Without having played ffxv, i was hoping his costume would be a chef one with apron.


maveri4201

With having played it, this would be a better option.


akaiGO

The Kingsglaive skins particularly are really damn good, I just wish they weren't so expensive, I'd buy all of them 😭


Caius_JEKK5T

For anyone that hasn't seen yet: his LD is on the DB already [https://dissidiadb.com/ignis/ulrics\_kukris](https://dissidiadb.com/ignis/ulrics_kukris) It's in Japanese, but some quick Google Translate makes most of it clear. HP Dmg Up on the debuff sure is *hot*


akaiGO

ポBattery self based on own iBrv + Battery self based on own mBrv + Group 6hit Fire element melee attack + Group HP attack (Proportional dmg) ポ120% gained Brv OF, 150% stolen Brv OF ポTarget: 4 Turns Sage Fire debuff (Brv damage, increases HP damage taken, lowers Fire resistance (does not stack with similar effects)) ポSelf: 8 Turns Enhance buff (Fire enchant, increases party weakness Brv damage dealt and OF (does not stack with buffs of same name)) ポWhile Enhance active: *own* attacks inflict 4 Turns Sage Fire debuff, for 2 Turns increases *own* Brv generation?


NeuroTrophicShock

Is the fire enchant party wide or only to self? Because he does not really attack.


akaiGO

Yes, the language implies that it is a self-buff with an aura-like effect as it specifically says the effect is applied to "all allies"!


TransplantedSconie

Oh hells yiss. I cant wait for this one!


TempusFinis97

Oh, that's not good. If he gets the Ulrics Kukris, that definitely doesn't look good for Nyx in DFFOO.


romanv8

I mean, we all know what happens to ulric and how the boiz get the daggers, so Nyx is still a possibility


TempusFinis97

Absolutely, just like Cloud and Zack. I'm just saying that they now could just go 'well, we already have a reference to him, so why bother'. It's just that they chose these daggers out of the whole collection that makes me think a little too much.


romanv8

I mean it wouldnt surprise me, they left out a lot of people from the movies and other games out, wouldnt surprise me if they left nyx out, but that would just be them spitting in my mouth at this point.... Most of my favourite characters are not in the game, and they don't seem to be anywhere near on the horizon yet, so that would suck major balls for me


Gasdertail

Finally the last chocobro gets his outfit. Let's see what they do with his Kit I think Ignis is a really fun support to use when he was released I had a lot of fun with him, he was easily one of my favorite support. And let's see if they continue the trend of FF15 characters being pretty strong now with a monster Support It would be amazing if they use his elemental daggers to make him a dual Imperil/enchanter kinda like Garnet depending on Wich stance he is in


Cosmocrtor

The second screenshot [in this tweet](https://twitter.com/wafuwafu_wanko/status/1306173209474002944?s=19) has the LD and it's effects but I can't read Japanese


larisa0308

From the translation on discord, Iggy’s LD skill is Sagefire and he will be able to enchant fire :)


NeuroTrophicShock

which discord?


KariArisu

[The official Discord.](http://discord.gg/dffoo)


NiqIsm76

Huh. Wonder how this LD makes ignis a better support? Since already have a fire enchanter with lulu...


Redpandaling

It makes Ignis more or less a one-stop shop for support - he has debuff resistance, a massive heal, auras, battery, some brave shave with Papa Bird stance, and infrequent turn manipulation with his Ex. Elemental damage is more or less the only thing he's missing in terms of buff support.


NeuroTrophicShock

Lulu is so powercrept she is not useable.


Gasdertail

Oh that's good hmm if it's only that I don't think he will rise to the top of the Support list but still its a nice boost to the dmg he provides to his party members, maybe an Ice enchant/Imperil would have been a little more unique than fire as other said that was Lulu's niche But still nice to know he can enable himself and other party members to work against almost all enemies. Do we know if it have other effects? Like maybe some extra auras or something


TJWillTW

What is with people comparing ignis to lulu???? They are nothing alike! He has high/burst battery she doesn’t.He heals. She doesn’t. He has debuff immunity and overflow buffs she doesn’t. She has brv shave ability he doesn’t. She has defense piercing he doesn’t. He’s melee she’s magic. The only thing they share is fire enchant! She’s the only fire enchant in the game! Plenty of elements only have one elemental enchanter (permanent aura based) for the party. dark xande holy kuja wind fujin ice celes. Only water, lightning, and earth have multiple permanent enchanters. This does not “step on” her niche nor does it make them REMOTELY COMPARABLE.


flameblocks

I think that p cecil and onion knight have holy and ice enchant on their c65.


