User blog:Nyonne/"UTILITY" and "DIVERSITY"

Almost everyday in every Brave Frontier-related group or chat group or -- anywhere Brave Frontier-related, there is a legendary question :

"Is ((name of a unit)) good???"
.....

Guys, in Brave Frontier, there are two things you must know :

1. Utility.

 * Every single unit has their unique ability. This made them excels in one thing or two. For example, we know that Griff, Zedus, and Reis specialized in critical while people used Roa, Chrome, Elza, and Rosetta for spark. People usually brings Krantz, Dolk, Elimo, or Shera for their mitigator, and Charla, Elimo,  for healing. People used Ark, Korzan, Haile, or Michele to boost their squad's ATK; while Kanon and Dolk to boost their squad's defense.


 * For an offensive squad, people usually bring Griff or Avant leaders. With Chrome, and add some nukers and attacking mitigator. For defensive squad, there are Tridon, Drevas, Gazia, Dolk, etc for the leader slot.

What do you get from those things I mentioned above? There is this thing called "utility". Each unit excels in one thing or two, and a good player knows how to build a good squad by taking advantage from the units they have. No need to have OP units! 'No need to have an all-male/female units! Gender doesn't matter, physical appearance doesn't matter, OP-ness doesn't matter!!! What matters is their skill! Remember, the new batches came NOT to outclass the previous batch, but to upgrade the previous batch!!!' That is why you need to know how to utilize your unit and build a good squad from there!!! 'EVERY. UNIT. IS. GREAT. If you know how to utilize them!'

2. Diversity

 * We have many mitigators in the game : Elimo, Zeldeus, Gazia, Krantz, Darvanshel, Edea, Dolk, Narza, Aaron, Shera, Rabeld.

yeah maybe I missed some units, I can't remember all those 1000+ units, can I? lol.

So, what you can get from that? Yep, There are this thing called "diversity", and it's your job to determine which one to bring to a content. Remember, 'having 4 or 5 or maybe ALL of mitigators are fine! Just as fine as having 4 spark buffers, 5 healers, 6 ATK buffers, and/or 3 DEF buffers at once!' As long as you know where to use them, then I don't see any reason to dump your old mitigator once you summoned a new and (according to people who are blinded with meta) better mitigator for some Merit Points! What? suffering lack of space foe your unit inventory? Just use a gem or 2, that won't hurt that bad! Just so you know, your gem in the game is like money. You need to manage it wisely. I spent 5 gems at once to increase my capacity at unit inventory, and I am fine with that. Why so stingy?

Besides, you're gonna need at least 4 mitigators for Grand Quest, and at least 4 mitigators with different skill for Trials! Like, you can put a Gazia in your Trial squad but you have to consider Shera and Elimo for other content like Grand Quest, GGC, or even hard quests. Remember, 'EVERY. UNIT. IS. GREAT. If you know how to utilize them! Yep, even units with similar skills!'

So, with this post, along with the dawn of 2016, let us change our mind. Comparing the first question I labeled as "legendary" question, it's MUCH better if you ask :

"Where can ((name of a unit)) be used?"
Remember :
