So, i need you guys to follow my thought here regarding Rinka's Distant Foil ...
It says: "If sword, lance, axe, bow, dagger or beast foe initiates combat, grants Atk/Def +5 to unit during combat and unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range."
Means, she can basically only distant counter against dagger or bow since everything else doesn't attack from range 2. Leaving her for a majority of the fights against non-magic units with a worse Sturdy Stance. Why worse? It doesn't even work against dragons, as she isn't even getting the +5 Atk in-combat because dragons bypass Distant Foil ... not that the Def buff would help her in this case.
You followed so far, yes? Good. Is it me, or is this skill ... kinda useless? At least compared to Midori's Close Foil, which is pretty much a better Close Counter.
Close Foil pretty much triggers against everything but dragons that do melee damage.
Well ... i hope we're getting some 2 range swords, axes and lances soon enough, else i can't see anyone really wanting or unsing Distant Foil. I mean, Distand Ward is a better skill for improved DC, and even that isn't too hot as skill fodder.
Lilith is super focused on a support partner, huh? Well that can lead to some shenanigans in AR. I think she lives or dies by her stats.

Forrest ... well at least player now know how Leo feels about him.
Not a fan of Rinka's art though. Good that they made her buff, but they should've toned it down with the boobs and the skimpy bandages.
Best FE teacher is of course: TITANIA!
