@FrankenKantai Why do you persist in trying to promote star generation for her, even to the point of bringing in an Arts support in your example? 4 measly stars on Quick are not even remotely worth the support switch. Scathach has always been a Boss-Killer, a Nuke. You are trying to patch up her weaknesses but at the same time that makes you unable to play her strenghts.

Skadi is, right now, the best possible (dmg-)support for any quick servant. Saying that she does not provide anything new is simply ignorant. 50%quick and -30%deff(which translates into 30%atk) is quite a bit more powerful than what Waver could give her. And saying that Scathach is below average is also untrue. She has one of the strongest NPs in the game, which was setoff by having bad NP/star-gen and became somewhat crippling due to break bars. But with Skadi it has become possible to use her NP consecutive times, which can allow for up to 3 bars in 3 turns (CS cheese) with the added point of possible stuns. That is more than most Servants can boast. It may not be a fun tactic, but it stands strong.

And what I said about passive star generators was mostly in regards to Friend Supports, where you'll find all that and more. If you are able to field 2030 yourself ever the better.

Thing is, DW is unlikely going to change hit-counts/NP/star-gen of fear of breaking the balance on such a strong Nuker. What we can expect is maybe a small NP-gauge fill, more turns on buffs, or maybe doing away with the rnd on her 1st skill.
