Re: Pretender design for Yomi
well, if you insist on "protecting your hannyas" and role playing a bit than take heat1(which would be 0 in winter and even late fall). almost a free scale for that matter, which gives you Growth0 or lowers Misfortune to 1.
as for research, all nations can forge research boosters, it's nothing unique to Yomi. Skull Mentors are not used often because death gems are too valuable. owl quills are not used often because air gems are not as handy for most nations and generally offer the worst RP/gem value. Lanterns are the most commonly used because fire gems are not that important, however it requires construction6, which isn't as easy to get with your Yomi unless your pretender is sitting in the lab rushing construction6 research with nothing else in between, which will cripple your already not very powerful early game. moreover, Yomi has great battle mages(Hannyas) and great recruitable SCs(Dai Onis) both of which benefit greatly from having access to various magic paths, so hurting your research is not a very bold move Imho. also, considering they're great battle mages, you'll use them in the field more than in the lab, which slows your research even more, it's not like you have very strong troops to rely on, you really need battle magic up ASAP...