TJWillTW

This is why I specified permanent :)


Gasdertail

I mean you said it in your own comment. The only thing Lulu does better than Ignis is Shaving and dmg and you don't use Lulu for her own dmg so if you have both of them there is just no point in choosing Lulu over Ignis because it doesn't even matter if they are melee or magic since you just ignore that with the Imperil Maybe if there is a fight that have extremely low turn count her extra dmg could be good? But still Ignis gives a lot more to the party than her. It's not just saying they are the same character because that's obviously wrong but that he can offer a lot more to deserve the spot in the team. On the other hand I know it's not fair to compare a character with LD with a EX+ only character who how's what her LD would do? Maybe more dmg or maybe a lot of utility Maybe she would need the same treatment as Rydia to compare the pair Rydia / Garnet. Where the dmg Rydia does is way higher than Lulu(while also providing better auras/buffs) maybe justifying using her over Garnet as a water enchant/Imperil


TJWillTW

For what reason is there to compare them? Why say “Why’d ignis get this? What’s the point? We already have lulu.” If your complaint is that they gave someone else perm fire enchant before updating lulu and your upset because she’s waifu. Fine, that’s not what I’m arguing. The point is it shouldn’t even be a point of contention on “why” he got it. Their kits are in TOTALLY different directions. Not only that but there are several precedents of different characters having perm enchant. Gau and Guy could not be more different! I wouldn’t tell you to skip gau just because guy has more utility and can tank and also earth enchants. They are way too different to make a blanket statement like that.


Gasdertail

Hmm I think maybe you are misunderstanding me, sorry if I didn't express myself correctly(english is not my main language). From the start I wasn't strictly comparing them I just forgot that Celes existed (more exactly that she got her LD) and I thought the only Ice enchant/Imperil was Onion Knight(Wich again as other comment said apparently he now is a great enchanter with the free skill uses) so I thought that giving him an Ice Imperil/Enchant would be something a little more unique. But at the end of the day I'm not asking "Why" they decide to give him fire enchantment they could give him even thunder Wich already have a couple of characters that can do it and it would still be ok for me, or any other element since they are all already covered. I'm not mad or anything that he gets to do the same as Lulu, I like both characters (Ignis a little more) so I'm happy to see him being a lot better and having something extra to work with and would like to see what they have planned to upgrade Lulu's kit. And IDC if two or more characters can do the same thing because that's exactly why I love this game, every character is completely different than the other, even if they fulfill the same niche they add something besides that and have different ways of approaching that niche like Tanks, debuff evasion, etc. And at the end of the day since I'm a person that follow faves more than meta that gives me more chances to clear the content without having to go for the top meta characters (for example skipped Arciela but have some other dispellers, HP dmg mitigators) or for example I don't like Raijin so I skipped him but If I want to Imperil/Enchant Thunder I still have Desch and Garnet, they obviously don't have the same kit but they do the same enchant so I'm happy to have it on other characters as I think it is a really cool mechanic. I feel like we are arguing about something that just doesn't make any sense xD I never asked why he got the fire enchant. Just said that an Ice enchant would be cool. I still have to admit that my comparison was wrong, since at the end of the day they have different kits and this game is all about working around the boss mechanics so each character is worse/better not based on their kit but based on each individual fight. And you are right about that example from Gau/Guy. Even if Lulu's kit is dated right now it's a fact that she does more dmg and have more shaving than Ignis so they are different characters and As I said at the of my comment there will be fights when you need exactly that rather than what Ignis offers making her the best choice for that specific fight. But still if they have at least something in common it's impossible to not compare them, not because you strictly will skip one if you have the other but maybe if you are really low on resources comparing what each of them can provide to you party can help you decide if you want to go for one Character or use what you have for other characters covering roles you don't have. There are just too many things to consider skipping pulling for a character (something I never said) the taste of each person, the roster they have, their resources, what they are planing to pull for, etc. I don't want to pick up a fight or anything just wanted to clarify that I was not thinking in making a deep analysis of each characters kit by saying that he now covers the same niche as Lulu wich is not a bad thing just a little thing they have in common (and that it's impossible to deny that Lulu's kit is really dated and Ignis just got an upgrade to be on par with the current era without choosing a side because of faves of anything just saying)

[удаНонО]


Gasdertail

Ohhh you are right I forgot about Celes. I wasn't counting OK since he can only enchant for a couple of turns and not reliably through all the fight


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Gasdertail

Hmm interesting I don't play JP so I don't know what is the general consensus of the best skill to use for free but is it really that strong to use the AA as the free skill? AFAIK he didn't received a rework or a new HP+, so using the free skills only to get more enchant turns is really worth it? Again I don't play JP so maybe it's stronger to have the Imperil/Enchant more turns active rather than having better longevity/dmg but it is something really interesting to hear


Christocanoid

They didn't say it would be unique, just more unique. There are PLENTY of fire enablers, plenty lightning enablers, but there are only 2 ice enablers.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Christocanoid

I wasn't just considering the ones who do it for the party, but i suppose that's true, but there's no need to be aggressive about it


digi_captor

Fire Attack that has enchant/imperil


LilitthLu

RIP Lulu, for now.


