Zedus is a really good crit and spark unit. His crit and spark boosts are really high and his ES can also boosts crit rate by 60%, which is also one of the highest crit rate boosts in the game. His LS also boosts crit and spark damage, but one of the best things is that it can boost crit rate by an additional 20%. Therefore, with your base crit rate, LS crit rate, and the crit rate boost from ES, you will have a crit rate of 90%. In fact, when fighting against bosses which have resistance to crit, his LS crit rate boost can ignore that resistance. He can also add elemental weakness boost, causing your elemental weakness damage to be a total of 100% increase from normal damage rather than a normal elemental weakness damage with 50% damage increase from normal damage. His UBB is also extremely damaging and has one of the best crit damage boosts in game.

Another awesome thing about him is that he has a really high chance to inflict ATK and DEF down by 50%, with a 50% chance to occur. The DEF down will allow your team to have a great increase of total damage dealt to the inflicted enemy since its DEF stats are reduced. The ATK down will, let's say, "mitigate" most of the damage the inflicted enemy deals by 50%. This ATK down is useful when fighting extemely damaging enemies. If you apply your team with a normal mitigation buff and apply the 50% ATK down on the enemy, you will be able to reduce the majority of the enemy's damage by 75%, which is the same as a normal 75% UBB mitigation. On that note, if using the ATK down along with UBB mitigation, you will reduce the majority of enemy's damage by 87.5%. Another situation the ATK down is useful is if your team is buffed wiped and you end up with no mitigation. If this occurs, THE ENEMY CANNOT BUFF WIPE SELF FROM THE ATK DOWN (unless it uses a skill which specifically removes buffs from self). Therefore, without mitigation, the majority of the damage you receive will still be reduced by 50%. The only time the ATK down won't work is if the enemy deals fixed or percent hp damage. But it will still reduce majority of the enemy's damage, especially from strong skills, normal attacks, and DEF ignore attacks.

Lol I said a lot about Zedus's uses. But this should cover up on mostly how good Zedus is.
