How useful is slow at himes? When I stop training there I'll have charge maxed anyway.


I meant 2-3 'chains',

normal attack + double + triple + final toss is 5 combos per 'chain' (hit) right?

You'll outdamage a fenrir before ice build by far with the ice before fenrir build because critical's power and frequency are only at their peak when your combo is 100+.
Really, the only reason fenrir is maxed is because whirlwind sucks and fenrir is just barely useful when you're going to lose your combo anyways (like at skeles/wyverns on the bottom panel or at Oblivion when you have to climb a rope and rebuff).
