Talk:Minamoto no Yorimitsu (Lancer)/@comment-198.48.194.169-20170901094440/@comment-33004214-20170902190639

Unless the stage has multiple class types you generally want to keep Lancers with other Lancers but bringing Avengers/Casters(aka Waver/Merlin rule the meta sadly)/Rulers/Berserkers/Assassins(Star Generators) should be fine I think. It all really depends on the stage + your box. The game's not that difficult to begin with so you have a lot of freedom to test things out. Play with whoever's most fun to be honest. You might end up finding good team synergies that no one knows about.

I worry about Nobu Berserker's survivability, however she does provide stars/heals per turn which is nice. It's a little weak unless at lvl 10 and not the greatest thing in the world though. Unless you have absurd amounts of stars your other servants will be absorbing all of them and leaving Nobu with little to work with. She'd need to pop her 3rd skill for that burst damage. Raikou can even buff her NP since it's buster based which is a plus. If you're intent on bringing Nobu on the frontlines then I suggest supporting both her and Mama with either an assassin or a caster equipped with a crit stars per turn CE. Merlin/Waver/Jack/Hans/Shakespeare are some ideas. There's plenty of players out there who put these servants with the 2030 CE so it shouldn't be that hard to find. Mind you I don't have Nobu Berserker so you take everything I said with a grain fo salt. lolol

I do have Lancelot Saber though. I don't recommend pairing him with Raikou. If you enter a stage full of Archers then he'd be in trouble. He only offers stars and no survivability to Mama which is what she really needs the most. I'd go with Jack instead since she builds ridiculous amount of stars like no other. She can also heal 2.5k every 4 turns at level 10 skill. Heck even Summer Scathach offers more utility than Lancelot with her taunt, damage reducer and heal. Her NP also builds a good amount of stars.

Raikou shines with supports that can offer her survivability + crit stars to work with. You also have to think about the backline too if you use Combat Suit. Random Examples: David can offer a 1 turn team evade/debuff/heal/party attack buff. Mashu can shield you/np gain/taunt. Someone paired with Golden Carp CE can offer 20 crit stars on demand. Liz Lancer can be switched to the front and offer party/female attack buff and lower the enemy's defense.

Hope that made any sense.
