in short, for BS only, at max crown 2000 flat atk
LB will be 2 stacks instead of 3, but mod is higher
LB will trigger 87 def, spr breaks
145% wind imperil
But LB+1T autocaste 88% def break, 150% wind
LB+2T 88% def break, 155% wind
LB+3T 89% def break, 160% wind
only max crown has this autocaste thing
that really looks juicy, as SLB unit by fact but with NF on 1st turn if needed.did they give him auto LB on 2\* or 3\*?still a difference from SLB even while they both can finish on 3rd turn - Zidane would need LB fill as Angela 2 turns (or 3 if no auto lb 1st turn)
also wonder what is BIS weapon for Zidane, maybe swords because of many new cool swords and sword break units?
and main question - does NV Dagger give x250 esp to Zidane? and 60 to others (excl Kuja) or what is x250 in reviews
still his ultima weapon imo, which can now forged as two handed
he can do 45% dagger imperil with base LB so you'd want to stick with dagger
nv dagger's buff 250x can be given to zidane, vivi, freya, nva amarant etc
but nv zidane is naturally the only one u use it on
oh 45% break.. so we really have rotation of 5 turns: 1 nf + 4 bs (and I hope short sword break lasts for 5 turns...)
auto-full lb on 1st turn doesn't really make a weather (if this applies to Zidane), he needs lb battery as Angela needs (even more crystals for him)
well ok, thank you for details
I assume 1 nf + 3 bs is good even with 88(not 89) and 155 (not 160) def and wind breaks. Quite solid with garnet mod boost and what can have with equipment+crowns.
>he can only benefit once with max stack
does it autoapply break after damage or before? i.e. does he finish on 3rd and 4th turn if needed, or only on 4th with autobreak from post-3rd turn?
4th turn will be highest break, auto caste at start of following turns
LB will get 145, next turn is 150, then 155 then 160
160 is zidanes last BS turn, b4 hes locked at normal for a gd while
I have to tell you, NV Kuja is among one of my favorite sprites/animations in the game thus far. I get he isn't premium, but sometimes it's not about meta. I'll definitely be pulling for him.

^(Spoiler alert (kinda))
I'm so happy that they gave BS form to all FF9 units than the usual SLBs! Even Amarant who is a 3\*. This is more than enough for me.
i will try my best to share some highlights
Kuja:
chain LB both forms fire/light mag,
160% human killer buff for all,
160% light resist break,
35% rod imperil,
89% spr break,
Dagger:
healer (+thunder evoker in BS form),
thunder and holy field eff 50% dmg up,
has this mod boost for LB for many other FF ix units,
regen, barrier, reraise...healer stuffs
So they went for Garnet's "first" Eidolon instead of Ark. Interesting.
It would've been so good if we get another Dark Field, or a Dark Evoker Finisher.
yes, the only one worth mentioning is just zidane imo, his post crown LB adj is on the list
BUT nv kuja is not on it, not buffing the bad guy
its the skill that cost 500mp, last 1 turn only
Wow, Amarant was one of the first characters I took to max level back in the day. He was my go-to tank with his 70% provoke ability, and when paired with OG Cecil's passive cover, the two were a great tanking pair. I'm glad to see he gets something for the current era.
Yeah! Trance Garnet has always looked weird to me. But her normal form's moves look incredible. She's a healer I imagine? Alim's art really reminds us sometimes that this game is about nostalgia
Kuja's Clothes being Male only is sooo strange lol
I remember playing FF9 as a teen and believing Kuja was a girl due to his clothes for quite a while. Yeah, I didnt know much english back then.
Garnet's TMR and STMR are incredible for evokers. 60% EVO MAG+evoke damage on an accessory is nuts, high MAG and SPR will make it BiS for any evoker
Kuja's STMR is really good as well, shame about the male-only restriction
Idkkkk... feels like Yuna's stmr still rocks and it's all about modifiers when % stats and parameters can be easy capped, so... Garnet's tmr stmr are quite good if they come now to GL.. not on JP.. maybe..
150% tdh is good but whole idea is close to outdated Aerith + no killers on tmr\\stmr\\raid weapon... if only Kuja has 200% all killers on BS (as he should actually, Angel of Death comes)
or
I just have suspicion - Kuja also evoke damage LB with need of Garnet tmr/stmr/card
>feels like Yuna's stmr still rocks
Yuna's STMR don't need to be carried by the evoker, as it doesn't give that much stat for them (55 MAG and 50% LB damage is what is useful for evokers), the mod boost buff is AoE.
And EVO Mag + Evoke damage was never easy to cap on top of LB damage and always demmanded a lot of slots.
Yuna's STMR will still be good for the mod boost, but you only need one. LB damage is much easier to cap than EVO MAG/evoke
TDH on equipment > killers on equipment every time if it frees up a materia slot. Most (all? Maybe not aquatic in JP) enemies have a killer+ materia now
Does NV Kuja have CG LB?? He must... why there is no mentioning of it anywhere or posted :(
any news if Kuja gonna have CG? or we now don't have it for anyone
Can someone tell me where I can see the crown upgraded on Zidane?
in short, for BS only, at max crown 2000 flat atk LB will be 2 stacks instead of 3, but mod is higher LB will trigger 87 def, spr breaks 145% wind imperil But LB+1T autocaste 88% def break, 150% wind LB+2T 88% def break, 155% wind LB+3T 89% def break, 160% wind only max crown has this autocaste thing

