Talk:Albida Randolph (Royal Beast Tamer)/@comment-25585096-20141207070534/@comment-1465604-20150322133024

80% Virilty-based spirits are no longer a huge liability (even if you run no-heal setups) due to the fact that we now have decks that can kill off most fodder formations before they get to attack you. Even if they get to attack you, a combination of high health and Team HP Ups will help prevent you from losing your multiplier(s) after but one hit.

Even so, as Axlnr said, you can pair Albida with Venu, whose iTCC is 4, meaning that even in the boss battle, you'll likely be able to hold onto your multiplier for a little bit (not against Baron, though, he's ridiculous). Mono-thunder is viable in multiple tourney ranks. Albida has a multiplier of 2.3x, 4.3x with her Special Skill activated. She's  actually quite good for tournaments depending on the rest of your deck, since she hits extremely hard without the need of a combo.

So she's not useless, neither for event quests, town quests or tournaments. She's just a little less straight-forward to use than certain kinds  of spirits.
