For today's boss tactics, we dissect Nigel's team with another **Zero RNG Sweep**

Instead of a long breakdown of what's annoying about his team, I want to try just listing the main insights:

*  Bow of Swiftness is still GOATed for any Dark Marquess boss fight
   * No need to talk about Nigel's skills when he's stunned for the rest of the fight
* Archers with Healing Hunter (Inquisitor, Interrogator's Bow) salivate when facing teams with Flying units and healers
* The tanks (Nigel and the Feathershields) will not activate cover if your current target has <100% HP, since the Featherstaffs have higher Initiative and their reactive healing takes priority
   * This can be exploited in many ways, in this case having Galadmir Icicle Arrow both Feathershields and none of them can avoid it with the Sacrifice cover passive
* Featherbows are fantastic right away
   * Comes with Tailwind passive (+10 Initiative to an entire row) as part of their natural kit, without needing to equip the Angel Plume
   * Photon Arrow is a good enough substitute for a Druid's Defensive Curse, and can trigger Yunifi's followup at the same time for eliminating targets
      * It halves Nigel's P. Def from 46 to 23, so Adel just needs 72 P. Atk to take him out with Pile Thrust (after accounting for Atk boosts from Cavalier Call and Dancer's Bracelet, Cavalry bonus damage to Infantry, and Nigel's 20% damage reduction from his shield)
* **Yunifi is still broken, even without Glacial Rain**
   * Case in point: It's situational, but I can't think of any other class that can **ONE SHOT A FEATHERSHIELD AT FULL HEALTH** with a passive ability **WITHOUT CRITS**
