It's funny how the devs basically gave a watered down version of Stormblood AST and took all the fun out of it.

The card effects are such a joke.

Arrow's healing buff on a ST??

Spire being a a small shield is also another joke.

Ewer at the very least is a regen that is mildly helpful.

Like they reworked AST so much to delete whatever DNA stormblood gave us, only to circle back to how it was before and managing to give us the worst version of AST.

At that point, why not give us Royal Road back? Are they really that scared of AoE Balance?

They could just make it so that Balance and Spear are only Extended or Enhanced. Everything else can be Spread.

Arrow could literally be crit buff again or even direct hit/determination.

The RNG of the cards is already gone so why not just give us back Royal Road since they could just make Spread, Extend, Enhance regular CDs.
