## Skill comparison

**Attack Skill**

* Arthur throws his shield, which passes through everything visible in front of him, *then it returns to him*. This does mean it can hit the same target twice.
* The attack gains 100 percentage points of damage per weapon tier. For example, a 4-star weapon does 500% damage. If the attack hits the same target twice, that's a lot of damage!

**Ultimate skill**

* A bunch of rocks pop up in front of Arthur, covering about 70% of the screen.
* This is a lot of little hits, and it doesn't really travel as the squad walks. It does fairly reliable damage to bosses and players.

**Passive skill**

* Arthur blocks one attack from a boss.
* This probably won't help you much, if you ever notice it at all, but it could theoretically preserve your 3-Star mission bonus in the first 40 chapters.
* It doesn't seem to work against Raid bosses or Kingdom Defense bosses, it doesn't help against players and it doesn't help in the second world. This is a very, *very* limited power, sadly.

## Game Mode Comparison

**Difficult Adventures or Challenges**

* Pros:
	+ The Passive skill seems to be meant for helping with 3-Star completions in the first 40 chapters.
	+ The Shield Throw can *really* hurt bosses, and it helps clear normal enemies too.
	+ Regular attacks pierce through to hit multiple enemies.
	+ Arthur-only gear focuses on attack cancellation, which is ideal for 3-Star completions in the first 40 chapters.
	+ The Ultimate does have the potential for heavy damage against bosses.
* Cons:
	+ The Passive skill does little in the first 40 chapters and nothing in the second world, plus it doesn't seem to help against Raid bosses or Kingdom Defense bosses.
	+ Attack cancellation is much less desirable in the second world.
* Overall value: **Average** then **High** then **Average**

**Easy Adventures or Challenges (for farming, grinding, or daily quests)**

* Pros:
	+ Regular attacks pierce through to hit multiple enemies.
	+ The Shield Throw can speed up boss fights.
* Cons:
	+ The Passive skill doesn't speed up clearing.
	+ Arthur-only gear doesn't speed up clearing--if Chiyome is in the party, or if some characters get a damage bonus when attacked, it will actually slow you down!
	+ Arthur doesn't easily clear away enemies that are not directly in front of him.
* Overall value: **Low**

**Duels**

* Pros:
	+ Shield Throw *hurts*, and it has two chances to hit.
	+ The Ultimate Skill is difficult to completely dodge.
* Cons:
	+ Arthur-only gear doesn't help much against players.
	+ No Passive skill.
* Overall value: **Average**
