Sirius (Unit)

Preferred IV: +ATK or +SPD / -RES

• Sirius prefers to increase his offensive capabilities further with either an Attack or Speed Asset to either hit harder or increase his consistency in performing follow-up attacks. Resistance is the chosen Flaw as lowering his pitiful Resistance further is of little consequence to Sirius’s performance.

Weapon: Sable Lance

• Sirius’s Sable Lance is an outstanding weapon, granting him permanent -1 cooldown on his Specials in addition to a Spectrum Solo effect. This weapon allows Sirius to be a devastating melee duelist, especially when he’s away from allies.

Assist: Reposition / Preference

Special: Galeforce / Bonfire

• Galeforce is one of Sirius’s best Special options, as it allows him to defeat several opponents or retreat to safety with the extra action it grants. In addition, with the combination of Heavy Blade and the Sable Lance’s Slaying effect, Sirius will have little trouble activating Galeforce.

• Bonfire is also a good choice if one desires a damaging Special, as it scales well with Sirius’s Innately high Defense.

Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo / Atk/Def Solo

• Sirius’s innate Atk/Spd Solo synergizes brilliantly with his Sable Lance, granting him a +6 bonus to his Attack and Speed while next to no adjacent allies. When combined with Sable Lance’s spectrum solo, Sirius gains a staggering +10 to both of his offensive stats when away from allies, letting Sirius hit incredibly hard and perform Follow-up attacks with ease.

• Atk/Def Solo can be used as an alternative to increase Sirius’s physical durability further, at the cost of Speed.

Passive B: Lull Atk/Spd / Hit And Run

• Sirius’s innate Lull Atk/Spd is also an amazing choice, reducing the Attack and Speed of foes by 3 as well as negating their Attack and Speed buffs. This allows Sirius to make much easier use of Heavy Blade, and sustain less damage from foes in general, in addition to making Sirius even more difficult to follow-up attack.

• Hit And Run is a decent alternative, as it allows Sirius to move out of range of enemies and into safety by moving him one space away after combat.

Passive C: Atk Smoke / Preference

• As Sirius Prefers to fight away from allies, Atk Smoke aids his survivability by reducing the Attack of all foes within 2 space by 7 after combat. Cavalry Buffs and Wave skills can also be used to decent effect, depending on the team’s needs.

Sacred Seal: Heavy Blade / Sturdy Blow

• Heavy Blade is an amazing seal choice for Sirius as it allows him to activate devastating Specials such as Galeforce incredibly quickly as long as its effect is live, something Sirius will have little trouble with thanks to his solid Attack.

• Sturdy Blow can also be used to grant Sirius a simple boost to Attack and Defense during Player Phase.

Preferred IV: +ATK or +SPD or +DEF / -RES

• Sirius still greatly appreciates Assets in Attack and Speed, but an Asset in Defense can also be taken to maximize Sirius’s physical tanking abilities. Resistance remains Sirius’s ideal Flaw as it does little to affect his performance.

Weapon: Sable Lance

• Sirius’s weapon of choice remains the Sable Lance, as it grants Sirius a significant boost to his stats when away from allies, in addition to the always helpful Slaying-effect.

Assist: Reposition / Preference

Special: Bonfire / Ignis / Aether

• Bonfire one of Sirius’s best special options, as it deals great damage thanks to his high Defense and Defense boosting skills such as Steady Stance 4. The Sable Lance’s Slaying-effect also allows Bonfire activate much more quickly.

• Ignis and Aether can be used to grant Sirius extra damage or self sustain, at the cost of a longer cooldown.

Passive A: Steady Stance 4 / Fort Def/Res 3

• Steady Stance 4 is one of the best defensive A slot skills available, granting Sirius 8 Defense in addition to Guard during Enemy Phase, letting Sirius deny enemy Specials and tank physical damage easily.

• Fort Def/Res is a noteworthy alternative, as it grants Sirius a greater boost to his overall defenses, at the cost of 2 Attack and Steady Stance’s Guard-effect.

Passive B: Lull Atk/Spd / Mystic Boost

• Lull Atk/Spd remains a fantastic choice, as it reduces the key offensive stats of foes and negates the foe’s buffs in them, making Sirius even more difficult for physical foes to surmount.

• Mystic Boost can also be used to grant Sirius some self sustain. As a minor upside, Mystic Boost also negates staff user’s Wrathful Staff skill, although he should still avoid Staff users if possible.

Passive C: Atk Smoke / Preference

• While Atk Smoke once again aids greatly in Sirius’s survivability, the C slot Sirius uses is mainly up to player preference.

Sacred Seal: Close Def / Fierce Stance

• Close Def makes Sirius even more durable during the Enemy Phase, granting him a sizeable boost to his Defense and Resistance when attacked by melee foes.

• Fierce Stance is a decent alternative if one wishes to increase Sirius’s damage output during Enemy Phase.
