smiting a galeforcer into sigurd

See. That's the thing. I have no Galeforce available. I haven't pulled a Cordelia in like 3 months, and the only fodder I had (funnily enough, -atk Brave Roy) went to Naesala instead because building favorites > countering crappy PvP for me. Even

On the other hand, a +24 blade tome goad stacked giganino with three move and immunity from panic thanks to a rally dance chain is pretty threatening.

Yeah... or throw Deirdre in her path. Nino with no buffs is barely a unit. That being said, I can understand her being rough if you just don't use/own Deirdre, and if Flying Nino/equivalent green bird is running Watersweep it changes things, but it takes a setup like this to actually kill my Deirdre, and that's assuming Deirdre has no buffs herself. Although a QP/Moonbow build would also kill, I haven't seen that in AR yet - something for me to consider though.
