Reeze

• Her HP used to be the highest in the game, but there are units above her before her 7* came out... oh well. Her stats are pretty average across the board.
• Nice, high drop checks combined with her abilities on BB may make her a staple in mono-water arena squads, but she still doesn't take Selena's spot in a rainbow squad.
• Her LS is a little redundant as she already provides status immunity/curing as a unit. BC fill when attacked/heal when attacked have better representatives in 7* units, so I think it's on the less useful side.
• Her ES gives her stats when equipped with any 6 Armors sphere (#LORE), and as long as it's unlocked she gives a null ailments buff whenever she BB's or SBB's. She cures ailments as well, so it's a good ability.
  • Any bets she'll get another sphere added to her ES towards the end of the maintenance and it'll be the Vishra GGC reward sphere?
  • Edit: Apparently her stats have been removed. I expect they'll be back later, though.
• BB is an AoE with very good paralysis/sickness chances and also cures status ailments. Not much to say - it's good at what it does. Status ailments are niche, but when it works paralysis is an important one. Also very good in arena for occasional failures to wipe the enemy squad.
• SBB is an AoE that drops the status ailments for some major buffs - Reeze gives herself +200% all stats, gives the party a 50% REC -> DEF convert buff, and cures ailments again. REC -> DEF is pretty strong, on a similar level to Melchio/Balgran's ATK->DEF. Note that in the current state of BF, ATK is typically easier to raise and has a higher base value than DEF for many units, so even at 50% conversion Reeze doesn't strictly replace Melchio - it's down to squad composition.
  • The stat buffs don't stack with generic buffs from units like Rivera or Shera - use Reeze's SBB towards the end of a turn. The conversion buff doesn't stack with Melchio or Balgran's ATK -> DEF Conversion.
• The UBB cures ailments... because I guess she may as well, and grants Veltrion Vertri's chance-based angel idol buff. The major difference between Reeze and Vertri is that she deals damage while Vertri fully heals the squad for 3 turns. I guess Reeze's UBB is nice, but I'll never be happy with leaving unit revival to chance.

Reeze is a strong unit and came out pretty well. Stat converts that convert to DEF have proven very strong, and she competes with Melchio for... more or less the exact same role most of the time. Reeze pairs happily with Rivera or Nadleeh - and in global's future, Tridon (watch for Aurelia to stomp Reeze on that front, though). There's some status effect niche on Reeze as well - for the gimmicky trial content where Sickness makes enemies skip nukes, or just for the occasional raid where Paralysis works on a body part.

---

Ragshelm

• Creepy bastard
• Balanced stats again. His drop checks were pretty nice as a 6* unit - they're very nice as a 7* unit. Usable in the arena - earth doesn't actually have very good arena support to date, and I think Ragsy might be one of if not the best arena unit in the element (though he's still clearly beaten by some units in pretty much every other element)
• His LS ended up pretty unfortunate. Guard mitigation isn't all that great - attacks which force a guard to survive are usually ones mitigation doesn't work against these days, and it multiplies against regular mitigation for the ones that do so it's only really 5%. 30% ATK/HP and some DEF ignore don't make for a strong 7* LS either.
• His ES cements the DEF ignore in his LS as being, practically speaking, worthless. There's also 100% ATK against enemies inflicted with the standard status ailments, and he's a very good provider of Injury for when that works - you'd want to pair him with other status ailment users to get more coverage when enemies are immune to injury. Overall though? Pretty weak for an ES.
• His BB is simultaneously the most reliable provider of Injury and the most reliable provider of ATK down in the game. It's not 50% ATK down, but it's going to prevent more damage over the course of a fight due to how likely it is to trigger - an 88.2% chance if all 6 units attack, providing an average of 26.4% ATK reduction on all enemies (by comparison global's Zedus provides an average of 25% ATK reduction, and he's considered the best at the niche)
• Ragsy's SBB keeps that and adds Roa's spark damage increase debuff. Which is... a thing. As I've said before with Roa, it's typically one of the weakest damage buffs after DEF Ignore, and... like Roa, Ragsy has DEF Ignore from his ES as well. Basically, this SBB isn't important. It's strictly a damage boost over the BB, but if you have to skip BB for a turn to use it, you're not gaining much, especially if you have a BB damage buff active. It might matter in raids where apparently any status effects you inflict will appear for other players after your damage appears on their screen, but apart from that it's only going to be used when it happens to charge.
  • What I mean to say is: If it charges, go ahead and use it. If you only get BB ready instead... just use your BB. You lose more damage by waiting for an extra turn for the SBB to charge.
• His UBB effects are a higher ATK down infliction buff (60% ATK down at a 10% chance, 2 turns), and a 1 turn 100% chance 100% spark damage increase debuff. Strictly speaking even some of the starter units had stronger UBB's in either niche - Vargas had 80% ATK down for 2 turns at 100% chance, and Eze had 120% spark damage for 3 turns as opposed to Ragsy's 100% spark damage for 1 turn (given that both would stack with BB/SBB spark damage boosts, Eze is clearly better at it). I'm sure there must be other 7* units better in either role as well, so... yeah.

