Showdown! Camus Versus Berkut!

•~~•~~•~~•~~•

    Hello, and welcome to my first Showdown Post! This is probably going to be a new series depending on how often I do this. This time, I'd like to cover Berkut and Camus. With the new FEH Channel, Camus is finally coming back. Its hard to debate who is better, but I've come to help make an informed decision on who you should use. Anyways, lets get into it!

This is probably my most lengthy post! Heres a Guide:

•Round 1: Stats

•Round 2:Base Kits

•Mass Battle Simulation

•Camus V Berkut (Mass Battle)

•Camus V Berkut

•Final Results

•Closing Statements

•~~•~~•~~•~~•

Round 1: Stats

Both blue cavaliers have similar stats. Berkut has +1 Hp/+2 Atk/+7 Res higher than Camus. Camus on the other hand has +11 Spd higher than Berkut. Both Cavaliers have the same 31 Def, and BST of 154

Berkut's stats indicate he is very defensive. He can act as a good mage bait and physical bait. He also has enough Atk to run Brave Lance+ Death Blow. His tanking ability is heavily affected by his Spd however, as he is prone to more doubles.

Camus trades all of Berkut's stats for Spd. While less tanky, he can reach Spds high enough to avoid doubles. His low Atk slightly forces him to stick to his main weapon.

Winner

The winner for round 1 goes to Camus. While less tanky, he can Spd Guard. Spd is a very useful stat to have, and it can greatly affect a unit's tanking ability and offensive capability.

Round 2: Base Kits

Both Units have exclusive skills. Berkut has Water Boost and Berkut's Lance+. Camus has the exclusive skill Grani's Shield.

Berkut's Lance, when refined, is an amazing weapon. It is great foe making mixed bulk units such as Oboro and more. Its +7 Res effect makes magic tanking easier. Water Boost is a less impressive skill. Boost skills are not that good to begin with, due to the health requirement. Water Boost is not worth using on any unit, because there are better A skills you can use to tank such as Distant Def.

Grani's Shield is a very niche skill. It cancels the effective against bonus on cavalry units. Camus could use this skill to tank units such as Micaiah or Gray. His other skills can be found on other units, but is not worth foddering Camus for

Winner

The winner for this round is Berkut. Berkut has better skills that are worth having. They can work well for him and other units. Grani's Shield is a good skill, but is very situational. When building Camus, you more than likely will not use it.

Round 3: Mass Battles

For mass battles, we used the unit's base kits. No stat buffs, or extra skills were used when doing the battle simulation.

Berkut's match ups are not very impressive. Most of his match ups are left incomplete. He can't 1 round kill and will lose more than win. Even as a defensive unit, he can't tank much.

Camus' match ups are great. His Gradivus allows for counter attack regardless of distance. This puts him above Berkut automatically.

Winner

Camus wins this round thanks to his DC weapon and better Spd tanking. Berkut's low Spd makes him get doubled, and miss kills. His mage tanking abilities are also hindered, as he did not have refine.

Round 4: Camus Versus Berkut Part 1

I put the two units in the mass battle simulation again, but with what I consider thier best builds. I used mainly Skill Inheritance and Summoner . No Blessings were used in this, and no Fortify/Hone.

Camus +3

Gradivus

(Flexible)

Bonfire

Fury 3

Vantage 3

Goad Cavalry

Quick Reposte 3

Camus can reach 38 Spd. This makes his offense and defense potential great. With built in DC on his weapon, he can use his A Slot for Fury. Vantage and QR make a great combo for double tanking.

Berkut +4

Berkut's Lance (Res)

(Flexible)

Bonfire

Distant Counter

Quick Reposte 3

Def Ploy

Distant Def 3

Berkut's Lance makes Berkut's use of DC very well. He can definetly tank more mages than Camus. Berkut can't do well on the offensive due to his low Spd. His Spd can help in a way, as it can help him proc Bonfire in a single round of combat.

Winner

Camus wins due to his better Offense/Defense ratio. While Berkut has a slightly higher Defensive win Match Ups, Camus just has an extremely high defense win rate.

[BCUFinal Result

In conclusion, both units have different niches. Berkut is a decent blue cavalier if you invest into him. He falls short to Camus due to his SC weapon. Berkut makes great use of DC, but Camus can have a free A Slot because of his amazing Weapon. So the final Verdict-

Camus Wins!
