Difference between revisions of "Licht/Strategy"

{{Companion icon|Licht}} is a unit that does not stand out on his own, but truly shines as a support for units with strong charge attacks (CAs). Every single one of his abilities is related to CP boosting; however, his own CA has the underwhelming effect of reducing the enemy CP (by about 25 for SA level 1), so his self-boosting [[Artist]] serves his kit the least. In fact, it is preferable that Licht minimizes his own CP level since his main CP-boosting abilities only activate when he attacks normally, and not when he uses his CA. Besides this, he reliably bestows [[Vigor]] to buff ally damage. One nice part of incorporating Licht in your team is that he necessitates the careful consideration of which teammates would synergize best with him, making teambuilding more challenging but also more fun (and potentially more rewarding).

- Lack of defense buffing and debuffing abilities

- Unreliable activation chance in [[Agitator]] and [[Spreader of Lunacy]] in 3☆ Licht {{Companion icon|Licht}}

'''Characters with attack buffs:''' [[Vigor]]'s main strength is its longevity, which allows for other attacks to be stacked with it. [[Ardor]] is a perfect match because of its ability to increase both damage output and CP over two turns. Damage buffs that are bestowed at the start of phases are especially quite synergistic because of Licht's [[Ruler]] ability (boosts ally CP at the beginning of phase), which can ensure that the first move of the boosted unit would be a boosted charge strike.

'''Characters with excellent charge skills:''' When Licht is used properly, CAs become as important if not more important to micromanage as individual skills, so picking a unit with good charge skills can lead to the guaranteed activation of those skills several times in a match.

Evasion (and to a lesser extent other defense buffs) invalidates a successful board-wide nuke (see Teambuilding Options: Nuclear Clock), and leads to wasting the next nuke in the same board. Additionally, Licht works best when boosting allies and simultaneously KOing all enemies in range (perhaps with the final blow from nearby positioned allies), so as to prevent a counterattack from enemies with {{Attribute|AETHER}}, some other damage boost, or otherwise some skill-sealing ability. Defense buffs prevent a decisive KO and let such situations arise.  

As infinite range has a severe damage multiplier of 0.10×, the key to restoring its lethality is stacking multiple buffs. While Gyumao can self-bestow [[Ardor]] during his CA, the buff would likely be only LVL1 (dependent on SA LVL); thus, it is ideal to bestow [[Ardor]] with your other Support Gyumao by [[Hot-Blooded Mystical Demon]], or bestow [[Concentration]] with your Support Typhon by [[Band Bander]]. Typhon doesn't have any self-CP boosting abilities, but his magic range would enable him to gain more CP bonus from attacking further-to-reach enemies. Typhon's CA should be boosted with [[Ardor]] through Gyumao. Coupled with [[Vigor]] from Licht, Gyumao would have three buffs total at the beginning of the next phase([[Vigor]], [[Ardor]]/[[Concentration]], and [[Critical+]] from [[Potter's Wheel Turner]], for (CA base damage)×0.10×2.4×(2.4 or 2.2)×5 = (2.88 or 2.64)×CABD), and Typhon would have two buffs ([[Vigor]] and [[Ardor]] on self for CABD×0.10×2.4×2.4 = 0.576CABD). In either case, both should supply enough damage for a board clear for enemies at least up to level 50 (e.g. Elite dailies). Gyumao can continue gaining CP quickly because his charge skills include self-applying [[Rev]]. Board wipes should be possible to keep up for at least three consecutive phases, before Licht gains enough CP for his own charge strike (and thus is unable to attack regularly to boost ally CP again).