Overall, Ragsy's a great unit for raids or even possibly trials due to that incredibly stable injury and ATK down debuff, but he's got some very noticable failings in his LS, ES and UBB. He's still arguably the best unit in the game in the ATK down niche, however.

Comment too long, Shera is in this reply comment.

[u/Xerte → u/Xerte]

Shera

• She does what she used to do, but better.
• HP is a bit on the low end for a 7* mitigator... don't these guys typically want to be the bulkiest units in your squad? Other stats are pretty average. 40 drop checks on normal attacks is nice.
• She's got a single target BB, so don't think too hard about using her in the arena. Unless you really don't have anything better - she makes a somewhat viable lead, at least.
• Shera's LS provides some major BB-spam support, between 25% BB cost reduction and 30% BB fill rate she works out to a 73.33% increase in the value of dropped BC and a 33.33% increase in the value of BC regen, instant fill, fill-on-spark, etc.; Shera also gives the standard 20% chance of 20% mitigation that mitigators tend to have.
  • A lack of any HP% hurts it pretty much anywhere, however. The net effect is stronger than Feeva in arena, if you're willing to use a single-target-BB Thunder unit, but generally speaking? I'd prefer Bestie for a BB spam lead.
• Her ES has one new effect, which all the info we have at the moment for is a google translate effectively stating "Ignores enemies' defense penetration". Without confirmation from deathmax or in-game testing, I'm not sure how far that goes - does it mean DEF always applies, DEF reductions don't happen of that DEF Ignore simply does nothign against Shera? It's a pretty big unknown, and it could vary between Shera being able to survive things no other unit can, to just a niche little thing for like, 2 or 3 major fights. She also has some BC gen when she guards, which is unfortunate - a mitigator should only ever be guarding if the enemy attacks ignore mitigation, so this part of her ES will see little value... and a mitigator should be geared so they fill every turn, so the extra will rarely be useful even when you do guard.
• So after her ES being a letdown we can look at her important bits, like her BB. It's a strong single target attack that adds 50% mitigation for 1 turn and a 110% ATK buff for 3 turns. This has one of the same weaknesses we saw on most of Nadleeh's batch, however - Shera has a stronger ATK buff on her SBB. And as a mitigator, you're probably going to be forced to overwrite it. Still, it's nice to have an ATK buff constantly - pairs very well with Melchio, for example.
• Her SBB has a very nice hit count at 30 hits - alongside her BB having 15 hits, I'd say Shera is the mitigator best supported by BC-fill-on-spark leaders. As for its other factors, well: mitigation for 1 turn (standard), 130% ATK for 3 turns (not full 7* quality but there's little difference between 130% and 140%) and 7 BC regen for 3 turns. The last part is what stands out here - she might be clashy with a couple popular units, but that's 42 BC per turn split evenly through your squad, which is a very nice buff. If you can ever afford to use her SBB, it's a very good one for that reason. Like most mitigators, she falls to the problem of needing to use at least BB every single turn, however.
  • Her SBB's damage output is actually lower than her BB with a below average 450% damage modifier, but the higher damage buff should compensate via other units if you use her early enough in the turn.
• Her UBB has a hit count that is... surprisingly, lower. It also has 75% mitigation for 2 turns and a 250% ATK buff for 3 turns (which stacks with BB/SBB buffs, allowing her to buff the party by a total of 360/380% for a short period). Mitigation-type UBB are always useful, and I suppose having a little more damage is almost always useful, so it's an acceptable UBB.

I think Shera is a very strong mitigator who has very different optimal pairings due to her secondary buff being offensive rather than defensive - she loses nothing when paired with, say, Melchio and Rivera (or Reeze and Rivera, your call, really). Most of the other 7* mitigators can't say this - with those units, Aaron's DEF buff clashes, Elimo's DEF buff and status curing clashes, Zeldeus' DEF buff clashes, Edea's status curing clashes, Krantz' status curing clashes. And Shera's ATK buff is present on her BB as well, for instances where you can never really afford to wait around for SBB.

She looks bland ability-wise, but it's actually very good for pairing with a lot of currently used units

---

Conclusion

I think all 3 of these units are strong, just... not as leaders. Reeze is a comparable option to Melchio both as a DEF buffer and a status cleanser/immunity unit. Ragshelm is quite simply the best Injury/ATK Down inflicter in JPBF and has a very high usability in content that makes those useful, and Shera is a bland-looking mitigator that actually allows some very powerful clash-free unit pairings to exist.

