so crazy how finally finishing things you were obliged to do but putting off makes you feel better and actually motivated to do things again

Oh my GOD ALTAIR

I only had his Holiday version, which is good for supports and debuffs but I admit I never looked twice at him

WHERE WERE YOU HIDING ALL THIS

EHEHEH GOTCHA.

God i wanted his holiday unit so bad when it came out, i'm an Altair truther through and through, they just aren't doing anything with this character!!

also his VA also voices Poseidon so this is something that needs to be mentioned because, that man's range.

But they barely ever did anything with his character except an event in 2020, The Art Of Mercy, that was supposed to set up Speaker Lore and then they never came back on it. The nerves.

I got Altair is one of my first unit (he's my 7th SSR unit, and it involves 2 sidestories character, so he's my 5th gacha ssr) and he carried me so much when i was baby because back in the days Relic Buster didn't exist and if you wanted to have a full burst on first turn, you had very little options, and i had cheesed a set up with Aglovale's sword as main hand on Chrysaor + its CA boosting skills, Aglovale, and Altair that got me a full burst on first turn on my water team. It legit carried my early days. Now his unit is pretty much obsolete, but i'll always remember him.

He's very cool, he has a manipulative edge as you can imagine from being a genius war tactician, but he uses it mostly to avoid casualties. He also officially retired from being a war tactician, but he often gets lured in into being an advisor to some conflit by people telling him "please help us win this war and we'll give you books about ancient lore". He's a nerd. Mister "i'm not manipulating anyone. .... unless you have books."

Shura, who appears in the wday lines, is the general from a country Altair used to serve, but has left a long while ago. In the Art of Mercy, her country calls for Altair's help and he concedes to it in order to access Creation Lore Books.

For the record his wings are because he heard of the Primarches when they were just legends but he admired this idea of benevolent power so much he gave himself fake wings to remember that the power he has as a strategist should be used for balance instead. or something like that, it's been years since i last read this bit lol.

Now that i think about it, Altair appeared in the latest Sauna event. But his only involvement was about how he was one of the guy who was stuck fully naked in the bath with Deliford because they didn't know it would be a mixed gender pool day.

here he is, next to Sandalphon.

so yeah Granblue doesn't do much with him because he's an old character and they don't know what to do with him, but i keep begging for him to get relevant again. He's fun.

So glad the wday homelines brought some eyes on him ;D one day maybe they'll bring back he's the only fucker of the ship who knows that "Helel Ben Shalem" is the name of the Right Hand of God. Because they fucking dropped that in Art of Mercy and NEVER acknowledged it again. And not even the latest event have anyone realize Shalem and Sahar are Speakers. Altair start fucking speaking--
