How-To-Play Notes
Garland opens with Bind of Chaos to get his overhead Chains of Time active. This gives him Soul of Conflict for 3T (with his +1 buff extension). Make sure you maintain his overhead buff, don’t let the stacks reset!
With Chains of Time, Garland will do his follow-up attack whenever he performs an HP attack.
Soul of Conflict allows Garland to delay any enemy that his attacks hit by 1T!
As long as you spam skills, you’ll never lose this buff, since Garland’s EX recharges in 2 skills. The rest of this advice assumes you have this buff, since you should never lose it.
Use your free skills on Round Edge+ - it’s an AoE BRV shave & AoE delay.
Soul of Chaos+ is a single target BRV shave & single target delay.
Disaster of Chaos recharges in 2 skills as stated above. It hits hardest if Garland has a lot of BRV before hand due to the refund between HP attacks.
Set Soul of Conflict BRV Up can just be used before you burst for the ATK boost or before you use EX for the BRV gain.
BT Phase suggestion: AA > BT: EX (since you usually have battery) > LD > S1 > S1 > S2 > HP > BT+
Garland’s BT effect is one of the strongest in the entire game but be wary of enemies that warp or turn jump, as they will reset his BT effect stack back to 1
Friend Garland: BT > 4x LD
