Sacred Seal: Atk/Res Solo / Mirror Strike

  • The introduction of Canas’s Ancient Codex finally pulls him out of the club of terrible slow red mages and makes him a capable player phase unit thanks to the massive Attack and Resistance buffs it grants, in addition to dealing extra damage based on 20% of his or his opponent’s Resistance(Whichever is higher.)
  • To supplement this, Canas will want to stack as much Attack and Resistance as possible on Player Phase, meaning A slots such as Atk/Res Solo and Mirror Impact are his best options as they do exactly that. Mirror Impact additionally prevents the foe’s follow-up attacks when he initiates, giving him some extra safety during Player Phase.
  • Lull Atk/Res gives Canas another stat swing with the debuff it grants in addition to negating the foe’s Attack and Resistance buffs. He can opt for Chill Res on a budget as well, however he must be wary of foes with debuff negation skills such as Atk/Res Unity.
  • Atk/Res Solo is Canas’s best seal option as it provides more stats to him than the comparable Mirror Blow, although that can be used instead if another team member is using the seal(Or if you don’t like Solo condition).

Strengths

Ancient Codex

Canas’s Ancient Codex is single handedly responsible for pulling Canas out of the pit of mediocrity and making him a decent Player Phase unit, thanks in no small part to the large Attack and Resistance boosts it grants while also dealing Resistance scaling damage(Based on the higher between his own and his foe’s). This lets Canas be a decently strong option for a Player Phase unit due to his high damage output.

Weaknesses

Lacking Defense and Speed

Canas’s Speed and Defense are both fairly low at base 29 and 21 respectively, making follow-up attacks a rarity for him and making him susceptible to being KO’d easily by physical foes.