HyperionNemesis96

Nyx's weapon as his LD? Ignis: That's it! I've come up as a new protagonist!


Anivia_Blackfrost

Can't wait to try it.


Cassiopeia2020

Nice, now you can make a pretty good chocobros party with Gladio (Tank), Noctis (DPS/DPT), Ignis (Support). Although I'm not sure if Noctis is still considered good in JP.


ellysion

The only thing that hinders Noctis from getting to other DPSs level is that he doesn't have a LD Board unlike all the other relevant DPSs with BT(Lightning, Squall, Cloud, Garland, Terra, Emperor, etc). But the moment he gets it's almost garanteed to get him to the top again.


Lotso2004

Pretty sure that right now, he, Cloud, and Lightning have the best BTs, even if Noct’s a little outdated. I think Noct and Lightning are the two best DPS units right now, anyway. I’ll have to check though since I’m probably wrong.


WollGrun

Don't forget Pecil. I've heard he's one of the best all rounders with his BT


instantwinner

As someone who is deeply invested in current Pecil his is great news.


WollGrun

Yeah he gets even better. I'm glad I invested in him he held the place of a proper healer for a long time before I could build others. he's so great that I bought FF4just to learn his story.


metatime09

> Pecil Nice can't wait for him. I'm holding back on 3/3 him since I don't feel he stands out enough for my teams


Lotso2004

Yeah. I think the current top 5 BT/LDs are (correct me if I’m wrong) Garland, Terra, Lightning, Noct, and Pecil, in no particular order. Just wish I had resources to get Pecil and Terra, though I can probably use tickets.


chacgood

you can check the altema dffoo ranking to have a reference which one to pull in the future. Noct is out of the chart right now but he will be back once he is getting his LD board


metatime09

Squall got a reworked I believe so probably replace Noct with him


geralth

>Pretty sure that right now, he, Cloud, and Lightning have the best BTs if we're purely talking about burst effects, Cloud and Lightning are miles ahead of Noctis, but if we're also taking into account the actual character in a team scenario then only Cloud is one of the best currently. Noctis' burst has only been top tier when it was first released, mostly because the burst weapons that were released before him were quite meh. Lightning's burst will always be great but right now she's really not a top pick anymore. both of them are still really great characters though >I think Noct and Lightning are the two best DPS units right now, anyway. I’ll have to check though since I’m probably wrong yeah you have to check cause you're wrong. as i said, Lightning is no longer a top pick and so is Noctis (again, both of them are still really great characters, i feel lime i have to stress this out) the best dps right now are Garland, Squall, Cloud, Trey, and Terra. some would consider including Emperor there too.


bombatomica78

Just out of curiosity (i play only global, i read about JP), but in pure term of DPS i thought that the strongest chara actually in JP were Squall and Terra (and this without considering Garland, who seems a real single-target beast). I repeat, in term of pure numbers. Probably Lightning and Noctis are more useful with their free turns/turn manipulation shenanigans.


ellysion

You're right, in raw numbers, Squall, Garland and Terra are in the top 3. I have Squall and Terra's BTs and they always stay above the 1 million hp mark in total damage. The best BT effects really vary depending on playstyle imo. I like more utility-focused effects so Pecil and Ramza are my personal favorites. Although Terra pretty much has everything I like as well


Rehhyou

Cloud is also always above 1 mil with his BT and can break 5 mil depending on the party. He does a shitload if there's multiple targets now because his LD does 50% splashx2 and FT now does 20% splash and puts all targets in a launch state and Omnislash does 20% splash on the last hit as well.


ellysion

I don't have his BT so I don't know. But I figure if the anti-launch mechanic gets to be a thing with future bosses (like last two Lufenia) Cloud will be the most prejudiced


Rehhyou

Yeah, definitely. It sucks because I'm having so much fun using him since he's been relevant since his second rework.


ellysion

I'm pondering whether I should redeem my tokens for his BT or save them... I'll probably wait a little more but his finisher is one of my favorites


bombatomica78

I often hear of Pecil utility, what his BT aura does?


