Duke Knight's Momentum is up for revision? Which version of the skill would you prefer?

Current one, unchanged.
+4 AS and +5 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.
+2 AS and +3 DMG on Player Phase, with additional +2 AS and +2 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.
+1 AS and +1.5 DMG for each space moved up to 4 spaces.
Current one but AS bonus is converted to DR from the end of the Player Phase until the next one.
I don't know but I want to see the results.

I'm less concerned about the Crit/DG contribution overall, as its one of the only places to get it in appreciable amounts. But the damage, hit, and evasion are pretty impressive in terms of what you can get.

I would like to see a move away from values that aren't whole numbers though, just because it means some combinations are pretty bad because they lose a chunk of their value. If I were to rebalance Affinities based on my own sense of where things ought to be (without changing how the system works, per se), it would look something like...

Fire: +3 Hit, +5 Crit
Wind: +3 Hit, +3 Eva, +3 Crit
Dark: +3 Eva, +5 Crit
Heaven: +3 Hit, +5 DG
Earth: +3 Hit, +3 Eva, +3 DG
Thunder: +3 Eva, +5 DG
Water: +5 Crit, +5 DG
Anima: +1 DAM
Ice: +1 DEF
Light: +1RES


So what we get is, in addition to an overall reduction in power, an expulsion of cases in which pairing certain affinities together is suboptimal at all ranks but B.

Level 5: Lightning, I suppose (RIP Druidic Magic)

The new Alpha Strike: +3 DMG and +10 Crit against enemies at full HP will be the Mercenary's skill from now on.

Now it's time to look at Duke Knight's Momentum: For every 2 spaces traversed, the Duke Knight gains a +1 AS bonus and a +2 DMG bonus. This bonus resets to 0 at the end of their turn, even if they haven't made an attack. This forces the Duke Knight to use their full MOV to charge in to make the most out of it. There's some alternate skills that offer bonuses without leaving them in the middle of the fray with nothing.

As noted above, the primary issue with Momentum as it currently exists is that it endangers the user pretty badly if you want to get the most out of it, since you don't have leftover mov with which to meaningfully withdraw when you commit to an attack. The options above address that issue in two distinct ways: lower the requirements to get value out of Momentum, thus leaving more movement to play with afterward, or giving a different bonus afterward to mitigate the risk the Duke Knight prevents to themselves.

I favor the latter. Any of the other options that follow the principle of the first solution do solve the problem of capacity for withdrawal, but also lower the barrier for maximum power on Momentum, making the turn to turn offensive power of it much greater.

Maybe convert all or some of the bonus damage into DR or Evasion on the enemy phase?

The option to convert the AS bonus to DR after the DK's phase ends wins!

Then it's memory magic and after that only fluff remains to be done.

Technically, he could score two achievements; for completing a FEF, and for longest-running FEF.

CONGRATURATONS! A WINNER IS YOU!
