A few notes before we begin.
First, my opinions are based mostly on my observations and experience with the game. While I have spent a lot of time playing, I don’t have hard numbers to give you, so what little I will give you is based on what I’ve read. On a similar note, if anyone does have things like damage calcs that they would like to use to refute or back up any claims I make, please feel free to do so.
Second, this guide assumes that all combo and weapon rank badges are unlocked, including True Power badges for those who have them. On a related note, if a character has a unique weapon, that is what the weapon build will be for. If they don’t, use a 5 star, 6 slot Brave weapon. Finally, I will be using the C(X) notation to discuss combos. For example, C4 would refer to the combo YYYX, while C1 would refer to just X.
I’d like to give a huge shoutout to u/Graph066 for letting me know how damage is calculated and how boost skills interact with those calculations.
Decide if you want your character to be a Vanguard (player controlled; blue squares on the deploy screen) or a Support (AI controlled; green squares on the deploy screen), then look down the corresponding column to determine skill priority.
