User blog:SimpleorGidofter/Unpopular Units: Arius

So, Arius requested that I would do a review of him in my series. This will be the first time I reviewed another player, so this ought to be interesting...

Arius was released as part of the unit batch "Bonded by Blood." Backstory Alert: He's the third prince of La Sama and a lover/stalker of Selena, painting several pictures of her without her permission and putting them up in public. He was never a good general, and would always try to agree with everyone's opinions, causing havoc in the navy. Then one day, he recruited Mega into the army. Mega pointed out Arius' flaws and Arius made Mega the new admiral. Arius went out to the battlefield himself, and proved himself a better soldier than general. Mega (sorta) dies, and Arius takes his place for a short while. He was much more able to control the Navy, and as soon as Mega was back up and ready to lead the navy, Arius went back to the battlefield.

Woah... that's a lot of backstory I put in there... Anyway, Arius requested that I give him a review, and here it is, beginning with his stats: Good health stats, decent attacks, little low on defense and recovery, but nothing that will detract from the value of the unit.

He has a good Leader Skill, too:

Leader Skill: Love Palpitations[Recovery/Brave Burst] BB gauge fills hugely after each turn  & boost in effectiveness of Heart Crystals

It's similar to Aem's in terms of BB gauge-filling, but it adds to that by making Heart Crystals 25% more effective. This is a pretty good one.

His BB is a decent one:

Brave Burst: Sacred Sting[Offense] 13 combo powerful Water attack on all enemies & probable Weakness effect

It's a standard attack BB, but with a weakness debuff attached. This isn't the best, but it beats Aem and Felneus.

His SBB is awesome, though:

S uper  BB: Bracing Slash[Heal/Offense] 16 combo powerful Water attack on all enemies, probableWeakness effect  & recovers HP for all allies

He recovers HP for all allies and attacks. The heal buff is nice, and so is the attack.

Score: 8/10
