PVE PVP Offense Defense Tournament
The Hero.jpg The Hero
Any Any S S A A
Pros
  • Hope's Awakening provides Fire and Force Pierce, a 20% Fire and Force boost, +40% to his accuracy, and a 100% Critical hit rate. It also allows him to Endure with 1HP once, reduces incoming Spirit Chains of Intimidation counts by 1, and lets him attack without consuming a Press Turn up to twice per turn.
  • His Order Crest: Determination will place 5 counts of Decay to the enemy with the highest current HP and then casts a 1-turn Debilitate when 5 counts of it are reached. He will inscribe 1 at the start of the own turn, and gain 2 more whenever an enemy or ally is downed. With the revival unit Heroine being prevalent in the Meta, this means he will fire his Decay off frequently.
  • Introducing the Buddy System mechanic, The Hero is given two different actives that can be freely switched between when it becomes his own turn to act.
    • Summon: Cerberus is a double-hit 50BP Fire attack that lowers the enemy's Fire Affinity by 2 levels while also applying 2 counts of Decay if at least one of the hits connects. It will additionally deal two more 100BP hits on the same enemy as a Chain Effect.
    • Summon: Cu Chulainn is a double-hit 50BP Force attack that has high accuracy and lowers the enemy's Fire Affinity by 4 levels. It will then follow-up with an AoE three-time 50BP Force attack that has high accuracy on all enemies and finishing off with a 1-turn Sukukaja+ as a Chain Effect.
  • Every awakening skill has important uses: Firestorm's Gleam in Red provides a 30% Fire/Force boost, Auto-Taruka+ in Yellow provides buff control, Hit Accele in Purple aids with accuracy and boosts Battle Speed, and Unyielding Resistance in teal that gives him a one time 200HP Endure and places 3 counts of Decay on the enemy with the highest current HP upon The Hero being downed (up to twice per turn).
  • Great set of panels with P1 offering Null Charm, damage boost and MP reduction for his active, P2 offering Null Bind and 15% Reverse damage reduction for Critical hits, and P3 offering a healthy boost to his max HP and damage output.
Cons
  • Neither of his actives ignore counters or endures, nor revive seal.
  • No innate ailment immunities. Only Null Charm and Null Bind are unlocked in P1 and P2 respectively.
Notes
  • His Press Turn retention effect does not activate in Democalypse.
  • Only Summon: Cu Chulainn has high accuracy--Summon: Cerberus does not.
  • Firestorm's Gleam marks the first occurrences of Passive skills being Red awakening skills.
  • His transfer skill is currently the only source of Strike Accele.
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
