'''Buff Copier'''
'''Buff Copier'''


{{Transient icon|Aegir|variant=Christmas|rarity=5}} has the unique niche of being able to copy all of his allies' buffs. There are a few things to note about this ability. First, the skill timing of this ability is when moving, restricting Christmas Aegir's buff copying in a certain way. Namely, he'll mostly benefit from buffs that activate on phase/turn start since they occur before Christmas Aegir can move. Similar logic appears to buffs that activate when appearing. As a consequence, he won't be able to copy a unit's buff that activates when moving, when/after attacking, or before/after receiving damage unless it rolls over into the next turn or if the skill applies it to him as well. For this reason, an unkillable Christmas Aegir by means of {{Status effect|回避}} is unlikely to occur unless LW decides to release a unit with turn start Evasion. On the other hand, Christmas Aegir could theoretically do something akin to that effect with {{Status effect|根性}} by piggybacking off another unit's buff. The main point of note here is that Christmas Aegir mostly performs well with buffs of longer duration and he can only copy one turn buffs that are applied on phase/turn start.

The second point is that he'll benefit the most when his teammates have a variety of different buffs rather than repeated ones. Since Christmas Aegir for the most part is a selfish unit, this ideally means that the other three units of the team should be solid enough to work together fairly well while Christmas Aegir lends his support as a column deleter. It's slightly paradoxical, but it reflects the fact that Christmas Aegir provides little support for the team outside of killing and charming enemies. On the other hand, for one shot strategies, Christmas Aegir is the crux of the team so he'll work well even if his teammates don't necessarily synergize together by themselves.
