Ah, game mechanics. There's quite a bit of math involved with points 1 and 2 here.

1. BB Gauge A lot of this is explained in Xie'Jing's Unit Spotlight. You can take a look at it if you want. I'll also consider doing a Mechanic Spotlight on this once I finish the History of Linathan series. This might sound a bit confusing considering there's quite a bit of math involved here. If we really want to get crazy with math, let's take Quaid as an example and make him as the leader. 2. Mitigation 3. 7* Farlon Our glass cannon! One downside is that his Def Down effect cannot be cured by any anti-debuffers. His Def Down effect is similar to the one Trial 001 Karl has. However, it is stackable with other Def buffs, like Elimo's SBB (e.g. -50% + 140% = 90%).
 * Any additional boosts to BC drop rate will contribute to the base 35% BC drop rate. For example, Rin's Leader Skill boosts BC drop rate by 25%. This means that the total BC drop rate will become 60%, which is 71% higher than normal. Let's say you produce 100 BC. With Rin's Leader Skill active, you will produce an average of about 171 BC, thanks to the boost in drop rate.
 * BC cost reduction also contributes to fill rate. Let's take Lucana for example. Her Leader Skill reduces BC cost by 25%. Let's also take Karl as an example, whose BB costs 20 BC. With Lucana's Leader Skill active, Karl's BB will only cost 15 BC. Think of this as a 33% boost to BB fill rate because of the reduction in BC cost.
 * BB fill rate takes each BC and makes them more valuable. Let's take Elza as an example. Her Leader Skill boosts BB fill rate by 50%. This means that for every BC a unit collects, it fills 1.5 BC. Let's take Karl's BB as an example again. With the 50% fill rate, Karl's BB will only require 13 BC.
 * Quaid reduces BC cost by 20% and boosts BB fill rate by 30%. If we take a unit with a BB that costs 50 BC as an example, that unit's BB will only cost 40 BC due to the 20% BC cost reduction. With the 30% fill rate, each BC will fill 1.3 BC. This means that unit will only require 30.8 BC. By doing 50/30.8, we get 1.6, which means that Quaid has a 60% BB fill rate, which is the best in the game before Vesti comes out.
 * 50% mitigation and elemental mitigation are stackable even in Global. This means that Balgran's 100% mitigation against Water enemies is stackable with 50% mitigation, but it's not necessary since Balgran already reduces damage by 100% from water enemies if you're in a water-centralized mission. However, with these, it's not much of a necessity to have. Though, once BB/SBB and UBB buffs become stackable in Global, universal mitigation buffs will become necessary to stack with as more challenges become released in the future.
