Sphere Recommendations
A Spheres: ATK boosts are generally the best thanks to his BRV gains based on ATK, but you can also weave in a Seven sphere or another BRV DMG sphere. Avoid mBRV, he has one of the highest BRV pools in the game
How-To-Play Notes
You can open with Meteor to drop his Fire imperil, or opt to hit the gas and Doomsday out of the gate to get his follow ups active. Longevity isn’t a problem with Vivi since he’s usually going to be your friend swap target.
Doomsday gets his follow ups to trigger after each of us turns for 5 turns. Just be sure to heal your party back up!
Fire+ is now an AoE attack with splash, and it hits hard, it’s your bread and butter attack
Focus is now instant turn rate, so this should be used maintaining buffs or for turn manipulation and does more HP dumps making it even spicier
After Meteor, you’ll get access to his Double Fire skill, which you should use just before his EX is charged generally. It’s a single target shaving version of Fire+
Vivi’s recharge is wonky because of his artifacts boosting his speed. The key is to enable an EX > Fire/Doomsday > Double Fire+ > EX cycle for optimum damage results. Focus' high turn rate means you'll need to weave in an HP++. See Removable Passives below for more information.
Removable Passives
NOTE: Passives should generally only be removed if you lack CP space. There are very rare occasions where a character has a bad passive that disrupts their optimal gameplay.Dark Soul has a low chance to inflict a weak poison... you can safely remove this
Bravery Kill is awful also
Buff Speed Up & Break Speed Up can be removed to help enable the cycle below, especially when you have his Buff Attack Speed Boost artifacts
Focus on enabling EX > Fire/Doomsday > Double Fire+ > EX cycle
