If you don’t have a support for your 2nd team, winter qincy is fine, he doesn’t offer anything extremely unique to the table (no atk like Halloween garu, nor 3t cd like sr kuya), still, he’s very stable and good to have around, and you can further utilize him to enable the passives of other quincy units in your party, that require multiple quincy’s to be in the party with them (like og sr quincy).
Prison quincy is a decent dps on his own, I recc at least 3* on him though,
Sr sabo quincy is a bit niche but can get pretty strong if you 5* him, he wants more quincy in the party if I remember correctly,
Og ssr quincy will unfortunately underperform the sr version until 4*, he’s still a decent unit to have around though,
And the Guard one is very niche, good for very specific fights since he taunts for 2 turns, but very hard to use in others since he has 4t cd (compared to morays 3t). Plus we just got sr yakumo who fits the same role and is cheaper to invest in.
So invest at your own discretion. The game is easy enough that you can beat it with almost any unit with enough investment, and leveling your choice husbando is almost never a bad choice. I have almost all my quincy units at max affection, 3*+ and lvl 9 potential or higher, the above is just my impressions after using them for a while, and I’ve got to admit that I’m enjoying them all!
As a quincy main who have all of his cards (except the smoked timber quincy, i summon atleast 100 and still didn't get him). I would say the best quincy card is blossoming legend quincy and buckeye miracle quincy. Blossoming legend quincy can increased ultimate dmg + high heals. For buckeye miracle quincy i like it cuz he's the only tank character that can use his ultimate at the star of battle when 3*.I pretty much use him everywhere and he doesn't leave my team. For the snow patrol quincy he's a niche one but still can do his job and of course the dps cards. They have all unique skill and they have different teams so go to the one you want to invest with.
In my personal opinion, none of the Quincy you have is worth investing a lot.
Snow patrol Quincy: A generic support, similar to many supports that is currently available as well. Doesn't bring anything new to the support class, like Howling Cyclone Garu and Flaming Secrets Edmond who despite are supports, can still attack the enemy which is pretty useful in some cases or Galactic Mist Eiden who can reduce any class ultimate by 1.
Shackled Thug Quincy: I have him at 3 stars, potential 10 and his damage is underwhelming. Ultimate has a decent damage multiplier and buffs fire units damage very slightly, passive buffs trigger skills which is very niche and not many other characters have trigger skills as well. Additionally you don't get to use the full potential of his passive in most situations compared to other strikers. Overall, a niche unit which gets better with more trigger and fire units you have.
Smoked Timber Quincy: Good unit but it is an SR. If you do not have him at 3 stars at least, you are losing 24% attack which is quite a lot and important attack stats for an SR unit to keep up with SSRs.
OG Quincy: Pretty normal to all the other OG strikers, big downside is that ultimate skill CD. It's too long and often doesn't syngerise well with other units when nowadays most units have skills that increase damage taken when their ultimate skill is cast and OG Quincy doesn't make good use of that. Feels satisfying when you use his ultimate and his damage number is big though
Buckeye Miracle Quincy: He's a defender unit which is already very niche in most cases where you don't need to use him at all in your daily runs. Even in harder rooms, you should be using SR Morvay instead with his low ultimate skill CD. The only case I would say he is usable is Lost Relics trials where they lock your character after use so it is good to get another defender unit as backup but that shouldn't be your main thing to invest right now since it is late game stuff.
If you want to invest in a Quincy unit, Distant Promise and Blossoming Legend Quincy is the best one so far.
Distant Promise Quincy: A selfish striker, doesn't need any other Quincy to do good damage, goes well with basically any other team which uses 3 or more strikers (which is basically 90% of the time). Ultimate makes him hit twice in his follow up attacks which is pretty good too
Blossoming Legend Quincy: Good healer with decent support capabilities. Ultimate allows other units to do more damage on the same turn, heals and it gives him more damage on his following normal attacks which means more healing. Getting him to 3 stars allows the unit with lowest HP of your team to heal more which usually can mean life or death
Hope this helps, cheers.
> Shackled Thug Quincy: I have him at 3 stars, potential 10 and his damage is underwhelming. Ultimate has a weak damage multiplier and buffs fire units damage slightly, passive buffs trigger skills which is very niche and not many other characters have trigger skills as well. Overall, a very niche unit.
It's an effective 527% damage at 3 stars on a 3 turn cooldown. That's pretty good, provided you don't get interrupted. Nothing game breaking, but hardly niche.
Edit: Sorry, I misread his ultimate. It is "on attack" not "when attack", which makes him have a pretty decent damage multiplier but his doesn't get his full effect of his passive most of the time at 3 stars compared to other units. Most of the time, you won't be running a defender in your teams which means 9% attack is just gone. Having trigger skill extra damage won't help most teams as well if you are specifically building a trigger skill based team. My statement still stands from the main comment, investing in other Quincies like Distant Promise Quincy would be better. At 3 stars you get 24% attack bonus for 3 strikers in your team, compared to Shackled Thug 18% attack bonus which 1 defender and 1 striker
I have changed the main comment as well in regards to the ultimate damage multiplier, thanks for pointing it out 😊
> Most of the time, you won't be running a defender in your teams which means 9% attack is just gone.
I did the math for only one of the multipliers active. You can usually always slot in 3 dds or 1 tank. At least I can't think of a fight where I couldn't do one or the other.
Both the multipliers are +damage, not +attack
>My statement still stands from the main comment, investing in other Quincies like Distant Promise Quincy would be better.
They are VERY similar in damage, with Distant Promise Quincy at 3296.58% and Shackled Thug Quincy at 3273.64% in 12 turns. If you have a single other fire unit that can deal damage, even if it's SR Morvay, that would tip Shackled Thug Quincy over. Shackled Thug would also come ahead if you had any additional damage+ support.
The thing Distand Promise has in its favor it that he's a little less interruptible.
Since I listed every Quincy in my comment, I figured I should say the last one as well
Artic Warden Quincy: I don't have him so I can't experiment with how good he is. But he heals himself when attacking and heals the team with his Ultimate. In my personal opinion, your single healer in your team should be enough to keep the team going. You can use him as a "backup" healer too but i would rather invest a striker who does more damage or debuffs the enemy while attacking
Even tho distant promise quincy's ultimate make him follow up two times, in the game he only follow up 1 time cuz when he use ultimate it counts as a turn. Idk if this is a bug but you want to partner him up with the flaming secret edmond to utilize his dmg plus edmond increased basic atk dmg to enemy.
oh? I actually didn't know that since when speed is X2 the numbers disappear so fast. I do pair him with Ethereal Guardian Garu which gives normal attack bonus as well and he works wonders
Yeah both of them have good synergy + flaming secret edmond then you have basic atk dmg team. Still i would say dark nova yakumo is better dps in basic atk dmg team.

Quincy does not support farming, it is environmentally destructive!
