Everyone needs a revamp except Karok and staff Evie because melee is pretty much broken at this point.
Despite Sword Lann having Slip Dash, they can't dodge a lot of things just because of stupid hitboxes and/or sheer monster size. Double Crescent also takes an obscene amount of stamina relative to the amount of damage it deals, compared to almost any other class.
Spear Lanns can't dodge worth crap and have to rely on their party members to draw attention away from the Lanns so they don't die. Or DEF stacking, which is another issue.
Scythe Evies have literally no burst damage, and this game is all about burst damage now.
Hammer Fiona is only OK because of the sheer power in her smashes.
Sword Fiona is mediocre at best. Hammer Fiona is almost, if not just as safe, as sword nowadays, and hammer is infinitely better than sword with a small shield. And that's assuming you can even use a small shield in a raid (apparently not even large shields offer any real protection against a certain episode 10 raid boss). Most importantly, the shield system for Fiona is gimped to hell since devcat doesn't like Fionas being able to actually counter anything.
