Nameless had raw power but no skill, yet he demonstrated that with enough power no amount of skill could oppose you.

Man seeing how powerful heroic advancements are really makes me wonder how powerful a hero's reward would have been. Such a shame.

[X] Feat: Saber
"expanding the range of easily-accessible effects that can be acquired via the Sword Praxis"
An easy enough choice to pick the option that buffs our most powerful scaling tool and the skill with which we use it. Imagine needing less Artful Thorn strikes to kill someone, or finding novel ways to apply runes with our sword. All this and more in Hunger: Sordgang Chronicles

I'm still not sure...the temptation of guaranteed Feat: Orb is pretty big....

Tears of winter also "Quells the Arcanist Shard". That means we might not be forced to return to Nilfel while doing something important because of Apo-chan.It seems much more plot relevant in comparison to the other options. It might be a better idea to close our vulnerabilities right now imo.

Well, Pillars appears to be uncompetitive. Ah well. Hopefully we can get the mental stability elsewhere.
Between Crimson, Winter, and Saber, I prefer Ring the most and Winter second I think.

Charsheet updated.
As for this, while I know we meme about Saber being the SORD option, a guaranteed chance at the second tier Trinity is nothing to look down on, especially when it comes with a base Rank of 9.1 or so. Combine that with the additional powers that the Trinity would offer and we'd almost certainly be able to face Armaments in single combat even without Adorie as our backpack.

Don't we have Rank 10 atm? If we get Feat:Saber would it be 10.5 Base Rank? Rank calculations got weird after Myth.

Right now we have 8.2 base Rank, 9.2 effective Rank, 10 Adorie Rank, 10.2 Combat Rank and 11.2 Blood Rank.
With upgrade we'd have 8.7 base Rank, 9.7 effective Rank, 10 Adorie Rank, 10.7 Rank and 11.7 Blood Rank.
Unlocking Feat: Orb is actually super important, as it would get us to Rank 12 Blood.

What capabilities do we get at Rank 12 Bloodcasting?
A difficult choice, since all the options are pretty interesting, but I'll go with this for now:
[X] Feat: Saber
As Rihaku mentioned, King uses a lot of its power on fixing Nilfel and Season's Greetings. Those aren't bad things to invest in, mind, since it would also solve the issue of taking Adorie along with us, but I don't feel like this is a worthy use of the hard-won Heroic Advancement.
Ultra-Pillars is really nice, but again, the option's power is partly invested in other stuff like super-luxury. Which is neat, but I don't think Apocrypha will slow down anytime soon. I get the feeling the Armament was just the appetizer for what's coming for us in the future.
So it's a choice between Crimson Flare and Saber for me. They both give us the enormous skill that should have been appropriate for our level of power, just in different areas. One is more suited to group enhancements, the other is focused on Hunger himself. And of the two, Saber provides the most direct improvement to Hunger himself and the simplest access to the next significant jump in Hunger's power, the Trinity of Crown, Saber and Orb Feats.

That 75% Condition resistance alongside Adorie's other bullshit is pretty great, we would kinda no longer need to worry about conditions, which considering how good Apo-chan is at taking advantage of them is pretty significant.
Increasing Attack Speed by 75%, and Damage Dealt by 250% is also amazingly potent since our main avenue of attack is our SORDING which would be greatly empowered by this. Skill is well and good but it can't withstand pure powah!

Ring of power is actually really really strong for our blood casting shenanigans. More so than adding more bloodcasting rank, it would let us utilize it vs armaments even with their shroud. It also supercharges our healing even further, and makes our range gigantic.
We already had it. The Heroic advancement is basically 2.5x increase of the benefits of King of Winter.
