How do you see holmes in the next years? I'm kinda new to the game and i love the character, but idk he is worth investing for late game n fun purposes

[@o3o7c3]

I think it depends on how you want to use him ( ´ ∀ ` )ﾉ If you really enjoy his gameplay as a dps then go ahead and fully invest in him, but for most people he's a niche challenge quest-oriented support unit who sees absolutely no use in farming. Despite that, he is still the only unit in the game to this day who fills his particular niche (granting partywide ignore invul+defense). In that regard, he's capable of enabling some unique challenge quest runs here and there but his preferred role* as a support hasn't changed at all over the years and I don't see it ever changing. *It is often beneficial to keep him at lvl 1 so that he can use his s1 and np and die as quickly as possible to allow another servant to enter the field, but even that hinges on you owning a kscope. You can always borrow holmes from friend/follow support to try him out and decide later what you want to do with your own copy. TLDR he is nice to have for the occasional cq but definitely not a priority to level. Though if you do decide to invest in him out of love for his character, I don't think you'll be disappointed :3

@@o3o7c3 But which partners are good for him as a dps? Proto merlin and Pope Johan will be good paired with him?

[@o3o7c3]

@@MinecrafTado Oh for sure, since holmes’ own kit is burst oriented and he struggles with long term survivability. Together, proto merlin and johanna provide multi-turn offensive and defensive buffs and passive star gen, which fill in his gaps. Since neither are on NA yet, the next best bet is castoria/skadi/casgil (anyone who can provide multi-turn offensive buffs) and merlin. I like to pair him with van gogh because together they can double dps and produce funny crit numbers (´∀｀)
