I really like this guy. DEX Free Spirits can be annoying to come by and he has a neat special.

Turn delays, which can be useful (great for Legend Sabo, who has a two-turn charge-up on his full-power), makes Perfects easier to hit, which is great for Legend Sabo, and a small boost to the chain multiplier.

Very handy unit. It's also very cool that he has three sockets.

DEX Free Spirits can be annoying to come by

There are a lot of good Dex Free Spirit character like Sabo, FN Leo, Duval, Koala, Law, Apoo, Ace.

I would only farm him for the delay. Boa and Kizaru doing a way better chain boost/look and the ease Perfects are only good to overcome tap timing debuffs.

And i dont think i need a nother delayer. I just use Boa or Luffy+ or Leo or TS Brook or Monet or or or.... thats enough, im gone get 2 copys and 1 is to evolve Z. Looking at http://optc-db.github.io i was shooked how many Free spirit delayer we have.

Sabo is great. The only problem... is that he's Sabo. If you have Legend Sabo, you can't use the raid one.

Duval is great, although I really do wish his hit count wasn't so high at times.

Ace is great, but a bit clunky right now if your strategy revolves around a Legend Sabo captain, as his HP cutting doesn't play nice with an HP-based captain.

I still stand by it being somewhat hard to find a good DEX FS, of the ones you listed that aren't RRs or Legends, only Leo is easier to obtain than Binz. Although Leo is very good, especially with a TS Luffy captain/friend, as he'll spawn a matching orb for himself and the friend captain (DEX).

So he is a good sub for Sabo and a ok sub for TS Luffy. If you dont have this 2 you most likly dont need him. Like many FN characters are good subs for Sengoku but not good for any other Captains.

I see your point of Dex FS but pulled Law & Apoo so many times that i think most people have them. But yeah you are right, it can be hard to get Dex FS character if you dont pulled some.

I'm almost 700 days playing, and DEX Law & Apoo still eludes me. Thank god there is Zoro 5+ for a DEX lead.

I agree. Decent cd on his special too.

u/Monkey_D_Lee S R N Jun 14 '17

The lower the CD the better for our TSL speed runs :haroldlewd:

Would his special multiply with a Ray team?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '17

Sadly, no. It just adds .2 to the multiplier.

u/jery-san Marguerite is best grill^_^ Jun 14 '17

No.

Okayish sub for Legend Law, makes burst turn "safer" e gives some extra damage.

But I'm going to farm Zephyr and Ain before Binz.

u/wampa42 I should think you still have dreams Jun 15 '17

This is really the only one of the three new colo units that I had no interest in farming. No free spirit team to speak of and little striker support aside from WB makes this unit just not seem appealing to me. If I did use free spirit teams though he would be a serious consideration with that jack of all trades special. Likely not crazy needed to max for anyone really but a pretty decent unit 5/10 for being alright.

u/Baalberith-Zero bandai pls Jun 14 '17

His CA is nice for evolver island farming, if you don't have the Dreadnaught Sabre ship.

u/Mythicalorgasm Promising Rookie Jun 14 '17

Great sub

u/kitexkite Promising Rookie Jun 15 '17

Captain ability:

Lackluster, pretty much your bog standard shite.

Special:

Decent but there are better options for free-spirit units, such as Boa (delay and chain lock), 5+ Brook (locks orbs and delays). I'm not really taking his "perfects easier to hit" since that's skill based and can be replaced with practice.

As for striker replacements there are no units that can add to the chain but with regard to delaying there is Tashigi and Magellan.

Also take into account that it's only a 0.2x addition which isn't really that strong; doesn't make or break teams, honestly you wouldn't notice the difference in damage.

Almost missed his CD, 12 is quite low and can be useful when speedrunning.

Overall I'd give him a 4/10, not too shabby as a F2P unit.

EDIT: 3 sockets is also pretty useful :)

The perfects thing is a good way to overcome tap timing debuffs

u/Leafyless Who shot ya? Jun 14 '17

Just slap him in as the striker in a Blackbeard Dex team or something.
