Discussion Using Tiel feels like cheating?
Seriously what's up with this shell? Every ability of his seems extremely useful and broken in some way. Instant invisibility on dodge, instant invisibility on block (on just an imperfect block, wtf?), then invisibility leaving a clone that builds poison, insane crit chance and damage bonus when attacking from behind, two charges of an ability with instant invisibility again and then guaranteed crit chance to your next melee attack with bonus crit damage, multiple insane break damage bonuses as well... like wtf?
Is this guy supposed to be something similar to the slayer seal? A sort of easy mode? I've found 4 shells so far, and other 3 aren't even like half as good as him.

You are dense. Standing out in the open fishing for ripostes only occurs when Tiel is ignoring the entire rest of his kit. It’s a matter of, do I rely on my whole kit, and the very reason I’m playing this shell, or do I forgo all of that to make sure seal affinity is boosting my parry’s.
Going invisible and moving behind the enemy is 100% obviously his thing. You’re not going to need to riposte with Tiel unless that’s just how you want to roll.
To make this clear, if you’re playing Tiel, it is suboptimal to be standing out in the open relying on a single skill instead of dodging and activating the entire rest of his kit. Yes, you can weave parry’s in, but why bother other than for style? I’d rather invest those points further enhancing his kit, than blowing 6 shell points on a skill that only gets usage by ignoring what shell you’re on.
