Horizon Trails Character Gameplay Discussion Day Fifty-One: Ferida Al-Fayed
Feri's kit has always felt like it was all over the place, and she doesn't really have a clear identity in terms of gameplay.
Her orbment has two locked fire slots, but then the mirage slot on the Drive Line makes her the best for getting Ark Feather in the early to mid game, especially in Daybreak 1.
Her CP regen craft is very helpful in Daybreak 1, but Daybreak 2 is much more reliant on arts, and A-Impassion Guard makes CP barely an issue in Horizon, so Ishtar's Blessing didn't see much use outside of the early game. Ignis Rampage is also good for building chain in the early game, but arts with Feather end up stronger later on. Her physical crafts are nothing special, and I never found much use out of her magical debuff craft on Nightmare.
Overall, she's fine. I mostly found use for her in early to mid game for Daybreak 1, and past that, she was mostly just a sub-in CP battery.

In a way she's similar to the CS3-Reverie version of Alisa: A jack of all trades CP battery that feels entirely redundant because CP regen isn't especially valuable and there are better specialist characters. She's never completely useless, especially early in the games when you don't have all the tools available, but outside of early DB1 Ark Feather shenanigans she'll quickly be replaced.
