No, of course I'd consider/take an A blessing if I knew I had a good matchup with it, and of course some nations work better with it than others. My point was that the minor effect becomes largely useless late game when you have arrow fend, whereas all the other non-s blesses continue to be helpful since they stack with other effects. The A bless does not.

The A bless is situational, and yes, it can be very good, but the combination of being redundant late game due to arrow fend and only of possible use early game based on your neighbors makes for a pretty questionable choice. It's an entirely situational pick, and most guides and the like are written for the general case.

I was choosing to restrict my comments to the air shield component, obviously 75% SR can be helpful, but again, highly situational.