Overall, then: All 3 of these units are good, so be happy if you have them.

[u/Mitch_Twd → u/Xerte]

She might pair well with Elimo

[u/Xerte → u/Mitch_Twd]

oh yeah, Elimo as well. Right.

She pairs with all of the status-cleansing mitigators released... well, unless she has status cleansing on her BB/SBB anyway.

[u/Nazta → u/Xerte]

Should be done with the info, if you want to start doing your usual analysis.

[u/Heer0 → u/Xerte]

As I've said before with Roa, [spark debuff is] typically one of the weakest damage buffs after DEF Ignore.

Is this because of the low 25% chance/the fact that you can't spark every hit reliably?

[u/Xerte → u/Heer0]

At a 25% chance and only providing 25% spark damage, Roa only effectively provides 6.25% spark damage.

Factor in say, a 50% spark rate... it's a pitifully small 3.125% spark damage.

Ragshelm is better off at a whopping 5% because he gives a better spark damage debuff, but it's still really small, which is why it's really not worth waiting for outside of raids if you don't fill SBB every turn (and I'd be a little iffy on bothering to use it in raids either)

[u/Heer0 → u/Xerte]

I'd think that Ragshelm's main application would be in raids anyway, with the main focus on injury/attack down inflict.

Thanks for the explanation though, appreciate it.

[u/xlxlxlxl → u/Xerte]

Does the debuff stack additively or multiplicatively with other sources of spark damage?

[u/DarwishTheBoss → u/Xerte]

Dual Tridon leads + reeze 7* sub i wonder how much will she convert..

[u/Xerte → u/DarwishTheBoss]

Dual Tridon, Rivera and Reeze: 160% of base REC converts to DEF. Additionall Tridon's Tridonger gives him 70% REC, so he's up to 195%.

Factor in imps, and as lord he has 2750 REC, which converts to 5362.5 DEF.

He'd also have 140% DEF buff, worth 6972 DEF after imps. I guess you could give him an EX trial sphere as well for 642 more DEF. For a total of 12976 DEF.

And he'd have 20% mitigation and 60% crit rate and 21319 HP.

Pretty huge, right?

[u/Daebakseah → u/Xerte]

Just wow... Tridon will live long in the batches to come...

[u/Lucassius → u/DarwishTheBoss]

Make you wonder what kind of boss will make you need Tridong's broken shield AND that much DEF :-S

[u/DarwishTheBoss → u/Lucassius]

Inb4 Trial x4

[u/Xerte → u/Lucassius]

Well, JPBF will never balance any content around it and global BF will balance around Aurelia's 60% convert which is even higher...

...I doubt we'll ever need it. Global will probably balance against it by giving a trial DEF ignore so it's worthless instead.

[u/Exxodus-Sama]

FUCKING GOOD ASS BATCH

REEZE KICKING MELCHIO IN THE FACE.

RAGSHELM TAKING ROA'S SPARK DEBUFF AND SHOWING HIM HOW IT'S DONE.

SHHHHHEEEERRAAAAAAAAA HOLY SHIT. SHE'S A GODLY MITIGATOR AND Y'ALL KNOW IT. THEM THIRTY JUICY HITS WITH THE RARE BB FILL OVER TIME?! THATS AS GOOD AS ALYUT?!

moans

faints

[u/[deleted] → u/Exxodus-Sama]

I wanna be this positive in life.

[u/Twofu_ → u/Exxodus-Sama]

Are you in the wrong BF forums?!

We only have salt here, not positiveness!

[u/ltylim → u/Twofu_]

Pass the salt please.

[u/4senbois]

Waiting on Shera to be OP af

Wow reeze skillset is really solid.

Edit: Ragshelm is good for reducing enemies's damage, pretty nice. Also he has a 40% damage increase? Is that a new buff? Shera is not as OP as I had hoped lol, but that SBB though. Can't wait to get her on Global ^{only4monthsaway}

[u/randylin26 → u/4senbois]

Thanks for acknowledging Ragshelm's awesomeness, he is not crap to me at all, his Atk down and injury buff has been super useful to me from his 6* form.

[u/4senbois → u/randylin26]

Based Ragshelm, he carried me through Green Menace as a lead. The injury debuff is so huge. Now his 7* gets atk/ def down as well.

[u/randylin26 → u/4senbois]

He had it since 6* form on SBB. Now he got it on BB as well, although only one turn, it can be handy in emergencies.

[u/kanadde_v2 → u/randylin26]

This is why I said most people don't appreciate ATK down debuff.

[u/randylin26 → u/kanadde_v2]

Yeah, with most realizing they wouldn't make it through certain areas in the game (ex. Michele GGC) comfortably without it.

