..A lot of things say that. I think I'm one of the few without him, but for some reason I never got the 'free pick' unit some months ago.

The Unit of Choice event a while back had certain stipulations to qualify for it, like having an account open for X number of days; plus a form you had to fill out to actually get the unit. There's a good possibility they'll do the UoC again as the third anniversary wraps up.

Well, yeah. Avant is just.... that good. Seriously, he's one of the best broken lead units in the game for pure DD purposes. You will not get any survivability or BB management out of him as lead though. Also, for crit resistant content (like certain raid missions), his leader damage will be significantly reduced.

Avant is amazing because his LS gives 50% HP (more on that in a sec), +150% crit damage, +100% spark damage (not as much as Eze's 130% though), and a 200% BB mod. You can get an SP option to increase the HP bonus by another 10%, for a total of 60% HP. This is important because it directly ties into his SBB, which gives a 20% HP > Attack buff (which will stack on top of a standard attack boost buff, like Azurai, Atro, Eze, or Sirius). So more HP, means more attack.

Azurai's LS is still really good; offering 40% to all parameters (50% if you take his SP option which you definitely should if you use him as a lead), +175% crit damage (more than Avant's), a 200% BB mod (same as Avant), but instead of a Spark buff, Azurai gives a flat 10% damage reduction for some survivability over damage.

Back to Avant; his BB gives a 160% attack buff and 60% crit rate buff for three turns. If you pick the SP option, you'll also get a +50% Crit Damage buff on his BB (as well as his SBB). But.... I honestly would NOT pick that buff.

Azurai is the reason for that. His SBB is amazing; giving a 140% attack/def/rec buff, 60% crit rate, +75% crit damage (more than Avant's SP option!), and +300% BB mod (+400% if you select his SP option which you should!).

Fire off Azurai's SBB first, then use Avant's SBB to get a freaking sweet 20% HP > Attack Buff and everything just meeeeeeelts.

..Hm, maybe I forgot to fill out the form.

Either way, it sounds like I do have some solid units, just need to get some crystals to level up. Between Eze (Lightning) Kulyuk (Fire) Verne (Water) Sirius (Light) and Verne (Water) I actually have a full 5 elemental team which is nice. Lance will get up there as an OE Earth unit (along with Zelnite once he's released). Mifune for Dark.

I've got some other solid 7 star potentials like Edea, Lunaris, Rinon (I know she's so-so, but still), Piany, Toutetsu, and Raaga.
Apologies for always asking so many questions. I *do* read up on the unit analyses on the wiki, but some of them are spotty.

And yeah.. I can definitely see how Avant is godly. You and a few of my other friends have had him up and I usually drag him along for some of the harder content. I need to eventually reach a point where I'm ok with my squad and maybe use gems for something else like..uh, item space or such. I'd be happy if I snagged Avant (obviously) and like..Lara or such.

Any other units I should really be on the lookout for?

Man, the Male Frontier Gate is bullshit. I keep falling short of the 2.3 mil score needed for the sphere. Gah...

I had a ton of trouble with the female gate more than the male. I realized that i had to reset my silas sp to give him the light elemental buff. I opened with silas also, if i was correct my team did have silas, sirius, ark lead, eze, krantz, with a sirius friend. I could be totally wrong, but i remember following ushi's jp guide to the FG to get the 2.3mil.

**Hushigoshi** · 2016-08-30 13:28

I haven't tried the female one; spending orbs on the male one while it's still considered the guild event gate.

I've been using Sirius lead, Ark friend, Azurai, Allanon, Eze, and Krantz. It's unfortunate but I think Allanon is what's holding me back. Meh.

**Nitsuki** · 2016-08-30 14:29

Allanon is useless if you're using my ark cuz i have all elements on mine.

**Hushigoshi** · 2016-08-30 14:35

Nah, I was using one that negated elemental and crit damage haha.

**Nitsuki** · 2016-08-31 13:13

So according to brave news channel, we're getting a new raid class 6, we're getting the 3rd story arc in september!!! A new global frontier gate, And we're getting a global exclusive storyline involving Adriesta. Good shit gumi. And i just summoned Adriesta a couple days ago.

**Hushigoshi** · 2016-08-31 13:14

I was tempted to summon her... But her buff kit is so weird. And self spark buffs weren't working at the time (it would overwrite party spark buff instead of stack, as evident with Gildorf). I don't know if Gumi fixed that yet.

**Nitsuki** · 2016-08-31 17:51

I believe they did, i summoned for the hell of it and got her on the 2nd pull with the 4x rate up, so i said why the fuck not?

Um..... thanks Gimu.

**Nitsuki** · 2016-09-06 23:28

I'm missing another summoner orb or w/e it is, how did you get it?

**Hushigoshi** · 2016-09-06 23:32

HR38 (which you have)
Ruling Star rank in Arena. (1,965,000 ABP)

I passed you and Tyrath a long while ago in the arena rankings.

**Nitsuki** · 2016-09-06 23:39

Ruling star is my next rank in arena! So i'll have my 2nd health codex soon. Also, wtf at melord drop rates, fuck that raid.

**Hushigoshi** · 2016-09-06 23:43

You can also make two Variable Arsenal orbs as well.

Soul Blade is from HR33 and Born Saint Arena rank (1,782,000 ABP).

I toss those on my OE Mifune death squad and it allows me to get the "Inflict 30 Status Ailment" challenge quickly.

**Nitsuki** · 2016-09-07 00:07

i can make my 2nd variable arsenal... but i want to save my 2nd grudge bow to make melord's core first for the achievement... i almost don't want to farm for another one, but i'm going to have to D:

fuck it, i realized i'm not far from crafting another grudge bow. Made my 2nd variable arsenal, wonder if i can use this in Arena for my mifunes. lol

**Hushigoshi** · 2016-09-07 00:13

I have 4 Mifunes, two have VA+Shiny Anklets, two have Divine Blades (100% ATK/DEF for 2 turns)+Halloween Orbs.

Add in Mizerka lead and it's MURDERDEATHKILLALLTHETHINGS in the first round, 60% of the time. It's glorious.
