C'mon now. Anyone with AWtQ has a Diplomacy high enough for the top level benefit. Or they are an idiot...
The only other use for the ability is the invulnerability. That has a lot of uses.
You misunderstand what they're referring to with AWtQ.
The only buff Shiradi care about getting from AWtQ is the one that gives:
Quote:Joy of the Queen - Love:
+10 Royalty bonus to all ability scores. In addition, your spells gain a 50% chance to generate a random effect (as Double Rainbow on Prism Stance but at 50% chance instead of 7%).
There is also the bonus buff that gives this:
Quote:Indulgence of the Mad Queen :
Occasionally, when you achieve a critical success, you have a small chance (~2%) to proc an additional buff: (Duration: 45 seconds) While this buff is active, all of your spells and every ranged attack you made has a 100% chance to generate a random effect (as Double Rainbow on Prism Stance).
There is something around a 1-2% chance to get the Love of the Queen and a 2% of whatever your critical success chance on AWtQ is of getting the bonus buff on top of Love of the Queen which likely amounts to 0.04% chance of getting both.
Using a super buff that's available 2% of the time and unlimited spell point potions to do a speed run is a good proof of concept of the maximum possible potential of a build, but it is most certainly not an accurate indicator of the average performance of said build over the course of multiple missions. It's an extreme outlier to the average.
For an apples to apples comparison, highly skilled players would need to do speedruns on the same content without Love of the Queen and without chugging spell point potions like a fat kid eating candy.