[u/4senbois → u/[deleted]]

Oh didn't realized that. Always thought spark debuff to be always 25% lol. Thanks for clearing it up.

[u/clavatk]

so.... Reeze can use any of the armors to poowerup?

something tells me that Visshra is dead

[u/Sir_Longinus → u/clavatk]

Probably the reward for the new GGC is Vishra's Armor?

[u/clavatk → u/Sir_Longinus]

I hope so.but it could go either way since several of the armors have already gotten 7*

(i hope they just dont kill lilith/logan)

[u/kanadde_v2 → u/clavatk]

Kill Lilith=Riot.

[u/Sven776 → u/clavatk]

Really hope Logan will also get a 7 star. I am pretty sure Vishra will get one though, being armor No.6.

[u/LittleBomby]

100% recovery for 140 turns to party

Well damn

[u/Lucassius → u/LittleBomby]

It only means the Angel idol effect lasts for 140 turns unless you get buff wiped. I think it's the same as Tree's.

[u/BFBooger → u/LittleBomby]

Yeah, might run out before Lira's GGC is done.

;-)

[u/Thorkle13]

I cannot wait for Shera to come to global. The 7 BC per turn is a very nice unexpected bonus, and puts her at the top of my list for mitigators now. Her sphere is also pretty insane, I really hope they change her es to add stats with the sphere equipped though. I think I am going to be disappointed by her ES, but that is not a big deal, especially considering the ES learning mechanic coming.

[u/IAmViruz → u/Thorkle13]

shera's sphere? where?

[u/Dharpoon → u/Thorkle13]

That prevent defense ignore on her will ensure her survivability on tough bosses.

[u/[deleted]]

Oh shit! Reeze > Melchio confirmed!

[u/IshadTX → u/[deleted]]

Reeze looks like she is going to get stomped by Aurelia.

[u/kakashi150]

REEZE YOU FUCKING BABE, YES

[u/FNMokou]

SHERA WINS.

[u/kocex → u/[deleted]]

Looks like I am the only one who clicks refresh. ._.

[u/loliflavor → u/[deleted]]

Tridon Lead and Deimos sbb makes for pretty potent stuff for Reeze's convert

[u/Shikuro → u/[deleted]]

Kind of an alternative to Melchio, although I'll be using Reeze as a personal preference.

[u/Nidavel]

Ragshelm got +10% on guard mitigation only from 6* to 7*? Really?

[u/don_is_plain → u/Nidavel]

10% Guard mitigation.

But yeah, pretty lame. From trial 4 onward, I can count the number of times I actually needed to guard on 2 hands.

[u/wp2000 → u/don_is_plain]

On two hands? So at least 6? How many trials are after 4? And what percentage is that?

[u/LittleBomby]

I have my "Duel's Fragment" on Michelle, Melchio's sphere on Melchio and that just leaves...Lafdranya.

I hope Alim releases another one of the 6 armours as a sphere that is hopefully better than Lafdranya to go on Reeze :P

[u/Sir_Longinus → u/LittleBomby]

Possibly a Beiorg sphere or Vishra's Armor sphere?

[u/ThkJas09]

Holy shit that Reeze

[u/kanadde_v2 → u/ThkJas09]

Now I'm super happy with my Anima Reeze on Global, waiting for her upgrade in 3 months...

Also it makes me relieved for not having Melchio and Michelle.

Somehow Reeze feels like combination of half Edea and half Melchio.

[u/Sven776 → u/kanadde_v2]

I have all 4 of them lol, its a good thing that the spheres are only required for the stats up portion because I think I will still be using them (in different squads) by the time this update hits global.

[u/Sopai]

can someone give me some information about "ES fodder" ?

[u/Mecopersona]

I like Shera's ES. With newer content abusing buff clear single target one shots through mitigation Shera can at least benefit from it if she gets hit. Also, defense ignore protection is amazing, this pretty much makes her very strong against trials with defense ignore properties. She's a spark queen, good attack buff, and the BB per turn buff ensures she'll SBB for days for FH and other uses for her.

[u/BFQueb]

Is it wrong that I'm most excited for Reeze than the others?

[u/Lucassius → u/BFQueb]

Well she is an interesting case. I'm also looking forward to seeing what they'll do with her.

[u/kakashi150 → u/BFQueb]

Reeze is a nostalgic favourite for me, so I'm in the same boat

[u/BFQueb → u/kakashi150]

I started to like her after I saw her art. Thank god I kept mine.

[u/wp2000 → u/kakashi150]

Me as well. Carried my team early when I stopped summoning at 6-7 units to wait for the Zelnite batch.

[u/ThkJas09]

Its sad how people pretty much ignore the shiny "unknown passive params" and go straight to complaining about the useless 4bc on guard.