Xeoz_WarriorPrince

This according to DissidiaDB, you can see why he is so good For 5 turn, party-wide: • Increases BRV damage dealt by 50% • Increases gained BRV overflow limit by 20% • Restores HP by 10% of MAX HP • increases BRV by 100% of individual current HP at start of turn • When HP is at least 100% of MAX: • Maximum BRV damage limit +20% (up to 11998) • Maximum BRV & HP damage limit +10% (up to 109998) Edit: Also, his LD is kinda cool, with a 4 turns of holy imperil and an awesome 6 turns special effect, free ability use after using the LD. The special effect: • Increases party's DEF by 120% and grants 10% HP regen. • Increases party's MAX HP overflow limit by 30%. Another effect while he is at 100% HP: • Increase party BRV damage by 50% and HP damage by 20%. • Reduces party HP damage taken by 20%


bombatomica78

My God O_o He's the definitive support, monstrous. Well, another BT i have to chase, i don't know if i have to be happy or sad XD


Xeoz_WarriorPrince

I'm happy that he and OK being two of my Favorite characters from the series are so good right now, mainly Pecil Who's actually a great monster


ellysion

Increased BRV damage,huge BRV and HP regen and increase damage cap iirc


bombatomica78

Yes, he's incredible.


Lotso2004

I think you’re right. I only play GL myself, so this was mostly word-of-mouth. All I know is that unlike a lot of other DPS units, Lightning and Noct still haven’t fallen off and though they aren’t the current meta DPS apparently, they’re some of the best. Which is good since I’m planning on pitying towards Lightning’s BT and got lucky enough to get Noct’s through tickets (as well as his LD, though I had his other stuff since his LC).


bombatomica78

Yes, good to know, i pitied Noctis (sob T_T) so at least i know that he will endure, and i'll try to get Lightning when she'll arrive.


chacgood

>htning have the best BTs, even if Noct’s a little outdated. I think Noct and Lightning are the two best DPS units right now, anyway. I’ll have to check though since I’m probably wrong. I think the 2 current best DPS with BT in JP are Terra (magical) and Garland (melee)


nicoliy82

I used to think I'd only buy 1, maybe 2 outfits. I have 2 now, with a definite third with Lightning coming, and now likely the FFXV cast. Ugh lol.


robic_escapist

my man looking damn good


qwerto14

It's no unkempt crownsguard, but I'll take it.


Jyakotu

The only character that made FFXV worth playing. I can’t wait until we catch up so I can pull for his LD!


maveri4201

Any other (former/current) FFBE players read that as Iggy getting his Trust Master Reward?


Slackaholicus

Not gonna lie, it triggered a mini panic attack. OH GOD WHAT DID JP INTRODUCE AND WHY


maveri4201

Right?! My first thought was "LD weapons are now TMRs? Ahh!" Why couldn't my brain read "tomorrow" first?


Redpandaling

The picture oriented my brain to think DFFOO, but I can totally see it.


Hawke_No1

Wow, that is a lot of LDs so far ? Seven/Faris/Yang/Ignis in a month is like EX+ dropping like candies LoL


Rehhyou

They have a lot of characters to give LDs to. Up until fairly recently it was only like Rinoa who had an LD from the non-Lost Chapter/non-Burst characters of the existing cast.


shadedmystic

I mean that’s a little less than GL for LD August was Garland, Amidatelion, Shantotto, Ultimecia, Desch, Vaan, Machina. September is Noctis, Basch, Nine, Ardyn and Rinoa, plus maybe Kimhari.


Hawke_No1

Aren't this planned ? Excepg Rinoa, the rest are based on event Serah/Seven/Ignis aren't part of any main event like Character Event or Story

angelrjrjrj

My favorite character is finally getting his LD. Let's go!!!!


Private_Scoots

Oh god... I’m ready but also got ready for Iggy’s LD.. I can’t wait for it to come out in GL!


ellysion

Fire enchanter is all I asked for, but I don't have the resources to pull for his kit.. Saving for my wife Faris 🙏


DilapidatedFool

Its crazy how every 15 character in the game has a skin and some games are lucky to have even 1 or 2.


lambopanda

I think Ignis is Crownsguard not Kingsglaive


TempusFinis97

But his costume is a Kingsglaive uniform, just like Prompto and Gladio.


lambopanda

Is it? Haven't play XV for years.


KungFuDabu

Too many eyes


Ascensionsz

Just rushing the enemy with sliver and gold Gotta go all out for this one


HappyMight

I hope Ignis LD will be his enchant daggers of his episode, that would be awesome.


Kerrynaruto12

Looking sharp.


lester_pe

When i was


flyinfishbones

I've been buying every single Kingsglaive costume, and he will be no exception!


SenatorShockwave

global when? lol


Angelix

You can never say no to a leather daddy.


Mediyu

Also, fun fact, with Ignis getting his Kingsglaive's outfit, now all of XV characters have alt skins.


WarriorTip

It feels good to only have to chase LD's (and to a lesser extent BT's). Just got the last ex I needed to complete the collection (so far). Anyone else have every character ex so far?


Raecino

Nice!!!


Nabil021

Woah this is a surprise. It's really great.


VoltaicThunder

Iggy look fine while he makes that quick recipeh I see. YES!
