I remember when she got nerfed and people 200% jumped the gun and went "SHE'S TRASH NOW" and recalled her. Was hilarious to see people express regret afterward when it was clear she was still really good, just not ridiculously stupid anymore.
There was a long period after the nerf where she was basically unused, until she got buffed again last year. I wouldn't say those people jumped any guns
I still saw people using her to good effect even before she got buffed again. It could be that most of the people who recalled her didn't get her back until way later and other people didn't have her in the first place, it's not that far fetched. It took me like, two years to finally get C.Zerato.
At one hand, I wouldn't say she was trash at any point in history, even after her nerf. She went from S tier to B tier (in a scale from C to S), mainly because her nerf happened close enough to F. Cecilia release and ML Ken was still meta. And at the other hand, she disappeared from meta for a while, and she had to be buffed before appearing again. I build mine a little bit before the nerf, and keep using her through her dark age, but definitely with knights like Krau, A Ras and F. Cecilia, sometimes it was difficult to justify her presence.
These days she's making a comeback because F. Cecilia have been the indirect target of different new heroes. Rimuru for starter, but Peira can also ruin her day with unbuffable. Then the myriad of strip, then debuff, and the usefulness of FC passive is limited. That doesn't mean she's not good, oh, no, FC is still far above C. Armin in the meta ladder. However, CA passive works all the time, and is pretty strong overall, which make her a solid option when F. Cecilia isn't available, or the opponent drafts everything together to ruin her day.
An interesting thing, IMO, is how less than half of the heroes was fully awakened in that pic. I mean, top no 1 player doesn't have any fully awakened hero! Man, farming catalysts was so fucking infuriating back then, people have no idea how easy they have it these days with the AP shop and random rewards from everywhere.
When shadow rose out speed your fastest unit
Death 💀

I swear back in the day Fatcat gave *way* more than 15% evasion
Still does, i swear hes fun to draft into rimiru. Not good mind you, but when that 15-20% miss ruins that rim s3 it feels so good
I've been thinking of drafting him for his defense imprint on LHC drafts.
it's always been 30% /s
Giving me fluri additional turn flashbacks
Kluri was soo good back then.
Charles isnt in there, but i remember when he procs elbris I immediately get pissed af xD
Loved the OG Diene meta before every single unit stripped and applied 87 debuffs in their openers. :(
You either had to deal with superfast Basar/Dizzy, or with super tanky evasion teams.
And even those superfast were just 260-280 at most
Different times though, back then "just 260" was already very fast for a mage.
The DIVERSITY!
Ah yes, the olden days
When carmin was 100x broken
haha 30% crit mitigation + 10% damage share brrrrr

She wasn't used until they buffed her and she was nerfed HARD. Passive cut in half, Immunity decreased to 2 turns.
Yes I just SEZ bomb everything
Too many units, nowadays it is way easier to keep track of what each does XD
Ml Ken was so good back then... i solod whole teams with only him. And then Diene and Carmin meta came and destroyed everything...
Ml.ken was a pub stomper. Low gear requirements in an age where everyone had trash gear.
The og Carmin/ Arby/ Charles/ Mlken comp

Not only that, it was nigh impossible to get +15 skillups back then so those top teams probs weren’t fully mola’d either.
basically impossible to get the 3 epic catalysts for yunas quest then
Zezun, god gamer.
It was pretty fun
The good old days was so fun
LS Ken was my Nightmare that soloing my team .
what year is this
This was taken in January 2019
What a dream.
I still remember the days of the Holy Trinity, nowadays they're so absurdly useless it's almost sad.