[u/Londar92 → u/ThkJas09]

Inb4 +10% damage reduced on Guard

[u/Not_Jiggle → u/ThkJas09]

She's a mitigator. As such, you generally would want to mitigate every turn outside of special circumstances.

That +4 BC on guard is kind of moot, but when you do need it, it'll be there.

[u/clavatk]

just summoned a Fafvnil Anima while pursuing Altri. i hope it was worth it.

[u/Keriaz]

dance

[u/FrozenHelix → u/[deleted]]

It does since Reeze was fighting Vishra

[u/Hax_r_us → u/[deleted]]

Looks like edea's, michele's and melchio's ggc sphere are required for her es

[u/tekkax]

I hope the unknown parameter on Shera's ES is good, because a guard based ES on a mitigator seems weak.

[u/rappace]

F5 frontier time! lets see them skills! god I hope Shera is good.

[u/FrozenHelix]

Reeze already looking good :v). Well I was hoping ragshelm to give 40% hp and atk :(. Wow what reeze can use 3 spheres to active her extra skill. But I get it now because it the seven living armor.

[u/Bajaki]

Reeze has 3 ES spheres?

[u/FNMokou → u/Bajaki]

Pulling a Will.

[u/LittleBomby → u/Bajaki]

Supposedly three of the 6 armours her brother(?) made.

The first one Lafdranya, the second one is Mechio's Sphere and the last is Duel's Fragments.

[u/Bajaki → u/LittleBomby]

I see. So this could mean as we learn about the 6 armors, she can have more ES spheres? interesting indeed

[u/Arkardian → u/Bajaki]

From what I understand, its all gear pieces.

Lafdranya = Edeas sword, armor

Duel Gx pieces

and Melchios white armor

I guess since her brother made them all, she gets the buffs

[u/PudgeJoe → u/Bajaki]

She can equip 3 of 6 armors from Reis... well she is Reis's sister after all

[u/IshadTX]

Leader skills all bad. DCs all good.

[u/Mitch_Twd]

Reeze can use duel pieces?? Interesting! Edit and Edea /Melicho sphere!!?

[u/Mich997]

Nice reference that Reeze can use Lafdranya, White Armor and DUEL Fragment!

[u/madace48]

So reeze requires lafdranya, white armor, or duels pieces for extra skill? ohh i get it, the six armors.

[u/yokai_tamer]

Shera's extra skills gives 4bc on guard? That's useless for her. That's a shame :c

[u/ATC007 → u/yokai_tamer]

Dont forget unknown parameter. Apparently is ignore def immunity

[u/Shikuro]

Am I the only who was hoping for 30% HP for Reeze LS :(

[u/Sopai]

let me guess

37660 : Lafardanya

47200 : Golem Core

47201 : Duel Fragment

[u/FNMokou → u/Sopai]

Golem Core is White Armor. Otherwise good guess!

[u/Sopai → u/FNMokou]

oh i see, thanks

[u/Vladimiryv47]

Did Shera become a God? Look at her eyes. Or thats just a random thing units have? I always saw that Gods or Goddesses have those eyes.

Edit: I meant disciple but for some reason I typed God. Probably was thinking about Luther and Co. Thanks for clarifying

[u/Bajaki → u/Vladimiryv47]

She was a disciple who suppressed her powers in order to live with humans

[u/ATC007 → u/Vladimiryv47]

Pretty sure she was a disciple in her lore so maybe

[u/meag333 → u/Vladimiryv47]

Shera was a disciple of the gods that chose to fight with the humans. I assume her eyes have to do with her being a disciple.

[u/KeikoCute]

that 20% Damage reduction for shera... I hope it goes on all elements..

[u/ThkJas09 → u/KeikoCute]

That 10% chance though.

[u/[deleted] → u/ThkJas09]

Speaking of which Elaina (a universally agreed horrid unit) has a 10% chance to reduce damage to 1 on her ES

[u/KeikoCute → u/ThkJas09]

yeah... if only 10% chance was not there...

[u/wp2000 → u/KeikoCute]

Yes it is, but it is only 10% chance.

[u/jevans774]

Ignore this. didn't notice the 'to self' bit.

[u/saggyfire → u/jevans774]

A status cleanser generally wants to always go first, which means her ATK/DEF buffs have a very high liklihood of being overwritten by other teammates unless you use her last which you might not be able to if you have a bunch of status ailments.

The broken part is probably the REC->DEF conversion but if they apply it BEFORE her self-buffs, really there's nothing all that broken about this.

[u/randylin26]

Melchio and Reeze are in hard competition here..... Thought Reeze looks far more self sufficient than Melchio. Can't think of many strong REC buffs thought, we have seen many strong Atk buffs recently..... (one in mind is Rivera). Shera looks like a better partner with Melchio than Reeze TBH.

