Talk:Infernal Ravager Korzan/@comment-26336535-20151129045031

Imma just put this here since people seem to be comparing them based on biases, completely ignoring whatever the units actually do:

Korzan v. Avant : Comparison(note that I will not compare ES, but simply factor that into the comparison):

Leader skills:

Korzan has a stronger HP boost, and offers an ATK boost that goes multiplicatively with Crit. Has a stronger Crit Damage buff than Avant here, and further boosts damage when BB guage is full. Avant, however, buffs Spark, which is powerful when combined with Crit. Though, since it's not one of the strongest buffs, you might as well go with Korzan-Spark Buffer leads. Avant's BB multiplier buff is also nice, but it's not too powerful when comparing it to Sparks, Crits, and ATK buffs. But then Korzan offers something Avant doesn't: BB utility. Regen BB when attacked.

Stats/Spheres:

Avant has higher base stats, but maxed, Korzan beats him out in every stat. However, when you take spheres and ESs into account, Avant has much higher HP, DEF, and REC, and even higher ATK. Not much to say here. Also, Dandelga offers BB Regen, so that might be more desirable if you think you're lacking BB momentum and need your Crit Buffer to spam. However, the Vulcan Axe adds a Crit Chance buff, which helps against crit resistant bosses and attacking on the first turn.

(Super/Ultimate) Brave Bursts:

With his ES, Korzan basically outclasses Avant as a damage dealer. All his multipliers are higher when he's at full HP, and they go even higher as he dies. As for BBs, look at Avant's, copy it, make it have a higher multiplier, make the ATK boost stronger, add DEF ignore, and make it give back some BC when you use it, and you have Korzan's BB. Basically Korzan's BB is much, much better. DEF ignore is also nice for Metal Parade if you don't have a DEF ignore unit already.

Then for SBBs, Avant's Spark Vulnerability and BB attack buff are useful, but they aren't too powerful. Avant makes up for that by offering a Crit Damage buff (50%) and boosting ATK relative to HP (15%). Korzan does those last two things much better than Avant. Korzan has a stronger Crit Damage buff (75%) and a stronger HP to ATK conversion (20%). To go along with the HP to ATK conversion, he increases maximum health. That's not even mentioning his monstrous multiplier, which, with his ES, can become nearly as powerful as Hadaron's or Gravion's 7* SBB.

Now let's talk UBB. Avant offers a relatively high hit count UBB, which has a very strong multiplier assuming he's at full health (usually not the case in difficult content). Then he gives the strongest Crit buff in game, and a very strong spark damage buff (100%), then gives a moderately strong BB multiplier buff.

Korzan, on the other hand, can surpass Lucius in power with a maximum UBB multiplier of 4200% with his ES. It offers the same crit damage buff as Avant's, though it misses a spark buff. However, he offers the highest possible (?) HP to ATK conversion in the game (50%) and doubles his HP. That's extremely ridiculous damage potential, and ridiculous health, topping the surprisingly tanky Hadaron and fortresses like Tridon and Zeldeus. It's also 2 hits, making it ludicrously easy to spark with a Spark Blanket like Ruby or Shera.

My overall assessment: Korzan pretty much outclasses Avant in everything that they share, except for stats when you disregard UBBs. Avant becomes more useful when you don't already have a BB multiplier buffer or a Spark Buffer. However, if you have one of those already, like Chrome or Lava, then Korzan becomes much more useful.
