage and double as much as you can.
Ideally you use fire sweep on squishy units anyway, or fliers. Since normally if you don’t ko the foe you use a retreat skill, then have someone finish them off.
Infact a super broken combo is Firesweep L + Hit and run + Guidance.
