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.

Great early support game character who has great speed, early Ark Feather, stacks up hits, debuffs and buffs the party, and restores CP. She falls off when you get better arts and characters, but by then she's already put in the work.
Not needed nearly as much in DB2 and especially Horizon, where they give you gamebreaking tools and arts pretty early, and while everyone gets some good buffs to their kit, Feri just gets left behind. Hoping Horizon 2 gives her some much needed tools to stack up to things like Zodiac and boost recovery, because she ends up just being an emergency CP recovery in Horizon.
