Marchosias/Strategy

NOTE: This page currently under construction.

(This page is for Marchosias strategy guide. For the standard Marchosias page, click here.)

Overview

Despite being a release unit, Marchosias is still a very useful and good character to use due to his ability of providing three sources of damage reduction, something which is remarkable for a / unit. Additionally, his application of TenacityDEF Up by 0.9x ~ 0.45x for 1 turn (Buff) being rather large due to his skill evolution and his extended horizontal movement make him ideal as a unit to move for a team. Furthermore, Tenacity itself is a less commonly applied defensive buff to allies compared to Protection, so this is also a niche for Marchosias in itself. So despite being an old unit, Marchosias is very capable as a tank and defensive support and presents a nice low-cost option for users. Finally, the introduction of ARs has also considerably boosted his utility due to the combination of his elemental attribute and weapon type.
