My favorite Brave Frontier units! (Leaders)

Hey guys!

So for now, I'm gonna be talking about my favorite Brave Frontier units. I'll be giving some sort of small analysis of the unit, and the reasons why I like said unit. Reasons may include:

- Stats
- Brave Burst/Super Brave Burst
- Attacking power

You may notice that I have some words in parentheses at the top. I will be splitting my favorite units into different parts: Leaders, Attackers, and Support. This time, I will be talking about my favorite units as leaders. Among those three possible reasons on why I like the unit, there is the Leader Skill, which is why we select the unit as leader in the first place.

Also, this list comes from units that I personally have in Global AND JP, and are currently available in the JP version. Their lower evolutionary forms are available in Global right now, so it might give an idea on who you want to raise in preparation for the new 6* evolutions. This list is done in no particular order.

Here we go!

1. Grahdens (Dark, 5*, only available as Lord)

Grah is a trial unit, that is, he is obtainable by beating a trial in the Imperial Capital Randall. Grah is the enemy in Trial 002, which I covered a while back. He is an essential unit to fight Maxwell with in Trial 003, mainly because of his Leader Skill. His stats lean more to ATK compared to other stats as well.

I use Grahdens as my leader in my strong Global file. This is mainly due to his Leader Skill, which compliments well with my team there. In Global, my team is mainly composed of Light and Dark units, the only exception being my Empyreal Drake Lodin (Oracle).

LS: Ancient Authority (20% boost to all stats, 15% reduction in damage taken from Light and Dark units)
BB: Leader's Barrage (15 combo Light and Dark AOE, gives Light and Dark element to all allies' attack for 2 turns)

2. Defiant God Luther (Fire 6*, Guardian or Anima typing preferred)

Luther, Ruza, whatever. He's an awesome character to have.

Luther is a Rare Summon unit from Uda's batch. The units from that batch signify the power creep happening in Global right now (and JP back then). Their stats are superior compared to the Twelve Guardians, and they ain't scared to flaunt it.

Luther is a unit specially made for spark teams, what with his LS and SBB. His attack is high, but his defense is not something to write home about, so a Guardian typing is preferred for this guy. Or Anima, but I prefer Guardian. Personally, I absolutely LOVE his character design (I personally think he's better-looking compared to Uda. Lodin's still the best for me though.), and he is one of my most-wanted units in Global.

I use a Guardian Defiant God Luther as leader in my JP file, and I have an Anima Luther in my weak Global file. Luther is my leader in JP because my team is really easy to spark with.

LS: Raging Might (Boost to damage inflicted and BC produced during spark)
BB: Full Metal Cross (15 combo strong STBB, chance to inflict paralysis and weakness)
SBB: Inferno Sin (28 combo AOE that increases spark damage for 3 turns)

3. Empyreal Drake Lodin (Thunder 6*, Guardian or Anima preferred)

Ah, Lodin. He is one of my most favorite units in Brave Frontier history, and has beaten Lance for that position. Why? 6* Lodin is freaking awesome AND useful, especially his SBB and his LS!

He is a Rare Summon unit, and is generally considered one of the better units you could possibly summon, even when his cost is lower than some of the newer units.

Lodin has extremely high attack to begin with, much like Luther. His defense is nothing to write home about, however. It's the reason why Guardian typing is the most preferred for him. But, Anima is alright too.

Lodin is an extremely useful Five Light leader, and it's the main reason why my leader in Global might change to Empyreal Drake Lodin (Oracle) at times, other than the fact that his design is really cool.

LS: Five Light's Spirit (50% boost to attack power and boost to BB gauge fill rate for a team with 5 or more elements)
BB: Rising Quasar (Fills BB gauge of allies, and gives Thunder element to all allies' attacks for 3 turns)
SBB: Thunder Collision (15 combo AOE, gives Thunder element to all allies' attacks and BB gauge regen for all allies' for 3 turns)

4. ANY Ares Excelsior leader, most obvious being Crusher God Uda and Felneus

Why?

Ares Excelsior.

Just Ares Excelsior.

Why Uda and Felneus?

BC drop rate boost. That is all.

They're most useful in...any situation, really. But I like to use them in Frontier Hunter when it starts.

LS: Ares Excelsior (Huge boost in BB gauge fill rate)

I think that's it for now...see you, guys!