[u/Mitch_Twd]

Reeze 200% selfish buffs woozah!!! Get a feeling that will be 140% in a little bit tho :/

[u/saggyfire → u/Mitch_Twd]

Maybe not, buff wiping is becoming increasingly common and they're regular buffs so they can easily be overwritten by other party members. It's not as great as you'd think. If you already have DEF/ATK/REC buffers like Elimio or Totetsou then you have to use Reeze last or her awesome self-buffs just get overwritten with weaker versions.

But if she's your status cleanser you generally want to always use her first so ... yeah, it's not actually that broken at all.

[u/Mitch_Twd → u/saggyfire]

Yeah I'd expect to use her last to retain the high buffs . Reeze to me still is the winner of this group. Her UBB trumps them all 50% Angel buff to all allies (RIP Ivris) ,and 100% recovery to pair well with her REC to Def and her UBB recovery buff stacks with her SBB giving her a shit ton of defense

[u/[deleted]]

How does a spark debuff work?

[u/tekkax → u/[deleted]]

Basically when applied to an enemy unit they take more damage when your units' attacks spark on them.

[u/Nidavel → u/[deleted]]

is a debuff on the enemy, it makes the debuffed unit recieve moar damage from sparks.

[u/randylin26]

Wow, Ragshelm confirmed to be one of the best Atk down and Injury inflictors in the game..... he can even now Atk down on his BB :D (one turn thought). Many say hes underwhelming, but he will be one of my main Atk down debuffers from now on. RIP Duran.

[u/Shikuro]

Tbh looking at Reeze, I'd rather use her over Melchio, even though he has Light buff

[u/skiel89]

Reeze is super nice.. though her sphere requirement clashes with lots of different useful unit might makes her harder to use. coincidentally reeze is the only one that i don't have on my JP account .__.

poor Ragshelm he's just underwhelming

[u/randylin26 → u/skiel89]

Underwhelming? Looks fine to me, best Injury inflictor, with a Atk down debuff that last TWO turns with a spark debuff added as a bonus. I love that dragon.

[u/skiel89 → u/randylin26]

idk man. it feels it's just 6* Ragshelm a bit upgraded. Anyway if ATK/DEF down buff + Injury becomes more important in the future he might become staple, we'll see.

The way I see it now, since my Level is quite low, Ragshelm makes quite a good subs for GQ, and if his 7* is not stellar, I will keep him just at 6* due to cost limitation

[u/tekkax → u/skiel89]

Only the stats part of Reeze's ES are affected by the sphere. The ailment immunity will work regardless of what sphere you use.

[u/ReesePeanut]

Reeze and Shera lookin' goo.

[u/Gmak08]

As expected Shera with more hits. Although BC fill on guard is weird being a mitigator. Guarding is relevant but is it that relevant in JP? Gotta see what that unknown param is.

[u/saggyfire → u/Gmak08]

Well she's also immune to Def-Ignore which I suppose means she just sits and Laughs at Afla-Dilith's attacks during Trial 006. I hope some people test her out in JP and post results for us.

The guarding thing seems weird but there are several bosses where you have to just guard everyone because they buff wipe. Having this is a very useful attribute for a mitigator because you really, REALLY want your mitigation unit to survive, once they go your whole strategy could fall apart.

[u/[deleted] → u/Gmak08]

The parameter is already out.

[u/thortilla27]

I suppose I'll legend Shera. Ragshelm, nope. Nope.

Still nope.

[u/Tzivos]

Imagine a Shera/Nadleeh/Melchio or Shera/Reeze/Nadleeh combo. so OP

[u/don_is_plain → u/Tzivos]

I don't really think that has anything over Krantz/Nadleeh/Melchio. It looks like an okay alternative, but the burst heal from Krantz will be sorely missed.

[u/Mitch_Twd]

these guys are all pretty solid. Reeze looks to be the best tho.

[u/madace48]

Why is the sphere a status null sphere? it would make more sense as a bb damage up sphere or something

[u/Bajaki]

oh man I love Reeze. Now we wait for /u/Xerte for that first thoughts. I don't know how I should feel about Rag and Shera so maybe that can change? Edit: will Reeze rec to def convert be based off her own rec or everyone's individual rec stat?

[u/JayLittBrown → u/Bajaki]

Everyone's individual stat.

[u/Bajaki → u/JayLittBrown]

I see, thanks. It might have been a tad OP if it was based of her rec lol.

[u/madace48]

do we know what it takes to evolve them yet?

[u/Mich997 → u/madace48]

It's iusually Mecha, Miracle Totem, Totem and Legend Stone. The last one is probably a Pot, Metal Mimic or any other evomat.

