Talk:Ice Bastion Zeldeus/@comment-26464145-20150815092035

I've read a lot of comment before posting this, and some shocked me, saying that Zeldeus is useless. And some others says that Tridon/Edea is better than him. I would say a couple of things:

1) Zeldeus is not useless. You can some recent units like Balgran or Kagura which are efficient, sure, but not enough for every situations. Why Zeldeus is better than them? Because he is very good in every situations: he got a mitigation and a boost of 140% of defense, and a single hit on his SBB. In every case you need a mitigation or a good Def boost (except in arena probably), and his single hit is easily sparkable, so even if you don't privilege Atk on him, which can be understood, he will still deal a great amount of damage. And I would say at last that his water element can suffer from thunder elements, but his high basic defense stats can prevent too much damage in one turn.

2) People have to say that Tridon/Edea are better than him. To this, I answer "Why you have to take a combo against a single unit? It's like saying Claire and Colt are better than him!" Of course The combo Tridon/Edea is powerful, I'm not denying it, but If you compare Zeldeus to them, he's doing 75% of the important job, which means Def boost and mitigation. Edea can cure status ailment? We can get a leader for this. She give a chance of inflicting status ailment? People survived without. Tridon gives an unique shield? Great, it helps survivability, but other things can help for surviving. Tridon boost BC/HC drop rate? Other units can do it.

My point is that Zeldeus does an important job and you can't compare him to 2 powerful units like this, and he has higher stats than the average 7* units and... damn, he's a mitigator you can't say he's useless!
