Supplementary Notes to the Infographic Analysis:
The infographic covers the key critical points and should be reviewed prior to delving into the in-depth notesGameplay Notes:
Open with Hell’s Judgment into Shockwave Pulsar to max all her buffs
Protean Swords+ hits hard and is good for BRV shaving AoE while also working toward recharging her EX.
Note alternating hits! Whichever enemy you aim at, will be hit last in the chain.
2 enemies: Aim at A: ABABABABA
3 enemies: Aim at B: ACBACBACB
Hell’s Judgment+ is her go-to damage skill, and is always what you use after EX for free, unless there is only one enemy. Use this to make sure enemies always have her useful debuff (DEF & Sap debuff)
Apocalypse recharges in either 3 skill uses, or 2 skills & 3 BRV/HP variants. Use Hell’s Judgment+ after for free if multiple enemies, otherwise Protean Swords+
BT phase recommended skill setup: S2 > LD > EX > S2 > S2 > BT
Note that Junction Griever will not decrease in Burst, so following the BT phase, she will have 3 turns back to back, but the first skill will not be free use.
Use Shockwave Pulsar specifically to maintain your buff. Just be sure that your buff has at least 2 turns on it before you use Apocalypse, otherwise your free skill use won’t have her buff
Team Synergy Notes:
Look to pair her with Balthier, Sherlotta, Kurasame, and eventually Paladin Cecil for their HP DMG up boosts!
Spheres:
A Spheres - Focus ATK, BRV DMG primarily. ATK & iBRV spheres are great choices also. Kuja RF sphere is a great budget option
E Sphere - Focus ATK & MATK. Seymour, Kefka, Emperor are some of the best. Refined Faris sphere is a mediocre budget option. Her own sphere shouldn’t be put on anyone for now, it’s terrible and uses a precious debuff slot on a below average effect
Bad passives (if you lack enough CP to equip important passives):
Hell's Judgment Focused Attack (only good versus single enemies… and you probably won’t use Ultimecia in your party in that case)
Maelstrom Up (just note that this is excellent for BRV shaving you will likely use this in longer quests where longevity is important
HP Attack+ HP Attack++ Up (ONLY remove if planning to go skill spam and complete in under 40 turns)
Note: Buff Speed Up does not affect her EX recharge. You would need to remove Buff Attack Speed Up to lower her recast to 2 skills + 2 BRV/HP, but reducing your damage dealer’s ATK by 40% is not advised.