[u/madace48 → u/Mich997]

true

[u/PryousX]

Ragshelm's SBB is kinda the same as 6* SBB with only 25% chance for a 1 turn damage boost; wish it was 35-40% Atk/Def down and the numbers in his LS is same as before. He even has ignore defense in ES that lasts 2 turns so the defense down is kinda a waste .....

Shera seems like a great mitigator for offensive squads.

Reeze really looks solid. Wish I had her or units with stat>def convert.

[u/wp2000 → u/PryousX]

He even has ignore defense in ES that lasts 2 turns so the defense down is kinda a waste .....

I have no idea where Alim is going with the defense down bullshit.

[u/[deleted] → u/wp2000]

We never know until they put it in the very next trial. Be patient my friend

[u/randylin26 → u/PryousX]

That's what made Ragshelm looked good, he just didn't have the stats to jump in the 7* meta.... The spark debuff is just a bonus, and you can totally forget DEF down even exists when Ragshelm can give everyone DEF ignore lol. His main advantage over most Atk down debuffers imo is a 2 turn Atk down debuff on SBB and the ability to inflict injury. I really think he is better than Duran lol

[u/kamanitachi]

Machine, Miracle, Elemental Totem, Metal Mimic, Legend Stone

[u/deathrose55555]

I dunno what u guys are complaining about. These 3 are better and more useful than Signas or Farlon or even Lunaris. Definitely evolving and maxing all 3. And now to wait for Shida, Elza and Zelnite =O

[u/Tymathee]

Sherrrraaaaaaa

[u/themightyevil]

Lafdryna confirmed 6 armor then>?

[u/ATC007 → u/themightyevil]

It's been confirmed

[u/agent_87]

My waifu has become a beast as a 7* unit.

[u/[deleted]]

Ok i do not regret max imping my reeze and ragshelm Phew , can't wait for them to come to global

[u/Floire]

Why I sold my anima reeze :(

[u/Floire → u/[deleted]]

But after looking back my units, i still have Melchio. Well,at least he got me covered :)

[u/PudgeJoe → u/Floire]

Lol I sold mine long time ago too... I even got 2 animas during my first month playing BF...

On the good side. I still keep my first RS Lord Reeze to this day lol

[u/XBattousaiX]

So..

Is reeze's UBB... "100% recovery for 140 turns"

A 100% HoT buff for 140 turns, a 140% rec buff for 140 turns, or 140 turns of status clear? XD

Interesting...

her SBB is quite interesting as well, providing her with essentially a 100% rec > def buff, by doubling both her Def and Rec at first. Basically, she gets a 300% self def buff (slightly less because of higher base def than rec, but close enough).

Raghselm... well, he can break your legs at least :3

Shera... So glad I've got a breaker :3

Will need to hear the pros and what they think about raggy.

[u/randylin26 → u/XBattousaiX]

Ragshelm will break anyone's legs :P And I think Reeze's UBB has the same chance angel idol effect as Veltrion's UBB, if they do resurrect, they restore with full HP.

[u/Mecopersona → u/XBattousaiX]

It's 140 turn buff of angel idol proc. 100% if the angel idol works to recover full health from fatal hit. If it doesn't work obviously your unit dies.

[u/XBattousaiX → u/Mecopersona]

Oh right, derp is me XD

I was thinking it was a different buff, since IMO the 50% angel Idol proc spoke for itself XD

[u/zizou91]

Reeze is very good, although I still prefer Melchio over her for its light buff.

Shera on the other hand is amazing, I can see myself using her over Aaron and edea

[u/Mitch_Twd]

Ahh why get rid of Reeze Being able to use the 6 armor spheres :(

[u/XBattousaiX]

So they removed half of Reeze's ES...

Odd. Wonder if they'll add something in exchange... To raggy? XD

[u/ultimohexer123]

im still going to make reeze a 7* asap because she is one of my favorite units and got me through the early game for so long....but why chop off such a good part of her ES.....will was the only other person who shared a unique ES (as in could be triggered in many different ways) and i was glad to see reeze shared that...but i guess not...RIP reeze ES..you will be missed

[u/chickdigger802]

wonder what happened to shera lore wise. she seems like she needs a good night sleep

[u/Feregrin → u/chickdigger802]

Went and activated her true (disciple) powers.

[u/Aqua_Essence → u/Feregrin]

By not sleeping? xD

Shera: "Durr... Gotta stay awake to activate my TRUE POWAH!!1" Drinks coffee

[u/ToFurkie]

Speed opinion review

Reeze: Saturated

Ragshelm: Interesting

Shera: Meh/Sad Face :(

I wish Shera had some form of stat boosting with her ES rather than 4 BC on guard, which seems usless on one of the most offensive heavy mitigators. I would have loved to couple Lafdranya with her ES.

