Sphere Recommendations

• C Spheres - Focus on truly any of the aura C spheres listed. All are relevant and triggerable by Deuce’s kit. If you want to embrace her damage, Jihl Nabaat's sphere is the pick.

• D Sphere - Focus on any ATK/mBRV sphere like Queen, Cissnei or Wakka. Just ATK boosting is fine too!

How-To-Play Notes

• Deuce craves violence and wants to go on the offensive. Her EX and LD are her hardest hitting moves and her BT gives her the follow up special Attacca. She also keeps allies nice and healthy to meet HP Requirements.

• Concerto (S1) is a party battery and heal instant turn move that can be used in emergencies to heal party quickly or to fill the Force Gauge or Force HP DMG Bonus.

• Dissonant Sonata (S2) is a filler move outside of FR time when conserving LD uses. This is also used to upkeep your MATK buff on the party.

• Requiem of Ruin (EX) batteries party before dealing some strong damage and granting her Fortisimo which provides more party buffs.

• Hymn of Healing (LD) is an excellent burst heal, good BRV shaving, and battery. She has plenty of turns for her overhead so if you need to use it earlier than expected, that’s fine! Use it in Force Time if her EX isn't up and it isn't Echo time.

• All Magic Attack (AA) is great to use to boost your magic attack and overflow during a critical window of the fight.

• Finale of Wonder (BT) makes enemies wonder how a flute sent them to the shadow realm as it provdes the usual BT buffs but gives Deuce a personal follow up: Attacca

  • Attacca deals 3 Full HP attacks to the enemy and gives the buff: Sforzando. This buff boosts ally HP DMG & Limit by 20%; it's equivalent to a 2/5 Ultima Weapon boost

  • She's a U4 enjoyer as it holds her highest damage, but without it she will use: 

    • S1/S2 (if free use, LD before the phase) -> LD -> S2 -> S2 -> EX -> FR for damage if you really want her to BT phase.

• Let's Play a Duet! (FR) brings out Selphie the radio star to jam out for some instant turn rate fame! It grants the party her Note buff and asks for:

  • Active member acts with Note buff: +40%

  • Active member batteries at least 1 ally: 40%

  • No FR auras otherwise. Not the greatest FR time unless she uses BT phase right away and passes the turn for echo spam in summon.

Team Synergy Notes

• Pair her with other attackers for her Sforzando buff or bring a long a linked attacker to fortify her own damage

• She is not just locked to Magic attackers since she provides other auras that anyone can use

• With Enna Kros' BT effect, Deuce might push some units over a 100k threshold which would be a huge damage gain
