1/ The Kick stat is not useless for a Libero. Like what I’ve already stated in my counter against Leo down there, the role of a Libero is different from a Defender, it’s more like an All-rounder’s role. Blocking and stealing the ball aren’t the only things that Liberos can do, they must also have a good striking ability in order to help the team’s offense and even score sometimes. The same goes for the Dribbling stat, it is needed for a Libero as well. I don’t quite understand your point about the “half or the own penalty” and “digging grave” thing either, but the truth is Liberos join the offense much more frequently than the usual DFs do. So, your point about these 2 stats being useless is invalid.

2/ Fire Tornado TC might be stronger than Floral Despair, but it costs too much TP for someone who is more likely to suits with a defensive role than a scoring role like Kinako. Even if her TP is much higher than Fran’s, using this hissatsu too often will reduce her chances of using blocking hissatsu, thus making her not any better than Fran at all. Unless you place Kinako as a Forward, Fire Tornado TC is not recommended, not to mention that Kinako’s Kick stat isn’t that high either.

3/ I admit that Kourin no Ya can be used more often than Mystic Thorn, but you must remember that KP also decreases slowly each time you have a Keshin battle. Not only does Chaos have a stronger attack than Amaterasu, but it also has more KP than Amaterasu does. Kourin no Ya can only be used 4 times if Amaterasu doesn’t happen to face any Keshin battle during the whole time it is activated, and I don’t think that’s an easy thing to do, right? Whereas for Chaos, having 1 or 2 keshin battles doesn’t affect the three chances of using Mystic Thorn at all, that’s why I said that Fran’s Keshin is much more handy and effective than Kinako’s.

4/ As I said up there, Shooting is as important as Defending for a Libero. So, while Kinako got herself some monstrous blocking abilities, Fran also got herself some monstrous attacking abilities, it’s not useless at all. Also, like I said, Chaose Meteor is evolved into Gx, which mean that its power will become nearly equal with Fire Tornado TC. This difference in power is nothing, since Fran’s Kick stat is much higher; not to mention that all of her shoot hissatsu cause a heavy damage on the keeper’s Shibire gauge, thus making him break faster and make it easier for the other FWs to score, that’s also a big role of a Libero.
