Now that they buffed Allanon, there are some important things to note about what he has now.


 * Allanon now has 10% OD fill instead of 8% on SBB
 * Allanon now has 50% OD fill instead of 30% on UBB

What this means is that it's much easier to perform iUBB without the need to own a Summoner Robe.

Suppose you have a squad consisting of Natalame, Ravea, Ezra, Summoner Robe helper (not friend if doing SZ), Fizz, and Allanon.


 * Natalame for UBB recasting, also has the UBB OD fill rate SP
 * Ravea for 100% extra action on UBB, also has 10% OD fill on SBB
 * Ezra for 12% OD fill on SP-enhanced SBB
 * Summoner Robe for 16% OD fill on BB/SBB
 * Fizz for 10% OD fill on SBB
 * Allanon for 10% OD fill on SBB and 50% OD fill on UBB

12%+10%+10%+16%=48%. Recasting that will become 96%, which is a total of 9600 OD points filled out of 10000 before using your first UBB. Every SBB used nets 200 OD points, and that's powered up by Natalame's UBB so you'll fill 800 OD points after Natalame finishes her first cast animation. Subsequent UBBs increase the internal limit by 5000 OD points, which makes it out to 15000 before second UBB, 20000 before third UBB, and so on. Upon performing iUBB the second time with the aforementioned units, that's 14400 OD points filled out of 15000, which is enough for Natalame's action to fill the OD gauge to full.

What am I trying to tell you? Before, you had to use Shion as the unit who uses UBB infinitely in a single turn, and you could only perform this once per battle, so if you were in a trial, you had to decide on which phase you wanted to perform iUBB for. With Allanon now, you can use him as the iUBB attacker instead of Shion. The only thing Allanon is missing out of iUBB is his low damage overall, which means a longer run in comparison to Shion, but that difference is minuscule anyway.
