User blog:HQDominator/Ways to get to the DEF Cap in Brave Frontier Global

I have recently been curious as to what the maximum stat boosts are that a person can have, and in this blog I will show what the highest obtainable Defense is in the game. I will be testing 2 different units in this section, Metal Mimic (for an actual highest DEF) and Deimos Thunderborn (for highest usable DEF.)

FOREWARNING: I don't have all of the units that I will be talking about, so I can't actually test this. However, it will be possible for me to test once I get a) the units mentioned   and b) once I get Penta-Locus. Feel free to correct me if my calculations are wrong.

For convenience purposes, Metal Mimic will be abbreviated as MM and Deimos as D.

To explain the math, their DEF will always be multiplied by 1.00+ another number because 1.00=100% of DEF.  Every .01= a 1% boost to DEF

So, to start with, I will add the spheres to the units. Since Metal Mimic can only hold one sphere, this will be added into his calculations accordingly. For MM, Guardian Cloak will be equipped while Guardian Cloak and Penta-Locus will be equipped on D. During the test, the units will be assumed to be at 1% HP in order to maximize on the DEF boost, so the will receive the 360% DEF buff from the Guardian Cloak. MM cannot be imped and types do not change anything, so the calculation for it is 9999*4.6=45995.4. As a Guardian, D has a max imped DEF of 3293, so 3293*4.9=16135.

Next, I will add the Leader Skills. Deathless Hadaron gives a 50% base DEF boost and boosts DEF by 0.5% for every 1% of HP lost. With double Hadaron leads, this comes to a 199% boost to DEF at 1 HP. So, if these units are at 1% HP and have the aforementioned spheres equipped, their DEF becomes (for MM) 9999*6.59=65893 and (for D) 3293*6.89=22688.

Since there several BB/SBB/UBBs that boost DEF in the game, I doubtless didn't get the right ones, so please correct me if I'm wrong!

Quatre Marinus Duran's UBB boosts DEF, ATK, and REC by 200% and Ice Bastion Zeldeus's SBB boosts DEF by 140%. With both of these buffs on MM at 1% HP, the calculation becomes 9999*9.99=99890 DEF!!

Deimos has an additional buff that can be applied to him, Taunt. Taunt increases DEF by 250%. This buff, along with the others, brings the calculation up to 3293*10.8=35564 DEF!?!

This next step complicates things up a bit, but hopefully I make it as easy to understand as possible. Archangel Aurelia increases all units' DEF by 80% of their REC on her SBB. This means in order to determine how much DEF she will add, I must figure out the unit's REC as well. After Duran's UBB has been used, all units will have a 200% boost to REC, so MM will have 1*3=3 REC. Converting 80% of this to DEF makes 99892 DEF, which is not exactly groundbreaking. D will have (at max imp) 2265*3=6795 REC. Converting 80% of this to DEF makes 6795*0.8=5436. 5436+35564=41000 DEF (at 1% HP.)

Now, if you really want to have some fun, use Zeldeus's UBB instead of Duran's and bring Magress for a 130% DEF buff on SBB. This will get you 9999*9.59=95890 DEF for MM, which, when converted into ATK makes his total ATK equal to 666*8.92=5940 (from Hadaron's LS) plus 95890 = 101,830 ATK. Just think about the damage that will deal. D will get 2587*8.92=23076 ATK plus (4665+3293)*9.59=99,393. (This is his ATK boost without Taunt because he can't actually use the DEF from Taunt to boost his ATK in the same turn.)

Like this? Hate this? I'm sure I screwed up somewhere, so if you catch me screwing up, please tell me!
