Talk:(Attuned) Shadow Banisher Sraosha/@comment-5656531-20130101183442

When I first started using Sraosha, it was awesome. If he blocks the first hit from the boss, that means the entire front line can attack again for free. In other words, double damage! And what's more, by blocking an attack, Sraosha gives other raid skill cards another chance to activate. For me, it is very satisfying to see the boss get blocked, then Loki immediately activating after that.

But after using him for some time, here are some counter points:

He can only activate once per battle. The chance of activating is higher than Butler or Scorpioness, but still lower than other raid cards like Gilgamesh or Ninlil. Only one card can activate per round of battle. So if let's say Loki activates first, Sraosha cannot block during that round. He must wait until the next round. Even at skill 8, the activation rate has not increased by a dramatic amount. Skill 10 maybe?
