Sphere Recommendations

• A Sphere - ATK or BRV damage for his BRV hits to really count! He can hit weakness and Magic ATK is OK!

• B Sphere - Snow or Galuf to raise his ATK. Celes, Zack or his own to help him BRV gain before an attack.

• D Sphere - Boost the party's ATK. Wakka OK!

How-To-Play Notes

• Start with his Smoke Screen attack to get attention on him and get him to dodge. His EX takes 2 skill uses to recharge but his EX still only lasts 2 turns so there will be a turn where Edge can't make the party evade unless running a party buff extender somewhere.

• Shock is his most damage filler skill but he may jump due to it's high turn rate

• Smokescreen will refresh his Lock debuff and apply his Eblan's Teachings buff if it happens to fall off.

  • Note: while Lock is listed at 1T, his LD gives him Fire Scarf that extends debuffs he places by 5T so it's actually a 6T lock!

• Blitz Mirage is his EX that will extend Eblan's Teachings and apply Mirage and Awakened by Anger

  • Mirage is what grants the party evasion

  • Awakened by Anger boosts his damage a bit more

• Inferno is his LD that can reapply his framed fire/thunder imperil should it fall off.

  • Having his LD passives equipped gives him his Fire Scarf which grants him 30% BRV Retain, boosts party's BRV & HP DMG and enables his 2 counters:

  • Fire Scarf Counter is a 2 HP attack counter when Edge dodges with 0 or 1 stacks.

  • Ultimate Art: Advent of Phoenix is a 4 HP counter when Edge dodges with 2 stacks

  • Both reapply his imperil if they fell off and grant him BRV after the final HP attack.

Notable Team Synergy:

• Boost his ATK, BRV DMG and BRV DMG Limit

• BRV gain on crit or BRV gain after HP attack effects also boost his damage tons

• Can appreciate buff extenders to extend Mirage if needed (Sazh, Hope, Yuna, Eiko)

• Avoid too many framed buffs as it can push off his unframed Evasion buff or lock him out of his EX buff that enables party evasion.

• Don't pair him with units who want someone to get hit (Beatrix, Auron, etc)