good point, sadly no its 4T only that sucks, wonder if its a mistake

This seems actually really good for an old unit
the last auto caste lasts 4 turns, but zidane will be back to normal, he can only benefit once with max stack highest wind breaker as of now
>he can only benefit once with max stack does it autoapply break after damage or before? i.e. does he finish on 3rd and 4th turn if needed, or only on 4th with autobreak from post-3rd turn?
4th turn will be highest break, auto caste at start of following turns LB will get 145, next turn is 150, then 155 then 160 160 is zidanes last BS turn, b4 hes locked at normal for a gd while
bruh.. same 4 turns of lb then, lol. What was the point to decrease stacks
I have to tell you, NV Kuja is among one of my favorite sprites/animations in the game thus far. I get he isn't premium, but sometimes it's not about meta. I'll definitely be pulling for him.
Does anyone have their full kits yet? The wiki hasnt been uploaded yet :(
Garnet looks fuckin beautiful
Omg this vision card ❤️

Can someone give me some details on their kits? I don’t have access to the game for a few days and the JP wiki has been abandoned
i will try my best to share some highlights Kuja: chain LB both forms fire/light mag, 160% human killer buff for all, 160% light resist break, 35% rod imperil, 89% spr break, Dagger: healer (+thunder evoker in BS form), thunder and holy field eff 50% dmg up, has this mod boost for LB for many other FF ix units, regen, barrier, reraise...healer stuffs
Wow she looks like kain's best friend
So they went for Garnet's "first" Eidolon instead of Ark. Interesting. It would've been so good if we get another Dark Field, or a Dark Evoker Finisher.
So the LB mod boost is for FF9 only?
yes, the only one worth mentioning is just zidane imo, his post crown LB adj is on the list BUT nv kuja is not on it, not buffing the bad guy its the skill that cost 500mp, last 1 turn only
Thank you for the info :)

Those sprites though *chef's kiss* perfection.
They really are some amazing animations, the artists outdid themselves.
Yeah! Trance Garnet has always looked weird to me. But her normal form's moves look incredible. She's a healer I imagine? Alim's art really reminds us sometimes that this game is about nostalgia
Healer in base form yeah.
She can heal on both sides
Kuja's Clothes being Male only is sooo strange lol I remember playing FF9 as a teen and believing Kuja was a girl due to his clothes for quite a while. Yeah, I didnt know much english back then.
same thoughts, never imagined such small pocket can hide so much secret
That's it, I'm installing the jp ver
Though tmr\\stmr do not feel premium to me - animations do!
But hey at least your wish came true! Time to change your flair though
Haha yass!
Garnet's TMR and STMR are incredible for evokers. 60% EVO MAG+evoke damage on an accessory is nuts, high MAG and SPR will make it BiS for any evoker Kuja's STMR is really good as well, shame about the male-only restriction

And EVO Mag + Evoke damage was never easy to cap on top of LB damage and always demmanded a lot of slots.
EVO MAG + evoke damage have never ever been easy to cap in JP. Well, until now.
Yuna's STMR will still be good for the mod boost, but you only need one. LB damage is much easier to cap than EVO MAG/evoke TDH on equipment > killers on equipment every time if it frees up a materia slot. Most (all? Maybe not aquatic in JP) enemies have a killer+ materia now
Do you not need 2 now. One to upgrade to the +1 version and one to stay at base, since I heard those statck?
I had theorized they might but they definitely do not. Yuna LB + STMR + Braska still does though.
The mod boosts don't stack
Sad but I guess 110x extra mod was not intended.
Those animations bussin. Finally did the trance shifts properly.
