Overview

Ded

Ded is an old unit who tries to juggle between sustaining his team and doing damage to decent effectiveness. LB1 provides him with some sustain at a decent rate while LB3 further adds to it plus CritATK Up by 2x ~ 4x for 1 turn (Buff) for damage, where the less than ideal activation rate is remedied by his range. LB2's evolved combat use is minimal but can help since he is encouraged to move. The evolved Default is the only truly notable aspect of his kit, giving him potent positioning at phase start and allowing him to inflict a considerable HP Down to enemies in a large area every two turns while the other turns he can heal his team. While the flat healing combined with Blessing+300~600HP/turn for 4 turns (Buff) is not bad, the lack of damage reduction his kit offers makes this less than ideal defensive support. Lastly, his CS is simple but effective disruption that can appreciate some external CP boosting to reach.

Christmas Ded

With a warm and sunny take on the festive season, Ded (Christmas) is an interesting unit who mainly focuses around Acceleration+8CP/turn for 3 turns (Buff) and Burn-300~-600HP/turn for 5 turns (Debuff). With the former, he can nicely round up most of his activation rates in addition to approaching his powerful CS quicker, or forgo it for increased defense. While the defensive option is not bad by itself, the rest of his kit encourages constant moving and leaves its likely best use for when Ded may have his movement restricted. With Burn-300~-600HP/turn for 5 turns (Debuff) and Burn WeakeningWhile user has Burn: DEF Down by 1.5x for 999 turns (Irremovable Debuff), Ded and his whole team can enjoy increased damage to enemies he hits and even greater when using his CS, though unfortunately his regular attacks cannot get immediate use of the damage increase. ArdorATK Up by 1.2x ~ 2.4x, +5CP/turn for 2 turns (Buff) and ProtectionDEF Up by 0.9x ~ 0.45x for 1 turn (Buff) give his team good offensive and defensive support while increased horizontal movement can help with positioning. If his CS can hit enough enemies, this can add some sustain as well. With a bit of everything to support his team, Christmas Ded can fit well anywhere as the primary unit to move.