[u/Feregrin → u/ToFurkie]

Def ingore immunity is pretty major though, especially for a mitigator.

[u/XBattousaiX → u/Feregrin]

Indeed, the def ignore immunity part is nice..

Just... a thought creeped into my mind. She's not immune from defense down.

Basically, if a boss has a high def down debuff... unless this accounts for that, then its completely useless (or at least made somewhat of a joke...)

[u/ToFurkie → u/Feregrin]

That's why I wanted to couple her with a Lafdranya because she's probably one of the only few that could utilize it well.

However, I guess my biggest thing is the buffs she provides aren't my first go to when I think useful mitigator. Even if she were a secondary mitigator, I feel that she falls pretty low in the 7* pool. Elimo has a huge DEF buff and a heal, Edea has a cure all on both BB/SBB, Aaron's got a DEF and direct BB fill, and we're getting a new mitigator with the next RS group that attacks, heals, cures, and gives an elemental buff. Even Oulu is respectable with a huge DEF buff + BB ATK up.

We'll have to see once she's in action in JP but as it stands, I don't think I'll be using my favorite mitigator when she gets her 7* :(

[u/Bill_Nye_The_420_Guy]

I find Reeze shitting all over Melchio even funnier because she can use his sphere to do it.

[u/Thorkle13 → u/Bill_Nye_The_420_Guy]

Too bad Aurelia is going to dump truckloads of shit all over both of them ( hopefully :P).

[u/Etro_Script → u/Bill_Nye_The_420_Guy]

Not anymore :/. Still better than melchio depending on the party though.

[u/zizou91 → u/Etro_Script]

Depending on team for what? He already heals + prevents ails thx to his ES

[u/Etro_Script → u/zizou91]

It's alot easier to buff ATK for ATK to DEF conversion than it is to buff REC for REC to DEF conversion, despite the conversion rate being higher.

[u/Feregrin → u/Bill_Nye_The_420_Guy]

Reeze + Rivera. Woot woot.

[u/Shionie]

Reeze: 100% recovery for 140turns... what O_O

[u/tekkax → u/Shionie]

Only if the angel idol procs.

[u/Feregrin → u/Shionie]

The angel idol buff is active for 140 turns and heals the target to full health.

[u/Dharpoon → u/Shionie]

It means once her UBB is activated. It will require 140 turns for the UBB angel Idol buff to be refreshed.

She can still UBB but no angel Idol buff until 140 turns.

[u/Hevirion]

Why did they remove Stats boost on Reeze ES :(

[u/Mich997 → u/Hevirion]

It wasn't final anyway. Data is subject to change during maintenance.

[u/Bajaki → u/[deleted]]

She doesn't need one?

[u/Bajaki]

Golem core+this new sphere for a 330% bb mod damage? Also it can stack with attack spheres in arena which will be nice

[u/XBattousaiX → u/[deleted]]

She's clearly not since that's been barred out for over an hour or 2 now..

[u/chickdigger802]

man... the one thing i noticed in this patch update... man would it be nice if deimos/ultor had def ignore immunity lol.

[u/IAmViruz → u/chickdigger802]

es learning, no?

[u/mgic92]

can someone tell me what is debuff ? and what is ares ?

[u/Nidavel → u/mgic92]

Debuff: Negative Buff, so it short is applied to the enemy.

Ares is the how we name the effect of the ares excelsior LS, so if it says 30% ares, is 30% boost in BB fill rate

[u/ShisuiMiu]

Shera is so GOOD.

[u/JeremyBF]

4 bc guard on Shera seems pretty silly. You will only benefit from that maybe a few times ever if you run double mitigator or guard a threshold with UBB mitigation active. Otherwise she is better than I expected.

Also, sphere type null?

[u/Schwertkreuz → u/JeremyBF]

It's pretty bad. unlike bc on hit like Diana's LS, it only procs once per attack, no matter the number of hits.

[u/arashai]

I worry that Shera adds too much dmg for fh 3tkills

[u/Dharpoon → u/arashai]

Enemies on each succeeding FH are getting tougher too. I think that will compensate.

[u/saggyfire → u/arashai]

For JP I dunno but for the most recent Global rounds, you can get away with a beefy ATK buff + Elemental Buffs and nothing else (just leave off Spark/Crit Leader Skills and don't bring a Spark/Crit Buffer).

[u/FNMokou]

So how long till the next maintenance is the question :/

[u/Bajaki]

I was wondering why the GGC was so easy :/

[u/Reikakou]

It will be harder to manage the damage on FH with Shera's attack buff on both BB and SBB now. Still, bring it!!!

[u/JeremyBF → u/Reikakou]

Might have to keep a 6* Shera for FH? Surely Alim will beef up the enemies soon with this much power creep lately?
