It's an honor just to be nominated. Even Shirabe, the worst Symphogear, is a great Symphogear.

Shirabe's ultimate attack is transforming into a giant robot so she's in no way the worst Symphogear.

Worst Symphogear is clearly Fine.

Fine didn't actually have a Symphogear. She was wearing the same Nehushtan Armor that Chris did before she had to purge it and pull out Ichiaval to not lose, just in a more complete form.

Oh, I thought the armour was a relic.

Worst Symphogear was Carol then. Her harp thing was like an actual symphogear right? She even had songs.

Symphogears are made from incomplete relic fragments as far as I know. Durandal was complete. Maybe nehushtan too?

And Carol's stuff was alchemy. They have Faust robes, not Symphogears.

Everyone's good though.

It was a relic, but not a Symphogear. I don;t count Staff of Solomon or Durandal either. For my money, Symphogear is 'singing + relic + arm pose during transformation'.

So by that standard Carol counts, letting Shirabe roll under the bar of 'worst symphogear'... this time.

All Symphogears are relic fragments but not all relics are Symphogears. Solomon's Cane was a relic but nobody would say Ver was a Symphogear because he could use it. Fine probably could have had a Symphogear if she wanted(she invented the drat things, after all), but she specifically wanted the complete Nehushtan because it pretty much grants immortality if you can utilize it to its fullest and she probably believed she was so close to her goal she didn't need to reincarnate anymore.

Carol's Daurdabla was a "Faust Robe", which appears to be some sort of bastardized Symphogear ripoff powered by alchemy(specifically the memory burning style Carol used) instead of phonic gain. She just figured out how to add phonic gain on top of that somehow, presumably because she spent a ton of time studying the symphogears because she needed them to do the Ignite Module thing to finish the Chateau. The new alchemists in this season are also using Faust Robes, though they've been talking about them using the Philosopher's Stone as a power source to "nullify impurities"(such as the spooky magic of the Dainsleif), so they probably don't have the drawbacks Daurdabla did.

From Zoid's translation of the keywords:

Symphogear AXZ on Faust Robes posted:

This is a protector armor that is transmuted via alchemic techniques utilizing a large amount of energy. In this sense it can be thought of as a twin of the Symphogear system. The biggest difference between the two, is that a Faust Robe does not require an Activation Chant to be used. The Faust Robes worn by Saint Germain, Cagliostro and Prelati are all sourced from the Lapis Philosophicus, however it has been especially tuned to each of their unique needs and fighting styles. The capabilities of their Faust Robes are beyond impressive and not only surpass a regular Symphogear but can even suppress the power of the Ignite Module which is supposed to be an ace in the hole.

Somehow I didn't realize until last episode that Prelati's weapon is a giant ball and cup toy.

I'm going to be very disappointed if her final form isn't catching the ball on the spike.

gently caress it, I'm just going to make up my own subs.


HIBIKI: So, Maria, do you like Tsubasa?
MARIA: No. I only like DR VER.
TSUBASA: Indeed. Only DR VER is worthy of affection.
KIRIKA: Dess! (Translator's note: Dess means 'DR VER')

I think I hit all the basic points.

This timeline doesn't deserve more Symphogear, I guess.

What's everyone's favorite character song of the season? So far, my favorite A-side is Maria's: Stand Up! Ready!!, and my favorite B-Side is Hibiki's: Hanasaku Yuuki.

I didn't care for Chris or Tsubasa's as much as usual this season. I didn't know it was possible for music to be Chuuni, but Kirika's have proved me wrong.

id have it no other way, being disappointing and kind of lame is more interesting than her being a Powerful Serious Rival or whatever, though its getting hard to tell how much of her lameness is intentional. definitely some of it, but.

I don't mind her being incompetent, I mind her just being kind of boring. Like even in fluff/comedy bits she doesn't have a very strong personality to go on. Hibiki's Pacifist Goku, Miku's In Love, Chris is an edgelord who's bad at being edgy, Tsubasa is A Sword, Kirika and Shirabe are adorable chuuni girlfriends, Maria is...just kind of huffy.
